Effect of Levosimendan in Patients with Severe Systolic Heart Failure and Worsening Renal Function

Zorlu, Ali; Yucel, Hasan; Yontar, Osman Can; Karahan, Oguz; Tandogan, Izzet; Katrancioglu, Nurkay; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)

Background: Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer, increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing myocardial contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. It was recently shown that levosimendan ...

Influence of influenza vaccination on recurrent hospitalization in patients with heart failure

Kaya, H.; Beton, O.; Acar, G.; Temizhan, A.; Cavusoglu, Y.; Guray, U.; Zoghi, M.; Ural, D.; Ekmekci, A.; Gungor, H.; Sari, I.; Oguz, D.; Yucel, H.; Zorlu, A.; Yilmaz, M. B. (URBAN & VOGEL, 2017)

The current study aimed to evaluate the influence of regular annual influenza vaccinations on cardiovascular (CV) death and heart failure-related hospitalizations (HFrH) in stable outpatients with heart failure with reduced ...

Comparison of Ultrafiltration and Intravenous Diuretic Therapies in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Decompensated Biventricular Heart Failure

Seker, Ayse; Kayatas, Mansur; Huzmeli, Can; Candan, Ferhan; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TURK NEFROLOJI DIYALIZ TRANSPLANTASYON DERGISI, 2016)

OBJECTIVE: Studies comparing ultrafiltration and diuretics in management of ADHF have shown controversial results. In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of intravenous diuretic therapy and ultrafiltration in ...

Usefulness of admission gamma-glutamyltransferase level for predicting new-onset heart failure in patients with acute coronary syndrome with left ventricular systolic dysfunction

Sarikaya S.; Aydin G.; Yuc?el H.; Kaya H.; Yildirimli K.; Basa?ran A.; Zorlu A.; Şahin Ş.; Akyol L.; Bulut M. (2014)

Objectives: Our aim was to determine whether there is a relationship between admission gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and subsequent heart failure hospitalizations in patients with acute coronary syndrome. Study design: ...

Mean Platelet Volume as a Predictor of Heart Failure-Related Hospitalizations in Stable Heart Failure Outpatients with Sinus Rhythm

Kaya, Hakki; Yildinmh, Mustafa Kutay; Kurt, Recep; Beton, Osman; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TAIWAN SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)

Background: In this study, we investigated the relationship between the mean platelet volume (MPV) with mortality and heart failure (HF)-related hospitalization in stable chronic HF outpatients with reduced ejection fraction ...

Right Ventricular Dysfunction Complicates Time in Therapeutic Range in Heart Failure Patients Receiving Warfarin

Beton, Osman; Asarcikli, Lale Dinc; Sen, Taner; Ipek, Esra Gucuk; Kafes, Habibe; Yaman, Mehmet; Efe, Tolga Han; Kaya, Hakki; Temizhan, Ahmet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (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 ...

Hyponatremia is associated with occurrence of atrial fibrillation in outpatients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction

Cavusoglu Y.; Kaya H.; Eraslan S.; Yilmaz M.B. (Hellenic Cardiological Society, 2018)

Objectives: Hyponatremia and atrial fibrillation (AF) have been established as strong predictors for worse clinical outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). However, little is known about hyponatremia in relation to ...

Cancer antigen 125 levels and increased risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation

Yucel, H.; Kaya, H.; Zorlu, A.; Yildirimli, K.; Sancakdar, E.; Gunes, H.; Kurt, R.; Ozgul, U.; Turgut, O. O.; Yilmaz, M. B. (URBAN & VOGEL, 2015)

Elevated cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels are associated with cardiopulmonary disorders such as acute and chronic heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atrial fibrillation ...

Lymphocytopenia is associated with poor NYHA functional class in chronic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction

Yucel, Hasan; Ege, Meltem Refiker; Zorlu, Ali; Kaya, Hakki; Beton, Osman; Gungor, Hasan; Acar, Gurkan; Temizhan, Ahmet; Cavusoglu, Yuksel; Zoghi, Mehdi; Eren, Mehmet; Ural, Dilek; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)

Objective: In heart failure (HF) patients, functional capacity has been demonstrated to be a marker of poor prognosis, independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). Lymphocyte count is currently recognized in ...

The relationship between D-dimer level and the development of atrial fibrillation in patients with systolic heart failure

Zorlu, Ali; Akkaya, Emre; Altay, Hakan; Bektasoglu, Gokhan; Turkdogan, Kenan Ahmet; Sincer, Isa; Vuruskan, Ertan; Cinar, Ziynet; Tandogan, Izzet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (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. ...
