A.; Evliyaogllu, O.; Tekbas, E.; Cil, H.BACKGROUND: Platelets are important in the pathogenesis of atherosclerotic complications. Higher mean platelet volume (MPV) levels are related to greater in vitro aggregation, and have been identified as an independent risk factor for myocardial infarction, and for death or recurrent vascular events. AIM: To determine the relationship between MPV and the coronary collateral circulation. METHODS: The sample consisted of 96 patients with coronary artery disease, and patients were separated into two groups according to their poorly developed or well-developed collateral circulation. Coronary collateral vessels were analyzed according to the Cohen and Rentrop grading system of 0-3. RESULTS: All analyses were conducted using SPSS 11.5 (SPSS for Windows 11.5, Chicago, IL, USA). Continuous variables were expressed as mean +/- SD, and categorical variables were expressed as percentages. Comparison of categorical and continuous variables between the group with well-developed coronary collateral vessels and the group with poorly developed vessels was performed using the chi-squared test and independent samples t-test, respectively. Platelet count and MPV values were similar between the two groups. CONCLUSIONS: Our study found that MPV levels are not related to coronary collateral circulation.Öğe DOUBLE RIGHT CORONARY ARTERY WITH ACUTE INFERIOR WALL MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2011) Acet, H.; Ozyurtlu, F.; Ertas, F.; Bilik, M.

A.; Acet, H.; Bilik, M. Z.; Celepkolu, T.; Yildiz, A.OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at the assessment of the clinical approach to atrial fibrillation (AF) in the older population and the consistency with the guidelines based on the records of the multicenter, prospective AFTER (Atrial Fibrillation in Turkey: Epidemiologic Registry) study. PATIENTS AND METHODS: 2242 consecutive patients admitted to the Cardiology Outpatient Clinics of 17 different tertiary Health Care Centers with at least one AF attack determined on electrocardiographic examination, were included in the study. Among the patients included in the study, 631 individuals aged 75 years and older were analyzed. RESULTS: The mean age of the patients was determined as 80.3 +/- 4.2 years. The most frequent type of AF in geriatric population was the persistent-permanent type with a percentage of 88%. 60% of the patients with AF were female. Hypertension was the most common co-morbidity in patients with AF (76%). While in 16% of patients a history of stroke, transient ischemic attack or systemic thromboembolism was present, a history of bleeding was present in 14% of the patients. 37% of the patients were on warfarin treatment and 60% of the patients were on aspirin treatment. In 38% of the patients who were on oral anticoagulant treatment, INR level was in the effective range. CONCLUSIONS: The rate of anticoagulant use in the elderly with AF was 37% and considering the reason of this situation was the medication not being prescribed by the physician, one should pay more attention particularly in the field of treatment.Öğe Noncompaction of the left ventricular myocardium diagnosed during ventriculography(Verduci Publisher, 2012) Elbey, M.

D.PURPOSE: This study investigated the predictors of poor outcomes, including limb loss and death, in patients with femoral artery injuries. PATIENTS AND METHODS: The study included 158 patients aged 2-82 (mean age 28.4 +/- 16.5) with femoral arterial injury (common, deep, and superficial femoral artery) that were treated surgically between 2000 and 2010. Isolated venous injuries were excluded. Demographic and clinical data of the patients, including age, gender, admission time, pulse rate and blood pressure, hematocrit value, reason of injury, associated injury, and Mangled Extremity Severity Score (MESS) were recorded. RESULTS: Of the 158 patients, the death and amputation rates were 5.7% (9) and 5.1% (8), respectively. In logistic regression analysis, four variables (pulse rate, MESS, hematocrit, and bone trauma) were found to be independent predictors for poor outcomes. The Odd's ratios and confidence interval values of these variables were as follows: 7.24 (1.94-26.92), 21.75 (5.4187.48), 5.93 (3.04-11.54) and 7.46 (2.09-9.56), respectively. CONCLUSIONS: The MESS value, presence of bone fracture, hematocrit, and pulse rate on admission are predictive risk factors for poor outcomes in patients with femoral artery injury. Therefore, in these patients, prompt intervention by experienced surgeons is crucial for limb salvage and decreased mortality.Öğe Relation of interatrial duration and p wave terminal force as a novel indicator of severe mitral regurgitation(Verduci Publisher, 2012) Elbey, M. A.; Oylumlu, M.; Akil, A.; Demirtas, S.; Ertas, F.; Erdogan, E.; Tasal, A.OBJECTIVES: Interatrial duration is defined as prolonged p wave on electrocardiogram. p waves with a negative terminal phase recorded in V1 enclosing an area of one small square on the electrocardiogram is significantly and strongly correlated with interatrial duration. The aim of study was to investigate whether interatrial duration with p terminal force can be used as reflection of echocardiographic severity of mitral regurgitation. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Sixty two consecutive patients with mitral regurgitation. were prospectively studied. Age/gender matched 57 subjects who had normal mitral structure and did not have mitral regurgitation. Patients with mitral regurgitation referred to a single cardiac center for echocardiography and who met the entry criteria documented moderate or severe mitral regurgitation with sinus were included. The interatrial duration was defined on the routine 12-lead electrocardiogram (50 mm/s, 10 mm/mV) using the greatest duration of p waves from D2, D3, AVF and V1. RESULTS: There was a positive correlation between interatrial duration (>= 110 ms) and effective regurgitant orifice (r = 0.3, p < 0.001). However, left atrial diameter and brain natriuretic peptide were significantly higher in cases with mitral regurgitation. There was also strong correlation between interatrial duration (>= 110 ms) and p terminal force and left atrial diameter. ROC analysis revealed that interatrial duration of > 110 msec. could predict of severe mitral regurgitation with 88% sensitivity and 100% specificity. CONCLUSIONS: Severe mitral regurgitation, left atrial diameter was correlated with p terminal force and interatrial duration. Significant interatrial duration (>= 110 ms) and p terminal force might be considered as novel indicators of severe mitral regurgitation.Öğe THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN QT DISPERSION AND EXAGGERATED BLOOD PRESSURE RESPONSE TO EXERCISE STRESS TESTING(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2013) Ertas, F.; Yavuz, C.; Kaya, H.; Karahan, O.; Demirtas, S.; Acet, H.; Oylumlu, M.[Abstract Not Available]Öğe RESOLUTION OF EXTENSIVE CORONARY THROMBOSIS UNDER RIVAROXABAN TREATMENT IN A YOUNG MAN PRESENTED WITH ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME(Elsevier Ireland Ltd, 2015) Yuksel, M.; Yildiz, A.; Tapan, U.; Ertas, F.; Alan, S.[Abstract Not Available]
