The present study aimed to examine the association of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) with short-term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). We included 539 STEMI patient treated with pPCI in this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to MACE development. Patients with MACE had higher CAR than those without (1.18 [0.29-1.99] vs 0.21 [0.09-0.49], P <.001). Multivariate analysis showed that The Global Record for Acute Coronary Events score, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score, glucose and CAR (odds ratio:1.326, 95% CI: 1.212-1452, P <.001) were independent predictors of MACE. The CAR may be proven useful for risk stratification in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Amaç: Stent içi restenoz (SR), perkütan koroner girişimin (PKG) önemli komplikasyonlarından biridir. Eozinofil ile SR arasındaki ilişkiyi ortaya çıkaran çok sayıda çalışma olmasına rağmen, literatürde eozinofil-lenfosit oranı (ELO)’nın SR gelişimi ile ilişkisi hakkında veri bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada, hastaların başvuru ELO değerlerinin SR ile ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçladık. Yöntemler: Çalışmaya, daha önce koroner stent takılmış olup hastanemize stabil angina nedeniyle başvuran ve tekrar koroner anjiyografisi yapılan 314 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların verileri retrospektif olarak incelendi. Anjiyografik olarak SR tespit edilen 197 kişi hasta grubuna alındı, stentleri açık olan 117 hasta ise kontrol grubuna dahil edildi. Bulgular: Yaş, cinsiyet, hipertansiyon, diabetes mellitus, LDL-kolesterol, HDL-kolesterol, platelet sayısı, platelet-lenfosit oranı (PLO), hemoglobin düzeyleri ve sol ventrikül ejeksiyon fraksiyonu (LVEF) ölçümleri bakımından gruplar arasında anlamlı bir fark yoktu. Başvuruda bakılmış olan kan beyaz küre sayısı (WBC), nötrofil, eozinofil, C-reaktif protein (CRP), ELO ve nötrofil-lenfosit oranı (NLO) değerleri SR grubunda kontrol grubuna göre istatistiksel olarak anlamlı şekilde daha yüksek lenfosit değerleri daha düşüktü. Tüm hastalar ELO düzeylerine göre iki gruba ayrıldığında, yüksek-ELO grubunda düşük-ELO grubuna kıyasla daha sık SR görüldü. Başvuru ELO değerinin ≥0,745 olması durumunda, SR’u %64 sensitivite ve %61 spesifite ile öngördürebildiği saptandı. Sonuç: Bu çalışmada ELO değerleri kontrol grubuna kıyasla SR grubunda anlamlı olarak daha yüksek bulundu. Çalışmadan elde ettiğimiz bulgular ışığında kolay ve ucuz bir yöntem olan ELO, SR açısından yüksek riskli hastaların belirlenmesine yardımcı olabilir ve yüksek ELO, SR için bir öngördürücü olarak kullanılabilir., Objective: Stent restenosis (SR) is an important complication of percutaneous coronary intervention. There are many studies explored the relation of eosinophils with SR, however, there is no data about relationship between eosinophil-lymphocyte ratio (ELR) and SR. In this study we aimed to investigate the relationship between the value of ELR on admission and SR. Methods: The study was included 314 patients who had been applied a coronary stent implantation and they were admitted to cardiology clinic with stabile angina and underwent repeat coronary angiography. The data obtained from patients were analyzed retrospectively. The patient group was consisted of 197 patients who were diagnosed as SR, and the control group was consisted of 117 patients whose stents were patent angiographically. Results: The groups were similar in terms of age, gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, LDL-C, HDL-C, platelet count, platelet-lymphocyte ratio (PLR), hemoglobin and left ventricle ejection fraction (LVEF). White blood cell (WBC), neutrophil, eosinophil, C-reactive protein (CRP), ELR and neutrophil-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) on admission were higher in the SR group compared to the controls. All patients were categorized into two groups according to ELR values and SR was more frequent in the high ELR group compared to low ELR group. An ELR value of ≥0.745 predicted SR with 64% sensitivity and 61% specifity. Conclusion: In this study ELR was found statistically higher in SR patients compared to the controls. According to our data ELR as an inexpensive and easy method, may contribute to determination of high risk patients and increased ELR can be used as a predictor of SR.

