Elevated mean pulmonary artery pressure in patients with mild-to-moderate mitral stenosis: a useful predictor of worsening renal functions?
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2013)
Objective: Renal dysfunction commonly accompanies the course of cardiac disorders and strongly associates with increased morbidity and mortality. Elevated central venous pressure is related to worsening renal function in ...
Increased gamma-glutamyl transferase levels predict early mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism
(W B SAUNDERS CO-ELSEVIER INC, 2012)
Background: Increased gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) level is associated with increased oxidative stress, all-cause mortality, the development of cardiovascular disease, and metabolic syndrome. However, its role in acute ...

The relationship between D-dimer level and the development of atrial fibrillation in patients with systolic heart failure
(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. ...
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 ...
Influence of preoperative coronary collateral circulation on in-hospital mortality in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery with intra-aortic balloon pump support
(CHINESE MEDICAL ASSOC, 2014)
Background Outcomes in patients requiring coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery have been improved with devices such as the intra-aortic balloon pump (IABP). Good coronary collateral circulation (CCC) has been shown ...
Familial genetic risk factors in premature cardiovascular disease: a family study
(SPRINGER, 2012)
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is closely associated with familial predisposition. The aim of the present study was to investigate predisposing risk factors in the family of a young patient who underwent coronary artery ...
Association between multidrug resistance-1 C3435T gene polymorphism and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: cross-sectional study
(ASSOCIACAO PAULISTA MEDICINA, 2018)
BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may develop over the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality Polymorphism of the multidrug resistance-1 ...
Increased d-dimer levels predict cardiovascular mortality in patients with systolic heart failure
(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 ...
