Electrocardiographic Prognostic Marker in Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension: RS Time.

Background: Pulmonary hypertension is a condition that involves the remodeling of the right ventricle. Ongoing remodeling is also associated with disease prognosis. During the restructuring process, complex changes such as hypertrophy and dilatation may also be reflected in electrocardiographic parameters.

The importance of SII and FIB-4 scores in predicting mortality in idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis patients.

Introduction: Quick and simple parameters are needed to predict mortality in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). In this way, risky patients will have the opportunity to receive early and effective treatment. In this study, we examined whether the Fibrosis-4 index (FIB-4) and systemic immune inflammation index (SII) are associated with mortality in IPF patients.
