What have we learned from Turkish familial hypercholesterolemia registries (A-HIT1 and A-HIT2)?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018)
Background and aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common genetic disease of high-level cholesterol leading to premature atherosclerosis. One of the key aspects to overcome FH burden is the generation of largescale ...
Increased d-dimer levels predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with systolic heart failure
(SPRINGER, 2012)
D-dimer is a fibrin degradation product, and is implicated in pathologies of cardiovascular system. Thrombosis within the vascular system in relation with inflammation and stasis might be associated with poor prognosis in ...
Atypical antipsychotic use is an independent predictor for the increased mean platelet volume in patients with schizophrenia: A preliminary study
(ISFAHAN UNIV MED SCIENCES, 2013)
Background: Cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular risk factors, and mortality due to these situations are more frequently encountered in schizophrenic patients when compared with the general population. The mean platelet ...
Relationship between Parathyroid Hormone and Depression in Heart Failure
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)
Background: Depression has been found to be a predictor of rehospitalization and mortality in heart failure (HF). Parathyroid hormone (PTH) is a novel promising biomarker that can predict hospitalization, functional status ...
Echocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue Predicts Subclinical Atherosclerosis: Epicardial adipose tissue and Atherosclerosis
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2012)
We examined the relationship between coronary flow rate and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in patients with slow coronary flow (SCF) and normal coronary arteries. The study included 40 consecutive patients with stable ...
Relationship between red cell distribution width and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressively debilitating disease limiting patients' survival. The prognosis of COPD worsens with the addition of right ventricular (RV) failure. Red cell ...
A Case Report of Delayed Diagnosed Chronic Aortocaval Fistula: A Rare Complication of Penetrating Trauma to the Abdomen
(MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS & MEDIA PVT LTD, 2015)
Chronic aortocaval fistula (ACP) is a rare complication of penetrating trauma to the abdomen. We report a case of traumatic ACP presenting with pulmonary hypertension and right heart failure symptoms 15 years after the ...
Regular blood donation improves endothelial function in adult males
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Objective: Endothelial dysfunction, secondary to systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, is known to play a major role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. It is hypothesized that the lower incidence ...
The practical value of technetium-99m-MIBI SPET to differentiate between ischemic and non-ischemic heart failure presenting with exertional dyspnea
(HELLENIC SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2016)
Objective: We aimed to differentiate ischemic heart failure (HF) from non-ischemic HF in patients presenting with non-acute onset exertional dyspnea using technetium-99m methoxyisobutylisonitrile gated single photon emission ...
Usefulness of Admission Red Cell Distribution Width as a Predictor of Early Mortality in Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC-ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2012)
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is strongly associated with prognosis in cardiopulmonary disorders such as coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, acute and chronic heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension. ...