Objectives: Our aim was to evaluate whether more than one observer or fractional flow reserve has the same results in assessing coronary lesion severity in intermediate lesions. Methods: Our hospital\'s database was searched for fractional flow reserve procedures and then these patient\'s lesions were assessed visually by three experienced interventional cardiologist. Results: 8 of 46 patients were (17.4%) female and 38 of 46 were (82,6%) male. Average age was 61±11 years (Male: 60±11 / Female: 70±7 years). One observer could only detect 66.7% of severe lesions and 76.2% of non-severe lesions. When two observers agreed about lesion severity, true detection of severe lesions was (max) 76.7%, and true detection of non-severe lesions was (max) 66.7%, so a decrease in true detection of non-severe lesions was observed. When one of the observers called a lesion âsevereâ and the lesion was assumed as âsevereâ, detection of a severe lesion was 83.3% (p=0.017); if all of the observers agreed that the lesion was ânon-severeâ then true detection of a non-severe lesion was 90.5% (p, Amaç: Koroner arter hastalığında orta dereceli lezyonların ciddiyetinin değerlendirilmesinde, çok gözlemci ile yapılan değerlendirmenin fraksiyonel akım rezervi ile benzer sonuçlar elde edip edemeyeceği belirlenmek istenmiştir. Yöntemler: Hastanemizin veritabanı fraksiyonel akım rezervi işlemleri açısından tarandı ve hastalara ait lezyonlar üç deneyimli girişimsel kardiyolog tarafından görsel olarak değerlendirildi. Bulgular: 46 olgunun 8\'i (%17,4) kadın ve 38\'i (%82,6) erkekti. Yaş ortalaması 61±11 yıl idi. (Erkek: 60±11 / Kadın: 70±7 yıl). Tek gözlemcinin ciddi lezyonların ancak %66,7\'sini saptayabildiği, ciddi olmayan lezyonların ise en fazla %76,2\'sini saptayabildiği gözlendi. İki gözlemcinin ortak kararına bakıldığında ise ciddi lezyonları saptama olasılığının maksimum %76,7, ciddi olmayan lezyonları saptama olasılığının ise maksimum %66,7 olduğu saptandı, yani iki gözlemcinin ortak kararı ile ciddi olmayan lezyonların değerlendirilmesinde yanlışlık olasılığının arttığı görüldü. Üç gözlemciden biri lezyona ciddi dediğinde ciddi çıkma ihtimalinin %83,3 e yükseldiği (p=0,017), üç gözlemcinin de ciddi değil olarak değerlendirdiği lezyonların ciddi çıkmama olasılığının %90,5\'e yükseldiği (p

Objective: Myocardial bridge (MB) is a congenital anomaly characterized by systolic narrowing of the epicardial coronary arterial segment while traveling in the myocardium. It is a benign entity but previous studies showed that the proximal portion is prone to an enhanced atherosclerosis. Neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a sensitive marker of systemic inflammation used as a predictor for adverse cardiovascular outcomes in atherosclerotic heart disease. So in this study, we sought to evaluate the association between NLR and myocardial bridging. Methods: A total of 172 patients (mean age: 50.8 ± 11.5 years, 77.3% men) with either angiographically proven MB or normal coronary arteries were included in the study. For the entire study population, hematologic parameters were measured using an automatic blood counter. Results: The study population consisted of 71 patients with MB (mean age: 51.4 ± 11.9 years, 80.3% male) and 101 patients with normal coronary arteries (mean age: 50.5 ± 11.3 years, 75.2% male). There were no significant differences between groups regarding hemoglobin level, platelet count, glucose and creatinine. Compared to the control group, NLR was significantly higher in patients with MB (2.45 ± 1.19 vs. 1.72 ± 0.48; p< 0.001). In ROC analysis, NLR > 1.82 predicted myocardial bridge presence with 70% sensitivity and 71% specificity (ROC area under curve: 0.733, 95% CI: 0.654-0.811, p < 0.001). Conclusion: Our study findings demonstrated that MB is associated with elevated NLR, which is used to assess inflammatory status of the body. J Clin Exp Invest 2014; 5 (1): 24-28, Amaç: Miyokardiyal kas bandı miyokart içinde seyreden epikardiyal koroner arterlerin sistolde daralması ile seyreden konjenital bir anomalidir. İyi huylu olmasına rağmen önceki çalışmalarda proksimal kesimlerin artmış ateroskleroza eğilimli olduğu gösterilmiştir. Nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLO) aterosklerotik kalp hastalıklarında kötü prognozu öngören sistemik enflamasyonun duyarlı bir belirtecidir. Biz bu çalışmada NLO ile miyokardiyal kas bandı arasında bir ilişki var olup olmadığını araştırmayı amaçladık. Metodlar: Anjiyografik olarak tespit edilmiş miyokardiyal kas bandı veya normal koroner arterleri olan 172 hasta (ortalama yaş: 50.8 ± 11.5 yıl, %77.3 erkek) çalışmaya dahil edildi. Otomatik kan sayacı kullanılarak tüm hastaların hematolojik parametreleri ölçüldü. Bulgular: Çalışma 71 miyokardiyal kas bandı (ortalama yaş: 51,4 ± 11,9 yıl, %80,3 erkek) ve 101 normal koroner arterleri (ortalama yaş: 50,5 ± 11,3 yıl, %75.2 erkek) olan hastadan oluşmaktaydı. Hemoglobin, trombosit sayısı, glukoz ve kreatinin açısından gruplar arasında fark saptanmadı. Kontrol grubuna göre miyokardiyal kas bandı grubunda NLO anlamlı olarak daha yüksekti (2,45 ± 1,19 vs. 1,72 ± 0,48; p< 0,001). ROC analizinde, NLO > 1,82 miyokardiyal kas bandı varlığını %70 duyarlılık ve %71 özgüllükle öngörmüştür (ROC eğri altında kalan alan: 0.733, 95% güvenlik aralığı: 0.654-0.811, p < 0.001). Sonuç: Çalışmamız miyokardiyal kas bandının vücutta enflamatuar düzeyi gösteren yüksek NLO seviyeleri ile ilişkili olduğunu göstermiştir.

