Red cell distribution width predicts mortality in infective endocarditis
(ELSEVIER MASSON, 2014)
Background. - Infective endocarditis (IE) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Red cell distribution width (RDW) is a recently recognized biomarker of adverse outcome in a number of acute and chronic ...
Does electrocardiography at admission predict outcome in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever?
(MALARIA RESEARCH CENTRE, INDIAN COUNCIL MEDICAL RESEARCH-ICMR, 2011)
Background & objectives: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic fever with considerable mortality. Despite increasing knowledge about hemorrhagic fever viruses, the pathogenesis of Crimean-Congo ...
Bleeding complications during cardiac electronic device implantation in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy: is there any value of local tranexamic acid?
(BMC, 2016)
Background: The perioperative use of antithrombotic therapy is associated with increased bleeding risk after cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. Topical application of tranexamic acid (TXA) is effective ...
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 ...
The value of exercise SPET for the detection of coronary artery steal syndrome secondary to unligated major side branch of left internal mammary artery
(HELLENIC SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2016)
Objective: The clinical significance of unligated major left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-side branches (SB) remains controversial in patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The aim of this ...
Increased gamma-glutamyl transferase levels predict early mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism
(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 ...
Relationship between TIMI frame count and admission glucose values in acute ST elevation myocardial infarction patients who underwent successful primary percutaneous intervention
(AVES YAYINCILIK, 2011)
Objective: Admission hyperglycemia is associated with poor prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction. Final Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction (TIMI) frame counts of culprit coronary arteries may show ...
Vitamin E and antioxidant activity; its role in slow coronary flow
(CLINICS CARDIVE PUBL PTY LTD, 2013)
Aim: Oxidative stress, which is widely recognised as an important feature of many diseases, can be defined as an increased formation of reactive oxygen species or decreased antioxidant defense. In this study we measured ...
The relationship between D-dimer level and the development of atrial fibrillation in patients with systolic heart failure
(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. ...
Higher cancer antigen 125 level is associated with the presence of permanent atrial fibrillation in systolic heart failure patients
(ACTA CARDIOLOGICA, 2016)
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in heart failure (HF). Recent studies have shown that serum cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) levels are elevated in HF, and high levels of CA-125 in HF patients with ...
