Int J Clin Pract

Bağcılar Training and Research Hospital, Department of Cardiology, Bağcılar Center, Mimar Sinan Street, Bağcılar, İstanbul 34100, Turkey.

Background: In patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), a patent infarct-related artery (IRA) on initial angiography is defined as spontaneous reperfusion (SR).

Objective: The present study aimed to determine the impact of lesion complexity and the CHADS-VASc score on SR in patients with STEMI.

Methods: A total number of 1,641 consecutive patients with STEMI undergoing primary PCI were assessed for this study.

Article Synopsis
  • LV thrombus formation is a common issue after anterior myocardial infarction (ANT-MI), and this study aimed to explore how apical longitudinal strain (ALS) relates to LV thrombus presence.
  • The analysis included 211 patients who underwent echocardiography after ANT-MI, revealing that those with LV thrombus had significantly lower measures of apical strain, global longitudinal strain, and ejection fraction compared to those without thrombus.
  • The study concluded that ALS is a reliable predictor of LV thrombus in ANT-MI patients, which could help in early detection and prevention of serious complications like strokes.

Serum Asymmetric Dimethylarginine Levels in Patients with Vasovagal Syncope.

Medicina (Kaunas)

October 2019

Cardiology Department, Bagcilar Training ve Research Hospital, Bagcilar Center, 34100 Istanbul, Turkey.

: Vasovagal syncope (VVS) is the most common cause of syncope and has multiple pathophysiological mechanisms. Asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) is the major inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO). In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between plasma ADMA levels and syncope during the head-up tilt (HUT) test.

This study was performed to evaluate the relationship between the CHA2DS2-VASc score and no-reflow (NR) phenomena in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). A total number of 428 consecutive patients with NSTEMI were assessed for this study. Patients were divided into 2 groups, those with NR, NR(+) (n=84), and those without NR, NR(-) (n=307), according to their post-PCI, no-reflow status.

Multilayer longitudinal strain can help predict the development of no-reflow in patients with acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation.

Int J Cardiovasc Imaging

Cardiology Department, Bagcilar Training Ve Research Hospital, Bagcilar Center, Mimar Sinan street, Bagcilar, 34100, Istanbul, Turkey.

No-reflow (NR) is one of the major complications of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI). We aim to assess the value of multilayer longitudinal strain parameter to predict NR in patients with NSTEMI and preserved ejection fraction. 230 consecutive patients who were admitted to the emergency department and diagnosed with NSTEMI were prospectively included in this study.
