Diabetic autonomic neuropathy is a possible link between abnormal metabolism in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and risk for atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure (HF). The aim of this…
Patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) are at increased risk of cardiac arrhythmias. The utility of ambulatory (Holter) monitoring in predicting these arrhythmias remains unclear. We sought to evaluate the…
The aim of this study was to describe the clinical impact of management of coarctation of the aorta by transcatheter stent placement in the context of longer term management of…
The prognosis of patients with diastolic heart failure (HF) is as poor as that of patients with systolic HF. Greater chronic kidney disease-associated mortality occurs in patients with left ventricular…
We aimed to determine whether the myocardial extracellular volume (ECV), measured using T1 measurements obtained during cardiac magnetic resonance imaging were increased in patients treated with anthracyclines. We performed cardiac…
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is 1 of the most important healthcare issues and an important cause of healthcare expenditure. AF care requires specific arrhythmologic skills and complex treatment. Therefore, it is…
Recently, coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) was introduced as a tool for the early detection of coronary atherosclerosis. However, a disagreement exists regarding the accuracy of CCTA for the prediction…
The prognostic relevance of direct contrast toxicity in patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary intervention remains unclear, owing to the confounding hemodynamic effect of acute left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)…
The primary aim of the present study was to assess the gray scale intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) findings that might be associated with late drug-eluting stent restenosis. The study included 47…
Percutaneous coronary intervention within bypass grafts accounts for a significant percentage of total interventions. Bypass graft interventions are associated with an increased risk for stent thrombosis (ST), a condition that…
