Plasma osmolality predicts mortality in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction
(VIA MEDICA, 2017)
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a fatal disease. Plasma osmolality with individual impacts of sodium, blood urea nitrogen (BUN), and glucose has not been studied prognostically in patients with HF. Aim: This study aims ...
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 ...
Atrial fibrillation is associated with increased mean platelet volume in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2013)
Platelet abnormalities in diabetes mellitus (DM) and atrial fibrillation (AF) may underline the etiology of a prothrombotic state in these conditions. Increased mean platelet volume (MPV) is a marker of abnormal platelet ...
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 ...
Determinants of coronary collateral circulation in patients with coronary artery disease
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2013)
Objective: This study aims to identify possible determinants of coronary collaterals in patients with severe coronary artery disease. Methods: The current study has a retrospective cohort design. Seventy four patients with ...
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 ...
Postperfusion Syndrome in Cadaveric Liver Transplantations
(AVES, 2016)
Objective: To evaluate the factors that affects the postperfusion syndrome in cadaveric liver transplantations and the effect of the postperfusion syndrome on discharge from the hospital. Methods: Patients who underwent ...
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 ...
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. ...
