    Mean platelet volume in functional and thrombotic prosthetic mitral valve
    (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2012) Tekbas, Ebru; Akdemir, Ilyas; Soydinc, Serdar; Alici, Hayri; Yavuz, Fethi; Yuce, Murat; Cakici, Musa
    The mean platelet volume (MPV) values reflect platelet size and are accepted as marker of platelet activation. We sought to test the hypothesis that platelet activation occurs independently from presence or absence of thrombus in prosthetic mitral valve. A total of 168 patients were included in the study. Study participants were divided in three groups: group 1 (n=62) - patients with normal prosthetic mitral valve; group 2 (n=37) - patients with prosthetic mitral valve thrombosis; and group 3 (n=69) - healthy individuals. MPV values were significantly higher in normal and thrombotic prosthetic mitral valve patients than in healthy individuals (P=0.008 and P=0.01, respectively). MPV values were not different between normal prosthetic mitral valve and thrombotic prosthetic mitral valve. This is the first study indicating that increased MPV is present in normal and thrombotic prosthetic mitral valve, implying that platelet reactivity occurs in prosthetic mitral valve irrespective of development of thrombus formation.

    Twin Circumflex Arteries with Left Sinus of Valsalva Origin: A Case Report
    (Thieme Medical Publ Inc, 2011) Tekbas, Ebru Onturk; Cakici, Musa; Yuce, Murat; Alici, Hayri; Davutoglu, Vedat
    Coronary artery anomalies are not uncommon. The importance of coronary anomalies varies from unimportant to life threatening. Herein, we report for the first time twin circumflex coronary arteries originating separately from the left sinus of Valsalva.

    The usefulness of plateletcrit to predict cardiac syndrome X in patients with normal coronary angiogram

    Introduction: Cardiac syndrome X (CSX) is a clinical entity defined as the triad of typical angina pectoris on exercise, electro-cardiographic or metabolic findings of ischemia and normal epicardial coronary arteries. Platelets, whose amount in the blood is indicated with plateletcrit (PCT), play an important role in inflammatory and thrombotic processes and the physiopathology of cardiovascular events. Aim: To investigate the association between cardiac syndrome X and PCT and platelet count. Material and methods: A total of 113 patients with normal coronary angiogram were included in the study. Fifty patients with typical chest pain and evidence of myocardial ischemia in non-invasive tests formed the CSX patient group. The control group consisted of 63 age- and gender-matched patients with normal coronary arteries but without angina. Results: The mean PCT value of the CSX group was significantly higher than that of the control group (0.22 +/- 0.06 vs. 0.19 +/- 0.04; respectively, p = 0.03). Higher PCT was found to be associated with the presence of CSX in patients with normal coronary arteries by multivariate logistic regression analysis. Conclusions: We suggest that high PCT may predict the presence of cardiac syndrome X in patients with normal coronary arteries. The value of PCT appears additive to conventional expensive methods commonly used in CSX prediction.
