Introduction Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality in developed countries. Therefore, we use different risk assessment tools in order to detect the individuals with “high…
Objective High triglyceride (TG) and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) are important cardiovascular risk factors. The exact prognostic value of the TG/HDL-C ratio, a marker for cardiovascular events, is currently…
Objective Although the reports are also present demonstrating the exact opposite, general opinion is that vitamin D has favorable effects on cardiovascular system. The association between vitamin D insufficiency and…
Objective High blood pressure (HBP) is a leading major risk factor for chronic diseases and deaths. The studies revealed that hypertensive patients had inadequate knowledge about hypertension (HT) and the frequency of patients…
Objective Heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFREF) is closely associated with high mortality and morbidity rates. HFREF is frequently associated with renal failure. Oxidative stress and inflammation are two…
Objective Although digoxin improves heart failure symptoms, its potential proarrhythmic effects on ischemic myocardium has been debated. In this cross-sectional study, we investigated the relation between appropriate shocks in patients…
Objective Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is a glycoprotein which is synthesized by serous epithelial cells. It has been shown to be increased in some malignant and non-malignant conditions. Its serum…
Background Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is a glycoprotein marker which is synthesized by epithelial serous cells. It is frequently used in ovarian cancer diagnosis and treatment monitoring. However, it has…
Objective Experimental data demonstrated that inflammatory mediators, such as pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory cytokines and their receptors might have important role in the development and the progression of heart failure (HF)….
Objectives Dilated cardiomyopathy(DCM) is the most important cause of heart transplantation in the paediatric population. We aim to report our single institution outcomes of dilated cardiomyopathy in children, and explore…
