Effect of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors on coronary blood flow in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective: Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is known to be associated with endothelial dysfunction (ED). Reducing ED can attenuate the occurrence of cardiovascular diseases. One of the indicators of ED is decreased coronary blood flow (CBF).

Pulmonary hypertension in Behçet's disease: echocardiographic screening and multidisciplinary approach.

Background: Little is known about the prevalence and causes of pulmonary hypertension (PH) in Behçet's disease (BD). This study was conducted to determine the prevalence and causes of PH in BD.

Methods: In this descriptive study, we screened 154 patients with BD for PH using transthoracic echocardiography between February 2017 and October 2017.

Role of echocardiography on early diagnosis of atrial remodelling and fibrosis in elite athletes.

There is emerging data indicating that long-standing vigorous exercise may be associated with atrial structural remodelling. This remodelling process is may be the cause of the increasing frequency of atrial arrythmias in athletes. Early diagnosis of atrial remodelling by atrial imaging could have a role in management of atrial arrythmias in elite athletes.

The value of NT-pro-brain natriuretic peptide and left ventricular ejection fraction for prediction of premature ventricular complexes burden.

Objective: We aimed to investigate the relation of NT-pro BNP level and left ventricular ejection fraction with premature ventricular complex burden.

Patients And Methods: A total of 94 patients with PVC burden > 5% (age 45.9+12.