Objective: We aimed to investigate short term effects of oral and infusion dosages of amiodarone on thyroid function. Methods: A hundred and fifty-five prospectively consecutive patients with a diagnosis of atrial or ventricular arrhythmias admitted to our clinic whom amiodarone were applied enrolled to our study. 134 patients received 16 mg/kg amiodarone iv infusion for 24 hours and oral 500±100 mg/day amiodarone as the maintenance dose for one month. 21 patients received only oral 500±100 mg/day amiodarone dose for one month. Follow up visit was performed in the first month of amiodarone therapy. Results: In this study 68% of patients were male and the average age of the patients was 62.8±13.5. The indications for amiodarone treatment were atrial fibrillation (41%), ventricular tachycardia (41%), and preoperative (5%), supraventricular tachycardia (5%), atrial flutter (5%), and ventricular fibrillation (3%). At the first month of follow up 83% of patients were in euthyroid state, 17% of the patients had amiodarone induced thyroid dysfunction (TD), 5% of patients had subclinical hyperthyroidism, 5% of patients had manifest hypothyroidism, 7% of patients had subclinical hyperthyroidism, and 1% of the patients developed overt hyperthyroidism. Conclusion: In this study we showed that amiodarone can cause adverse effects on thyroid function in a short time of period. For this reason patients should be followed in the first, third, sixth and twelfth months of amiodarone therapy and thyroid function should be evaluated. J Clin Exp Invest 2014; 5 (2): 280-285, Amaç: Bu yazıda amiodaronun tiroid fonksiyonları üzerindeki kısa dönem etkilerini, oral ve infüzyon dozlarınının tiroid fonksiyonları üzerindeki etkisini araştırmak amaçlanmıştır. Yöntemler: Kliniğimize atrial ve ventriküler aritmilerle başvurup amiodaron başlama endikasyonu olan ardışık 155 ötroid hasta çalışmaya alındı. Hastaların 134\'üne 16 mg/kg dozunda 24 saat IV amiodaron infüzyonu takiben bir ay boyunca oral 500±100 mg/gün, geriye kalan 21 hastaya ise sadece oral 500±100 mg/gün amiodaron başlandı. Hastalar tedavinin birinci ayında kontrole çağrıldı. Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan hastaların %68\'i erkek olup hastaların ortalama yaşı. 62,8±13,5 idi. Amiodaron başlama endikayonu olan hastaların %41\'i atrial fibrilasyon, % 41\'i ventriküler taşikardi, %5\'i preoperatif, %5\'i supraventriküler taşikardi, %5\'i atriyal flutter, %3\'ü ventriküler fibrilasyondu. Birinci ay kontrolünde %83 hastada ötiroid durum, % 17 hastada ise amiodarona bağlı tiroid disfonksiyonu (TD) saptandı. TD saptanan hastaların %5\'i subklinik hipotiroidi, %5\'i aşikar hipotiroidi, %7\'si subklinik hipertiroidi, %1\'inde de aşikar hipertiroidi gelişmişti. Sonuçlar: Bu çalışmada amiodaronun kısa dönemde de tiroid fonksiyonları üzerinde olumsuz etki yapabileceğini gösterdik. Bu nedenle amiodaron tedavisi başlanan hastalar birinci ay, üçüncü ay, altıncı ay ve onikinci ay kontrole çağrılmalıdır. Böylece amiodaron tedavisi alması zorunlu hastalarda gelişecek olan TD erkenden tespit edilebilecek ve uygun tedavi başlanabilecektir.

