Objectives Grown up congenital heart diseases (GUCH) are more common in our daily practise lately, as a result of improving surgical techniques and specific treatment agents. Despite all improvements, there…
Objective The aim of this study is to investigate T peak- T end interval (T p-e) on admission ECG proposed as an indicator of transmural myocardial repolarization relationship between morbidity…
Background and Purpose Epicardial adipose tissue secretes various proatherogenic mediators, and accomodates ganglionic plexi which may affect autonomic nervous system function. Epicardial adipose tissue thickness (EATT) is a novel surrogate…
Background Presence of fragmented QRS (fQRS) complex in a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) has been shown to represent alternation of myocardial activation owing to myocardial scar. The aim of this study…
Objective Aortic diseases are an important cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Thoracic aortic aneurysms (TAA) is a potentially life-threatening disorder if not diagnosed before the development of the dissection…
Objective Cigarette smoking increases the risk of cardiovascular events related with several mechanisms. The most suggested mechanism is changed activity of autonomic nervous system. The heart rate recovery index (HRRI)…
Background The advances in the biochemical research for the discovering an ideal biomarker for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction have led to discovery of cardiac troponins as a gold…
Objective Our aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between coronary artery calcific (CAC) score levels and future cardiovascular events which requirement surgery or percutenous coronary interventions in…
