OBJECTIVES: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is common in patients with end-stage renal disease receiving hemodialysis. SCD may be caused by electrolyte imbalance or malignant arrhythmias in hemodialysis patients. We aimed to ...

AIM: To investigate the situation of the cardiac arrhythmia in the cases within the chronic haemodialysis program and its pathogenesis. MATERIALS and METHOD: Sixty-four patients who admitted to the department of nephro...

Abstract Background Typical atrioventricular accessory pathways (APs) are composed of myocardial cells. They provide electrical connections between atria and ventricles separate from the normal conduction system. Accesso...

OBJECTIVE: QTc dispersion is defi ned as the difference between the maximal and minimal correct QT interval on standard 12-lead ECG. Increased QTc dispersion has been reported in ESRD patients. In our study, we aimed to ...

Carbamazapine is a commonly used antiepileptic agent. Neurological abnormalities which can progress to coma, arrhythmias, respiratory depression and eye abnormalities such as nystagmus are seen in an intoxication setting...

Anemia is one of the common chronic renal failure (CRF) complications. Reduced renal erythropoietin (EPO) production and a shortened life span of erythrocytes due to uremic environment and iron deficiency are the main ca...

Abstract Background Cardiac cachexia, loss of muscle mass associated with congestive heart failure (CHF), is associated with increased morbidity and shorter survival times in people, but an association between cardiac ca...

Abstract Background Restrictive cardiomyopathy (RCM) is a common primary cardiomyopathy of cats. However, little information is available regarding prognostic variables in large populations of cats with RCM. Objectives T...

OBJECTIVE: We aimed to evaluate the ECG fi ndings in asymptomatic HD patients for CVD, and to determine related factors with these fi ndings. MATERIAL and METHODS: 545 maintenance HD patients treated at 10 different HD...

OBJECTIVE: Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) have increased risk for cardiac arrhythmias. Other than comorbidities like diabetes mellitus and cardiovascular disease, factors like acidosis, uremia and electrolyte...

OBJECTIVE: End-stage kidney disease and advanced cirrhosis are sometimes seen concomitantly. Our purpose was to compare hemodialysis (HD) sessions in critically ill cirrhotic patients from ICU versus stable cirrhotic pat...

Nonvalvular atrial fibrillation is the most prevalent sustained arrhythmia in chronic kidney disease patients. When compared to warfarin, new oral anticoagulants are found to be non-inferior or superior in safety and eff...

Rhabdomyolysis is a condition of muscle tissue release including after necrosis of muscle due to a direct or indirect muscle injury. Rhabdomyolysis is mostly asymptomatic but hypovolemic shock, cardiac arrhythmias or acu...

Circadian rhythms are generated by endogenous pacemakers that rely on transcriptional-translational feedback mechanisms conserved among species. In Drosophila, the stability of a key pacemaker protein PERIOD (PER) is tig...

L-carnitine (L-C) deficiency seen in chronic hemodialysis (HD) patients may contribute to heart failure and arrhythmias, through damaging the myocardial energy metabolism. In this study, the effect of L-C treatment on le...

OBJECTIVE: In hemodialysis patients; there is a continuing tendency to metabolic acidosis. In studies, the relationship between serum bicarbonate concentration and dialysis mortality has been determined. In our study, th...

OBJECTIVE: Sudden cardiac death and risk of arrhythmia are higher in patients with ESRD. Tp-e/ QT, and Tp-e/QTc are novel and more reliable indexes of ventricular arrhythmogenesis and sudden cardiac death than QTc. The a...