BSTRACT Objective: the neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and uric acid (UA) are inflammatory markers in cardiovascular disease. However, there are not enough data on infarct-related artery (IRA) patency in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to investigate the association of NLR, PLR, and UA with IRA patency before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in STEMI. Methods: the study was designed as a retrospective study. Three hundred and twenty-four consecutive patients with STEMI were divided into two groups according to pre-PCI Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grade (TIMI). Patients with a TIMI flow grade of into the spontaneous reperfusion (SR) group, while patients with TIMI flow grade of 0, 1 and 2 were placed into the non-SR group. the χ2 and independentsamples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, multivariate logistic regression analysis, and receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were used for the statistical analysis. Results: PLR, NLR, and UA values in the SR group were lower than in the non-SR group (p190, UA>5.75 mg/dL, and NLR>4.2 predicted non-SR. the sensitivity and specificity of the association between low IRA TIMI flow grade and PLR were 88% and 84%, 72% and 66% for UA, and 74% and 44% for NLR, respectively. Conclusion: We determined that PLR and UA are novel predictors of IRA patency before PCI. We suggest that PLR and UA may be used in riskstratifying STEMI. (

Objective: An increase in epicardial fat tissue (EFT) thickness was found to be associated with metabolic syndrome (MS) and ischemic heart disease. MS is a comorbidity of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) resulting from the accompanying systemic inflammation. The aim of our study was to investigate the usefulness of EFT thickness to predict MS in COPD patients. Methods: COPD patients admitted to our clinic during January-December 2014 and healthy controls were included in this prospective casecontrol study. Patients with comorbidities, COPD exacerbation, and malignancies were excluded. Patients and controls were compared in terms of anthropometric measurements, MS-related examination and laboratory findings, pulmonary function tests, and EFT thickness. The correlations between EFT thickness and markers of MS in COPD were evaluated using the Student's t-test and logistic regression analysis. Results: COPD patients and controls were composed of 82 and 84 individuals, respectively. MS was diagnosed in 31 (37.8%) COPD patients. The EFT thickness was significantly higher in COPD patients than in the controls and was also higher in COPD patients with MS than in those without MS (all p<0.001). Each 1-mm increment of EFT raised the risk of MS two-fold (p=0.011, OR=2.08, 95% CI: 1.18-3.68). Increase in triglyceride level (p=0.004, OR=1.02, 95% CI: 1.01-1.03) and reduction in forced vital capacity (p=0.025, OR=0.26, 95% CI: 0.08-0.84) were found to be associated with increased MS risk. The cut-off value for EFT thickness in the prediction of MS in COPD patients was 6.75 mm (sensitivity: 83%, specificity: 65%). Conclusion: EFT thickness is a non-invasive and easily available parameter, which is valuable in the prediction of increased MS risk in COPD patients. Early diagnosis of patients at risk of MS may help to prevent ischemic heart disease in these patients. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Objective: Carotid artery stenting (CAS) is being applied more frequently as an alternative mode of treatment to carotid endarterectomy. We aimed to present the shortterm clinical outcomes of the patients admitted to our clinic with a diagnosis of carotid artery disease and revascularized by CAS. Methods: The study was retrospective and a single-centered study. Between June 2013-January 2016 the patients with an indication for carotid artery intervention and accepted CAS procedure were included in the study. Clinical characteristics and procedural data of the patients were obtained by scanning patient files. After discharge, hospital records were scanned and patients were called to learn whether or not patients were alive and that they have suffered a recent stroke. Results: We included 82 patients that meet the inclusion criteria in the study. 59% of patients were male with a mean age of 68±9 years. 56% of patients were symptomatic. In all patients, stents were used. 85% of patients distal embolic protection devices and 15% MOMA were used. 64 right, 18 left, and two bilateral carotid arteries were stented with a total of 82 patient of 84 successful CAS. Due to residual stenosis a second stent was implanted only in one patient. One patient experienced a partial muscle weakening in upper extremity due to an air embolism and 2 patients received opac material which recovered spontaneously in 24 hours. Conclusion: CAS is being successfully applied with a very low risk of complications in experienced centers. Short-term clinical results of CAS are quite satisfactory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between hematologic indices and the Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) score in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). A total of 800 patients who consecutively and retrospectively presented with STEMI within 12 hours of symptom onset. After accounting for exclusion criteria, a total of 379 patients remained in the study. We enrolled 379 patients with STEMI (mean age 61.7 ± 13.6 years; men 73%). Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), red cell distribution width (RDW), and monocyte count were associated with increased worse GRACE risk score (P = .008, P = .012, P = .005, P = .022, respectively). In multivariate linear regression analysis, NLR, PLR, RDW, and monocyte count were found to be independent predictors of GRACE risk score. We demonstrate for the first time that PLR, RDW, and monocyte were associated with the GRACE score in patients with STEMI. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between atrial electromechanical delay (EMD) measured with tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and left atrial (LA) mechanical functions in patients with ischemic stroke and compare them with healthy controls. Methods: Thirty patients with ischemic stroke were enrolled into this cross-sectional, observational study. The control group consisted of 35 age- and gender-matched apparently healthy individuals patients. Acute cerebral infarcts of probable embolic origin were diagnosed via imaging and were confirmed by a neurologist. Echocardiographically, time intervals from the beginning of P wave to beginning of A wave from the lateral and septal mitral and right ventricular tricuspid annuli in TDI were recorded. The differences between these intervals gave the mechanical delays (inter- and intra-atrial). Left atrial (LA) volumes were measured using the biplane area-length method, and LA mechanical function parameters were calculated. Statistical analysis was performed using student's t-test, chi-squared test, and Pearson's test. Results: The laboratory and clinical characteristics were similar in the two groups. Increased left atrial EMD (21.36±10.38 ms versus 11.74±6.06 ms, p<0.001), right atrial EMD (13.66±8.62 ms versus 9.66±6.81 ms, p=0.040), and interatrial EMD (35.03±9.95 ms versus 21.40±8.47 ms, p<0.001) were observed in stroke patients as compared to controls. Active LA emptying volume and fraction and passive LA emptying volumes and fraction were similar between controls and stroke patients. Total LA emptying volumes were significantly increased in stroke patients as compared to healthy controls (33.19±11.99 mL/m2 versus 27.48±7.08 mL/m2, p=0.021). Conclusion: According to the results of our study, interatrial electromechanical delay may be a new predictor for ischemic stroke. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

- Abstract
Inflammation has recently emerged in the pathogenesis of several cardiovascular disorders, including arrhythmias. The neutrophil–lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is a simple marker for the assessment of inflammatory status. Therefore, we aimed to investigate the relationship between the NLR and the ventricular premature contraction (VPC) existence. Patients aged between 18 and 40 years who were referred to the cardiology clinic were enrolled in the study. All patients’ complete blood counts and 24-hour Holter recordings were analyzed. The NLR was higher within the VPC group compared to the control group (P < .001). According to the NLR tertiles, VPCs were more common in the higher NLR tertile (P < .001). A cutoff point of 1.80 for the NLR had 71% sensitivity and 60% specificity in predicting VPC in apparently healthy individuals. After multivariate analysis, only the NLR remained significant predictor of presence of VPC. In conclusion, the NLR is independently and significantly associated with VPC existence.

