Usefulness of parathyroid hormone as a predictor of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2012)
Objective: To investigate the relation between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF) in outpatients. Methods: One hundred consecutive patients who had preserved left ventricular ...
Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever: does it involve the heart?
(ELSEVIER SCI LTD, 2009)
Objective: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is an acute viral hemorrhagic fever with a high mortality rate. Despite increasing knowledge about viral hemorrhagic fevers, the pathogenesis of CCHF and causes of death ...
Metabolic syndrome increases the risk of significant coronary artery involvement in patients with peripheral artery disease
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2006)
Background Peripheral artery disease is a common condition, mainly associated with clinical cardiovascular risk factors. Patients with peripheral artery disease suffer from coronary artery disease-related complications. ...
Prediction of fractional flow reserve with angiographic DILEMMA score
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)
Objective: Angiographic assessment of stenosis has limited predictive value for functionally significant lesions compared with fractional flow reserve (FFR). The recently developed angiographic DILEMMA score, which consists ...
Prognostic role of soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 on cardiovascular mortality in outpatients with heart failure
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)
Objective: Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2), a member of the interleukin 1 receptor family, is increased in mechanical stress conditions and is produced by cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. Elevated ...
Comparison of myocardial performance index versus ratio of isovolumic contraction time/ejection time in left ventricular systolic dysfunction
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Myocardial performance index (MPI) has been regarded as an important parameter in the evaluation of ventricular systolic function in congestive heart failure. This study was designed to investigate the relationship between ...
Is Preoperative Eosinopenia an Independent Predictor of Early Mortality for Coronary Artery Bypass Surgery?
(FORUM MULTIMEDIA PUBLISHING, LLC, 2016)
Objective: Coronary artery bypass graft surgery in one of the most effective and widely used methods employed in the treatment of ischemic heart disease, but many factors to various degrees are directly associated with ...
Acute and long-term follow-up results of percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty: a single-center study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2011)
Objective: Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is the method of choice in treatment of patients with hemodynamically significant mitral stenosis. We aimed to analyze acute and long-term clinical and echocardiographic ...
Practical approaches for the treatment of chronic heart failure: Frequently asked questions, overlooked points and controversial issues in current clinical practice
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive disorder associated with impaired quality of life, high morbidity, mortality and frequent hospitalization and affects millions of people from all around the world. Despite further ...
Relationship between functional capacity and socioeconomic status in a cohort of Turkish heart failure patients
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Objective: New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification predicts prognosis for heart failure (HF) patients. Socioeconomic status (SES) has the potential to affect treatment strategy and disease course. The present ...
