Coronary artery disease has been found to be substantially associated with increased aortic stiffness. In this study we aimed to retrospectively analyze the association of angiographically determined aortic distensibility with the patency rates of coronary bypass grafts Methods: The study was conducted in the Cardiology department of the Applied Research Centre for Health of Uludag University. The coronary angiograms of 53 consecutive coronary bypass patients were analysed retrospectively. Aortic distensibility was calculated using the formula: 2 x (change in aortic diameter)/(diastolic aortic diameter) x (change in aortic pressure). The number of stenosed and patent bypass grafts and the patient characteristics like age, risk factors were noted. Results: There were 44 male (83%) and 9 female (17%) cases. Eighteen cases had only one saphenous vein grafting. The number of cases with two, three and four saphenous grafting were 18, 11 and 1; respectively. In the control angiograms the number of cases with one, two, three and four saphenous vein graft obstruction were 15 (31.3%), 7 (14.6%), 1 (2.1%) and 1 (2.1%) respectively. The aortic distensibility did not differ in cases with and without saphenous graft occlusion (p > 0.05). Also left internal mammary artery (LIMA) graft patency was not related to the distensibility of the aorta (p > 0.05). We also evaluated the data for cut-off values of 50 and 70 mmHg of pulse pressure and did not see any significant difference between the groups in terms of saphenous or LIMA grafts. Conclusion: In this study we failed to show association of angiographically determined aortic distensibility with coronary bypass graft patency in consecutive 53 patients with coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG).Item Arterial elasticity measurement in patients with Behcet's disease(Drunpp-Sarajevo, 2012) Uçar, Hakan; Yetgin, Zeynel Abidin; Aktürk, Yusuf; Karaağaç, Esra Uğurlu; Karaağaç, Kemal; Serdar, Osman Akın; Sarıcaoğlu, Hayriye; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kardiyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Dermatoloji Anabilim Dalı.; AAF-5116-2019; 6507416315; 6603722836Behcet's syndrome is a chronic, multisystem disorder characterized by recurrent oral and genital ulceration, skin lesions and uveitis. In addition, 25% of patients develop vascular complications, which may include superficial thrombophlebitis, deep vein and arterial thrombosis and arterial aneurysm formation. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) is an important factor in determining cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. It is an index of arterial wall stiffness and inversely related to the arterial distensibility. In this study we investigated the arterial distensibility in Behcet's Disease (BD) by PWV. We studied 50 patients with BD and 20 healthy subjects without known cardiovascular disease. Arterial distensibility was assessed by All patients underwent pulse wave analysis (HDI/Pulse Wave model CR-2000) to determine large and small vessel compliances. Large arterial elastisite index (LAEI) and small arterial elastisite index (SAEI) of the radial artery were determined from an internal algorhythm based on diastolic decay features of the calibrated radial pulse contour using a modified Windkessel model. The mean ages, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, large arterial elastisite index (LAE), small arterial elastisite index (SAE) of Behcet's disease and control subjects were 37 +/- 8.323 and 37 +/- 7.984 years, 125,8 +/- 3 and 124,3 +/- 11.4 mmHg, 68.5 +/- 7.7 and 68.5 +/- 7.7 mmHg, 13.3 +/- 3.6 and 13.6 +/- 3.64 mL/mm Hg X 10, 5.2 +/- 2.43 and 6.01 +/- 2.6 mL/mm Hg X 100 respectively. Differences between all parameters studied were not found to be statistically significant (p > 0.05). Furthermore, in patients group there were no significant correlation between disease duration and LAEI(C1) and SAEI(C2) (p=0.267 and p=0.456, respectively). Eventually, no significant correlation was shown between increase in systemic involvement, LAEI and SAEI values (p=0.447 and p=0.345, respectively). In this study, it was shown that Behcet's disease did not change arterial stiffness parameters used as a strong indicator of atherosclerosis. Further, it was determined that disease duration and increase in systemic involvement did not alter arterial stiffness parameters.Item The comparison of depression and anxiety levels determined by self rating scales in patients with acute coronary syndrome, patients with stable coronary artery disease and patients without coronary artery disease(Elsevier, 2011-03) Yetgin, Zeynel Abidin; Şentürk, Tünay; Kaderli, Aysel Aydın; Sivrioğlu, Yusuf; Yeşilbursa, D.