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 ...
Elevated gamma glutamyl transferase levels are associated with the location of acute pulmonary embolism. Cross-sectional evaluation in hospital setting
(ASSOCIACAO PAULISTA MEDICINA, 2015)
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The location of embolism is associated with clinical findings and disease severity in cases of acute pulmonary embolism. The level of gamma-glutamyl transferase increases under oxidative stress-related ...
Cancer Antigen 125 is Associated with Length of Stay in Patients with Acute Heart Failure
(TEXAS HEART INST, 2017)
Length of stay is the primary driver of heart-failure hospitalization costs. Because cancer antigen 125 has been associated with poor morbidity and mortality rates in heart failure, we investigated the relationship between ...

What Is the Meaning of Increased Myocardial Injury Enzymes during Hemodialysis? A Tissue Doppler Imaging Study
(KARGER, 2013)
Background: Cardiovascular death is decreasing in the general population; however, it appears in still higher rates and even increases gradually in hemodialysis (HD) patients. This situation has led to a debate about ...
Aortic Intracardiac Echocardiography Guided Septal Puncture During Mitral Valvuloplasty
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2013)

Carotid intima-media thickness, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and hemoglobin A1c are independently associated with the severity of psoriasis
(ELSEVIER TAIWAN, 2016)
Background: Systemic inflammation plays an important role in the pathogenesis of atherosclerosis in psoriasis patients. Carotid artery intima-media thickness (CIMT) and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) are accepted ...
Usefulness of parathyroid hormone as a predictor of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2012)
Objective: To investigate the relation between parathyroid hormone (PTH) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HF-PEF) in outpatients. Methods: One hundred consecutive patients who had preserved left ventricular ...
Sonographic Evaluation for Predicting the Presence and Severity of Coronary Artery Disease
(LIPPINCOTT WILLIAMS & WILKINS, 2013)
Purpose: The aim of our study was to investigate the relationship between age, sex, obesity, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and both the presence and severity of coronary ...
Prognostic role of soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 on cardiovascular mortality in outpatients with heart failure
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)
Objective: Soluble suppression of tumorigenicity-2 (sST2), a member of the interleukin 1 receptor family, is increased in mechanical stress conditions and is produced by cardiomyocytes and cardiac fibroblasts. Elevated ...
