Microalbuminuria is Associated With the Severity of Coronary Artery Disease Independently of Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2012)
The potential early predictive value of microalbuminuria (MA) in the estimation of atherosclerosis and the relation between the degree of urinary albumin excretion and the extent of coronary artery disease (CAD) were ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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 ...
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. ...
Relationship between functional capacity and socioeconomic status in a cohort of Turkish heart failure patients
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Objective: New York Heart Association (NYHA) classification predicts prognosis for heart failure (HF) patients. Socioeconomic status (SES) has the potential to affect treatment strategy and disease course. The present ...
Lymphocytopenia is associated with poor NYHA functional class in chronic heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2015)
Objective: In heart failure (HF) patients, functional capacity has been demonstrated to be a marker of poor prognosis, independent of left ventricular ejection fraction (EF). Lymphocyte count is currently recognized in ...
