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 ...
Evaluation of ghrelin levels and endothelial functions in patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2017)
Background: Ghrelin has recently been reported to have beneficial effects on cardiac contractile functions and coronary blood flow. The main purpose of this study was to investigate the role of ghrelin in the pathogenesis ...
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, ...
Management of an acute ischemic stroke during thrombolytic treatment in a pregnant patient with prosthetic valve thrombosis
(Akademiai Kiado Rt., 2017)
Prosthetic valve thrombosis (PVT) is a life-threatening complication in pregnant women with mechanical prosthetic heart valves. Thrombolytic therapy (TT) has evolved as an effective treatment alternative to surgery, which ...
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 global perspective on mechanical prosthetic heart valve thrombosis: Diagnostic and therapeutic challenges
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2019)
Prosthetic valve thrombosis is one of the major causes of primary valve failure, which can be life-threatening. Multimodality imaging is necessary for determination of leaflet immobilization, cause of underlying pathology ...
Design and rationale for the ASSOS study: appropriateness of aspirin use in medical outpatients a multicenter and observational study
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2018)
Objective: The aim of this study was to describe the current status of aspirin use and the demographic characteristics of patients on aspirin for primary and secondary prevention of cardiovascular diseases. Methods: The ...
Rationale, design, and methodology of the APOLLON trial: a comPrehensive, observational registry of heart failure with mid-range and preserved ejectioN fraction
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2018)
Objective: Although almost half of chronic heart failure (HF) patients have mid-range (HFmrEF) and preserved left-ventricular ejection fraction (HFpEF), no studies have been carried out with these patients in our country. ...
The real-life data of hospitalized patients with heart failure: On behalf of the journey HF-TR study investigators
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2019)
Objective: Acute heart failure (AHF) is a life-threatening clinical syndrome characterized by rapid onset of heart failure (HF) symptoms and signs and requires urgent therapy. The aim of the present study was to evaluate ...
Relation between high serum hepcidin-25 level and subclinical atherosclerosis and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients
(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2018)
Objective: In hemodialysis (HD) patients, cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the major cause of mortality and morbidity. In atherosclerotic diseases, iron gets accumulated in the arterial wall. Hepcidin is an important hormone ...
