Sunman, Hamza; Ozkan, Adem; Yorgun, Hikmet; Canpolat, Ugur; Karabulut, Erdem; Bayrak, Tulin; Kaya, Ergun Baris; Tokgozoglu, Lale; Ozer, Necla; Ozkara, Asuman; Aytemir, Kudret; Oto, Ali (Via Medica, 2018)

Background: Several studies have investigated the effects of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) on heart failure (HF), but none have evaluated the pathophysiological pathways involved in a single group of patients. ...

Effects Of Pacemaker And Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Electrodes On Tricuspid Regurgitation And Right Sided Heart Functions

Arabi, Peyman; Ozer, Necla; Ates, Ahmet Hakan; Yorgun, Hikmet; Oto, Ali; Aytemir, Kudret (Via Medica, 2015)

Background: The aim of this study was to assess the effect of trans-tricuspid placement of permanent pacemaker (PPM), implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) leads prospectively ...

Effects Of Acute Exercise On Fibrinolysis And Coagulation In Patients With Coronary Artery Disease

Acil, Tayfun; Atalar, Enver; Sahiner, Levent; Kaya, Baris; Haznedaroglu, Ibrahim C.; Tokgozoglu, Lale; Ovunc, Kenan; Aytemir, Kudret; Ozer, Necla; Oto, Ali; Ozmen, Ferhan; Nazli, Nasih; Kes, Sirri; Aksoyek, Serdar (Int Heart Journal Assoc, 2007)

Acute physical exertion may trigger an acute coronary syndrome. Furthermore, acute physical exercise may influence hemostatic markers in healthy individuals. However, the effect of acute exercise on blood fibrinolysis and ...

Nonsustained Atrial Fibrillation In Ischemic Stroke Patients And Stroke‐Free Controls From The Perspective Of Stroke Pathophysiology

Yetim, Ezgi; Topcuoglu, Mehmet Akif; Canpolat, Ugur; Gocmen, Rahsan; Oguz, Kader K.; Ozer, Necla; Aytemir, Kudret; Arsava, Ethem Murat (2016)

Background Short‐lasting (<30 s), nonsustained episodes of atrial fibrillation (NS‐AF) are considered a risk factor for future development of paroxysmal or persistent AF. Nonetheless, their causal role in stroke pathogenesis ...

Relationship Between Vitamin D Level and Left Atrial Fibrosis in Patients with Lone Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation Undergoing Cryoballoon-Based Catheter Ablation

Canpolat, Ugur; Aytemir, Kudret; Hazirolan, Tuncay; Ozer, Necla; Oto, Ali (Elsevier Science Bv, 2017)
