Objectives Hypertension effects on ventricular remodeling and changes ventricular structure. This study was conducted to investigate the association between plasma thiol with left ventricle (LV) geometric patterns and LV diastolic…
Objective Paraoxonase 1, a high-density lipoprotein (HDL) linked enzyme complex, was shown to be decreased in several cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to explore whether serum paraoxonase and arylesterase activities differ…
Background Non-dipper hypertension is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Mean platelet volume( MPV) is accepted as an indicator of platelet activation and higher thrombotic potential. Our purpose is…
Background Elevated blood pressure is associated with an increased cardiovascular risk. QRS-T angle has been defined as the angle between the directions of ventricular depolarization (mean QRS vector) and ventricular…

Objective The heart consists of four chambers. Of these, two of them are named as atriums. These chambers at the heart’s upper floor are separated by a membrane wall. The…
Neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio improves the positive predictive value of dobutamine stress echocardiography. Background Neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has been shown to predict cardiovascular events in several studies. The aim of this…
Objective Diagnosing constrictive pericarditis remains a challenge for many clinicians, and the role of imaging in determining whether constrictive pericarditis is present remains unclear. We aimed to determine the usefulness…
