Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between masked hypertension and impaired sleep quality. Additionally, we evaluated the diagnostic role and prevalence of poor sleep quality among patients with newly diagnosed masked hypertension.
Material And Methods: A total of 112 individuals, 72 patients with newly diagnosed masked hypertension and 40 normotensive healthy volunteers, were included in this study.
Objectives: This study aims to determine the relationship between atrial electromechanical delay (EMD), carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT), and epicardial fat thickness (EFT) in ankylosing spondylitis (AS), which has a complicated inflammatory nature.
Patients And Methods: The study population included 42 consecutive patients with AS (28 males, 14 females; mean age 39.3±8.
Background: We sought to validate total atrial conduction time (TACT) measurement via tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) by comparing the electrophysiological study (EPS) measurements of healthy subjects, according to age and sex.
Methods: Eighty patients with normal EPS results were included. TACT was measured by EPS and TDI.
Background: Epidemiologic data indicates that rheumatoid arthritis is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. Epicardial adipose tissue is a novel cardio-metabolic risk factor. Our aim was to evaluate epicardial fat thickness (EFT) using echocardiography in patients with rheumatoid arthritis compared to healthy control subjects.

Study Design: The study population included 39 psoriasis patients (18 female, mean age 48±15 years) and 40 control group (18 female, mean age 44±9 years) healthy individuals.
Hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) is widely accepted as a treatment for air or gas embolism, carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, clostridial myonecrosis, crush injuries, and thermal burns. To the best of our knowledge, after HBO therapy, atrial fibrillation (AF) has not been reported in the literature yet. We herein describe a case of AF that occurred in a woman who had taken HBO therapy for CO poisoning.

Methods: Eighty-eight consecutive patients who had been treated with antihypertensive drugs for at least 6 months were included in the study.
