The Association of SYNTAX and Mehran Scores with Inflammation in Patients with Contrast-Induced Nephropathy Secondary to Acute Coronary Syndrome.

Objective: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is the third most common cause of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. The increased use of contrast material in diagnostic and interventional cardiac catheterization procedures has made CIN a frequently encountered problem in clinical cardiology practice. Our study aims to understand the role of inflammatory biomarkers in patients developing CIN and to evaluate the relationship of inflammation with the Mehran Score (MRS) and SYNTAX (SYNERGY Between Percutaneous Coronary Intervention with TAXUS and Cardiac Surgery) Score (SS).

The association between HbA1c/C-peptide levels and short-term mortality in patients diagnosed with myocardial infarction.

In this study, we aimed to investigate the effect of HbA1C/C-peptide ratio on short-term mortality (this period is defined as 30 days after diagnosis) in the patients with myocardial infarction. Around 3245 patients who were admitted due to ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction underwent primary percutaneous coronary intervention between October 2020 and 2024 were included in this study. In the receiver operating characteristic analysis, the predictive power of the HCR score for mortality in ST-elevation myocardial infarction patients was determined to be 83% sensitivity and 81% specificity.

The effect of dapagliflozin therapy on ventricular repolarization parameters in electrocardiography in patients with diabetic cardiovascular disease.

Background: Dapagliflozin is an agent that has both antihyperglycemic effects and is significantly associated with a lower risk of cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). However, there is insufficient data and information about the effect of dapagliflozin on electrocardiographic (ECG) parameters.

Aim: The effects of dapagliflozin on ventricular repolarization parameters have not been fully elucidated yet.

Comparison of the Relationship Between Inflammatory Markers and Atrial Fibrillation Burden.

Background: Atrial fibrillation is a complex disease with irregular ventricular response and tachycardia as a result of irregular and rapid contraction of the atria, with poor cardiovascular outcomes unless treated. Various mechanisms are involved in its pathohysiology. Inflammation has an important place among these mechanisms.
