Diagnosis and management of acute heart failure
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)Acute heart failure (AHF) is a life threatening clinical syndrome with a progressively increasing incidence in general population. Turkey is a country with a high cardiovascular mortality and recent national statistics ... -
Elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure in patients with mild-to-moderate mitral stenosis: a useful predictor of worsening renal functions?
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2013)Objective: Renal dysfunction commonly accompanies the course of cardiac disorders and strongly associates with increased morbidity and mortality. Elevated central venous pressure is related to worsening renal function in ... -
Frequency of genetic polymorphism for adrenergic receptor beta and cytochrome p450 2D6 enzyme, and effects on tolerability of beta-blocker therapy in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients: The Beta GenTURK study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)Objective: The present objective was to determine frequency of Arginine389Glycine (Arg389Gly) and Cytochrome p450 2D6*10 (Cyp2D6*10) polymorphism in cases of heart failure-reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), and to evaluate ... -
Future of advanced heart failure and mechanical support devices: A Cardiology-Cardiovascular Surgery Consensus Report
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)Heart failure is a progressive disease. A considerable number of patients eventually reach an advanced or terminal phase, in spite of developments in diagnostic procedure, alternative treatments that can slow progression, ... -
Gender-related differences in presentation and treatment of patients with non-valvular atrial fibrillation: results from RAMSES study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)Objective: Gender is an important feature in the management of atrial fibrillation (AF). This study investigated gender-related differences in patients with AF in Turkey. Methods: As a part of RAMSES (ReAl-life Multicenter ... -

Ischemia-modified albumin levels in patients with acute decompensated heart failure treated with dobutamine or levosimendan: IMA-HF study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)Objective: Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a sensitive biomarker of myocardial ischemia. However, data on IMA levels in acute heart failure (HF) are still lacking. In this study, we aimed to evaluate serum IMA levels ... -
Low L-carnitine levels: Can it be a cause of nocturnal blood pressure changes in patients with toe 2 diabetes mellitus?
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2011)Objective: The nocturnal blood pressure (NBP) reduction is less than normal in the patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). L-carnitine deficiency may cause changes of NBP by leading to hyperglycemia, insulin ... -
