In vivo and in vitro evidence for pleiotropic effects of levosimendan in the intensive care setting
(BIOMED CENTRAL LTD, 2011)
Levosimendan, in addition to its inotropic properties, could have anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidative properties, and can potentially decrease the deleterious effects of reactive oxygen species on the tissues. In their ...
Efficacy of levosimendan in patients with chronic heart failure: Does rhythm matter?
(AVES YAYINCILIK, 2010)
Objective: Leyosimendan is a relatively new inotropic agent. Unlike other inotropic agents, Levosimendan does not increase cellular calcium intake, so that, does not cause intracellular calcium overload and related ...
Acute Effects of Levosimendan and Dobutamine on QRS Duration in Patients with Heart Failure
(ARQUIVOS BRASILEIROS CARDIOLOGIA, 2010)
Background: Levosimendan is a novel inotropic agent that enhances cardiac contractility without increasing cellular calcium intake, so that it is not supposed to cause intracellular calcium overload and related arrhythmias. ...
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)
…
Prediction of fractional flow reserve with angiographic DILEMMA score
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2017)
Objective: Angiographic assessment of stenosis has limited predictive value for functionally significant lesions compared with fractional flow reserve (FFR). The recently developed angiographic DILEMMA score, which consists ...
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 ...
Acute and long-term follow-up results of percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty: a single-center study
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2011)
Objective: Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) is the method of choice in treatment of patients with hemodynamically significant mitral stenosis. We aimed to analyze acute and long-term clinical and echocardiographic ...
Practical approaches for the treatment of chronic heart failure: Frequently asked questions, overlooked points and controversial issues in current clinical practice
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)
Heart failure (HF) is a progressive disorder associated with impaired quality of life, high morbidity, mortality and frequent hospitalization and affects millions of people from all around the world. Despite further ...