Objective: The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) is an inexpensive, readily available and reliable inflammatory marker, which has a predictor value in different cardiovascular disorders. Functional capacity is one of the most important prognostic factors in patients with heart failure, which is usually stated as metabolic equivalents (MET). The goal of the study was to investigate the relationship between the NLR and functional capacity (FC) in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDC). Methods: Treadmill test according to modified-Bruce protocol was performed in 37 patients with IDC (mean age 46.7±11.7 years, 81.1% male) to assess their functional capacity. Baseline clinical and echocardiographic variables were obtained. Hematological and biochemical parameters were measured using standard techniques. Results: The patients were divided into low (<5 MET, n=18) and high (>5 MET, n=19) FC groups according to their functional status in the exercise test. The 2 groups were similar regarding age, gender and the presence of hypertension and diabetes mellitus. There was no significant difference between groups regarding echocardiographic parameters such as left ventricular ejection fraction and diameters. However, the NLR was significantly higher in low FC group compared to high FC group (3.62±2.24 vs. 2.24±0.67, p=0.002; respectively). There were significant negative correlations between the NLR, MET and left ventricular ejection fraction (r=-0.405, p=0.013 and r=-0.028, p=0.028; respectively). Diastolic dysfunction was present in all the patients with low functional capacity. A cut-off point of 2.26 for the NLR had 83% sensitivity and 69% specificity in predicting poor FC. After multivariate analysis, only the NLR remained significant predictor of poor functional status. Conclusion: We detected a significant association between the NLR and low FC, both of which has predictive and prognostic value in patients with heart failure. Functional capacity may depend on diastolic function rather than left ventricular ejection fraction in patients with IDC. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Arterial stiffness (AS), the term describes the rigidity of arterial walls, and its hemodynamic results have been shown to be associated with increase in future cardiovascular events. Women with pre-eclampsia in their past pregnancies have a higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease later in life. The goal of this study was to assess AS using a non-invasive and simple oscillometric method in pregnant women with and without pre-eclampsia. Methods: Ninety pregnant women, forty-five of which had pre-eclampsia, were included in the study. The vascular measurements were performed with a Mobil-O-Graph 24 h PWA Monitor, an automatic oscillometric device. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square, independent sample t-test or the Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson correlation, and linear regression tests. Results: All the vascular function parameters were significantly higher in the patients with pre-eclampsia. The pulse wave velocity (PWV) values found in the pre-eclampsia group were positively correlated with gestational age, maternal age, glucose level, creatinine level, augmentation index, and central blood pressure. Using linear regression analysis, the PWV values were confirmed to be positively correlated with gestational age, maternal age, and central systolic blood pressure. The women with severe pre-eclampsia had significantly higher blood pressures, PWV values, augmentation indices, and cardiac outputs when compared with the patients with mild pre-eclampsia. Conclusion: Oscillometric PWV measurement is already accepted as the most reproducible quick, simple, and inexpensive non-invasive method for the assessment of large artery stiffness. It can be applied to evaluate the AS and also aid in detecting future cardiovascular risk of patients with pre-eclampsia. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Background: Increased epicardial fat thickness (EFT) has been proposed as a new cardiometabolic risk factor. The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR) has predictive and prognostic value in several cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this study was to explore the association between EFT and NLR in patients with pre-eclampsia. Methods: Hundred and eight pregnant patients with a mean age of 30.6 ± 6.3 years were included in the study. Patients were divided into two groups based on the presence of pre-eclampsia. All participants underwent transthoracic echocardiography imaging, and complete blood counts were measured by an automated hematology analyzer. Statistical analysis was performed using the Chi-square, Mann-Whitney U, correlation and logistic regression tests, and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analysis. Result: The mean EFT value of the pre-eclampsia group was significantly higher than the control group (6.9 ± 0.6 versus 5.6 ± 0.6; p < 0.001), and the NLR value of the pre-eclampsia group was also significantly higher than the control group (7.3 ± 3.5 versus 3.1 ± 1.1; p < 0.001). Multivariate analysis showed that increased levels of NLR and echocardiographic EFT are independent predictors of pre-eclampsia. In the receiver operating characteristic analysis, a level of EFT ≥ 6.2 mm and NLR ≥ 4.1 predicted the presence of pre-eclampsia with 77.8% sensitivity, 79.6% specificity and 83.3% sensitivity, 81.5% specificity, respectively. Conclusion: Unlike many other inflammatory markers and bioassays, NLR and echocardiographic EFT are inexpensive and readily available biomarkers that may be useful for risk stratification in patients with pre-eclampsia.

