Development of malignant ventricular arrhythmias in a young male with WPW pattern
Erdem A.; Madak N.; Yilmaz A.; Yontar O.C.; Yucel H.; Gul I.; Tandogan I. (2010)In Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome (WPW), presence of accessory pathways causes various tachyarrhythmias that lead to different symptoms and clinical conditions in patients. Atrial fibrillation is observed in about 20-30% ... -
The effect of smoking on cardiac diastolic parameters including Vp, a more reliable and newer parameter
Yilmaz A.; Yalta K.; Onur Turgut O.; Birhan Yilmaz M.; Erdem A.; Karada F.; Ozyol A.; Tandogan I. (2007)Background: Previous studies have focused mainly on the acute effects of smoking on the diastolic function of the heart. The present study was conducted to demonstrate the chronic effects of smoking on the diastolic ... -
Improvement in Doppler alternans in patients with severe heart failure: Levosimendan versus dobutamin
Yilmaz M.B.; Karadas F.; Erdem A.; Tandogan I. (2008)Mechanical alternans, an ominous sign of terminal systolic heart failure, could be indirectly shown by Doppler analysis. On the other hand, Levosimendan, a novel agent, improves contractility in patients with HF. We searched ... -
Initial syncope associated with alternating attacks of supraventricular tachycardia and atrioventricular block long after surgical correction of tricuspid atresia
Yalta K.; Yontar C.; Karadas F.; Yilmaz M.B.; Turgut O.O.; Yilmaz A.; Erdem A.; Tandogan I. (2008)The Fontan procedure has become a generic term to define a surgical procedure that orients the systemic venous return directly to the pulmonary arteries, and has been used as a palliative operation for pulmonary atresia, ... -
The left anterior descending artery arising from the right sinus of Valsalva: A case report
Yilmaz A.; Yalta K.; Turgut O.O.; Yilmaz M.B.; Karadas F.; Erdem A.; Ozyol A.; Tandogan I. (2007)Coronary artery anomalies occur in less than 1% of patients who undergo coronary angiography and they account for 1% to 2% of all cases of congenital heart disease. The most commonly encountered anomaly, the circumflex ... -
The predictive value of heart rate turbulence for ventricular systolic dysfunction and prognosis in the peri-infarction period
Objectives: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between heart rate turbulence (HRT) and acute left ventricular systolic dysfunction due to ST-segment elevation acute myocardial infarction (STEMI). Study ... -
Relationship between HbA1c and coronary flow rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus and angiographically normal coronary arteries
Yilmaz M.B.; Erdem A.; Yontar O.C.; Sarikaya S.; Yilmaz A.; Madak N.; Karadaş F.; Tandog I. (2010)Objectives: We examined the relationship between glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) level and coronary flow rate in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) and angiographically normal coronary arteries. Study design: The ... -
Triple right coronary artery accompanied by an ectopic circumflex artery arising from right sinus of Valsalva
Yalta K.; Yontar O.C.; Yilmaz M.B.; Erdem A.; Turgut O.O.; Yilmaz A.; Manduz Ş.; Tando?an I. (2010)[No abstract available] -
Ventricular tachycardia caused by a left ventricular aneurysm in a patient with previous surgery for ventricular septal defect [Ventriküler septal defekt cerrahisi geçirmiş bir olguda sol ventrikül anevrizmasina ba?li ventrikül taşikardisi]
Yontar O.C.; Abdel-Wahab A.; Erdem A.; Tando?an I. (2011)Ventricular mural aneurysms especially in the left ventricle represent an increased risk for life-threatening arrhythmias. We present a case of ventricular tachycardia originating from an inferobasal left ventricular ...
