Article Synopsis
- Heart Rate Variability (HRV) is a measure of heart's autonomic regulation and its impact on patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) was studied to assess short-term prognosis.
- The study involved 64 PH patients and 69 healthy controls, utilizing Holter-ECG for HRV assessment, and monitored adverse events over six months, revealing significant reductions in HRV metrics among PH patients.
- Findings showed a notable correlation between the reduced HRV indices and adverse outcomes, including hospitalization and mortality, indicating HRV as a potential prognostic tool for assessing risks in PH patients.
Comparing 5-year Outcomes of Aorta-Coronary Bypass Surgery and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Performed with New-Generation Drug-Eluting Stents in Non-Diabetic Patients with Multivessel Acute Coronary Syndrome Patients and Intermediate Syntax Score.

Objective: Our main objective is to determine the difference between patients undergoing CABG and PCI with new-generation drug-eluting stents who were non-diabetic during the course of a multivessel acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and intermediate SYNTAX score.
Methods: Between 2012 and 2014, we retrospectively evaluated 1011 non-diabetic patients with ACS in a single center. The patients were followed up up to 5-years.
Objective: Though epidemiological data suggest that an elevated triglyceride (TG) level may be a risk factor for coronary artery disease (CAD), there is still insufficient clinical evidence. This study was designed to evaluate the real-life efficacy and side effects of fibrate treatment for hypertriglyceridemia seen in a lipid clinic, as well as cardiovascular and diabetic outcomes.
Methods: This retrospective study evaluated patients who were followed-up for a diagnosis of hypertriglyceridemia at the lipid outpatient clinic of the Ege University Cardiology Department between 1997 and 2018.
