Öğe The neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio improves the positive predictive value of dobutamine stress echocardiography(E-Century Publishing Corp, 2015) Icli, Abdullah; Kayrak, Mehmet; Akilli, Hakan; Aribas, Alpay; Coskun, Mukremin; Ozer, Sumeyye Fatma; Ozdemir, KurtulusThe neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio (NLR) predicts cardiovascular events. The aim of this study was to determine whether NLR improved the positive predictive value (PPV) of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) in patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). We conducted a retrospective review of laboratory and DSE data from the medical records of 1,012 patients who were divided into two groups according to the presence of ischemia and further subdivided into three groups according to the extent of ischemia (nonischemic segments, 1-3 ischemic segments, or > 3 ischemic segments). NLRs were compared among these groups. NLRs increased in patients with ischemia and correlated with the number of ischemic segments (P < 0.001). The optimal cutoff value of NLR determined using receiver operating characteristic analysis was > 2.04, and the diagnostic value of NLR for discriminating patients with >= 50% coronary stenosis in at least one of the coronary arteries from those without significant CAD was high [area under the curve (AUC) = 0.671, standard error = 0.052, P < 0.001, 95% confidence interval (CI) = 0.569-0.773)]. An NLR cutoff value of > 2.04 predicted CAD presence with significant stenosis (62.10% sensitivity and 64.10% specificity). PPV of DSE for a significant coronary artery lesion identified using coronary angiography was 73.8% (95% CI = 75.1-88.5, P < 0.001, AUC = 0.818). On including a cut-off value of > 2.04 for NLR in this multivariable predictive model, the AUC value slightly increased to 0.905 (95% CI = 85.4-95.6) and PPV of DSE increased from 73.8% to 92.6%. NLR improved PPV of DSE for patients with stable CAD.Öğe Prognostic value of Tpeak-Tend interval in patients with acute pulmonary embolism(Biomed Central Ltd, 2015) Icli, Abdullah; Kayrak, Mehmet; Akilli, Hakan; Aribas, Alpay; Coskun, Mukremin; Ozer, Sumeyye Fatma; Ozdemir, KurtulusBackground: The aim of this study was to examine the Tpeak-Tend (Tpe/corrected Tpe) interval, which is an indicator of transmural myocardial repolarization, measured non-invasively via electrocardiogram in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE), and to investigate the relationship with 30-day mortality and morbidity. Methods: The study included 272 patients diagnosed with acute PE, comprising 154 females and 118 males, with a mean age of 63.1 +/- 16.8 years. Tpe/cTpe intervals were calculated from the electrocardiograms with a computer program after using a ruler or vernier caliper manual measuring tool to obtain highly sensitive measurements. The relationship between the electrocardiogram values and 30-days mortality and morbidity were measured. Results: The study group was divided into three groups according to cTpe intervals: Group 1, < 113 ms; Group 2, 113-133 ms; and Group 3, > 133 ms. White blood cell count and troponin T levels, corrected QT intervals with QRS complex durations, percentage of right ventricle dilatation with right/left-ventricular ratio, 30-day death, and combinations of these values were seen at a higher rate in Group 3 patients compared to the other groups. Kaplan-Meier analysis showed that the cTpe interval measured at > 126 ms could be used as a cut-off value in the prediction of mortality and morbidity. The cTpe cut-off values of 126 ms had sensivity, specificity, negative predictive value, and positive predictive value of 80.56 %, 59.32 %, 95.2 %, and 23.2 %, respectively. Conclusions: cTpe interval could be a useful method in early risk stratification in patients with acute PE.Öğe A rare echocardiographic image of aortic prosthetic valve endocarditis complicated with paravalvular abscess, pseudoaneurysm and aorto-right atrial fistula(Wiley, 2018) Gurbuz, Ahmet Seyfeddin; Alsancak, Yakup; Ozcelik, Abdullah; Ozer, Sumeyye Fatma; Duzenli, Mehmet AkifEarly infectious endocarditis (IE) occurs in 3% of prosthesis in the first 12months. Early IE is more aggressive than late prosthetic valve endocarditis. Mortality remains high, despite combined medical and surgical treatment. We present a case of early IE in aortic prosthetic valve complicated with paravalvular abscess, pseudoaneurysm and aorto- right atrial fistula.Öğe Self-Inflicated Cardiac Injury by Multiple Sewing Needles(Galenos Publ House, 2018) Altinbas, Ozgur; Ozer, Sumeyye Fatma; Seramet, Abdurrahman; Tanyeli, Omer; Gormus, Niyazi[Abstract Not Availabe]