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kardiyoloji Anabilim Dalı.; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Psikiyatri Anabilim Dalı.; C-1517-2017Item Koroner arter hastalarında damar tutulumu ve risk faktörleri arasındaki ilişki(Uludağ Üniversitesi, 2011-07-28) Aydın, Özlem; Yetgin, Zeynel Abidin; Karaca, Özlem; Doğan, Selda; Böyük, Ferit; Aydınlar, Ali; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kardiyoloji Ana Bilim Dalı.Koroner arter hastalığının oluşmasında ve hastalığın seyrinde risk faktörlerinin rolü tartışılmaz bir gerçektir. Sol ön inen arter (LAD) tutulumu mortalite ve morbiditeyi ciddi oranda etkilemektedir. Bu çalışmada LAD tutulumunun klasik risk faktörleri açısından bir farklılık gösterip göstermediğini araştırmayı amaçladık. Bu çalışmaya Ocak 2010 ve Mart 2011 tarihleri arasında elektif şartlarda koroner anjiyografisi yapılmış 100 hasta alındı. Retrospektif olarak hastaların dosyaları incelenerek anjiyografi sonuçları ve risk faktörleri saptandı. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre iki grup arasında hipertansiyon ve obezite açısından anlamlı bir fark olduğu görüldü. LAD tutulumunun olduğu grupta hipertansiyon ve obezite prevalansı RCA ve CX tutulumu olan gruba kıyasla daha yüksek saptandı (sırasıyla p değeri:0,015, <0,001). Sonuç olarak; risk faktörlerinin varlığı hastalığın saptanma olasılığı ve prognozu hakkında değerli bilgiler verir. Bununla beraber risk faktörlerinin varlığı ve damar tutulumu arasındaki ilişki net değildir. Bu noktada çalışmamız hipertansiyon ve obezitenin LAD tutulumu olan hastalarda daha sık görüldüğünü göstermiştir.Item Prevalence and correlates of erectile dysfunction in type 2 diabetes mellitus: A cross-sectional single-center study among Turkish patients(Mary Ann Liebert, 2014-08) Cander, Soner; Çoban, Soner; Altuner, Şakir; Öz Gül, Özen; Yetgin, Zeynel Abidin; Uçar, Hakan; Akkurt, Ayşen; Tuncel, Ercan; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Endokrinoloji ve Metabolizma Anabilim Dalı.; 55576013900; 7006929833Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate prevalence of erectile dysfunction (ED) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) in relation to vascular and neurogenic correlates. Methods: A total of 116 males including T2DM patients [n = 68; mean age, 56.7 (5.8) years] and age-matched healthy controls [n = 48; mean age, 57.0 (6.6) years] were included in this cross-sectional single-center study. Data on anthropometrics, blood biochemistry, concomitant hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and coronary artery disease (CAD) were recorded in each subject along with measurement of carotid artery intima media thickness (CIMT) and evaluation of erectile dysfunction (ED) via International Index of Erectile Function (IIEF-5) Questionnaire. A univariate analysis was performed to determine the relationship of cardiovascular risk factors and diabetes-related complications to ED. Results: Patient and control groups were similar in terms of percentage patients with hyperlipidemia (51.5% and 39.6%, respectively) and CAD (33.8% and 22.9%, respectively), whereas concomitant hypertension was more common (P = 0.05) and CIMT values were significantly higher (P = 0.020) in patients with T2DM compared with controls. Polyneuropathy was noted in 46.2% of patients, nephropathy in 30.8%, and retinopathy in 33.8%. ED scores were significantly lower in patients than controls [14.3 (7.3) vs. 18.2 (6.3), P = 0.004] with a significantly higher percentage of patients than controls in the category of severe dysfunction (29.4 vs. 10.4%, P = 0.014). Univariate analysis revealed that diabetic polyneuropathy was the only factor to be associated with higher likelihood (93.3% in the presence and 60.0% in the absence of neuropathy) and severity (43.3% in the presence and 14.3% in the absence of neuropathy) of ED (P = 0.004). Conclusion: Findings from the present cross-sectional single-center study revealed the prevalence of ED to be considerably higher in patients with T2DM than age-matched healthy controls, with identification of diabetic polyneuropathy as the only risk factor associated with higher likelihood and more severe forms of ED.Item Response to the case report of pulmonary artery coil migration after management of patent ductus arteriosus in a 65-year-old female patient Reply(Türk Kardiyoloji Derneği, 2009-08) Şentürk, Tunay; Yetgin, Zeynel Abidin; Doğan, Tolga; Aydınlar, Ali; Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Kardiyoloji Bölümü.; 0000-0002-8974-8837; AAI-6632-2021; C-1517-2017
