Introduction Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used to accurately identify and quantify ventricular myocardial fibrosis. Intramyocardial and/or subepicardial LGE, unrelated to the distribution of…
Background Right ventricular (RV) dilatation and dysfunction due to pulmonary regurgitation after surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (ToF), results in abnormal left ventricular (LV) myocardial mechanics because of ventricular…
Objective The majority of risk factors for coronary artery disease (CAD) are also encountered in patients with erectile dysfunction (ED). We aimed to investigate a possible association between left ventricular…
Aim Coronary artery anomalies (CAA) are uncommon with a prevalence ranging from 0.17% to 1.2% of patients undergoing coronary angiography. In this study, we aimed to investigate the prevalence of…
Objectives Since Levodopa was identified as an efficient therapeutic option in Parkinson Disease (PD), great success has been achieved in the course and treatment of the disease. However, L-dopa-related side…
Aim Nasal septum deviation (NSD) can cause obstruction of the upper airway, which may lead to increased pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and right ventricle dysfunction. The aim of the present…
Introduction Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disesae of pregnancy, which is estimated to complicate 2%-8% of pregnancies and remains a main cause of maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality. Although the…
Objecive Speckle-tracking echocardiography (STE) is a method which can be used in the evaluation of the left atrium (LA). The relationship with LA deformation in patients who have been previously…
Purpose Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is one of the major complications of obstructive sleep apnea syndrome (OSAS). Pulmonary arterial stiffness (PAS) can be used in determination of PH. The aim of…
Objective Alcohol septal ablation (ASA) has been shown to be an effective treatment in patients with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) who are refractory to medical treatment. We describe an alternative…
