Atrial natriuretic peptide predicts impaired atrial remodeling and occurrence of late postoperative atrial fibrillation after surgery for symptomatic aortic stenosis
Yimaz, Mehmet Birhan; Erbay, Ali Riza; Balci, Mustafa; Guray, Yesim; Cihan, Gokhan; Guray, Umit; Kisacik, Halil L.; Korkmaz, Sule (KARGER, 2006)Background. Aortic stenosis (AS) and atrial fibrillation (AF) are commonly encountered in clinical practice. Natriuretic peptides (NP) are endogenous cardiac hormones, which have been shown to increase in patients with ... -

Fate of Internal Mammary Artery Grafted to Left Anterior Descending Artery Is Influenced by Native Vessel Stenosis and Viable Myocardium
Yilmaz, Mehmet B.; Guray, Yesim; Altay, Hakan; Demirkan, Burcu; Caldir, Vedat; Guray, Umit; Biyikoglu, Senay F.; Sasmaz, Hatice; Kisacik, Halil L.; Korkmaz, Sule (SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2009)In this study, factors leading to the failure of internal mammary artery grafting was investigated among patients with coronary bypass. In all, 1323 patients were evaluated. It was found that lower grade diameter stenosis ... -
Fine vs. coarse atrial fibrillation: Which one is more risky?
Yilmaz, Mehmet Birhan; Guray, Yesim; Guray, Umit; Cay, Serkan; Caldir, Vedat; Biyikoglu, Senay Funda; Sasmaz, Hatice; Korkmaz, Sule (KARGER, 2007)Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a frequent arrhythmia, associated with morbidity and mortality. It is identified by two types on surface electrocardiogram as fine and coarse AF. We aimed to search the association ... -
