Evaluation of tumor markers CA-125 and CEA in acute myocardial infarction
(HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC, 2006)
Serum carbohydrate antigen (CA-125) and carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) have always been of clinical importance in the diagnosis and follow-up of various tumors. This study was devised to investigate the relationship between ...
Clinical importance of elevated CK-MB and troponin I levels in congestive heart failure
(HEALTH COMMUNICATIONS INC, 2006)
Myocyte necrosis has been considered to play a fundamental role in the pathophysiology of congestive heart failure (CHF), which has usually evolved as a consequence of depletion of compensatory mechanisms and contractile ...
Sleep quality among relatively younger patients with initial diagnosis of hypertension: Dippers versus non-dippers
(TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2007)
Background. Sleep is a basic physiological process. Normal sleep yields decrease in sympathetic activity, blood pressure ( BP) and heart rate. Those, who do not have expected decrease in their BP are considered "non-dippers''. ...
Left ventricular outflow tract myxoma accompanied by dextrocardia with situs inversus: a case report
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Myxoma is the most frequently encountered primary tumour of the heart, comprising more than 50% of all benign cardiac tumours. The case presented here was diagnosed as having dextrocardia with situs inversus and concomitant ...
Comparative effects of levosimendan and dobutamine on right ventricular function in patients with biventricular heart failure
(SPRINGER, 2009)
Severe heart failure represents a major source of morbidity and mortality. Poor right ventricular function is an independent prognostic marker for mortality in patients with chronic heart failure. In this study, levosimendan ...
Levosimendan improves renal function in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: Comparison with dobutamine
(SPRINGER, 2007)
Background Levosimendan is a relatively new cardiac inotropic agent with calcium sensitizing activity. This study was conducted to investigate the effects of levosimendan (L) and dobutamine (D) on renal function in patients ...
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 ...
