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 ...
Giant right atrial lipoma mimicking tamponade

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 ...
