The effect of blood cell count on coronary flow in patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon
(Professional Medical Publications, 2014)
Background and Objective: The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is a coronary artery disease with a benign course, but its pathological mechanisms are not yet fully understood.The purpose of this controlled study was ...
Serum Neutrophil Gelatinase-Associated Lipocalin Levels and Aortic Stiffness in Noncritical Coronary Artery Disease
(Karger, 2014)
Aim: The aim of this study was to establish the degree of aortic stiffness and levels of neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL) in patients with stable ischemic heart disease. Materials and Methods: Patients who ...
The relationship between epicardial fat thickness and gestational diabetes mellitus
(Bmc, 2014)
Aim: Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is associated with cardiovascular diseases; however, the relationship between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and GDM remains unclear. The present study evaluates and compares EFT ...
Evaluation of plasma chemerin levels in patients with non-dipper blood pressure patterns
(Int Scientific Literature, Inc, 2014)
Background: Chemerin is a novel adipokine that plays a role in inflammation and atherosclerosis. Although there are several correlations between hypertension and the inflammatory system, there is still insufficient information ...
Impaired heart rate recovery indices in psoriasis patients
(Int Scientific Information, Inc, 2014)
Background: Psoriasis is a systemic inflammatory disease associated with increased risk of cardiovascular diseases. The heart rate recovery index (HRRI) is an indicator of autonomic nervous system function and is an ...
Association of serum chemerin levels with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with metabolic syndrome
(E-Century Publishing Corp, 2014)
Objectives: The newly identified adipokine chemerin has been shown to be associated with the components of MetS, inflammation and insulin resistance. In this study, the relationship between serum chemerin levels and the ...
Abnormal nail fold capillaroscopic findings in patients with coronary slow flow phenomenon
(E-Century Publishing Corp, 2014)
The coronary slow flow phenomenon (CSFP) is the delayed opacification of coronary arteries in the absence of significant stenosis. The pathogenesis of CSFP has not been completely understood yet. There are several proposed ...
A multicentre, comparative study of Cera septal occluder versus AMPLATZER Septal Occluder in transcatheter closure of secundum atrial septal defects
(Europa Edition, 2014)
Aims: To evaluate the safety and efficacy of the new Cera septal occluder (CSO) for atrial septal defect (ASD) closure as compared to the AMPLATZER Septal Occluder (ASO). Methods and results: A total of 405 ASD patients ...
The relationship between neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin levels and the slow coronary flow phenomenon
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014)
Objectives There is accumulating evidence that inflammation plays a major role in the development of the slow coronary flow (SCF) phenomenon. In this study, we aimed to study the biomarker neutrophil gelatinase-associated ...
Oral anticoagulant therapy and clinical outcomes in patients with atrial fibrillation: a pilot study from a single center registry
(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2014)
The data on the successful use of oral anticoagulation (OAC) in patients with atrial fibrillation are inconclusive. We aimed to describe the indications and the utilization patterns of OAC therapy in patients with atrial ...
