Effect of Levosimendan in Patients with Severe Systolic Heart Failure and Worsening Renal Function

Zorlu, Ali; Yucel, Hasan; Yontar, Osman Can; Karahan, Oguz; Tandogan, Izzet; Katrancioglu, Nurkay; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2012)

Background: Levosimendan, a calcium sensitizer, increases the sensitivity of the heart to calcium, thus increasing myocardial contractility without a rise in intracellular calcium. It was recently shown that levosimendan ...

Influence of influenza vaccination on recurrent hospitalization in patients with heart failure

Kaya, H.; Beton, O.; Acar, G.; Temizhan, A.; Cavusoglu, Y.; Guray, U.; Zoghi, M.; Ural, D.; Ekmekci, A.; Gungor, H.; Sari, I.; Oguz, D.; Yucel, H.; Zorlu, A.; Yilmaz, M. B. (URBAN & VOGEL, 2017)

The current study aimed to evaluate the influence of regular annual influenza vaccinations on cardiovascular (CV) death and heart failure-related hospitalizations (HFrH) in stable outpatients with heart failure with reduced ...

Comparison of Ultrafiltration and Intravenous Diuretic Therapies in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Decompensated Biventricular Heart Failure

Seker, Ayse; Kayatas, Mansur; Huzmeli, Can; Candan, Ferhan; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TURK NEFROLOJI DIYALIZ TRANSPLANTASYON DERGISI, 2016)

OBJECTIVE: Studies comparing ultrafiltration and diuretics in management of ADHF have shown controversial results. In this study, we compared the efficacy and safety of intravenous diuretic therapy and ultrafiltration in ...

Mean Platelet Volume as a Predictor of Heart Failure-Related Hospitalizations in Stable Heart Failure Outpatients with Sinus Rhythm

Kaya, Hakki; Yildinmh, Mustafa Kutay; Kurt, Recep; Beton, Osman; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TAIWAN SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)

Background: In this study, we investigated the relationship between the mean platelet volume (MPV) with mortality and heart failure (HF)-related hospitalization in stable chronic HF outpatients with reduced ejection fraction ...

Right Ventricular Dysfunction Complicates Time in Therapeutic Range in Heart Failure Patients Receiving Warfarin

Beton, Osman; Asarcikli, Lale Dinc; Sen, Taner; Ipek, Esra Gucuk; Kafes, Habibe; Yaman, Mehmet; Efe, Tolga Han; Kaya, Hakki; Temizhan, Ahmet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (KARGER, 2017)

Aim: We aimed to evaluate the effect of echocardiographically demonstrated right ventricular dysfunction (RVD) on time in therapeutic range (TTR) in heart failure (HF) patients receiving warfarin therapy. Methods:A total ...

Cancer antigen 125 levels and increased risk of new-onset atrial fibrillation

Yucel, H.; Kaya, H.; Zorlu, A.; Yildirimli, K.; Sancakdar, E.; Gunes, H.; Kurt, R.; Ozgul, U.; Turgut, O. O.; Yilmaz, M. B. (URBAN & VOGEL, 2015)

Elevated cancer antigen 125 (CA-125) levels are associated with cardiopulmonary disorders such as acute and chronic heart failure (HF), coronary artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, and atrial fibrillation ...

Lymphocytopenia is associated with poor NYHA functional class in chronic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction

Yucel, Hasan; Ege, Meltem Refiker; Zorlu, Ali; Kaya, Hakki; Beton, Osman; Gungor, Hasan; Acar, Gurkan; Temizhan, Ahmet; Cavusoglu, Yuksel; Zoghi, Mehdi; Eren, Mehmet; Ural, Dilek; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)

Objective: In heart failure (HF) patients, functional capacity has been demonstrated to be a marker of poor prognosis, independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). Lymphocyte count is currently recognized in ...

The relationship between D-dimer level and the development of atrial fibrillation in patients with systolic heart failure

Zorlu, Ali; Akkaya, Emre; Altay, Hakan; Bektasoglu, Gokhan; Turkdogan, Kenan Ahmet; Sincer, Isa; Vuruskan, Ertan; Cinar, Ziynet; Tandogan, Izzet; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan (SPRINGER, 2012)

Heart failure (HF) is one of the most common and leading cause of death worldwide. Clinical trials provide evidence that the development of atrial fibrillation (AF) is a marker of poor prognosis in patients with HF. ...

Increased d-dimer levels predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with systolic heart failure

Zorlu, Ali; Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Yucel, Hasan; Bektasoglu, Gokhan; Ege, Meltem Refiker; Tandogan, Izzet (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 ...

Contemporary management of acute right ventricular failure: a statement from the Heart Failure Association and the Working Group on Pulmonary Circulation and Right Ventricular Function of the European Society of Cardiology
