Increased d-dimer levels predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with systolic heart failure
Zorlu, Ali; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Yucel, Hasan; Bektasoglu, Gokhan; Ege, Meltem Refiker; Tandogan, Izzet (SPRINGER, 2012)D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product, and is implicated in pathologies of cardiovascular system. Thrombosis within the vascular system in relation with inflammation and stasis might be associated with poor prognosis in ... -
Increased gamma-glutamyl transferase levels predict early mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism
Zorlu, Ali; Yucel, Hasan; Bektasoglu, Gokhan; Turkdogan, Kenan Ahmet; Eryigit, Umut; Sarikaya, Savas; Ege, Meltem Refiker; Tandogan, Izzet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2012)Background: Increased gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) level is associated with increased oxidative stress, all-cause mortality, the development of cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. However, its role in acute ... -
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. ... -
Sleep quality among relatively younger patients with initial diagnosis of hypertension: Dippers versus non-dippers
Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Yalta, Kenan; Turgut, Okan Onur; Yilmaz, Ahmet; Yucel, Oguzhan; Bektasoglu, Gokhan; Tandogan, Izzet (TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2007)Background. Sleep is a basic physiological process. Normal sleep yields decrease in sympathetic activity, blood pressure ( BP) and heart rate. Those, who do not have expected decrease in their BP are considered "non-dippers''. ... -
