Introduction The novel oral anticoagulant agents (NOACs) provide compelling evidence-based advances over warfarin therapy in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF) and have received endorsement from contemporary guidelines. Rivaroxaban, one of these…
Objectives Pulmonary embolism (PE) is an acute emergency with high mortality and morbidity rates. The monocytes / high density lipoprotein (HDL) ratio (MHR), was suggested as a new marker of…
Objectives It has been shown that the platelet / lymphocyte ratio (PLR) has the highest predictive value in predicting death/MI in high risk patients for coronary artery disease, amongst different…
Case Presentation A 61-year-old male, was referred to our clinic for coronary angiography after a non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). The patient had a history of CAD and coronary stenting…
Objectives New oral anticoagulants have been used in non-valvular atrial fibrillation (AF), deep vein thrombosis (DVT), pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) and their prophylaxis. However, their benefits have not been investigated in…
Objective We planned to investigate the relationship of thrombus burden with SYNTAX score in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Material/Methods We retrospectively enrolled 780 patients who underwent PPCI…
Objectives It has been shown that the neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has the highest predictive value in predicting death/MI in high risk patients for coronary artery disease, amongst different…
Background The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between prodromal angina pectoris with neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in patients with ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Methods-Results The study…
Objective Renal dysfunction is associated with higher mortality rate in various cardiovascular events, including acute coronary syndrome. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of renal dysfunction…
Post myocardial ventricular septal defects are rare but highly lethal complications of myocardial infarctions. So they are less common compared to the free wall perforation which reported approximately 1-2% in…
