Prognostic and diagnostic value of moderate intensity stress test with blood pressure control

Diagnostic Value of Mallampati Test in Supine and Sitting Positions with and without Phonation in Anesthesia

Background and purpose: Airway assessment is very important in anesthesia. The aim of this study was to determine the diagnostic value of Mallampati test indicators in supine and sitting positions with and without phonation in anesthesia candidate patients. Materials and methods: This cross-sectional descriptive study (diagnostic approach) was done in 200 adult patients ≥16 years, undergoing s...

Personalizing the Intensity of Blood Pressure Control

Serum sodium levels and blood pressure monitoring in heart failure: Added diagnostic and prognostic value.

Hyponatremia is the electrolyte abnormality most often encountered in patients admitted for heart failure (HF). Its prevalence ranges between 18 and 30%, although it is lower in stable HF outpatients (10-17%). It also varies with the severity and duration of HF, the criteria used to define it, medication prescribed and drug doses, particularly of diuretics. Most studies define hyponatremia as N...

Diagnostic Value of Non-stress Test Interpreted by Smart Interpretive Software

Background and aim: Using appropriate methods for the assessment of fetal health including non-stress test during high-risk pregnancies due to possible placental insufficiency is of paramount importance. Due to complexity in medical decisions, using information systems is being increased to support complex medical decisions. We conducted this study to measure the diagnostic value of non-stress ...

Diagnostic Value of Electrocardiogram in Predicting Exaggerated Blood Pressure Response to Exercise Stress Testing

INTRODUCTION It is believed that an exaggerated blood pressure response (EBPR) to exercise stress test is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular events. It is also assumed that QT dispersion (QT-d), which was originally proposed to measure the spatial dispersion of ventricular recovery times, may have a relationship to cardiovascular events. The objective of this study was to examine t...
