Long term clinical outcomes of brachytherapy, bare-metal stenting, and drug-eluting stenting for de novo and in-stent restenosis lesions: Five year follow-up.
Background: We aimed to investigate the effects of brachytherapy, drug-eluting stent (DES) and bare metal stent (BMS) applications in the treatment of coronary artery disease, on five- -year clinical outcomes and morta...
Assessment of left ventricle diastolic function in myocardial infarction patients treated with primary angioplasty.
More than 5% of patients over the age of 65 have been found to develop heart failure, and over half of them preserve normal left ventricular systolic function. In the last few years, diastolic heart failure has become a...
Evaluation of exercise capacity with cardiopulmonary exercise test and B-type natriuretic peptide in adults with congenital heart disease.
Adult patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) usually find their exercise capacity satisfactory. However, objective evaluation is important for diagnostic and prognostic purposes. The aim of this study was to evalua...
Left atrial myxoma with an atrial septal defect.
In a 62-year old woman with arterial hypertension, a left atrial myxoma and a concomitant atrial septal defect, diagnosed intraoperatively, were recognized. The atrial septal defect was not observed pre-operatively by tr...
Correlation between endothelial dysfunction in normal coronary patients with slow flow and aortic ectasia: the first report.
Slow coronary flow (SCF) is slow dye progression in the coronary arteries during selective angiography, but there is no such study about greater visceral vessels. Studies have suggested that flow-mediated dilation (FMD)...
