Poor Nutritional Status Is Associated with Arrhythmic Events on 24-Hour Holter Recording.

Background: Malnutrition is associated with cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality. Arrhythmias may be the cardiac consequences of malnutrition.

Objectives: The objective of the study was to evaluate the association between prognostic nutritional index (PNI), Controlling Nutritional Status (CONUT) score, and arrhythmic events on 24-h electrocardiography (ECG) Holter recording in patients without manifested arrhythmia.

Prognostic Nutritional Index as a New Prediction Tool for Coronary Collateral Development.

Background: Nutritional status is a predictor of the prognosis of cardiovascular diseases. The association between the Prognostic Nutritional Index (PNI), which is an immunonutritional parameter, and cardiovascular diseases has been extensively studied in the literature.

Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate whether PNI is associated with coronary collateral development.

Nutritional status and severity of coronary artery disease.

Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association between Nutritional Risk Index (NRI), a simple tool to assess nutritional status, and coronary artery disease severity and complexity in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

Methods: This study is a retrospective analysis of 822 patients undergoing coronary angiography. Patients with previous revascularization were excluded.

Impact of Admission Blood Glucose on Coronary Collateral Flow in Patients with ST-Elevation Myocardial Infarction.

In patients with acute myocardial infarction, glucose metabolism is altered and acute hyperglycemia on admission is common regardless of diabetes status. The development of coronary collateral is heterogeneous among individuals with coronary artery disease. In this study, we aimed to investigate whether glucose value on admission is associated with collateral flow in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients.

Association of total serum antioxidant capacity with the Tei index in echocardiography in patients with microvascular angina.

Objectives: Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is a condition characterized by exercise-induced chest pain that occurs considering a normal coronary angiogram. We aimed to investigate the total serum antioxidant capacity (TAC) and biventricular global functions using echocardiography in patients with CSX.

Patients And Methods: The study population included 55 patients with typical anginal symptoms and a positive exercise stress test, or ischemia in myocardial perfusion scintigraphy and normal coronary arteries detected angiographically, and 49 healthy volunteers with atypical chest pain and a negative stress test.

The effect of emotional status and health-related quality of life on the severity of coronary artery disease.

Background: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the most common form of heart disease and a leading cause of death worldwide. Extensive clinical and statistical studies have identified several factors that increase the risk of CAD and myocardial infarction.

Aim: To investigate the relationship between severity of CAD, anxiety, depression, and health-related quality of life (HRQoL).

Duration of migraine is associated with cardiac diastolic dysfunction.

Objective: Migraine is a common type of headache accompanied or preceded by signs of central and autonomic nervous system dysfunction. Autonomic dysfunction has been suggested to be a potential contributor to impaired cardiac diastolic function. Cardiac diastolic dysfunction is characterized by normal left ventricular contractility but impaired ventricular relaxation.

Factors associated with increased carotid intima-media thickness and being nondipper in nonobese and normotensive young patients affected by PCOS.

Polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by chronic unovulation, hyperandrogenism, and insulin resistance. We evaluated factors that affect "nondipper" status during 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) in PCOS. Forty-two nonobese women newly diagnosed as PCOS and 32 healthy women were included.
