Systolic aortic regurgitation predicts all-cause mortality and hospitalization in outpatients with heart failure and preserved ejection fraction
(Kare Publ, 2020)
OBJECTIVE: Systolic aortic regurgitation (SAR) is considered to be a specific sign of heart failure (HF). However, the prevalence and importance of SAR in patients with HF and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) are unknown. ...
A small pericardial effusion is a marker of complicated hospitalization in patients with community-acquired pneumonia
(W B Saunders Co-Elsevier Inc, 2018)
Objective: Although often asymptomatic, presence of small pericardial effusion (SPE) is shown to be associated with adverse events and increased mortality in various conditions. This study aimed to evaluate the frequency ...
The Role of Left Atrial Volume Index in Patients with a First-ever Acute Ischemic Stroke
(Elsevier, 2017)
Background: Although an enlarged left atrium has recently emerged as a marker of adverse outcomes in various diseases, its discriminatory value and prognostic role in acute ischemic stroke (AIS) are not well studied. We ...

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, ...
Preoperative Mild Pericardial Effusion Is Associated With Perioperative Complications In Elderly Patients Following Hip Fracture Surgery
(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2020)
Background: The prevalence and prognostic value of mild pericardial effusion (MPE) has not been examined in patients undergoing non-cardiac surgery. Our study aimed to assess the frequency and prognostic value of MPE in ...
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 ...
