Right Ventricular Dysfunction Complicates Time in Therapeutic Range in Heart Failure Patients Receiving Warfarin
(KARGER, 2017)
Aim: We aimed to evaluate the effect of echocardiographically demonstrated right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) on time in therapeutic range (TTR) in heart failure (HF) patients receiving warfarin therapy. Methods:A total ...
Microalbuminuria is Associated With the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease Independently of Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2012)
The potential early predictive value of microalbuminuria (MA) in the estimation of atherosclerosis and the relation between the degree of urinary albumin excretion and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) were ...
C-type natriuretic peptide is associated with the severity of Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2012)
Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is characterized by vascular dysfunction, indicating the involvement of endothelial cells. C-type natriuretic peptide (CNP) plays a critical role in the coordination of ...

Central Diastolic Blood Pressure Is Associated With the Degree of Coronary Collateral Development
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2013)
Coronary collaterals (CCs) serve as alternative conduits for blood flow in obstructive coronary artery disease. We investigated the association of various components of blood pressure (BP) parameters with the the degree ...
Aortic intracardiac echocardiography-guided septal puncture during mitral valvuloplasty
(OXFORD UNIV PRESS, 2014)
Transoesophageal echocardiography (TEE) and venous intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) are traditionally used to visualize the interatrial septum (IAS) and the tenting effect of the fossa ovalis in patients undergoing ...
Plasma CA-125 level is related to both sides of the heart: A retrospective analysis
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2011)
Objective: CA-125 is an old marker, recently shown to be associated with systolic heart failure. We aimed to search for factors influencing its plasma level. Design: 430 patients with one available CA-125 level were ...
Is There a Clinically Meaningful Change in the Blood Pressure of Osteoarthritis Patients with Comorbid Hypertension During the Course of Balneotherapy?
(WOLTERS KLUWER MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS, 2015)
Background: Balneotherapy (BT) is a treatment modality that uses the physical and chemical effects of water, including thermomineral, acratothermal, and acratopegal waters. It has many effects on cardiovascular system. ...
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 ...