WOS:000614539900006 PMID: 33371718 The present study aimed to examine the association of C-reactive protein to albumin ratio (CAR) with short-term major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). We included 539 STEMI patient treated with pPCI in this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups according to MACE development. Patients with MACE had higher CAR than those without (1.18 [0.29-1.99] vs 0.21 [0.09-0.49], P < .001). Multivariate analysis showed that The Global Record for Acute Coronary Events score, Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXus and cardiac surgery (SYNTAX) score, glucose and CAR (odds ratio:1.326, 95% CI: 1.212-1452, P < .001) were independent predictors of MACE. The CAR may be proven useful for risk stratification in STEMI patients undergoing pPCI

Amaç: Periferik arter hastalıkları (PAH), dünya genelinde kardiyovasküler morbidite ve mortalitenin önemli nedenlerinden biri olup sıklığı giderek artmaktadır. Altta yatan temel patoloji ateroskleroz olduğundan iskemik kalp hastalıkları ve serebrovasküler hastalıklar ile birlikteliği sıktır. Birçok çalışma, sistemik inflamasyonun aterosklerozun başlamasında, ilerlemesinde ve izleminde önemli bir yere sahip olduğunu göstemiştir. Nötrofiller, lenfositler, plateletler ve eozinofiller inflamasyonda kilit rol oynayan hücreler olup özellikle nötrofiller salgıladıkları araşidonik asit metabolitleri, kemoatraktanlar ve süperoksid radikalleri ile inflamasyonun ilerlemesinde katkıda bulunurlar. Bunun yanında kanda ölçülen yüksek eritrosit dağılım aralığı (RDW), platelet dağılım aralığı (PDW), ortalama platelet hacmi (MPV) değerleri inflamatuar reaksiyonlar ile ilişkili bulunmuş ve aterosklerotik periferik arter hastalıklarında morbidite veya mortalite öngördürücüsü olarak kullanılabileceği fikri oluşmuştur. Bu çalışmada amacımız bu parametreler ve bunlardan elde edilen indeksler [nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLO), platelet/lenfosit oranı (PLO), eozinofil/lenfosit oranı (ELO) ] ile TASC-II (Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus) sınıflamasına göre periferik arter hastalığı ciddiyetini değerlendirmektir.Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Eylül 2014 ve Ağustos 2017 tarihleri arasında Dicle Üniversitesi Kalp Hastanesi'nde PAH tanısıyla periferik anjiyografi yapılan 170 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların laboratuar değerleri retrospektif olarak incelendi. TASC-II sınıflamasına göre hastaların lezyonları belirlendi ve hastalar, lezyonların anjiyografik olarak belirlenen ciddiyetine göre TASC-II AB (n:77) veya TASC-II CD (n:93) şeklinde iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların demografik özellikleri (yaş, cinsiyet, sigara içiciliği, hipertansiyon, diyabet, kronik böbrek hastalığı, hiperlipidemi) sorgulandı ve her iki grupta da rapor edildi.Bulgular: Gruplar arasında hipertansiyon dışında demografik özellikler bakımından anlamlı fark yoktu. Periferik anjiyografi yapılan 170 hastanın 106'sına perkutan girişim yapılmış olup bunların 60'ına stent takıldı. En fazla müdahale edilen arter süperfisyal femoral arter oldu (48 hasta). Yüksek NLO, PLO, ELO, RDW ve PDW değerleri ile TASC-II sınıflamasına göre PAH ciddiyeti arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptandı. MPV değerleri ile PAH ciddiyeti arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı. Korelasyon analizi yapıldığında TASC-II sınıflaması ile RDW arasında yüksek; NLO, PLO, PDW ile orta; ELO ile düşük düzeyde korelasyon saptandı.Sonuç: Plazma NLO, PLO, ELO, RDW ve PDW değerleri ile TASC-II sınıflamasına göre PAH ciddiyeti arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki mevcuttur. Basit bir tam kan sayımı ile ölçülebilecek olan bu belirteçler, PAH ciddiyeti ve yaygınlığı konusunda tahmin sağlayabilir. Ancak bu alanda literatürde yapılan çalışma sayısı çok az olduğundan başka çalışmalar ile bu ilişkinin doğrulanması gerekmektedir. MPV değerleri ile PAH ciddiyeti arasında ise anlamlı ilişki saptanamamıştır. Literatürde yapılan çalışmaların sayısı çok az olduğundan ve olan çalışmalar da çelişkili bilgiler içerdiğinden bu alanda daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır. Aim: Peripheral arterial diseases (PAD) are one of the major causes of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality worldwide and their frequency is increasing. It is often associated with ischemic heart diseases and cerebrovascular diseases because of underlying pathology is atherosclerosis. Several studies have shown that systemic inflammation has an important place in the onset, progression and prognosis of atherosclerosis. Neutrophils, lymphocytes, platelets, and eosinophils are cells