2. | Increased apolipoprotein A-I levels mediate the development of prehypertension among Turks Altan Onat, Günay Can, Ender Örnek, Gökhan Çiçek, Sani N. Murat, Hüsniye Yüksel PMID: 23591583 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.106 Pages 306 - 314 Objective: We aimed to assess whether apolipoprotein (apo) A-I levels that generated type-2 diabetes and coronary disease among Turks contribute to prehypertension and hypertension. Methods: A population-based sample of 2207 adults (mean age 53±11 years) was studied prospectively over a 6.5 years’ follow-up. Individuals with hypertension and/or prehypertension were excluded at baseline. Results: At baseline, levels of apoA-I increased in each sex, from the normotensive to prehypertensive and hypertensive group (by mean 7.6 mg/dL, p<0.001) concomitantly with age, waist circumference, fasting triglycerides, apoB, C-reactive protein (CRP) and homeostasis model assessment. In logistic regression models, adjusted for confounders comprising waist circumference or triglycerides, prehypertension was predicted independently by apoA-I at RRs of 1.23 (95%CI 0.97; 1.52)] or 1.32 (95%CI 1.04; 1.74), respectively. Despite showing a positive association, apoA-I did not independently predict in similar models the development of hypertension; the determinants were rather waist circumference, or fasting triglycerides or CRP [RR 1.16 (95%CI 1.05; 1.28)] and, in women, diabetes. In a linear regression analysis for circulating apoA-I including 10 variables, apoB and in men systolic blood pressure were positively associated. Conclusion: In contributing to prehypertension, the pro-inflammatory apoA-I, mediated by apoB, is independent of triglyceridemia. Other inflammatory processes conjointly are likely mechanistically involved in the development of hypertension in a population with prevalent metabolic syndrome. |
3. | A new index (CHOLINDEX) in detecting coronary artery disease risk Onur Akpınar, Abdi Bozkurt, Esmeray Acartürk, Gülşah Şeydaoğlu PMID: 23531868 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.098 Pages 315 - 319 Objective: Coronary artery disease (CAD) risk increases with the elevation of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), triglyceride (TG) and low level high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) levels. However, the magnitude at which CAD risk increases with every lipid parameter is controversial. We developed a new index called CHOLINDEX, in order to evaluate CAD risk, and investigated its reliability. Methods: Three hundred and seven patients (190 males and 117 females, aged between 26-80 years, mean 53.6±10.2 years) who underwent diagnostic coronary angiography were included in the study. Risk factors and lipid profiles of all patients were noted. CHOLINDEX was calculated by using a formula as follows: CHOLINDEX=LDL-C–HDL-C (TG < 400 mg/dL), LDL-C–HDL-C + 1/5 of TG (TG ≥ 400mg/dL). Results: Of the 307 patients, 180 had CAD. We found that age, male gender, hypertension, diabetes mellitus, smoking and CHOLINDEX were independent predictors of CAD. The logistic regression analysis showed that the CHOLINDEX had a much more significant relation with CAD (odds ratio=1.011, 95% CI=1.003-1.019) compared with other lipid parameters. Conclusion: CHOLINDEX is a simple index which can be used reliably in prediction of CAD like other lipid parameters in daily clinical practice. |
4. | Epicardial adipose tissue is independently associated with increased left ventricular mass in untreated hypertensive patients: an observational study Turan Erdoğan, Mustafa Çetin, Sinan Altan Kocaman, Murtaza Emre Durakoğlugil, Elif Ergül, Yavuz Uğurlu, Aytun Çanga PMID: 23531869 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.099 Pages 320 - 327 Objective: Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) secretes various inflammatory mediators and growth factor, and has endocrine and paracrine effects on myocardium and body. We planned the present study in order to evaluate the possible relationship between EAT and left ventricular mass (LVM), a potent predictor of cardiovascular mortality and morbidity, independent of age, blood pressure and the metabolic parameters in patients with hypertension (HT). Methods: The present study was cross-sectional and observational, including consecutive 107 untreated essential hypertensive patients who underwent a complete transthoracic echocardiographic examination as well as measurements of LVM and EAT. Blood pressure, routine blood chemistry, C-reactive protein, and patient characteristics were also recorded. Univariate and then multiple linear regression analyses were used for analysis of independent variables associated with EAT. Results: LVM significantly correlated with waist