Objective: Catheter ablation procedure may cause retinal complications associated with the risk of thromboembolism. We aimed to evaluate retina and optic disc microvascularity with optical coherence tomography angiography before and after the catheter ablation process in patients with ventricular arrhythmia.
Methods: A total of 40 eyes of 21 ventricular arrhythmia patients were included in this cross-sectional study.
Background: Chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) is one of the most life-restricting coronary artery diseases, and symptom relief is the main goal in CCS patients who suffer from angina.
Objectives: To assess the potential benefits of device-guided breathing in CCS patients with angina in this randomized, controlled, single-blinded study.
Methods: Fifty-one patients with CCS received device-guided breathing for 7 days/8 weeks.
Background: Although it is known that the left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF) measured by echocardiography is preserved in patients with acromegaly, there is not enough information about the LV and left atrial strain (LV-GLS and LAS).
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the left ventricular (LV) and left atrial (LA) functions with strain echocardiography (SE) in patients with acromegaly.
Methods: This study included 50 acromegaly patients with active disease and 50 healthy controls with similar age, gender, and body surface area.
Purpose: The correct estimation of accessory pathway (AP) localization from surface ECG is critical before the procedure. Our study aimed to detect the predictive value of the V1r + DIIq criterion for differentiating right- from left-sided paraseptal APs.
Methods: We retrospectively included 58 patients with (Wolff-Parkinson-White) WPW syndrome and paraseptal APs who underwent successful catheter ablation (37 male, 21 female; mean age 34.
