Publication Metadata only Assessment of atrial electromechanical delay and influential factors in patients with obstructive sleep apnea(2012-03-01T00:00:00Z) Yagmur, Julide; YETKİN, ÖZKAN; CANSEL, MEHMET; Acikgoz, NUSRET; ERMİŞ, NECİP; Karakus, Yasin; Tasolar, Hakan; AÇIKGÖZ, NUSRETThe interaction between moderate-to-severe obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and cardiac arrhythmias, especially atrial fibrillation (AF), is well known. We aimed to determine whether atrial electromechanical parameters assessed by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) would be affected in moderate-to-severe OSA, and detect the influential factors of atrial electromechanical parameters in these patients.Publication Metadata only Assessment of atrial conduction time by tissue Doppler echocardiography and P-wave dispersion in smokers(2012-09-01T00:00:00Z) Akturk, Erdal; Yagmur, Julide; Acikgoz, NUSRET; ERMİŞ, NECİP; CANSEL, MEHMET; Karakus, Yasin; Tasolar, Hakan; Eyupkoca, Ferhat; PEKDEMİR, HASAN; AÇIKGÖZ, NUSRETThe aim of this study was to evaluate the relationship between cigarette smoking and atrial rhythm disorders with the use of noninvasive methods.Publication Metadata only Elevated Monocyte to High-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol Ratio and Endothelial Dysfunction in Behcet Disease(2018-01-01T00:00:00Z) Acikgoz, NUSRET; Kurtoglu, Ertugrul; Yagmur, Julide; KAPICIOĞLU, YELDA; CANSEL, MEHMET; ERMİŞ, NECİP; AÇIKGÖZ, NUSRETBehcet disease (BD) is a multisystemic disorder characterized by endothelial dysfunction and inflammation. Monocyte to high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (MHR) is a recently emerged indicator of inflammation and oxidative stress. Sixty patients with BD and 50 control individuals were included to investigate the relationship between MHR and endothelial dysfunction. Endothelial function was assessed by flow- and nitroglycerin-mediated dilatation technique (FMD and NMD, respectively). Serum high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hsCRP) levels were measured in all study participants. The MHR and hsCRP levels were significantly higher in patients with active BD than in controls. Brachial artery FMD was significantly lower in patients with active BD than in controls. Brachial artery NMD was similar between groups. There was a strong inverse correlation between MHR and FMD and a strong positive correlation between MHR and serum hsCRP levels. Thus, elevated MHR may be a useful marker reflecting impaired endothelial function and systemic inflammation in patients with BD.
