Öğe Association of Red Blood Cell Distribution Width with Coronary Artery Calcification(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Gurel, Ozgul Malcok; Bilgic, Ayse; Demircelik, Bora; Gunes, Mahmut; Yilmaz, Omer Caglar; Bozduman, Fadime; Kahyalar, Kemal[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Coronary intervention for acute coronary syndrome in a 51-year-old man with immune thrombocytopenic purpura: A case report(BioMed Central Ltd. info@biomedcentral.com, 2014) Bora Demirçelik, Muhammed; Altinsoy, Meltem; Bozduman, Fadime; Güneş, Mahmut Fatih; Çakmak, Muzaffer; Eryonucu, BeyhanIntroduction. Treatment of the rare cases of patients with chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura with acute coronary syndrome can be a significant problem. The patient in our case report was treated successfully with percutaneous coronary intervention. Case presentation. A 51-year-old man of Turkish origin who had idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura was admitted to our hospital with severe chest pain. His electrocardiography was normal on admission but dynamic ischemic changes were observed during follow-up. He underwent immediate coronary angiography. In his angiography, left anterior descending artery stenosis was 90% together with the diagonal ostium. Percutaneous coronary intervention was performed successfully. Bleeding complications were not observed after the procedure. Conclusions: We report the presence of a rare case of chronic idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura in a patient with acute coronary syndrome. In this situation a serious multidisciplinary approach is required before coronary intervention. © 2014 Demircelik et al.; licensee BioMed Central Ltd. © 2014 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.Öğe Hand and heart, hand in hand: is radiological hand osteoarthritis associated with atherosclerosis?(Wiley, 2014) Cemeroglu, Ozlem; Aydin, Halil I.; Yasar, Zeynep S.; Bozduman, Fadime; Saglam, Mustafa; Selcoki, Yusuf; Eryonucu, BeyhanAimIncreasing evidence suggests that atherosclerosis contributes to the initiation or progression of osteoarthritis (OA). It has been suggested that atherosclerosis may cause vascular insufficiency which may lead to or progress OA. In this study, the association between the severity of radiologic hand OA and atherosclerosis was analyzed in women. MethodsSixty-one women, 50years of age, free of hand symptoms were enrolled in the study. Postero-anterior views of both hands were obtained using digital radiography. A total of 14 joints were assessed for radiographic OA according to Kellgren/Lawrence (K/L) score. An OA-affected joint was defined as K/L score of 2. Hand OA was defined as 3 joints of both hands affected with OA and severity of hand OA was defined as total K/L scores of all 14 joints of both hands. Gensini scoring was used to evaluate the patients for atherosclerosis severity. ResultsThe patient characteristics such as presence of diabetes, smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia and medications used were similar for patients with and without hand OA (P>0.05) and did not correlate with Gensini or hand OA scores. The mean Gensini scores of patients with hand OA was 21.517.1 and without hand OA was 11.8 +/- 9.2 (P=0.017). The degree of osteoarthritic joint involvement and Gensini scores showed a positive correlation (r=0.332, P=0.009). ConclusionHand OA may be a benign clinical finding that may suggest a possible serious underlying atherosclerosis. Patients with significant hand OA should be screened for atherosclerosis to prevent serious coronary artery disease and related comorbidities.Öğe Is Radiological Hand Osteoarthritis Associated with Atherosclerosis?: A Cross-Sectional Study in Turkish Women(Elsevier Science Inc, 2013) Demircelik, Muhammed Bora; Aydin, Halil Ibrahim; Cemeroglu, Ozlem; Yasar, Zeynep Sila; Gurel, Ozgul Malcok; Bozduman, Fadime; Selcoki, Yusuf[Abstract Not Available]Öğe The relationship between 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and ambulatory arterial stiffness index in newly diagnosed and never-treated hypertensive patients(Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2016) Malcok Gurel, Ozgul; Bilgic, Ayse; Demircelik, Bora; Ozaydin, Meltem; Bozduman, Fadime; Ayturk, Zubeyde; Yilmaz, HakkiObjectivesVitamin D insufficiency has been shown to be associated with cardiac dysfunctions, such as cardiac hypertrophy and hypertension, in animal studies. Arterial stiffness is a prognostic marker for cardiovascular disease. Previous studies have demonstrated that 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels were negatively correlated with arterial stiffness index. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between 25(OH)D levels and arterial stiffness, which is evaluated using an ambulatory arterial stiffness index (AASI), in patients who have untreated and newly diagnosed essential hypertension.DesignA total of 123 consecutive patients with newly diagnosed and untreated essential hypertension were included. Patients were divided into two groups according to their 25(OH)D levels. Vitamin D insufficiency was defined by 25(OH)D levels less than 20ng/ml. All patients were referred for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. The regression slope of diastolic and systolic blood pressure was computed for each individual on the basis of ambulatory blood pressure readings. AASI was described as one minus the respective regression slope.ResultsThe mean AASI was significantly higher in patients with 25(OH)D levels less than 20 as compared with patients with 25(OH)D levels greater than or equal to 20 (0.500.20 vs. 0.34 +/- 0.17, P<0.001). In Pearson's correlation analysis, AASI had a significantly strong negative correlation with vitamin D levels (r=-0.385, P<0.001). In multivariate linear regression analysis, vitamin D levels were found to be significantly and independently associated with AASI (=-0.317, P=0.035).ConclusionArterial stiffness measured by AASI in newly diagnosed and untreated patients with essential hypertension were significantly related to vitamin D levels.
