objective(s):biochemical markers are important for the timely diagnosis and follow-up of ischemic events. most of the markers have been previously studied in the context of cardiac ischemia. however, research on markers of non-cardiac events has been insufficient. therefore, we investigated the relationship between troponin and myoglobin which are commonly used markers of cardiac ischemia, in n...

Abstract Introduction: Occurrence of cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction are two main deleterious events that are caused by ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury in the heart. Cardiac preconditioning represents the most potent method of rescuing heart tissue from undergoing irreversible ischemic damage. The aim of the present study was to evaluate oxytocin (OT) cardioprotective effect...

background: differences in the quantity and distribution of coronary veins between patients with ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy might affect the potential for the left ventricular (lv) lead targeting in patients undergoing cardiac resynchronization therapy (crt). in the current study, we assessed and compared the suitability of the coronary venous system for the lv lead placement in i...

background: various techniques are used in diagnosing cardiac diseases. the electrocardiogram is one of these tools in common use. in this study vectorcardiogram ) vcg ( signals are used as a tool for detection of cardiac ischemia. methods: vcg signals used in this study were obtained form 60 patients suspected to have ischemia disease and 10 normal candidates. verification of the ischemia had ...

objective: the risk of cardiac death in diabetic patients is 3 times more than non-diabetics. but it is not determined who need cardiac screening. about 41% of diabetic patients with silent ischemia are missed. the carotid intima-media thickness (cimt) and ankel brachial index are two independent,simple and non invasive method in vascular complications diagnosis in diabetic patients.the aim of ...

in the current study, effects of acute short term administration of fructose on cardiac arrhythmias and myocardial infarction size following ischemia/reperfusion were investigated in isolated rat heart. the hearts were subjected to 30 min zero flow global ischemia followed by 120 min reperfusion. in the control group, the hearts were perfused by normal drug free krebs-henseleit (k/h) solution t...