that play a key role in inflammation, especially neutrophils contribute to the progression of inflammation via secreting arachidonic acid metabolites, chemoattractants and superoxide radicals. Besides blood measured by high red cell distribution width (RDW), platelet distribution width (PDW), mean platelet volume (MPV) values have been associated with the inflammatory reaction and the idea can be used as predictors of morbidity or mortality in atherosclerotic PAD. In this study, we aimed to evaluate these parameters and the indices [neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR), platelet to lymphocyte ratio (PLR), eosinophil to lymphocyte ratio (ELR)] obtained from them and PAD severity according to TASC-II classification.Methods: 170 PAD patients with peripherally angiographically diagnosed between September 2014 and August 2017 at Dicle University Heart Hospital were included in the study. Laboratory values of the patients were analyzed retrospectively. According to TASC-II classification, lesions of patients were determined and patients were divided into two groups as TASC-II AB (n:77) or TASC-CD (n:93) according to the angiographic severity of the lesions. The demographic characteristics of the patients (age, sex, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, chronic kidney disease, hyperlipidemia) were questioned and reported in both groups.Results: There was no significant difference between groups in terms of demographic features except hypertension. Percutaneous intervention was performed in 106 of 170 patients who underwent peripheral angiography and 60 of them were stented. Most intervened artery was superficial femoral artery (48 patients). Statistically significant relation was found between the high values of NLR, PLR, ELR, RDW and PDW and the severity of peripheral arterial disease according to TASC-II classification. There was no statistically significant relationship between MPV values and PAD severity. When correlation analysis was performed, high correlation with RDW; moderate correlation with NLR, PLR, PDW; low correlation with ELR was detected between TASC-II classification.Conclusion: There is a statistically significant relationship between plasma NLR, PLR, ELR, RDW and PDW values and PAD severity according to TASC-II classification. These markers, which can be measured with a simple whole blood count, can provide prediction the severity and prevalence of PAD. However, because of there are only a small number of studies done in the literature in this area, it is necessary to confirm this relationship with any other studies. There was no significant relationship between MPV values and the severity of PAD. Since the number of studies done in the literature is very small and studies involve conflicting information, more work is needed in this area. 86

Lisansüstü tezlerin elektronik ortamda toplanması, düzenlenmesi ve erişime açılması konusuna ilişkin yök'ün 18.06.2018 tarihli yönergesine istinaden artık bu tarihten sonra gizlilik şartı aranmayan bütün tezler erişime açılacaktır. Amaç: Periferik arter hastalıkları (PAH), dünya genelinde kardiyovasküler morbidite ve mortalitenin önemli nedenlerinden biri olup sıklığı giderek artmaktadır. Altta yatan temel patoloji ateroskleroz olduğundan iskemik kalp hastalıkları ve serebrovasküler hastalıklar ile birlikteliği sıktır. Birçok çalışma, sistemik inflamasyonun aterosklerozun başlamasında, ilerlemesinde ve izleminde önemli bir yere sahip olduğunu göstemiştir. Nötrofiller, lenfositler, plateletler ve eozinofiller inflamasyonda kilit rol oynayan hücreler olup özellikle nötrofiller salgıladıkları araşidonik asit metabolitleri, kemoatraktanlar ve süperoksid radikalleri ile inflamasyonun ilerlemesinde katkıda bulunurlar. Bunun yanında kanda ölçülen yüksek eritrosit dağılım aralığı (RDW), platelet dağılım aralığı (PDW), ortalama platelet hacmi (MPV) değerleri inflamatuar reaksiyonlar ile ilişkili bulunmuş ve aterosklerotik periferik arter hastalıklarında morbidite veya mortalite öngördürücüsü olarak kullanılabileceği fikri oluşmuştur. Bu çalışmada amacımız bu parametreler ve bunlardan elde edilen indeksler [nötrofil/lenfosit oranı (NLO), platelet/lenfosit oranı (PLO), eozinofil/lenfosit oranı (ELO) ] ile TASC-II (Trans-Atlantic Inter-Society Consensus) sınıflamasına göre periferik arter hastalığı ciddiyetini değerlendirmektir. Gereç ve Yöntem: Çalışmaya Eylül 2014 ve Ağustos 2017 tarihleri arasında Dicle Üniversitesi Kalp Hastanesi'nde PAH tanısıyla periferik anjiyografi yapılan 170 hasta dahil edildi. Hastaların laboratuar değerleri retrospektif olarak incelendi. TASC-II sınıflamasına göre hastaların lezyonları belirlendi ve hastalar, lezyonların anjiyografik olarak belirlenen