Assessment of Subclinical Atherosclerosis by Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness in Prediabetes
(2016)
Impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and impaired glucose intolerance (IGT) are predictors of cardiovascular disease (CVD). We tested the hypothesis that epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT), ...
Three-Dimensional Right Ventricular Strain Versus Volume Quantification in Heart Transplant Recipients in Relation to Pulmonary Artery Pressure
(2017)
Objectives: Residual pulmonary hypertension challenges the right ventricular function and worsens the prognosis in heart transplant recipients. The complex geometry of the right ventricle complicates estimation of its ...
Epicardial Adipose Tissue Thickness and Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Hemodialysis Patients
(2017)
Background: It is well-known that cardiovascular risk and all-cause mortality is increased in hemodialysis patients. Epicardial fat thickness (EFT), which reflects visceral adiposity, has been suggested as a new cardiometabolic ...
Evaluation of Polycystic Ovary Syndrome Patients with Strain Echocardiography
(2015)
Objectives: Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) is characterized by several metabolic abnormalities that may lead to insulin resistance, diabetes, and atherosclerosis which are associated with chronic inflammatory processes ...
Association Between Coronary Flow Reserve and Exercise Capacity
(2015)
Introduction: Reduced exercise capacity is of clinical importance. Sometimes no corresponding cardiovascular disease can be found to explain this condition. We hypothesized that coronary microvascular dysfunction may have ...
