Increased plasminogen Activator Inhibitor-1 levels in patients wıth isolated coronary artery ectasia
(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2013)
Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined as local
or generalized aneurysmal dilatation of the coronary arteries.
Although the etiology of CAE has not been identified completely, the
most frequent cause is ...
The role of urotensin II and atherosclerotic risk factors in patients with slow coronary flow
(Akademiai Kiado Zrt, 2016)
Background: Slow coronary flow (SCF) is an angiographic finding characterized with delayed opacification of epicardial coronary arteries without obstructive coronary disease. Urotensin II (UII) is an important vascular ...
Fragmented QRS predicted major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with coronary artery disease and percutaneous coronary intervention, 10-years of follow-up
(Russian Heart Failure, 2022)
Aim Identifying high-risk groups in patient with coronary artery disease (CAD) is critical for predicting future adverse events. fQRS has been shown to be related to major cardiovascular adverse events (MACE) in patients ...
Epicardial adipose tissue predicts carotid intima-media thickness independently of body mass index and waist circumference
(Taiwan Soc Cardiology, 2019)
Background: Visceral obesity is strongly associated with atherosclerosis. Even though waist circumference (WC) is the most common assessment method of total visceral adipose tissue and cardiometabolic risk, this method ...
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, ...
Primary percutaneous coronary intervention for the treatment of a patient with cardiogenic shock due to acute total occlusion of unprotected left main coronary artery without supportive collateral flow
(2011)
Total occlusion of unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) is rarely encountered in clinical practice and the incidence cannot be determined precisely, since most of the patients die before hospital admission. Malignant ...
Fragmented QRS may predict postoperative atrial fibrillation in patients undergoing isolated coronary artery bypass graft surgery
(2012)
Amaç: Fragmente olmuş QRS kompleksleri (fQRS) bir majör koroner arter bölgesine karşılık gelen 2 ardışık derivasyonda çeşitli RSR' paternleri olarak tanımlanılmaktadır. FQRS ve kardiyak olaylar arasında miyokardiyal ...
The independent relationship between systemic inflammation and fragmented QRS complexes in patients with stable angina pectoris
(Via Medica, 2012)
Background: QRS complex fragmentations can frequently be seen on routine ECG with narrow or wide QRS complex. Fragmented QRS complexes (fQRS) are defined as various RSR' patterns (? 1 R' or notching of S wave or R wave) ...
Relationship of the angiographic extent of peripheral arterial disease with coronary artery involvement
(2012)
To determine the co-incidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients investigated for peripheral arterial disease (PAD), and to establish the relationship between the risk factors in the two groups of patients. The ...
Severity of coronary artery disease and prostate-specific antigen relationship in men
(2012)
Prostate-specific antigen (PSA) is a well-known prostate cancer marker. Recent studies have shown that serum PSA levels can fluctuate in response to cardiovascular stress. In this study we aimed to determine if serum PSA ...
