Comparison of Ultrafiltration and Intravenous Diuretic Therapies in Patients Hospitalized for Acute Decompensated Biventricular Heart Failure
(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 ...
Cost of heart failure management in Turkey: results of a Delphi Panel
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Objective: To analyze health-related cost of heart failure (HF) and to evaluate health-related source utilization aiming to provide data on the economic burden of HF in actual clinical practice in Turkey. Methods: The study ...
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 ...
The value of exercise SPET for the detection of coronary artery steal syndrome secondary to unligated major side branch of left internal mammary artery
(HELLENIC SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2016)
Objective: The clinical significance of unligated major left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-side branches (SB) remains controversial in patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The aim of this ...
Higher cancer antigen 125 level is associated with the presence of permanent atrial fibrillation in systolic heart failure patients
(ACTA CARDIOLOGICA, 2016)
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in heart failure (HF). Recent studies have shown that serum cancer antigen-125 (CA-125) levels are elevated in HF, and high levels of CA-125 in HF patients with ...
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, ...
Future of advanced heart failure and mechanical support devices: A Cardiology-Cardiovascular Surgery Consensus Report
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Heart failure is a progressive disease. A considerable number of patients eventually reach an advanced or terminal phase, in spite of developments in diagnostic procedure, alternative treatments that can slow progression, ...
Frequency of genetic polymorphism for adrenergic receptor beta and cytochrome p450 2D6 enzyme, and effects on tolerability of beta-blocker therapy in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction patients: The Beta GenTURK study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Objective: The present objective was to determine frequency of Arginine389Glycine (Arg389Gly) and Cytochrome p450 2D6*10 (Cyp2D6*10) polymorphism in cases of heart failure-reduced ejection fraction (HFREF), and to evaluate ...
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 ...
