Echocardiographic assessment of right ventricular functions in nondiabetic normotensive hemodialysis patients
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2015)
Purpose: Heart is affected structurally and functionally in end-stage renal disease (ESRD). However, the data available about adverse effects of ESRD on right ventricle (RV) is scarce. We aimed to evaluate echocardiographic ...
A rare complication of percutaneous coronary intervention: Coronary pseudoaneurysm formation
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2017)
Coronary pseudoaneurysms (CPAs) are rare complications developed after percutaneous coronary interventions. They may cause stent thrombosis, distal embolization, and coronary rupture leading to cardiac tamponade. Therefore, ...
An unusual coronary pseudo-obstruction image due to competitive blood flow between critical stenosis in proximal LAD and collateral vessels from RCA
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2015)
This case illustrates an unusual coronary pseudo-obstruction due to competitive coronary flows from critical proximal left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery stenosis and collateral vessels from distal right coronary ...
A rare cause of dysphagia and weight loss in a nonagenarian with hypertension: Dysphagia aortica
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2015)
To the Editor: Dysphagia is a subjective awareness of difficulty in swallowing caused by impaired progression of food from the oropharynx to the stomach. An unusual mechanical cause of dysphagia occurs from extrinsic ...
Evaluation of potential long-term changes in endothelial functions and basic echocardiographic parameters in unilateral nephrectomy patients
(Blackwell Publishing Inc., 2017)
Aim: Decreased nephron count may result in lower glomerular filtration rate (GFR) and cardiorenal injury in the absence of compensatory hyperfunction. In this study, we aimed to evaluate long-term effects of 50% nephron ...
Acute myocardial infarction and concomitant ischemic stroke as an unusual presentation of native mitral valve endocarditis
(Akadémiai Kiadó Zrt., 2018)
ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) due to septic coronary embolism is a rare complication of infective endocarditis (IE) and isassociated with high mortality rates. When common signs of IE are often overlooked on ...
Investigation of mindin levels in hypertensive patients with left ventricular hypertrophy and QRS fragmentation on electrocardiography
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2018)
Purpose: Mindin was associated with diabetic nephropathy, podocyte injury, colitis, allergic asthma, liver ischaemia and reperpusion injury and ischaemic brain injury. On the other hand, it was reported as a protective ...
Multimodality diagnostic imaging of a giant coronary artery aneurysm
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2015)
A 78-year-old woman with a history of hypertension and end-stage renal disease was admitted to our hospital for routine control.
Assessment of long-term cardiovascular effects of unilateral nephrectomy
(Springer Netherlands, 2017)
Purpose: There is conflicting evidence regarding long-term effects of unilateral nephrectomy such as cardiovascular diseases. Excessive increase in blood pressure (BP) during exercise called “hypertensive response to ...
Dunbar syndrome as an unusual cause of exercise-induced retrosternal pain
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2015)
The median arcuate ligament is a fibrous band connecting the left and right diaphragmatic crura across the aortic hiatus at the level of the T12/L1 vertebral bodies. The low insertion point of this ligament causes significant ...
