Effect of human gestational diabetes mellitus on arterial stiffness
(Acta Endocrinologica Foundation, 2014)Background. The present study aims to evaluate the parameters for aortic stiffness by comparing gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) with a healthy control group via transthoracic echocardiography. Methods. This was a ... -
Increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness is associated with angiographic thrombus burden in the patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
(SAGE Publications Inc., 2015)We aimed to evaluate the relation among epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) thickness, angiographic presence of thrombus, and the no-reflow in the patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction undergoing primary ... -
The importance of speckle tracking echocardiography in the early detection of left ventricular dysfunction in patients with polycystic ovary syndrome
(Association of Basic Medical Sciences Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina, 2015)Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by hormonal and metabolic abnormalities and is thought to increase a risk for cardiovascular diseases. In this study we use speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) to ... -
The changes of mean platelet volume and platelet distribution width in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and their correlation with disease activity
(Editore Carbone, 2015)Aims: The link between inflammation and platelet activation was already proven. Only a few studies have been reported using platelet indices (platelet count (PC), mean platelet volume (MPV) and platelet distribution width ... -
Electrophysiological and clinical evaluation of the effects of transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation on the spasticity in the hemiplegic stroke patients
(Society of Physical Therapy Science (Rigaku Ryoho Kagakugakkai), 2015)[Purpose] To investigate whether transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation (TENS) mitigates the spasticity of hemiplegic stroke patients, as assessed by electrophysiological variables, and the effects, if any, on the ... -
Ventricular fibrillation development following atrial fibrillation after the ingestion of sildenaphil in a patient with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome
(International Advancement Center for Medicine and Health Research, 2015)Complications in the accessory pathway in Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome could cause different clinical conditions by inducing different arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of these arrhythmias and is important ... -
Neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predicts coronary artery lesion complexity and mortality after non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndrome
(Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia, 2015)Objective Inflammatory mechanisms are known to play an important role in coronary artery disease. The present study aimed to investigate the importance of the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in terms of in-hospital ... -
The effects of successful percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty on acute and intermediate term aortic stiffness
(Blackwell Publishing, 2015)Aim The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) on short- and intermediate-term aortic stiffness in patients with mitral stenosis. Materials and Methods This ... -
Ivabradine on aortic stiffness in patients with heart failure
(Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2015)Aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of ivabradine treatment on aortic stiffness by measuring aortic elastic parameters in patients with heart failure (HF) receiving ivabradine treatment. Materials and ... -
Exercise-induced repolarization changes in patients with isolated myocardial bridging
(International Scientific Literature, 2015)Background: Although myocardial bridging (MB) is defined as an angiographic phenomenon with a benign course, it has also been associated with adverse cardiovascular events. The effects of exercise on myocardial repolarization ... -
