Acute coronary syndrome developed after vincristine administration
Vincristine and doxorubicin are among the most effective chemotherapeutic agents used in the treatment of malignancies in combination per protocols. However, these chemotherapeutic agents possess great risk for development ... -
Assessment of the neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio in young patients with acute coronary syndromes
Öztürk, Serkan; Erdem, Alim; Özlü, Mehmet Fatih; Ayhan, Selim; Erdem, Kemalettin; Özyaşar, Mehmet; Yazıcı, Mehmet (2013)Objectives: It is well known that inflammation plays a key role in both initiation and propagation of acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Detection of subclinical atrial dysfunction by two-dimensional echocardiography in patients with overt hyperthyroidism
Ayhan, Selim; Öztürk, Serkan; Dikbaş, Oğuz; Erdem, Alim; Özlü, Mehmet Fatih; Baltacı, Davut; Alçelik, Aytekin (Elsevier Masson, 2012)Background. - Hyperthyroidism is an important cardiovascular risk factor in the development of atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Increased atrial electromechanical intervals are used to predict atrial fibrillation, ... -
The effects of ivabradine on left atrial electromechanical function in patients with systolic heart failure
Öztürk, Serkan; Öztürk, Selçuk; Erdem, Fatma Hizal; Erdem, Alim; Ayhan, Selim; Dönmez, İbrahim; Yazıcı, Mehmet (Springer, 2016)Aim Heart rate (HR) reduction with ivabradine improves left ventricle filling by the prolongation of the diastolic time and increases stroke volume. But, it remains unclear what ivabradine's effect is on atrial conduction ... -
The effects of ivabradine on left ventricular synchronization and Tei index in patients with systolic heart failure
Erdem, Fatma Hizal; Öztürk, Serkan; Öztürk, Selçuk; Erdem, Alim; Ayhan, Selim (Taiwan Soc Cardiology, 2017)Background: The aim of our study was to evaluate in stable outpatients with systolic heart failure (HF) the 3 months effect of ivabradine on LV synchronization and Tei index in stable outpatients with systolic HF. Methods: ... -
Evaluation of left atrial mechanical functions and atrial conduction abnormalities in patients with clinical hypothyroid
Öztürk, Serkan; Dikbaş, Oğuz; Özyaşar, Mehmet; Ayhan, Selim; Özlü, Fatih; Erdem, Alim; Yazıcı, Mehmet; Alçelik, Aytekin; Tosun, Mehmet (Via Medica, 2012)Background: The aim of this study was to investigate left atrial (LA) mechanical functions, atrial electromechanical delay and P wave dispersion in hypothyroid patients. Methods: Thirty-four patients with overt hypothyroid ... -
Evaluation of left ventricular systolic asynchrony in patients with subclinical hypothyroidism
Öztürk, Serkan; Alçelik, Aytekin; Özyaşar, Mehmet; Dikbaş, Oğuz; Ayhan, Selim; Özlü, Fatih; Erdem, Alim; Yazıcı, Mehmet (Via Medica, 2012)Background: The heart was very sensitive to fluctuating thyroid hormone levels. To assess intra-left ventricular (LV) systolic asynchrony in patients with subclinical thyroid dysfunction. Methods: Fifty patients with ... -
