Arrhythmogenic Evidence for Epicardial Adipose Tissue: Heart Rate Variability and Turbulence are Influenced by Epicardial Fat Thickness
Balcioglu, Akif Serhat; Cicek, Davran; Akinci, Sinan; Eldem, Halil Olcay; Bal, Ugur Abbas; Okyay, Kaan; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (2015)BackgroundEpicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a local source of various hormones, cytokines, and vasoactive substances affecting the myocardium. EAT contains abundant ganglionic plexi that interact with the autonomic nervous ... -
Cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction detected by both heart rate variability and heart rate turbulence in prediabetic patients with isolated impaired fasting glucose
Balcioglu, Akif Serhat; Akinci, Sinan; Cicek, Davran; Coner, Ali; Bal, Ugur Abbas; Muderrisoglu, Ibrahim Haldun (2016)Objective: Cardiac autonomic nervous dysfunction (CAND), a severe complication of diabetes, has also been shown to affect prediabetic patients. The role of isolated impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG), a subtype of ... -
Comparison of Carvedilol and Metoprolol for Preventing Contrast-Induced Nephropathy after Coronary Angiography
Yilmaz, Mustafa; Aydinalp, Alp; Okyay, Kaan; Tekin, Abdullah; Bal, Ugur Abbas; Bayraktar, Nilufer; Yildirir, Aylin; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (2015)Aims: Contrast-induced nephropathy (CIN) is one of the most common causes of hospital-acquired acute renal failure. Oxidative stress and vasoconstriction might play key roles in its pathogenesis. In a few experimental ... -

Bal, Ugur Abbas; Yildirir, Aylin; Aydinalp, Alp; Kaynar, Gamze; Kanyilmaz, Suleyman; Murat, Koza; Muderrisoglu, Ibrahim Haldun (2014)Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the factors associated with coronary stent restenosis and if there is an association between plasma asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) levels and stent restenosis. Methods: ... -
The effect of raloxifene on left ventricular hypertrophy in postmenopausal women: A prospective, randomized, and controlled study
Bal, Ugur Abbas; Atar, Ilyas; Oktem, Mesut; Zeyneloglu, Hulusi Bulent; Yildirir, Aylin; Kuscu, Esra; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (2015)Objective: In healthy women, there is a progressive age-related increase in myocardial mass that is not seen in their male counterparts and occurs primarily in postmenopausal women. Raloxifene is a selective estrogen ... -
Epicardial adipose tissue thickness and plasma homocysteine in patients with metabolic syndrome and normal coronary arteries
Balcioglu, Akif Serhat; Durakoglugil, Murtaza Emre; Cicek, Davran; Bal, Ugur Abbas; Boyaci, Bulent; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (2014)Background: Increased epicardial adipose tissue thickness and plasma homocysteine levels are associated with Metabolic Syndrome (MS) and coronary artery disease. The majority of patients with MS have subclinical or manifest ... -
Is there a relationship between resistin levels and left ventricular end-diastolic pressure?
Yildirir, Aylin; Yildirim, Ozge Turgay; Sade, Leyla Elif; Hasirci, Senem Has; Kozan, Hatice; Ozcalik, Emre; Okyay, Kaan; Bal, Ugur Abbas; Aydinalp, Alp; Muderrisoglu, Haldun (2018)Objective: Resistin, a cysteine-rich peptide, is associated with atherosclerosis and diabetes. Resistin levels increase corresponding to coronary artery disease (CAD) and heart failure severity. Since resistin level tends ... -
