Correlation of right ventricular dysfunction on acute pulmonary embolism with pulmonary artery computed tomography obstruction index ratio (PACTOIR) and comparison with echocardiography
(SPRINGER, 2015)
The aim of this study was to determine the pulmonary artery computed tomography obstruction index ratio (PACTOIR) in patients who have been diagnosed with acute pulmonary embolism (APE) with multi-slice computed tomography ...
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 ...
What have we learned from Turkish familial hypercholesterolemia registries (A-HIT1 and A-HIT2)?
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2018)
Background and aims: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a common genetic disease of high-level cholesterol leading to premature atherosclerosis. One of the key aspects to overcome FH burden is the generation of largescale ...
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 ...
Atypical antipsychotic use is an independent predictor for the increased mean platelet volume in patients with schizophrenia: A preliminary study
(ISFAHAN UNIV MED SCIENCES, 2013)
Background: Cardiovascular diseases, cardiovascular risk factors, and mortality due to these situations are more frequently encountered in schizophrenic patients when compared with the general population. The mean platelet ...
Echocardiographic Epicardial Adipose Tissue Predicts Subclinical Atherosclerosis: Epicardial adipose tissue and Atherosclerosis
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2012)
We examined the relationship between coronary flow rate and epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) in patients with slow coronary flow (SCF) and normal coronary arteries. The study included 40 consecutive patients with stable ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
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
(WILEY, 2016)
Acute right ventricular (RV) failure is a complex clinical syndrome that results from many causes. Research efforts have disproportionately focused on the failing left ventricle, but recently the need has been recognized ...