circumference, EAT, glucose, uric acid, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol, and systolic and diastolic blood pressure. When we divided study population into two groups according to median mean blood pressure (BP) (Mean BP ≤116 vs. >116 mmHg), EAT was the only associated factor for LVM in patients below median BP (Beta: 0.518, p<0.001). Linear regression analyses revealed EAT to be independently associated with LVM (Beta: 0.419; p<0.001) and LVM index (Beta: 0.384, p<0.001) as well as high-density lipoprotein (Beta: -0.264, p=0.006). Conclusion: EAT was related to increased LVM independent of BMI, waist circumference, weight, systolic and diastolic blood pressure and other risk parameters, in patients with HT. Determination of increased EAT by echocardiography may have an additional value as an indicator of cardiovascular risk and total visceral adipose tissue |
5. | Subclinical left ventricular systolic dysfunction in patients with mild-to-moderate rheumatic mitral stenosis and normal left ventricular ejection fraction: an observational study Özlem Yıldırımtürk, Fatma Funda Helvacıoğlu, Yelda Tayyareci, Selen Yurdakul, Saide Aytekin PMID: 23531870 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.100 Pages 328 - 336 Objective: Mitral valve stenosis (MS) remains as an important cause of morbidity despite evolution in diagnosis and treatment. Generally, left ventricular (LV) systolic functions are well preserved in patients with MS. However, there are some studies showing impaired LV systolic functions in patients with pure MS. The purpose of this study was to evaluate subclinical LV systolic dysfunction in a cohort of isolated mild-to-moderate MS patients with normal LV ejection fraction (EF) by using tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and velocity vector imaging (VVI) techniques. Methods: Fifty patients with isolated mild-to-moderate MS (84% female, mean age 49.1±10.0 years) and 60 healthy subjects (76.7% female, mean age 49.1±10.5) were included in this cross-sectional observational study. Conventional echocardiography, TDI, strain (S) and strain rate (SRs) analysis were performed in all patients. Results: Transmitral mean pressure gradient was 6.4±3.0 mmHg and mean mitral valve area was 1.45±0.36 cm2 in patients with MS. Both longitudinal and circumferential S and SRs were significantly reduced in patients with MS (p<0.001). TDI-derived parameters myocardial acceleration during isovolumic contraction (IVA) and peak velocity during systolic ejection (Sa) were also significantly decreased in patients with isolated MS (p<0.001). LV ejection fraction (EF) was not correlated with deformation indices. Deformation parameters were not correlated with transmitral gradient or mitral valve area. Conclusion: VVI-derived deformation parameters may identify subclinical systolic dysfunction in patients with isolated MS with normal EF. These findings may give way to optimal timing for mitral valve surgery. |

7. | Atrial Fibrillation in Turkey: Epidemiologic Registry (AFTER) study design Faruk Ertaş, Hasan Kaya, Mehmet Serdar Soydinç, Mehmet Sıddık Ülgen, Murat Yüksel, Sait Alan PMID: 23395707 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.073 Pages 339 - 343 Objective: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is an important health problem in Turkey. However, no prospective, multicenter, large trial reflecting national data has been published so far. Therefore, the aim of this study was to follow, analyze and evaluate patients with AF in a large multicenter nation-wide trial. Methods: Two thousand three hundred consecutive patients with AF in their electrocardiogram, reflecting all the population of seven geographical regions of Turkey will be included in the study. The patients will be followed up for two years and death, transient ischemic attack, stroke, systemic thromboembolism, major bleeding, hospitalization will be recorded as the primary end-point. Results: Will be available at the end of the study; preliminary results will be due December 2012. Conclusion: General risk profile of patients with AF, frequency of anticoagulation, frequency of effective treatment and risks of bleeding will be evaluated according to the current guidelines. Major adverse events and their independent predictors will be determined. |
