Article Synopsis
- Acute ischemic stroke (AIS) is a serious complication in COVID-19 patients, with a study showing it occurred in 2.31% of hospitalized patients, primarily affecting older individuals with existing health issues.
- The study analyzed 693 COVID-19 patients from April 2020 to February 2021, revealing that many AIS cases arose within the first 24 hours, led by total anterior circulation infarction and cardioembolic causes.
- Patients with AIS had a higher prevalence of hypertension and heart disease, with a significant mortality rate, highlighting the need for awareness and monitoring for stroke risks in COVID-19 cases, particularly in older adults.

Objective: Aortic rupture is a rare and catastrophic emergency. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are the primary determinants of mortality. During follow-up, the majority of patients who have been effectively treated die from hypovolemic shock and multiorgan failure.

This study aims to evaluate the impact of TAVI on MR and TR, pulmonary hypertension, and reverse cardiac remodeling in these patients. Methods: Out of 240 patients who underwent TAVI, 79 who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were analyzed.

This study was conducted to determine some demographic and radiological measurement parameters that can predict treatment options in patients with odontoid fractures.
Materials And Methods: The patients were separated into the surgery (-) group ( = 9) and the surgery (+) group ( = 10).
Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a common genetic heart disease and up to 40%-60% of patients have mutations in cardiac sarcomere protein genes. This genetic diagnosis study aimed to detect pathogenic or likely pathogenic sarcomeric and non-sarcomeric gene mutations and to confirm a final molecular diagnosis in patients diagnosed with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Methods: A total of 392 patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy were included in this nationwide multicenter study conducted at 23 centers across Türkiye.
