Objectives: Patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are known to be at increased cardiovascular risk. Etanercept is a tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-alpha) blocking agent that has been successfully used in the treatment ...
Effect of Blood Donation Mediated Volume Reduction on Right Ventricular Function Parameters in Healthy Subjects
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2012)
Purpose: We aimed to investigate the effect of controlled and limited volume change by the blood donation model to the right ventricular (RV) function via different echocardiographic parameters in healthy adults. Methods: ...
Red cell distribution width and hypertensive response to exercise in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2014)
Objective: There is no study about hypertensive response to exercise (HRE), which is a marker of unborn hypertension (HT), and red cell distribution width (RDW) association, in diabetic normotensive patients. So, we aimed ...
Acute Effects of Passive Smoking on Endothelial Function
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2011)
Impairment of endothelial functions has been shown to occur after acute and chronic exposure to passive smoking (PS), as assessed by flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) of the brachial artery. A total of 61 participants, 30 ...
Is Atrial Electromechanical Coupling Delayed in Patients with Secundum Atrial Septal Defect?
(WILEY-BLACKWELL, 2013)
Background: There is no available published information about the atrial electromechanical coupling time (AEMCT) in patients with atrial septal defect (ASD). The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between ...
