Impact of valve surgery on serum osteopontin levels in patients with mitral regurgitation
(Karger, 2015)
Objective: Osteopontin (OPN), a sialoprotein present within atherosclerotic lesions, especially in calcified plaques, is linked to the progression of coronary artery disease and heart failure. We assessed the impact of ...
Evaluation of adiponectin and lipoprotein(a) levels in cardiac syndrome x
(Urban & Vogel, 2015)
Aims. Low adiponectin and high lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] levels are associated with endothelial dysfunction, atherosclerosis, and coronary artery disease. Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is characterized by anginal symptoms, positive ...
Effect of pulmonary vein anatomy and pulmonary vein diameters on outcome of cryoballoon catheter ablation for atrial fibrillation
(Wiley, 2015)
BackgroundIn this study, we aimed to determine pulmonary vein (PV) variation patterns in patients undergoing cryoballoon ablation for atrial fibrillation (AF) and their impacts on procedural success and recurrence and also ...
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 ...
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 ...
Impact of intracoronary adenosine on myonecrosis in patients with unstable angina pectoris undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
(Springer, 2015)
Background In this study, we aimed to investigate the impact of prophylactic intracoronary adenosine administered during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) due to unstable angina pectoris on myonecrosis by measuring ...
Evaluation of adult versus pediatric transesophageal echocardiography probe efficiency for guiding septal puncture during atrial fibrillation ablation
(Blackwell Publishing, 2015)
PurposeTransesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has a pivotal role in invasive cardiology practice in terms of guiding a variety of procedures. It is challenging to perform TEE examination with sedated patients due to ...
A novel predictor of radial spasm: Arterial stiffness
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2018)
ObjectiveIn this study, we aimed to assess the relationship between radial artery spasm (RAS) and arterial stiffness (AS) measured by the oscillometric method.Materials and methodsA total of 123 consecutive patients scheduled ...
Native electrocardiographic qrs duration after cardiac resynchronization therapy: The impact on clinical outcomes and prognosis
(Churchill Livingstone Inc Medical Publishers, 2016)
Background: We investigated whether reversed electrical remodeling (RER), defined as narrowing of the native electrocardiographic QRS duration after cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), might predict prognosis and ...
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, ...