ciddiyetine göre TASC-II AB (n:77) veya TASC-II CD (n:93) şeklinde iki gruba ayrıldı. Hastaların demografik özellikleri (yaş, cinsiyet, sigara içiciliği, hipertansiyon, diyabet, kronik böbrek hastalığı, hiperlipidemi) sorgulandı ve her iki grupta da rapor edildi. Bulgular: Gruplar arasında hipertansiyon dışında demografik özellikler bakımından anlamlı fark yoktu. Periferik anjiyografi yapılan 170 hastanın 106'sına perkutan girişim yapılmış olup bunların 60'ına stent takıldı. En fazla müdahale edilen arter süperfisyal femoral arter oldu (48 hasta). Yüksek NLO, PLO, ELO, RDW ve PDW değerleri ile TASC-II sınıflamasına göre PAH ciddiyeti arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptandı. MPV değerleri ile PAH ciddiyeti arasında ise istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki saptanmadı. Korelasyon analizi yapıldığında TASC-II sınıflaması ile RDW arasında yüksek; NLO, PLO, PDW ile orta; ELO ile düşük düzeyde korelasyon saptandı. Sonuç: Plazma NLO, PLO, ELO, RDW ve PDW değerleri ile TASC-II sınıflamasına göre PAH ciddiyeti arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ilişki mevcuttur. Basit bir tam kan sayımı ile ölçülebilecek olan bu belirteçler, PAH ciddiyeti ve yaygınlığı konusunda tahmin sağlayabilir. Ancak bu alanda literatürde yapılan çalışma sayısı çok az olduğundan başka çalışmalar ile bu ilişkinin doğrulanması gerekmektedir. MPV değerleri ile PAH ciddiyeti arasında ise anlamlı ilişki saptanamamıştır. Literatürde yapılan çalışmaların sayısı çok az olduğundan ve olan çalışmalar da çelişkili bilgiler içerdiğinden bu alanda daha fazla çalışmaya ihtiyaç vardır.

WOS: 000421963600007, PubMed: 25782122, Objectives: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common causes of preventable ischemic stroke and is related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of data in Turkey on the use of new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), and time in therapeutic INR range (TTR) in vitamin K antagonist users and AF management modality. In this multi-center trial, we aimed to analyze, follow and evaluate the epidemiological data in non-valvular AF patients. Study design: Four thousand one hundred consecutive adult patients from 42 centers with at least one AF attack identified on electrocardiography will be included in the study. Patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and prosthetic valve disease will be excluded from the study. At the end of one year, the patients will be evaluated in terms of major cardiac end points (death, transient ischemic attack, stroke, systemic thromboembolism, major bleeding and hospitalization). Results: First results are expected in June 2015. Data about major cardiovascular end-points will be available in January 2016. Conclusion: The rates and kind of oral anticoagulant use, TTR in vitamin K antagonist users and main management modality applied in non-valvular AF patients will be determined by AFTER-2 study. In addition, the rate of major adverse events (MACEs) and the independent predictors of these MACEs will be detected (AFTER-2 Study ClinicalTrials. gov number, NCT02354456.).

Objective: The neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio (NLR), the platelet/lymphocyte ratio (PLR), and uric acid (UA) are inflammatory markers in cardiovascular disease. However, there are not enough data on infarct-related artery (IRA) patency in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed to investigate the association of NLR, PLR, and UA with IRA patency before percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in STEMI. Methods: The study was designed as a retrospective study. Three hundred and twenty-four consecutive patients with STEMI were divided into two groups according to pre-PCI Thrombolysis in Myocardial Infarction flow grade (TIMI). Patients with a TIMI flow grade of into the spontaneous reperfusion (SR) group, while patients with TIMI flow grade of 0, 1 and 2 were placed into the non-SR group. The χ2 and independentsamples t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, multivariate logistic regression analysis, and receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curve analysis were used for the statistical analysis. Results: PLR, NLR, and UA values in the SR group were lower than in the non-SR group (p190, UA>5.75 mg/dL, and NLR>4.2 predicted non-SR. The sensitivity and specificity of the association between low IRA TIMI flow grade and PLR were 88% and 84%, 72% and 66% for UA, and 74% and 44% for NLR, respectively. Conclusion: We determined that PLR and UA are novel predictors of IRA patency before PCI. We suggest that PLR and UA may be used in riskstratifying STEMI. (Anatol J Cardiol 2015; 15: 648-56)
