Increased Epicardial Adipose Tissue is Associated with the Extent of Aortic Dissection
(Digital Commons Bepress, 2020)
Background: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a biologically active organ that has endocrine and paracrine functions. Endothelial dysfunction, systemic, and local inflammatory response, due to bio-active molecules produced ...
Increased epicardial fat tissue thickness predicts advanced interatrial block among hypertensive patients
(Churchill Livingstone Inc Medical Publishers, 2020)
Background: Recent studies demonstrated that epicardial fat tissue (EFT) was associated with prevalent AF and recurrences following the catheter ablation. We evaluated the value of EFT for the prediction of advanced ...
A New Scoring System Detecting the Supraventricular Tachycardia Inducibility and Radiofrequency Ablation With High Specificity in Electrophysiological Study
(Digital Commons Bepress, 2020)
Aim: the relationship between arrhythmia induction and ablation with palpitation characteristics has been demonstrated in electrophysiological study (EPS) patients. However, there is insufficient data on palpitation ...
Preoperative blood urea nitrogen-to-left ventricular ejection fraction ratio is an independent predictor of long-term major adverse cardiac events in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery
(Digital Commons Bepress, 2020)
Background: Long-term mortality rate following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) procedure is still considered to be high despite advances in surgical techniques and perioperative management. Identifying high-risk ...
Elevated serum YKL40 level is a predictor of MACE during the long-term follow up in hypertensive patients
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2020)
Background: YKL-40 (human cartilage glycoprotein 39, chitinase-3-like protein 1) is an inflammatory marker secreted mainly by macrophages and has distinctive roles on extracellular matrix remodeling, macrophage maturation, ...
Epicardial adipose tissue predicted prolonged QTc interval in patients with arterial hypertension
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2020)
Introduction: It is important to identify those at higher risk for ventricular arrhythmia among hypertensive patients. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) leads to electromechanical changes in the heart by endocrine and paracrine ...
An echocardiographic predictor of contrast-induced nephropathy following percutaneous coronary intervention in acute coronary syndrome: aortic valve sclerosis
(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020)
Objective. Aortic valve sclerosis (AVS) is closely related to endothelial dysfunction. the association of AVS with contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is unknown. We planned to investigate the relationship of AVS besides ...
Prolonged QRS independently predicts long-term all-cause mortality in patients with narrow QRS complex undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (9-year follow-up results)
(Termedia Publishing House Ltd, 2020)
Aim: We investigated the association of intermediate QRS prolongation with the long-term all-cause mortality in coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) surgery patients with a narrow QRS complex in the preoperative ...
Endothelial dysfunction, subclinical atherosclerosis and LDL cholesterol are the independent predictors of left atrial functions in hypertension
(Springer, 2020)
Left atrial function has an important role in determining optimal performance of the heart. Increase of left atrial dysfunction and volume are poor prognostic factors. in this study, we investigated independent determinants ...
