Relationship between red cell distribution width and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease
(MOSBY-ELSEVIER, 2012)
BACKGROUND: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a progressively debilitating disease limiting patients' survival. The prognosis of COPD worsens with the addition of right ventricular (RV) failure. Red cell ...
Geodesic pattern of coronary arteries as a predictor for cardiovascular risk: Clinical perspectives
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2010)
Coronary angiography, despite current shortcomings, has been regarded as golden standard for the assessment of coronary arteries. Geodesic pattern of coronary arteries characterized by curvature, torsion and tortuosity ...
Cardiac findings in children with Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever
(INT SCIENTIFIC LITERATURE, INC, 2011)
Background: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever (CCHF) involves the multi-organ systems. The involvement of the heart in adult patients has been described previously. We investigated the electrocardiographic and echocardiographic ...
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 ...
Usefulness of Admission Red Cell Distribution Width as a Predictor of Early Mortality in Patients With Acute Pulmonary Embolism
(EXCERPTA MEDICA INC-ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2012)
Red cell distribution width (RDW) is strongly associated with prognosis in cardiopulmonary disorders such as coronary artery disease, acute myocardial infarction, acute and chronic heart failure, and pulmonary hypertension. ...

The Relationship between Mean Pulmonary Artery Pressure and Quality of Life in Patients with Mitral Stenosis
(KARGER, 2011)
Objectives: We aimed to evaluate echocardiography-guided hemodynamic determinants of quality of life (QoL) via the Medical Outcomes Study Short Form (SF-36) questionnaire in patients with mild to moderate mitral stenosis ...
