Effect of QRS narrowing after cardiac resynchronization therapy on functional mitral regurgitation in patients with systolic heart failure
(Elsevier Inc., 2016)
The determinants of improvement in functional mitral regurgitation (FMR) after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) remain unclear. We evaluated the predictors of FMR improvement and hypothesized that CRT-induced change ...
Evans syndrome with non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction complicated by hemopericardium
(Elsevier B.V., 2016)
Evans syndrome (ES) is a rare hematological disease characterized by autoimmune hemolytic anemia, immune thrombocytopenia, and/or neutropenia, all of which may be seen simultaneously or subsequently. Thrombotic events in ...
Ultra-low-dose left ventricular injection-guided computed tomographic angiography prior to transcatheter aortic valve implantation: A novel technique for imaging
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2019)
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has evolved as a novel procedure for the treatment of severe aortic stenosis. Since large-diameter catheters (18-24 F) are required for TAVI procedures, procedural evaluation ...
A totally extruded pacemaker
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2015)
Total extrusion of a pacemaker generator is an extremely rare and potentially fatal complication of pacemaker implantation. An 82-yearold female patient was brought to our out-patient clinic by relatives who had noticed ...
Pocket haematoma after cardiac electronic device implantation in patients receiving antiplatelet and anticoagulant treatment: A single-centre experience
(Taylor and Francis, 2017)
Objective In modern cardiology practice, implantation of cardiac electronic devices in patients taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy is a common clinical scenario. Bleeding complications are of particular concern ...
Myocardial injury biomarkers after radiofrequency catheter and cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation and their impact on recurrence
(Via Medica, 2017)
Background: Myocardial injury induced by catheter ablation (CA) for atrial fibrillation (AF) leads to elevated biomarker levels. Aim: This prospective study examined levels of myocardial injury biomarkers (creatinine kinase ...
Assessment of energy expenditure, physical activity and sleep pattern in patients with frequent symptomatic ventricular ectopic beats
(Masson Editeur, 2016)
Background. Ventricular ectopic beats (VEBs) are considered as benign ventricular arrhythmias in patients without structural heart disease. However, symptomatic frequent VEBs can adversely affect energy metabolism. The ...
Predicting ventricular arrhythmias in cardiac resynchronization therapy: The impact of persistent electrical dyssynchrony
(Wiley, 2016)
BackgroundAlthough response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been conventionally assessed with left ventricular volume reduction, ventricular arrhythmias (ventricular tachycardia/ventricular fibrillation ...
Comparing of efficacy of different self-assessment anxiety scales for predicting radial artery spasm during coronary interventions
(Ortadoğu Reklam Tanıtım Yayıncılık Turizm Eğitim İnşaat Sanayi ve Ticaret A.Ş., 2019)
Objective: Radial artery spasm (RAS), is a major drawback for the routine use of radial access during coronary interventions and anxiety is a well-documented predictor of RAS. In this study, we aimed to assess the relationship ...
Effect of cardiac resynchronization therapy on mitral valve geometry: A novel aspect as "reversed mitral remodeling"
(Springer, 2018)
Amelioration of the valvular geometry is a possible mechanism for mitral regurgitation (MR) improvement in patients receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). We aimed to establish the precise definition, incidence, ...
