Evaluation of Atrial Electromechanical Coupling Times in Hemodialysis Patients
(WILEY, 2014)
BackgroundThere are no definite data about the atrial electromechanical coupling times (AEMCT) in patients with end stage renal failure (ESRF). The aim of this study was to investigate the AEMCT in ESRF patients without ...
A BULLET NUCLEUS MOBILE WITH CARDIAC CYCLE
(NOBEL ILAC, 2012)
We hereby report a case of atypical chest pain after a firearm injury occurring 20 years ago, which remained asymptomatic throughout the years. The patient had a positive treadmill exercise test and his coronary angiographic ...
Catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation results in greater improvement in cardiac function in patients with low versus normal left ventricular ejection fraction
(SPRINGER, 2013)
It is still unknown whether left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) might affect the magnitude of improvement after atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation on cardiac function in persistent or longstanding persistent AF (CAF) ...
Evaluation of Endothelium Functions by Flow-mediated Dilatation in Pediatric Patients With Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2015)
Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a systemic viral disease that also affects the endothelium. Thrombocytopenia and hemorrhage are seen in this disease. But, the cause of thrombocytopenia is not clear. ...
Resting Heart Rate in Children with Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever: A Tool to Identify Patients at Risk?
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2014)
Objective: We aimed to assess the association between resting heart rate (RHR) and severe infection in children with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF). Methods: In all, 121 patients under 18 years of age with a ...
Abnormal Heart Rate Recovery in Stable Heart Failure Patients
(WILEY, 2013)
Background Heart rate decrease after exercise, that is associated with reactivation of parasympathetic system, is important, as it is also associated with mortality. Previous studies have shown that this is an independent ...
Bradycardia Seen In Children With Crimean-Congo Hemorrhagic Fever
(MARY ANN LIEBERT, INC, 2013)
Introduction: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) is a zoonotic viral disease with a high mortality rate. In clinical practice, we observed bradycardia in some pediatric patients with CCHF during the clinical course. ...
The assessment of subsegmental branches of the pulmonary artery by intravascular ultrasound in patients with mitral stenosis
(TERMEDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD, 2012)
Background: There are limited data that examine the assessment of subsegmental branches of the pulmonary artery by intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Aim: To assess the structural characteristics of pulmonary arteries by ...
The relationship between the existence of angiographic coronary artery calcification and the severity of coronary artery disease
(TERMEDIA PUBLISHING HOUSE LTD, 2012)
Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a predictor of coronary artery disease (CAD) and closely related to major adverse cardiac events. The Gensini score is a scoring system to determine the severity and extent ...
Hypertensive response to exercise in dipper and non-dipper normotensive diabetics
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS INC, 2014)
Non-dipper blood pressure (NDP) as an indicator of autonomic dysfunction could be associated with hypertensive response to exercise (HRE) in diabetic patients. HRE was determined as a predictor of development of unborn ...
