Atrioventricular Block in the Setting of Immune Myocarditis: A Pragmatic Approach to Diagnosis and Treatment.

Immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment in the last decade and has significantly improved patient survival. However, immunotherapy is associated with serious cardiac adverse events including myocarditis and conduction disturbances. In the literature, the mortality rate in patients with immunotherapy-associated myocarditis and complete AV block is reported to be approximately 60%.

The importance of speckle tracking echocardiography in the evaluation of cardiac functions in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to analyze the layer-specific strain values obtained by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) method in the determination of subclinical cardiac dysfunction in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients.

Patients And Methods: Between February 2019 and October 2019, a total of 63 female RA patients (mean age: 51.82±6.

Risk of premature coronary atherosclerosis in patients with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease.

Objective: In the current literature, there are few studies investigating the relationship between premature coronary atherosclerosis and nonalcoholic fatty liver disease. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between nonalcoholic fatty liver disease and premature coronary atherosclerosis.

Methods: In this cross-sectional study, female patients aged <55 years and male patients aged <50 years were enrolled.

Giant Saccular Aneurysm of the Right Coronary Artery.

Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is defined as a segmental coronary dilation that exceeds the diameter of the adjacent normal coronary artery 1.5 times. Its incidence in the general population is between 1.

The etiology and age-related properties of patients with delirium in coronary intensive care unit and its effects on inhospital and follow up prognosis.

Background And Purpose: Delirium is a syndrome frequently encountered in intensive care and associated with a poor prognosis. Intensive care delirium is mostly based on general and palliative intensive care data in the literature. In this study, we aimed to investigate the incidence of delirium in coronary intensive care unit (CICU), related factors, its relationship with inhospital and follow up prognosis, incidence of age-related delirium and its effect on outcomes.

The Effect of Thyroid Stimulating Hormone Level Within the Reference Range on In-Hospital and Short-Term Prognosis in Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients.

Despite being within the normal reference range, changes in thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) levels have negative effects on the cardiovascular system. The majority of patients admitted to hospital with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) are euthyroid. The aim of this study was to investigate the effect of TSH level on the prognosis of in-hospital and follow-up periods of euthyroid ACS patients.
