Öğe A case of herpes tester misdiagnosed and treated as unstable angina pectoris(European Acad Dermatology & Venereology, 2000) Özdemir, R; Tuncer, C; Güven, A; Sezgin, AT[Abstract Not Available]Öğe Comparison of the echocardiographic and pulmonary function test findings in orderly treated and untreated essential hypertensive patients(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2003) Guven, A; Koksal, N; Sokmen, G; Özdemir, RObjective: Although it has been well established that hypertension effects pulmonary functions negatively, the effect of regular antihypertensive therapy on pulmonary functions is not known. In this study, we aimed to compare the pulmonary function tests of the hypertensive patients taking regular antihypertensive therapy with those of the ones not taking any antihypertensive medicine, to document the differences in pulmonary functions of both hypertensive groups. Materials and Methods: Patients who had received antihypertensive treatment (Group I: 29 males, 24 females, mean age 42.3 +/- 8.2 years), and untreated cases (Group II: 28 males, 22 females, mean age 43.4 +/- 6.4 years) were included in the study. Patients with a history of coronary heart disease, respiratory diseases, smokers and those who were obese were excluded from the study. Results: Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume at the first second (FEV1) levels were found significantly lower in Group II ( p < 0.05). In echocardiographic evaluation, the mitral E/A ratio of Group II was lower than that of Group I ( p < 0.05). Isovolumetric relaxation time and deceleration time was higher in Group II than in Group I ( p < 0.05). There was a significant association between pulmonary function tests and impaired left ventricular diastolic parameters; especially, mitral E/A ratio was significantly associated with decreased FVC and FEV1 in Group II (respectively r = -0.695, p = 0.01 and r = -0.591, p = 0.03). Conclusion: FVC and FEV1 levels in untreated hypertensive cases were lower than in those of treated hypertensive cases, and this may be caused by diastolic function rather than the systolic function. In the evaluation of dyspnea in hypertensive patients, it would be useful to examine respiratory function in addition to echocardiographic investigation.Öğe Effect of trimetazidine on late potentials after acute myocardial infarction(Springer, 1999) Özdemir, R; Tuncer, C; Aladag, M; Güven, A; Sezgin, AT; Pekdemir, H; Korkmaz, METhe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of trimetazidine on late potentials in patients with acute myocardial infarction. A total of 60 patients (52 males, mean age 55 +/- 2 years, and 8 females, mean age 54 +/- 1.8 years) with the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction were included in this study. The study was designed as a randomized, double-blinded, and placebo-controlled trial. Signal-averaged electrocardiography and echocardiography were performed during the first 2 days of acute myocardial infarction and were repeated between days of 8 and 15 (mean 11). Patients were treated with trimetazidine (n = 30) or placebo (n = 30). In the placebo group, the total filtered QRS duration and low-amplitude terminal signal duration increased (from 102.7 +/- 1.8 ms to 113.3 +/- 1.8 ms, and from 32.2 +/- 0.9 ms to 38.3 +/- 1.1 ms; P < 0.001), the root mean square voltage of the terminal 40 ms of the QRS decreased (from 28.6 +/- 2.1 mu V to 21.4 +/- 1.3 mu V; P < 0.001), and the incidence of late potentials increased (from 30% to 46%; P < 0.01) significantly. In the trimetazidine group, these measurements were a decrease from 102.9 +/- 1.9 ms to 100 +/- 2.0 ms (NS), an increase from 31.6 +/- 0.9 ms to 32.5 +/- 0.9 ms (NS), a decrease 9.3 +/- 2.0 mu V to 27.3 +/- 1.8 mu V (P < 0.01), and a decrease from 33% to 30% (NS), respectively. The ejection fraction was 47.1 +/- 1.3% to 50.8 +/- 1.2% in the placebo group (P = 0.05), and 48.1 +/- 1.1% to 53.4 +/- 1.2% (P < 0.01) in the trimetazidine group. It is concluded that trimetazidine reduces late potentials after acute myocardial infarction without changing blood pressure and heart rate.Öğe Loss of nocturnal decline of blood pressure in patients with nasal polyposis(Taylor & Francis Ltd, 1999) Özdemir, R; Yorulmaz, A; Kutlu, R; Güven, A; Aladag, M; Sezgin, A; Korkmaz, METhe objective of this study was to assess the blood pressure pattern in patients with nasal polyposis. Twenty-seven patients with nasal polyposis (18 males and 9 females), ranging in age from 15 to 72 years (mean 37.1 years) were eligible for inclusion in the study. All patients were hospitalized overnight before surgery. After the basal blood pressure measurements were taken,: non-invasive ambulatory blood pressure monitoring was carried out. Oxygen saturation was measured via a finger probe and venous blood sampling was taken for catecholamine level during the full night.: All measurements were repeated 4 months after nasal surgery. Mean values for nocturnal decline in blood: pressure and heart rate before surgery were less marked than those measured after surgery. Mean decline values (+/- SD) were; 4.6 +/- 2.4 mmHg for systolic blood pressure, 5.8 +/- 3.8 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure, and 7.9 +/- 3.9 beats/min for heart rate before surgery, 9.3 +/- 2.8 mmHg, 8.5 +/- 4.1 mmHg and 10.4 +/- 4.3 beats/min after surgery (p < 0.01), respectively. Whereas mean and minimum SaO(2) (%) significantly increased (p < 0.01), catecholamine levels decreased (p < 0.05 for adrenaline, p < 0.01 for noradrenaline) after surgery. A correlation was found between BMI and blood pressure as well as between duration of obstruction and blood pressure. Patients who snored had higher blood pressure values than those who did not. Our data show that in cases of nasal polyposis, hypoxia, hypercapnia, snoring, and sleep disorders may develop and persons with nasal polyposis and snoring have an increased risk of hypertension and loss of nocturnal decline in blood pressure.
