Echocardiographic predictors of interatrial block in patients with severe chronic kidney disease
(Springer, 2020)
Background Interatrial block (IAB), defined as a conduction delay between the right and left atrium, is manifested on the electrocardiogram as a prolonged P-wave duration. Large number of studies recently have been published ...
Evaluation of systolic and diastolic cardiac functions and heart rate variability in patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy
(Czech Medical Soc, 2018)
Aim: To explore if patients with juvenile myoclonic epilepsy (JME) have differences in heart rate variability (HRV) associated with risk of arrhythmias and in systolic and diastolic functions. Patients and methods: This ...
The relationship between R wave peak time and left ventricular mass index in patients with end-stage renal disease on hemodialysis
(Springer, 2019)
Purpose Cardiovascular complications have been reported to be the main cause of mortality in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD). Although left ventricular hypertrophy is the most common clinical presentation of ...
Investigation of ICAM-1 levels in hypertensive patients with fragmented QRS complexes
(Taylor and Francis Ltd., 2020)
Objective: Fragmented QRS (fQRS) detected on a 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) has been demonstrated to be a marker of myocardial fibrosis. Intercellular adhesion molecule-1 (ICAM-1) is a protein which plays an important ...
Presence of fragmented QRS may be associated with complex ventricular arrhythmias in patients with essential hypertension
(Churchill Livingstone Inc., 2019)
Background: Ventricular arrhythmias (VAs)are frequent in hypertensive patients. Myocardial fibrosis is one of the components of left ventricular hypertrophy secondary to hypertension. Fragmented QRS (fQRS)on electrocardiography ...
Takotsubo (stress) cardiomyopathy in childhood
(Springer, 2020)
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a significant cause of acute heart failure in adults. However, triggering factors, ECG and echocardiographic findings, and prognosis of TC have not been well studied in children. Therefore, ...
Cutaneous microvascular reactivity and aortic elasticity in coronary artery disease: Comparison of the laser Doppler flowmetry and echocardiography
(Academic Press Inc Elsevier Science, 2017)
Background and aim: Decreased vascular reactivity in atherosclerosis was previously shown. In our study, it was aimed to demonstrate the decreased vascular functions in both microvascular and macrovascular tissues and to ...
Increased Epicardial Fat Thickness Correlates with Aortic Stiffness and N-Terminal Pro-Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels in Acute Ischemic Stroke Patients
(Texas Heart Inst, 2016)
Epicardial fat, a metabolically active tissue, has emerged as a risk factor and active player in metabolic and cardiovascular diseases. We investigated epicardial fat thickness in patients who had sustained an acute ischemic ...
Correlation between Perfusion Index and Left Ventricular Output in Healthy Late Preterm Infants
(Georg Thieme Verlag, 2021)
Aim: The perfusion index (PI) is a noninvasive marker derived from photoelectric plethysmographic signals in pulse oximetry in the evaluation of peripheral perfusion. This study was aimed to determine the correlation between ...
