    Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitoring Could Unmask Hypertension in Patients with Psoriasis Vulgaris
    (2013-10-29) BACAKSIZ, AHMET; Erdogan, Ercan; Sonmez, Osman; Sevgili, Emrah; Tasal, Abdurrahman; ONSUN, NAHİDE; Topukcu, Bugce; Kulac, Beytullah; UYSAL, ÖMER; Goktekin, Omer; BACAKSIZ, AHMET; ONSUN, NAHIDE; UYSAL, ÖMER
    Background: Psoriasis vulgaris is one of the most prevalent chronic, inflammatory skin disorders. Patients with psoriasis have excess risk of essential hypertension. Masked hypertension (MH), defined as normal office blood pressure (BP) with elevated ambulatory BP (ABPM), has been drawing attention recently due to its association with increased risk of developing sustained hypertension, cardiovascular morbidity, and mortality. The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of MH in psoriatic patients. Material and Methods: On hundred and ten middle-aged, normotensive, non-obese patients with psoriasis vulgaris and 110 age- and sex-matched normotensive controls were included in the study. ABPM was performed in all participants over a 24-h period. The clinical severity of the disease was determined according to current indexes. Results: The prevalence of MH among subjects with psoriasis vulgaris was 31.8% and increased compared to control subjects (p<0.01). Predictors of MH in patients with psoriasis vulgaris were detected as male sex, smoking, obesity-related anthropometric measures, and disease activity. Male sex, waist circumference, and diffuse psoriatic involvement were detected as independent predictors of MH. Conclusions: MH is prevalent in patients with psoriasis vulgaris. Assessment with ABPM and close follow-up for development of hypertension is reasonable.

    High SYNTAX score predicts worse in-hospital clinical outcomes in patients undergoing primary angioplasty for acute myocardial infarction
    (2012-12-01T00:00:00Z) Kul, Seref; Akgul, Ozgur; Uyarel, Huseyin; Ergelen, Mehmet; Kucukdagli, Okkes T.; Tasal, Abdurrahman; Erdogan, Ercan; BACAKSIZ, AHMET; Sonmez, Osman; Gul, Mehmet; Uslu, Nevzat; Goktekin, Omer; BACAKSIZ, AHMET
    Objective A high SYNTAX score (SXscore) is a predictor of adverse outcomes for stable and unstable coronary syndromes. We aimed to examine whether a high SXscore will determine in-hospital clinical outcomes in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention.

    Comparison of single-dose and repeated levosimendan infusion in patients with acute exacerbation of advanced heart failure
    (2014-02-01T00:00:00Z) Tasal, Abdurrahman; DEMİR, MESUT; KANADAŞI, MEHMET; BACAKSIZ, AHMET; Vatankulu, Mehmet Akif; Sahin, Durmus Yildiray; Eker, Rabia Akilli; BOZKURT, ABDİ; Acarturk, Esmeray; BACAKSIZ, AHMET
    Background: Levosimendan (LS) is a novel inodilator that improves cardiac performance, central hemodynamics, and symptoms of patients with decompensated chronic heart failure. The aim of this study was to compare the effects of single and repeated LS infusion on left ventricular performance, biomarkers, and neurohormonal activation in patients with acute heart failure.

    Serum gamma-glutamyl transferase levels and in-hospital mortality in patients with acute heart failure
    (2014-01-01T00:00:00Z) Turfan, Murat; Tasal, Abdurrahman; Erdogan, Ercan; Vatankulu, Mehmet Akif; Jafarov, Parviz; Sonmez, Osman; Ertas, Gokhan; BACAKSIZ, AHMET; Ergelen, Mehmet; Goktekin, Omer; BACAKSIZ, AHMET
    Background: Acute heart failure (AHF) is a major cause of hospitalisation, morbidity and mortality worldwide. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is an enzyme responsible for the extracellular catabolism of antioxidant glutathione and a potential risk indicator of cardiac mortality. Limited data exists on the prognostic value of circulating levels of GGT in patients hospitalised due to AHF.

    Does Spironolactone Have a Dose-Dependent Effect on Left Ventricular Remodeling in Patients with Preserved Left Ventricular Function After an Acute Myocardial Infarction?
    (2013-08-01T00:00:00Z) Vatankulu, Mehmet Akif; BACAKSIZ, AHMET; Sonmez, Osman; Alihanoglu, Yusuf; KOÇ, FATİH; DEMİR, KENAN; Gul, Enes Elvin; Turfan, Murat; Tasal, Abdurrahman; Kayrak, Mehmet; Yazici, Mehmet; ÖZDEMİR, KURTULUŞ; BACAKSIZ, AHMET
    Aims The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of spironolactone on left ventricular (LV) remodeling in patients with preserved LV function following acute myocardial infarction (AMI).
