Gul, Ibrahim; Yucel, Oguzhan; Zararsiz, Abdullah; Demirpence, Ozlem; Yucel, Hasan; Zorlu, Ali; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)Objective: Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2), a member of the interleukin 1 receptor family, is increased in mechanical stress conditions and is produced by cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. Elevated ... -
Regular blood donation improves endothelial function in adult males
Yucel, Hasan; Zorlu, Ali; Kaya, Hakki; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)Objective: Endothelial dysfunction, secondary to systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, is known to play a major role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. It is hypothesized that the lower incidence ... -
Relation of Serum Parathyroid Hormone Level to Severity of Heart Failure
Allay, Hakan; Zorlu, Ali; Binici, Suleyman; Bilgi, Muhammet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Colkesen, Yucel; Erol, Tansel; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (EXCERPTA MEDICA INC-ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2012)Increased parathyroid hormone (PTH) level is associated with all-cause mortality in patients with heart failure (HF). However its role for identifying advanced HF has not been previously studied. We aimed to investigate ... -
The relationship between D-dimer level and the development of atrial fibrillation in patients with systolic heart failure
Zorlu, Ali; Akkaya, Emre; Altay, Hakan; Bektasoglu, Gokhan; Turkdogan, Kenan Ahmet; Sincer, Isa; Vuruskan, Ertan; Cinar, Ziynet; Tandogan, Izzet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (SPRINGER, 2012)Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common and leading cause of death worldwide. Clinical trials provide evidence that the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with HF. ... -
Relationship between functional capacity and socioeconomic status in a cohort of Turkish heart failure patients
Kaya, Hakki; Ege, Meltem Refiker; Zorlu, Ali; Beton, Osman; Gungor, Hasan; Temizhan, Ahmet; Guray, Yesim; Cavusoglu, Yuksel; Zoghi, Mehdi; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)Objective: New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification predicts prognosis for heart failure (HF) patients. Socioeconomic status (SES) has the potential to affect treatment strategy and disease course. The present ... -
The Relationship between Mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure and Quality of Life in Patients with Mitral Stenosis
Zorlu, Ali; Amioglu, Gullu; Yilmaz, Nuryil; Semiz, Murat; Ege, Meltem Refiker; Aydin, Gulay; Tandogan, Izzet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (KARGER, 2011)Objectives: We aimed to evaluate echocardiography-guided hemodynamic determinants of quality of life (QoL) via the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire in patients with mild to moderate mitral stenosis ... -
Relationship between Parathyroid Hormone and Depression in Heart Failure
Altay, Hakan; Zorlu, Ali; Kocum, Halil Tolga; Demircan, Senol; Yilmaz, Nuryil; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)Background: Depression has been found to be a predictor of rehospitalization and mortality in heart failure (HF). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a novel promising biomarker that can predict hospitalization, functional status ... -
Relationship between red cell distribution width and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
Sincer, Isa; Zorlu, Ali; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Dogan, Omer Tamer; Ege, Meltem Refiker; Amioglu, Gullu; Aydin, Gulay; Ardic, Idris; Tandogan, Izzet (MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2012)BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressively debilitating disease limiting patients' survival. The prognosis of COPD worsens with the addition of right ventricular (RV) failure. Red cell ... -
Role of CA-125 in Identification of Right Ventricular Failure in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Zorlu, Ali; Dogan, Omer Tamer; Karahan, Oguz; Tandogan, Izzet; Akkurt, Ibrahim (WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2011)Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressive and debilitating disease. Cor pulmonale, characterized by right ventricular (RV) failure, can severely influence prognosis in these patients. Hence, ... -