8. | Role of electrocardiographic changes in discriminating acute or chronic right ventricular pressure overload Mehmet Mustafa Can, Olcay Özveren, Murat Biteker, Cihan Şengül, Ömer Uz, Zafer Işılak, Ata Kırılmaz PMID: 23531871 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.101 Pages 344 - 349 Objective: Pulmonary embolism (PE) and severe pulmonary stenosis (PS) are two distinct conditions accompanied by increased pressure load of the right ventricle (RV). Despite major advances in our understanding of the mechanisms of RV adaptation to the increased pressure, substantial gaps in our knowledge remain unsettled. One of much less known aspect of pressure overload of RV is its impact on electrocardiographic (ECG) changes. In this study, we aimed to study whether acute and chronic RV overload are accompanied by different ECG patterns. Methods: Thirty-eight patients with PE underwent ECG monitoring were compared with 20 matched patients with PS in this observational retrospective study. ECG abnormalities suggestive of RV overload were recorded and analyzed in both groups. Logistic regression analysis was used to define the predictors of chronic RV overload. Results: Among the ECG changes studied, premature atrial contraction (OR-12.2, 95% CI, 1.3-107, p=0.008), right axis deviation (OR-20.4, 95% CI 4.2-98, p<0.001), indeterminate axis (OR-0.11, 95% CI 0.02-0.44, p=0.001 0.11), incomplete right bundle branch block (OR-4.2, 95% CI, 1.1-15.4, p=0.02), late R in aVR (OR-8.4, 95% CI 2.1-33.2, p=0.001), qR in V1 lead (OR-8.3, 95% CI 1.2-74.8, p=0.03) were found to be the independent predictors of chronic RV pressure overload. Conclusion: Our data indicate that the ECG changes that attributed to the acute RV pressure loading states may be more prevalent in chronic RV overload as compared with acute RV overload. |
9. | The role of tenascin-C and oxidative stress in rheumatic and congenital heart valve diseases: an observational study Zehra Karataş, Tamer Baysal, Fatih Sap, Hakan Altın, Hümeyra Çiçekler PMID: 23531872 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.102 Pages 350 - 356 Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of tenascin-C (TnC) and total oxidant-antioxidant status to rheumatic or congenital heart valve diseases (HVD) in pediatric patients. Methods: Fifty pediatric patients (25 rheumatic HVD patients and 25 congenital HVD patients) and 20 healthy age-matched control subjects, aged 3-17 years, were enrolled in this observational and cross-sectional study. Serum total antioxidant capacity (TAC), total oxidant status (TOS), oxidative stress index (OSI) and TnC levels were compared among the groups. ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis tests were used for statistical analysis. Results: Serum TnC level of the patients with rheumatic HVD [median 9.09 (0.94-46.30) ng/mL] was significantly higher than both congenital HVD and control groups [median 2.97 (0.66 - 11.80) ng/mL; p<0.01, 4.72±1.77 ng/mL; p<0.05, respectively]. However, there was no statistically significant difference between the congenital and control groups in terms of serum TnC level. The levels of serum TAC, TOS and OSI were found to be statistically similar in all groups. In addition, there were no correlations between the level of TnC, and TOS and OSI. Conclusion: Tenascin-C can be used as a biochemical marker in the differential diagnosis of rheumatic and congenital HVD. As the oxidant and antioxidant systems were found to be in equilibrium in rheumatic and congenital HVD, oxidative stress can be thought not to have a marked role in the etiopathogenesis of rheumatic HVD during childhood. |
10. | Relationship of paraoxonase-1, malondialdehyde and mean platelet volume with markers of atherosclerosis in familial Mediterranean fever: an observational study Özlem Karakurt Arıtürk, Kemal Üreten, Münevver Sarı, Nuray Yazıhan, Ezgi Ermiş, İmge Ergüder PMID: 23531873 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.103 Pages 357 - 362 Objective: There are many studies demonstrating deteriorated ventricle and endothelium functions in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) patients. As FMF is an autoinflammatory disease with an ongoing inflammatory activity and inflammation plays an important role in the development and progression of atherosclerosis in some of the rheumatic diseases, we aimed to investigate the early markers of atherosclerosis in patients with FMF by the measurements of serum paraoxonase-1 (PON-1) activity, mean platelet volume (MPV) and malondialdehyde (MDA) level. Methods: This study is a cross-sectional, observational study. Forty consecutive patients with FMF and twenty healthy volunteers were selected to form the study population. The diagnosis of FMF was based on Tel-Hashomer criteria. Serum PON-1 activity, MPV and MDA level were determined to examine their association with FMF. Student’s t-test, Mann-Whitney U test, Pearson correlation analysis were used for statistical analysis. Results: The mean PON-1 activity in FMF patients was significantly lower than in the healthy population (141.46±38.29 vs. 179.62±10.73 U/l, p<0.01). Serum MDA levels were the same between the groups (1.08±0.66 vs. 1.08±0.33 nmol/mL, p=0.99). MPV was higher in FMF patients than in the control l group (8.87±0.99 vs. 8.22±0.45 fl, p=0.04). PON, MPV and MDA levels were the same in FMF patients with acute attack and attack -free period. Conclusion: : Our results show that PON-1 activity is lower in patients with FMF. Reduced PON-1 activity and increased MPV, independent of the oxidative stress status of these patients, may lead to increased atherosclerotic propensity in FMF. |
