Objectives We aimed to evaluate the correlation between the pre-procedural serum lipid levels and the extent of periprocedural myocardial injury (PMI) in patients undergoing elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Background…
Objective It has been aimed to investigate the Galectin-3 (GAL-3) levels and clinical responses after addition of spironolactone as a mineralocorticoid receptor antagonist (MRA) to the current treatment in patients…
Objective Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) as a clinical syndrome represents a major public health problem in industrialized countries due to increasing costs and limited resources. Recurrent unplanned hospitalizations (hosps) are…
Purpose There is only limited data on long-term results for the patients with non-ST-elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS) in Turkey. In the present study, we analyzed one-year follow-up results of…
Introduction Improved neurological outcomes have been reported after therapeutic hypothermia for comatose survivors of cardiac arrest. Therefore therapeutic hypothermia is indicated as soon as possible after resuscitation of cardiac arrest…
Objectives Fragmented QRS(fQRS), defined as additional spikes within the QRS complex, has been proven as an indicator of worse outcomes in a variety of cardiovascular disorders. However, the importance of…
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 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 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…
