Objective Early diagnosis and identification of high risk non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is an important issue. Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complexes are defined as various RSR’ patterns on 12-leads resting…
Objective In patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome (NSTE-ACS), identification of patients with high risk coronary anatomy (HRCA) who most likely to require CABG is crucial. The SYNTAX score…
Objective Fragmented QRS (fQRS) complex includes various RSR’ patterns with different QRS complex morphologies on electrocardiograms. The aim of this study was to evaluate relation between left ventricular myocardial performance…
Background The blowout of electrical forces through the myocardial wall is distorted, if the myocardial damage occurs. The QRS/T angle characterizes the balanced regulation of electric activation. Wider QRS/T angle…
Objectives Factor XIII is a important key regulator of fibrinolysis and haemostasis. Factor XIII Valine34Leucine (Val34Leu) gene polymorphism has been associated with accelerated fibrin stabilization and increasing resistance to fibrinolysis….
Objectives Red cell distribution width (RDW) as an indicator of the variability in the circulating erythrocyte sizes was linked to chronic inflammatory state. The association of rheumatic heart valve stenosis…
Objective The purpose of this study was to reveal independent predictors of unfavorable course of active native valve infective endocarditis (ANVIE) and to determine impact of the surgery and its…
Subject The measurement of malcoaptation Surface Area assessed by trans-esophageal echocardiography has been introduced to differentiate severity of Aortic regurgitation(AR), but its value has not been accurately determined. The present…
Objective The role of systemic and chronic inflammatory processes in the pathophysiology of rheumatic heart valve disease is well-known. Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) was shown to be an indicator…
Objective Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects 2-4% of the general population and remains one of the most frequent indications for valvular surgery. Previous familial and pathophysiological studies suggest a complex…
