Differential expression of hypertension-associated microRNAs in the plasma of patients with white coat hypertension
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2015)
White coat hypertension (WCH) is a high cardiovascular risk condition, and a fundamental understanding of the cause and pathophysiology of the disorder is still lacking. Recent studies demonstrated that microRNAs (miRNAs) ...
Circulating miR-21 and eNOS in subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with hypertension
(Taylor & Francis Inc., 2015)
Objectives: The aim of this study is to evaluate the relationship of miR-21, nitric oxide (NOx) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) with subclinical atherosclerosis in carotid arteries by measuring carotid intima ...
Relationship between blood pressure variability and cognitive function in geriatric hypertensive patients with well-controlled blood pressure
(Springer International Publishing, 2019)
Background: Hypertension is an important risk factor for cardiovascular diseases and cognitive function. Blood pressure (BP) variability has been associated with cognitive dysfunction, but data are sparse regarding the ...
Circulating miR-21 levels in hypertensive patients with asymptomatic organ damage
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 2019-08-29)
Abstract As a modifiable risk factor for cardiovascular disease, presence of hypertension (HT) necessitates the awareness of asymptomatic organ damage (AOD). The aim of this study was to measure plasma micro RNA-21 (miR-21) ...
Value of syntax Score II in prediction of new-onset atrial fibrillation in patients with NSTE-ACS undergoing percutaneous coronary intervention
(SAGE Publications, 2019)
New-onset atrial fibrillation (NOAF) has been associated with poor outcome in patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs). The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between the development of NOAF ...
Predictive clinical factors of chronic peripheral neuropathy induced by oxaliplatin
(Springer Nature Switzerland, 17-01-2020)
Purpose We aimed to identify potential clinical parameters that can be easily obtained by a pre-treatment clinicopathological evaluation and whole blood test to estimate the development of oxaliplatin-induced peripheral ...
Inflammatory markers of contrast - induced nephropathy in patients with acute coronary syndrome
(Wolters Kluwer Health, 10-09-2019)
Objective: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is among the serious complications of invasive cardiovascular procedures that are performed with the administration of contrast agents. We investigated the role of the inflammatory ...
The association between SYNTAX Score II and carotid artery disease severity in patients who underwent coronary artery bypass grafting
(SAGE Publications, 15-08-2019)
The SYNTAX score (SS) and SS II, which include additional clinical parameters, are widely used today for deciding revascularization following coronary angiography. We investigated the association between the presence and ...
The relationship between erectile dysfunction and the Atherogenic Index of Plasma
(Springer Nature, 2019-07-26)
The objective of this study was to compare the Atherogenic Index of Plasma (AIP) values as indicators of subclinical atherosclerosis among 124 patients with erectile dysfunction, which was thought to be vasculogenic and ...
Determining host factors contributing to disease severity in a family cluster of 29 hospitalized SARS‐CoV‐2 patients: Could genetic factors be relevant in the clinical course of COVID‐19?
(Wiley Periodicals, 10.2020)
In this study, we report a large family cluster consisting of 29 genetically related patients hospitalized with coronavirus disease‐2019 (COVID‐19). We sought to determine the clinical characteristics relevant to the ...
