Electrical Injury-Induced Complete Atrioventricular Block: Is Permanent Pacemaker Required?
(HINDAWI LTD, 2015)
A considerable percentage of electrical injuries occur as a result of work activities. Electrical injury can lead to various cardiovascular disorders: acute myocardial necrosis, myocardial ischemia, heart failure, arrhythmias, ...
Bleeding complications during cardiac electronic device implantation in patients receiving antithrombotic therapy: is there any value of local tranexamic acid?
(BMC, 2016)
Background: The perioperative use of antithrombotic therapy is associated with increased bleeding risk after cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation. Topical application of tranexamic acid (TXA) is effective ...
Regular blood donation improves endothelial function in adult males
(TURKISH SOC CARDIOLOGY, 2016)
Objective: Endothelial dysfunction, secondary to systemic inflammation and oxidative stress, is known to play a major role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis. It is hypothesized that the lower incidence ...
Elevated gamma glutamyl transferase levels are associated with the location of acute pulmonary embolism. Cross-sectional evaluation in hospital setting
(ASSOCIACAO PAULISTA MEDICINA, 2015)
CONTEXT AND OBJECTIVE: The location of embolism is associated with clinical findings and disease severity in cases of acute pulmonary embolism. The level of gamma-glutamyl transferase increases under oxidative stress-related ...
Cancer Antigen 125 is Associated with Length of Stay in Patients with Acute Heart Failure
(TEXAS HEART INST, 2017)
Length of stay is the primary driver of heart-failure hospitalization costs. Because cancer antigen 125 has been associated with poor morbidity and mortality rates in heart failure, we investigated the relationship between ...
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 ...
Relationship between endothelial dysfunction and microalbuminuria in familial Mediterranean fever
(AVES, 2016)
Objective: The aim of our study is to investigate the relationship between microalbuminuria and flow-mediated dilatation in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients. Material and Methods: In our study, there were two ...
