Publication Metadata only Successful Treatment of a Giant Left Atrial Mass Stemming from Pulmonary Vein after Chemotherapy-radiotherapy Combination in a Patient with Lung Adenocarcinoma(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2016) ATAŞ, HALİL; Besiroglu, Fatih; Atas, Halil; Sunbul, Murat; Samadov, Fuad; Oguz, Mustafa; Sari, IbrahimPublication Metadata only Evaluation of Cardiac Function by Two-Dimensional Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Ulcerative Colitis Patients(SPRINGER, 2014) ÇİNÇİN, AHMET ALTUĞ; Cincin, Altug; Sunbul, Murat; Kivrak, Tarik; Atas, Halil; Sari, Ibrahim; Tigen, Kursat; Kani, Tarik; Akin, Hakan; Imeryuz, Nese; Basaran, YeldaPurpose Although ulcerative colitis (UC) shows obvious similarities with other autoimmune diseases, cardiac consequences have not adequately introduced. The aim of our study was to evaluate left ventricular (LV) function in UC patients by using novel echocardiographic parameters. Results Forty-five UC patients (mean age 37, 18 female) and 90 age-and sex-matched healthy volunteers (mean age 40, 38 female) included in the study. The mean disease activity score according to partial Mayo score was 2.16 +/- 2.13. Mean global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global longitudinal strain rate (GLSR) measurements were significantly lower (-21.16 +/- 2.71 vs. -23.36 +/- 3.34; p < 0.001 and -1.33 +/- 0.24 vs. -1.43 +/- 0.24; p = 0.037, respectively), whereas global circumferential (-22.67 +/- 3.66 vs. -23.37 +/- 3.99; p = 0.140) and global radial strain (43.07 +/- 8.58 vs. 44.12 +/- 9.32; p = 0.545) measurements of the LV were similar in patients with UC compared with controls. The correlation coefficient (r) between GLS and partial Mayo score was -0.578 (p < 0.001). Conclusion Our study suggests that systolic cardiac deformation values are impaired in UC patients. Reduced GLS and GLSR might be an early indicator of cardiac involvement in this population.Publication Open Access Arterial stiffness parameters associated with vitamin D deficiency and supplementation in patients with normal cardiac functions(AVES, 2016) ÇİNÇİN, AHMET ALTUĞ; Sunbul, Murat; Cincin, Altug; Bozbay, Mehmet; Mammadov, Ceyhun; Atas, Halil; Ozsenel, Ekmel Burak; Sari, Ibrahim; Basaran, YeldaObjective: Arterial stiffness parameters including pulse wave velocity (PWV) and augmentation index (AIx) are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease. A close relationship has been demonstrated between vitamin D deficiency and cardiovascular disease. The aim of the present study was to investigate effects of vitamin D deficiency and supplementation on arterial stiffness parameters in patients with normal cardiac functions. Methods: Study population consisted of 45 patients with vitamin D deficiency and normal cardiac functions. Median age (interquartile range) was 45.0 (12.00) years, and 33 patients were female. Patients were treated with oral administration of vitamin D3. Arterial stiffness parameters were evaluated using Mobil-O-Graph arteriograph system, which detected signals from the brachial artery before and after treatment. Results: Vitamin D levels significantly increased after treatment (9.0 [6.00] nmol/L vs 29.0 [11.50] nmol/L, p<0.001). No significant difference was observed among conventional echocardiographic parameters before or after treatment. Post-treatment PVW and AIx were significantly lower than baseline measurements (6.8 [1.55] m/s vs 6.4 [1.30] m/s, p<0.001 and 23.0 [22.00]% vs 31.0 [14.50]%, p<0.001, respectively). Baseline vitamin D levels significantly correlated with PWV (r=-0.352, p=0.018). Post-treatment vitamin D levels also significantly correlated with post-treatment PWV (r=-0.442, p=0.002) and AIx (r=-0.419, p=0.004). Multivariate linear regression analysis revealed no independent predictor of baseline log-transformed PWV. Conclusion: Vitamin D supplementation has beneficial effects on arterial stiffness. Arterial stiffness parameters may aid in the assessment of cardiovascular risk in patients with vitamin D deficiency.Publication Open Access A Rare Case of Acute Pulmonary Embolism after Coronary Angiography due to Sand Bag Compression(2013-06-27) ATAŞ, HALİL; Kivrak, Tarik; Durmus, Erdal; Atas, Halil; Sunbul, Murat; Sari, IbrahimPublication Metadata only Effect of vitamin D deficiency and supplementation on myocardial deformation parameters and epicardial fat thickness in patients free of cardiovascular risk(SPRINGER, 2015) ÇİNÇİN, AHMET ALTUĞ; Sunbul, Murat; Bozbay, Mehmet; Mammadov, Ceyhun; Cincin, Altug; Atas, Halil; Ozsenel, Ekmel Burak; Sari, Ibrahim; Basaran, YeldaVitamin D deficiency is associated with impaired myocardial deformation parameters and cardiovascular disease (CVD). Increased epicardial fat thickness (EFT) is also associated with increased risk of CVD. The aim of the study is to evaluate the effect of vitamin D deficiency and supplementation on myocardial deformation parameters and EFT. The study population consisted of 50 patients with vitamin D deficiency who were free of cardiovascular risk (mean age: 42.6 +/- A 8.9 years, 37 female). Patients were treated with oral administration of vitamin D3. Myocardial deformation parameters and EFT were evaluated before and after treatment of those patients. Vitamin D levels significantly increased after treatment (30.5 +/- A 10.5 vs. 9.9 +/- A 5.3 nmol/l, p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between conventional echocardiographic parameters before and after treatment. Baseline EFT was significantly higher than post-treatment measurements (35.2 +/- A 8.0 vs. 27.5 +/- A 5.6 mm, p < 0.001). Post-treatment myocardial deformation parameters were also significantly higher than baseline measurements. Baseline vitamin D levels correlated with baseline EFT and left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS). Post-treatment vitamin D levels also correlated with post-treatment EFT, body mass index, and LV-GLS. Baseline vitamin D level was an independent predictor of baseline LV-GLS (p = 0.002). Patients with impaired LV-GLS had significantly lower vitamin D levels than patients with normal LV-GLS (6.6 +/- A 3.8 vs. 11.0 +/- A 5.3 nmol/l, p = 0.005). Baseline vitamin D level was also an independent predictor of baseline impaired LV-GLS (p = 0.010). Vitamin D supplementation has beneficial effects on myocardial deformation parameters and EFT. Moreover, baseline vitamin D levels are a predictor of impaired LV-GLS.
