Ischemia-modified albumin levels in patients with acute decompensated heart failure treated with dobutamine or levosimendan: IMA-HF study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)
Objective: Ischemia-modified albumin (IMA) is a sensitive biomarker of myocardial ischemia. However, data on IMA levels in acute heart failure (HF) are still lacking. In this study, we aimed to evaluate serum IMA levels ...
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 ...
Electrical Injury-Induced Complete Atrioventricular Block: Is Permanent Pacemaker Required?
(HINDAWI LTD, 2015)
A considerable percentage of electrical injuries occur as a result of work activities. Electrical injury can lead to various cardiovascular disorders: acute myocardial necrosis, myocardial ischemia, heart failure, arrhythmias, ...
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 ...
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 ...
Effect of precipitating factors of acute heart failure on readmission and long-term mortality
(WILEY PERIODICALS, INC, 2016)
AimsAcute heart failure (AHF) is one of the leading causes of unscheduled hospitalization and is associated with frequent readmissions and substantial mortality. Precipitating factors of AHF influence short-term mortality, ...
Association Between ApoE4 Allele and Deep Venous Thrombosis: A Pilot Study
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2011)
Materials and Methods: We aimed to search the relative frequencies ApoE alleles among patients with DVT and healthy participants. We enrolled 59 consecutive patients with DVT and 59 age- and sex-matched healthy controls. ...
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 ...
