The relationship between R wave peak time and left ventricular mass index in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis
(Springer, 2019)
Purpose Cardiovascular complications have been reported to be the main cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although left ventricular hypertrophy is the most common clinical presentation of ...
The value of brain natriuretic peptide in the prosthetic valve thrombosis
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2020)
We aimed to investigate how prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) affects brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels and how BNP changes following thrombolytic therapy. The study included 70 consecutive patients with left-sided ...
Normal reference values for mechanical mitral prosthetic valve inner diameters and areas assessed by two-dimensional and real-time three-dimensional transesophageal echocardiography
(Springer, 2021)
It was previously observed that two dimensional (2D) Doppler derived and real-time three-dimensional (RT-3D) directly measured valve areas were smaller than reported manufacturer sizes. It may be helpful to obtain the ...
Echocardiographic predictors of interatrial block in patients with severe chronic kidney disease
(Springer, 2020)
Background Interatrial block (IAB), defined as a conduction delay between the right and left atrium, is manifested on the electrocardiogram as a prolonged P-wave duration. Large number of studies recently have been published ...
The predictive value of CHADS2 score for subclinical cerebral ischemia after carotid artery stenting (from the PREVENT-CAS trial)
(Wiley, 2021)
Abstarct Background Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is being increasingly used as an alternative revascularization procedure to carotid endarterectomy; however, subclinical ischemic cerebral lesions after CAS remain as a ...
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 ...
Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography is essential for left atrial appendage closure
(Wiley, 2021)
To the Editor,We have recently read with great interest the article by Jianget al.1entitled“Left atrial appendage exclusion is effective in re-ducing postoperative stroke after mitral valve replacement.”Weappreciate the ...
A comprehensive review of the diagnosis and management of mitral paravalvular leakage
(Turkish Soc Cardiology, 2020)
Mitral paravalvular leaks (PVLs) commonly occur in patients with prosthetic valves. Paravalvular defects may be clinically inconsequential and may aggravate hemolysis or cause heart failure through regurgitation. Accordingly, ...
Eosinophil percentage as a new prognostic marker in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention
(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, 2019)
Background: In addition to proinflammatory properties, eosinophils can stimulate platelet activation and enhance prothrombotic pathways. In this study, we aimed to investigate the association between the eosinophil percentage ...
Evaluation of the relationship between platelet indices and spontaneous echo contrast in patients with mitral prosthetic heart valves
(2020)
Objective: Spontaneous echo contrast (SEC) is defined as dynamic, smoke-like echoes within the cardiac cavities with a characteristic swirling motion seen on echocardiography. Clinical studies have demonstrated that SEC ...
