Association between HbA1c levels with severity of coronary artery disease and short-term outcomes of acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction in nondiabetic patients
(2015)
Background: The severity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is directly related to the quality of glucose control in diabetic patients. Additionally, mortality after an acute coronary syndrome is higher in patients with ...
Electrocardiography changes in acute aortic dissection—association with troponin leak, coronary anatomy, and prognosis
(2016)
Background Electrocardiography (ECG) offers some information that may be used to prognosticate acute type A aortic dissection (AAOD) for short- and long-term mortality. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the electrocardiograms ...
Intraoperative administration of vasopressin during coronary artery bypass surgery is associated with acute postoperative kidney injury
(2015)
Background: Severe vasodilatation is commonly seen upon weaning from cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). We examined the effects of vasopressin (arginine vasopressin [AVP]) on acute kidney injury (AKI) in postoperative period. ...
Off-pump coronary artery bypass surgery in severe left ventricular dysfunction
(2010)
Our aim was to examine hospital outcomes of coronary artery bypass surgery in patients with and without left ventricular dysfunction, with regard to the surgical technique (off- or on-pump). Between March 2007 and March ...
Role of perioperative monitoring in diagnosis of massive intraoperative cardiopulmonary embolism
(2014)
Massive thrombotic intraoperative pulmonary emboli (IOPE) is rare but carries a great degree of morbidity and mortality. This is the first study to formally assess the utility of various tools for the diagnosis of these ...
Predictive value of the fragmented QRS complex in 6-month mortality and morbidity following acute coronary syndrome
(2013)
Background: Fragmented QRS encompasses different RSR' patterns showing various morphologies of the QRS complexes with or without the Q wave on a resting 12-lead electrocardiogram. It has been shown possibly to cause adverse ...
Systolic longitudinal function of the left ventricle assessed by speckle tracking in heart failure patients with preserved ejection fraction
(2015)
Background: Echocardiographic evaluations of the longitudinal axis of the left ventricular (LV) function have been used in the diagnosis and assessment of heart failure with normal ejection fraction (HFNEF). The evaluation ...
