Balloon Aortic Valvuloplasty Prior to Self‐Expanding TAVI: The BAVSE‐TAVI Registry

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Direct transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) approach is feasible and safe compared to predilatation‐TAVI. Certain clinical and computerized tomography (CT)‐based characteristics might indicate the need for balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV) before TAVI, especially with self‐expanding valves.

Effect of Catheter Ablation vs Medical Therapy on Quality of Life Among Patients With Atrial Fibrillation: The CABANA Randomized Clinical Trial

open access: yesJournal of the American Medical Association (JAMA), 2019
Importance Catheter ablation is more effective than drug therapy in restoring sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), but its incremental effect on long-term quality of life (QOL) is uncertain.

Long‐Term Durability of Transcatheter Aortic Valves in Patients With Bicuspid Aortic Stenosis

open access: yesCatheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Data concerning the long‐term durability of transcatheter aortic valves (TAVs) in patients with bicuspid aortic stenosis (AS) are lacking. Aims The study aims to report data on long‐term valve durability following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) in bicuspid AS.

Pharmacological Inhibition of β Myosin II Disrupts Sarcomere Assembly in Human iPSC‐Derived Cardiac Myocytes

open access: yesCytoskeleton, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sarcomeres are the fundamental contractile units of striated muscle. The functional roles of the cardiac‐specific myosin heavy chains, MYH6 (α myosin II) and MYH7 (β myosin II) during sarcomere assembly remain controversial. To address this, we utilized a selective MYH7 inhibitor, mavacamten, in combination with siRNA‐mediated knockdown of ...

The Role of CHA2DS2VASC Score and Diabetes-Related Demographic and Clinical Factors for Determining the İncidence of Paroxysmal Atriyal Fibrillation in 24 Hour Rhythm Monitoring in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus

open access: yesAnkara Üniversitesi Tıp Fakültesi Mecmuas, 2018
Objectives:Diabetes mellitus is a risk factor for atrial fibrillation and thromboembolism. CHA2DS2VASC score is a scoring system indicating risk of thromboembolism in atrial fibrillation.