11. | Thyroid functions after contrast agent administration for coronary angiography: a prospective observational study in euthyroid patients Sevil Özkan, Aslıhan Semiz Oysu, Kadir Kayataş, Refik Demirtunç, Mehmet Eren, Hatice Uslu, Yüksel Altuntaş PMID: 23618994 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.134 Pages 363 - 369 Objective: This study aims to investigate long-term effects of iodinated radiographic contrast media used for coronary angiography (CAG) on the thyroid function in euthyroid patients. Methods: In a prospective observational cohort study, nonionic iodinated contrast material was electively used in 101 patients for coronary angiography. The patients were recruited without age restrictions and, at baseline, all had normal levels of free triiodothyronine (FT3), free thyroxine (FT4) and thyrotropin (TSH). The morphology of the thyroid was evaluated by thyroid ultrasonography (USG). Four and eight weeks after CAG, serum TSH, FT3 and FT4 levels were assessed. Results: Compared to a mean baseline level of 1.49 (25%-75%, range 13-2.21), follow-up TSH levels decreased significantly to 1.45 (25%-75%, range 1.98-0.92, p=0.017) and 1.40 (25%-75%, range 1.89-0.87, p=0.003) at 4 weeks and 8 weeks, respectively (p=0.008). No significant diffe-rence was observed in TSH levels between the 4th and 8th weeks (p=0.833). Conclusion: Iodinated radiographic contrast agents may cause subclinical hyperthyroidism in euthyroid patients undergoing CAG. |

12. | Aspirin resistance: Where are we now? Okay Abacı, Kadriye Orta Kılıçkesmez PMID: 23591584 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.107 Pages 370 - 373 Aspirin is an effective antiplatelet drug for preventing thrombo-embolic vascular events. However, clinical and laboratory evidence demonstrates diminished or no response to aspirin in some patients that is called aspirin resistance. This situation has been reported to be independently associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events. The exact mechanism of aspirin resistance has not been established yet. The clinical, pharmacological and genetic factors may be associated with aspirin resistance. However, there is not currently standardized test to the diagnosis and no proven effective treatment of aspirin resistance. This article summarizes aspirin resistance, discussing its definition, clinical outcomes, laboratory tests, possible causes and therapeutic approaches. |
13. | Cardiac computed tomography and radiation Burak Sezenöz, Asife Şahinarslan PMID: 23591585 doi: 10.5152/akd.2013.108 Pages 374 - 378 With the recent technological developments, computed tomography is becoming more important in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. However, potential complications of the radiation dose used during the test have led debates. In the current situation, the data about undesirable effects of radiation dose used in cardiac computed tomography is not clear. In this paper, we reviewed the data about computed tomography and the risk of radiation. In order to reduce the risk of radiation due to computed tomography, the test should be performed with proper indication and in suitable patients. Besides, recently developed radiation dose reduction technologies and patient specific protocols have significantly reduced the radiation exposure. The clinicians should be well informed about the radiation reduction techniques and aware of the technical capabilities in their hospital. |

Until recently, vitamin K antagonists (VKA) such as warfarin were the only available oral anticoagulant therapy for prevention of stroke and systemic embolism in AF. Limitations of VKA therapy have prompted researchers to search for novel anticoagulant drugs, which do not necessitate coagulation monitoring due to their more predictable pharmacokinetic profile. Large-scale phase III trials have been completed for some of these drugs and ‘U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA)’ approved dabigatran and rivaroxaban for prevention of systemic embolism in non-valvular AF patients. In this review, we will first focus on pharmacodynamic and pharmacokinetic profiles of these medications and then try to overview clinical trial results. We will also try to mention the current controversies regarding the clinical application of these drugs. |
