The relationship between QRS-T angle and left ventricular global longitudinal strain in prehypertensive patients.

Background And Aim: This study aims to examine the relationship between the QRS-T angle (QRS-Ta) detected on electrocardiography and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) calculated on echocardiography in prehypertensive patients.

Materials And Methods: A total of 300 patients were included in our study, and the median value of QRS-Ta of the entire population was 27.The patients were divided into two groups (supramedian 148 patients, inframedian 152 patients) according to the median value.

Can HALP score predict post-contrast acute kidney injury and 6-year mortality in patients undergoing endovascular abdominal aneurysm repair?

Background: The aim of this study is to investigate the relationship between HALP score and post-contrast acute kidney injury (PC-AKI) and average 6-year mortality in patients undergoing endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair (EVAR).

Methods: 125 patients who underwent EVAR between January 2015 and December 2020 were included in our study. HALP score was calculated with the formula "hemoglobin × albumin × lymphocyte count/platelet count.

The use of systemic immune-inflammation index to predict new onset atrial fibrillation in the context of acute coronary syndrome.

Aim    The objectives of this study were to determine the relationship between the systemic immune-inflammation index (SII) and new onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), and to assess the use of this relation, if any, to predict NOAF in the context of ACSMaterial and Methods    A total of 622 patients diagnosed with ACS and followed up between September 2019 and September 2021 were included in this study. 35 (5.6 %) of these patients, suffering from NOAF, were designated as the patient group, and the remaining 577 (94.
