Contemporary management of acute right ventricular failure: a statement from the Heart Failure Association and the Working Group on Pulmonary Circulation and Right Ventricular Function of the European Society of Cardiology
(WILEY, 2016)
Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a complex clinical syndrome that results from many causes. Research efforts have disproportionately focused on the failing left ventricle, but recently the need has been recognized ...
Clinical importance of elevated CK-MB and troponin I levels in congestive heart failure
(HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC, 2006)
Myocyte necrosis has been considered to play a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure (CHF), which has usually evolved as a consequence of depletion of compensatory mechanisms and contractile ...
The Role of the CCR2 Gene Polymorphism in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2011)
Objective: Chronic inflammation play an important role on abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAA) formation. Chemokine receptor-2 (CCR2) is involved in regulation of the inflammatory response. However, relation between CCR2 ...
Sleep quality among relatively younger patients with initial diagnosis of hypertension: Dippers versus non-dippers
(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''. ...
Practical approach to acute heart failure with algorithms
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2009)
Acute heart failure syndrome is a heterogeneous group, which requires distinct therapeutic approaches. Diuretics and/or vasodilators for patients with high blood pressure and inotropic agents for patients with low left ...
The Relationship between Mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure and Quality of Life in Patients with Mitral Stenosis
(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 ...
Left ventricular outflow tract myxoma accompanied by dextrocardia with situs inversus: a case report
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Myxoma is the most frequently encountered primary tumour of the heart, comprising more than 50% of all benign cardiac tumours. The case presented here was diagnosed as having dextrocardia with situs inversus and concomitant ...
The awareness, efficacy, safety, and time in therapeutic range of warfarin in the Turkish population: WARFARIN-TR
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Objective: The awareness, time in therapeutic range (TTR), and safety of warfarin therapy were investigated in the adult Turkish population. Methods: This multicenter prospective study includes 4987 patients using warfarin ...
Comparative effects of levosimendan and dobutamine on right ventricular function in patients with biventricular heart failure
(SPRINGER, 2009)
Severe heart failure represents a major source of morbidity and mortality. Poor right ventricular function is an independent prognostic marker for mortality in patients with chronic heart failure. In this study, levosimendan ...
Relation between serum sodium levels and clinical outcomes in Turkish patients hospitalized for heart failure: a multi-center retrospective observational study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)
Objective: The purpose of the study was to analyze the prevalence of hyponatremia and related 1-year outcomes of patients hospitalized for decompensated heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) in Turkish ...
