Employment Preferences of Cardiologists in T ürkiye: A Discrete Choice Experiment
CONCLUSION: 'Location' emerged as the most important factor in the employment preferences of cardiologists in Türkiye. However, several other monetary and non-monetary factors were also influential, suggesting that policymakers should adopt a holistic approach when developing incentives for cardiologists.PMID:38573088 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2023.09255 (Source: Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi arsivi)

Telmisartan-Induced Myotoxicity in Patients with Essential Hypertension
Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2024 Apr;52(3):217-219. doi: 10.5543/tkda.2023.22893.ABSTRACTDrug-related muscular adverse effects are relatively common among certain groups of drugs, such as statins and steroids. However, these adverse effects are less well-known for angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs). It is proposed that telmisartan and irbesartan may cause myotoxicity via increased Peroxisome Proliferator-Activated Receptor gamma (PPAR-gamma) activity. Herein, we present two hypertensive patients in whom telmisartan-induced myotoxicity was observed. Therefore, physicians should be aware that telmisartan, along with some other...

Discrepancy in Diagnosing Coronary Artery Occluded Lesion: CT-Derived Fractional Flow Reserve (FFRCT) Versus Invasive Coronary Angiography
Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2024 Apr;52(3):208-212. doi: 10.5543/tkda.2023.29035.ABSTRACTCoronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and CT-derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) findings demonstrate high diagnostic accuracy, aligning consistently with invasive coronary angiography (ICA), the gold standard diagnostic technique for coronary artery disease. The differential diagnosis of total versus subtotal coronary occlusion is crucial in determining the appropriate treatment strategy. Subtotal coronary occlusions composed of vulnerable tissue can sometimes present as total coronary occlusions on ICA. This presentation ca...

Longitudinal Echocardiographic Follow-Up of a Pediatric Multisystem Inflammatory Syndrome Cohort
CONCLUSION: Smaller CAAs resolve, whereas giant CAAs persist. EF and GLS are important predictors of Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) stay. The residual impairment of median segmental strain and persistent diastolic dysfunction at three months indicate the need for long-term follow-up.PMID:38573091 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2023.60940 (Source: Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi arsivi)

Baseline Characteristics of a Patient Cohort and Predictors of In-hospital MORtality in CORonary Care Units (MORCOR-TURK) Trial in T ürkiye
CONCLUSION: The most common admission diagnosis was acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly NSTEMI. Hypertension and DM were found to be the two leading risk factors, and AF was the most commonly seen pathological rhythm in all hospitalized patients. These findings may be useful in understanding the characteristics of patients admitted to CCUs and thus in taking precautions to decrease CCU admissions.PMID:38573092 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2023.67505 (Source: Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi arsivi)

Association of the Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms in the Renin-Angiotensin-Aldosterone System with Hypertension in the Uzbek Population
CONCLUSION: Four of the nine studied polymorphic variants were associated with clinical manifestations of hypertension in the Uzbek population. These variants can be used as genetic biomarkers to identify the risks of developing cardiovascular diseases and hypertension in the Uzbek population.PMID:38573093 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2023.67866 (Source: Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi arsivi)

Multimodality Imaging of Intimal Sarcoma Causing Both Severe Mitral Stenosis and Mitral Regurgitation
Turk Kardiyol Dern Ars. 2024 Apr;52(3):213-216. doi: 10.5543/tkda.2023.76062.ABSTRACTIntimal sarcomas (IS) are rare, malignant, rapidly progressive mesenchymal tumors that typically occur in the tunica intima of larger vessels, and they rarely involve the heart. IS are frequently misdiagnosed during the initial clinical presentation. This case report describes an uncommonly located IS, highlighting specific findings obtained through multimodality imaging.PMID:38573094 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2023.76062 (Source: Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi arsivi)

Comparative Analysis of Angiographic Parameters and Percutaneous Coronary Intervention Outcomes in Diverse Populations in T ürkiye
CONCLUSION: Comparable MACCE rates were observed in both ethnic groups undergoing PCI, despite a higher SYNTAX score in Syrian patients. Future research should investigate whether similar in-hospital MACCE rates are observed in other regions of Türkiye and whether long-term cardiovascular outcomes differ between Turkish and Syrian patients.PMID:38573097 | DOI:10.5543/tkda.2024.94024 (Source: Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi arsivi)
