Evaluation of Atrial Electromechanical Coupling Times in Hemodialysis Patients
(WILEY, 2014)
BackgroundThere are no definite data about the atrial electromechanical coupling times (AEMCT) in patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF). The aim of this study was to investigate the AEMCT in ESRF patients without ...
Evaluation of Endothelium Functions by Flow-mediated Dilatation in Pediatric Patients With Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2015)
Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a systemic viral disease that also affects the endothelium. Thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage are seen in this disease. But, the cause of thrombocytopenia is not clear. ...
Dronedarone: A Promising Alternative for the Management of Atrial Fibrillation
(SPRINGER, 2009)
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most frequently encountered chronic arrhythmia associated with significant morbidity. It is generally encountered in the elderly, and will presumably become more prevalent in the future due ...
Evaluation of Myocardial Perfusion Imaging SPECT Parameters and Pharmacologic Stress Test with Adenosine Versus Coronary Angiography Findings: Are They Diagnostically Concordant?
(GALENOS YAYINCILIK, 2019)
Objectives: In this study our first aim was to evaluate the diagnostic concordance of myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) by pharmacological stress test with adenosine (APST) with coronary angiography (CAG). The secondary ...
Abnormal Heart Rate Recovery in Stable Heart Failure Patients
(WILEY, 2013)
Background Heart rate decrease after exercise, that is associated with reactivation of parasympathetic system, is important, as it is also associated with mortality. Previous studies have shown that this is an independent ...
Tortuosity of coronary arteries: an indicator for impaired left ventricular relaxation?
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Objective To investigate the relationship between coronary tortuosity and impaired left ventricular relaxation. Methods One hundred and four subjects who underwent coronary angiography were included in the study. Left ...
Asymptomatic total anomalous pulmonary venous connection with double drainage in a young adult: A case report
(FORUM MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHING, LLC, 2007)
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection is an uncommon congenital anomaly in which all pulmonary venous return drains to the right atrium or one of its tributaries. Survival beyond infancy without surgical palliation ...
Herbals in cardiovascular practice: Are physicians neglecting anything?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2007)
Background: Herbal products have been widely used by many patients with cardiovascular problems solely expecting benefit out of them. Since, it is important to consider patients' needs and believes to prevent breaking off ...
Hypertensive response to exercise in dipper and non-dipper normotensive diabetics
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2014)
Non-dipper blood pressure (NDP) as an indicator of autonomic dysfunction could be associated with hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) in diabetic patients. HRE was determined as a predictor of development of unborn ...
The effect of collateral circulation on left ventricular systolic function
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2007)
Background Conflicting reports exist on the influence of coronary collateral circulation on preservation of left ventricular systolic function. The aim of this study was to assess the effect of coronary collateral circulation ...
