(EKIN TIBBI YAYINCILIK LTD STI-EKIN MEDICAL PUBL, 2011)
Background: The aim of the study was to reveal the effect of the C3435T MDR-1 gene polymorphism in AAA, which has been postulated to play a role in the inflammatory process and protection against oxidative stress. Methods: ...
Long-Term Follow-Up of Iatrogenic Atrial Septal Defect after Percutaneous Mitral Balloon Valvuloplasty
(TEXAS HEART INST, 2011)
During percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty, the Inoue method leaves patients with an iatrogenic atrial septal defect. In this study, we evaluated the factors affecting the development of iatrogenic atrial septal ...
Central Diastolic Blood Pressure Is Associated With the Degree of Coronary Collateral Development
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2013)
Coronary collaterals (CCs) serve as alternative conduits for blood flow in obstructive coronary artery disease. We investigated the association of various components of blood pressure (BP) parameters with the the degree ...
Plasma CA-125 level is related to both sides of the heart: A retrospective analysis
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2011)
Objective: CA-125 is an old marker, recently shown to be associated with systolic heart failure. We aimed to search for factors influencing its plasma level. Design: 430 patients with one available CA-125 level were ...
Does electrocardiography at admission predict outcome in Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever?
(MALARIA RESEARCH CENTRE, INDIAN COUNCIL MEDICAL RESEARCH-ICMR, 2011)
Background & objectives: Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever is an acute viral hemorrhagic fever with considerable mortality. Despite increasing knowledge about hemorrhagic fever viruses, the pathogenesis of Crimean-Congo ...

(HELLENIC SOC NUCLEAR MEDICINE, 2016)
Objective: The clinical significance of unligated major left internal mammary artery (LIMA)-side branches (SB) remains controversial in patients with previous coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. The aim of this ...
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 ...
Future of advanced heart failure and mechanical support devices: A Cardiology-Cardiovascular Surgery Consensus Report
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Heart failure is a progressive disease. A considerable number of patients eventually reach an advanced or terminal phase, in spite of developments in diagnostic procedure, alternative treatments that can slow progression, ...
