    (Kare Publ, 2024) Karabay, Can Yucel; Tasolar, Hakan; Kunak, Aysegul Ulgen; Cap, Murat; Astarcioglu, Mehmet Ali; Sen, Taner; Kaplan, Mehmet
    Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most prevalent cardiac arrhythmia worldwide and is associated with an increased risk of thromboembolism, ischemic stroke, impaired quality of life, and mortality. The latest research that shows the prevalence and incidence of AF patients in Turkiye was the Turkish Adults' Heart Disease and Risk Factors study, which included 3,450 patients and collected data until 2006/07.The Turkish Real Life Atrial Fibrillation in Clinical Practice (TRAFFIC) study is planned to present current prevalence data, reveal the reflection of new treatment and risk approaches in our country, and develop new prediction models in terms of outcomes. Methods: The TRAFFIC study is a national, prospective, multicenter, observational registry. The study aims to collect data from at least 1900 patients diagnosed with atrial fibrillation, with the participation of 40 centers from Turkiye. The following data will be collected from patients: baseline demographic characteristics, medical history, vital signs, symptoms of AF, ECG and echocardiographic findings, CHADS2VASC2 and HAS -BLED (1 -year risk of major bleeding) risk scores, interventional treatments, antithrombotic and antiarrhythmic medications, or other medications used by the patients. For patients who use warfarin, international normalized ratio levels will be monitored. Follow-up data will be collected at 6, 12, 18, and 24 months. Primary endpoints are defined as systemic embolism or major safety endpoints (major bleeding, clinically relevant nonmajor bleeding, and minor bleeding as defined by the International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis). The main secondary endpoints include major adverse cardiovascular events (systemic embolism, myocardial infarction, and cardiovascular death), all -cause mortality, and hospitalizations due to all causes or specific reasons. Results: The results of the 12 -month follow-up of the study are planned to be shared by the end of 2023. Conclusion: The TRAFFIC study will reveal the prevalence and incidence, demographic characteristics, and risk profiles of AF patients in Turkiye. Additionally, it will provide insights into how current treatments are reflected in this population. Furthermore, risk prediction modeling and risk scoring can be conducted for patients with AF.

    An unusual presentation of acute pericarditis; a case of transient constrictive pericarditis
    (Turgut Özal Tıp Merkezi Dergisi, 2016) Acar, Emrah; Barutçu, Süleyman; Hakgor, Aykun; Cap, Murat; Gürbüz, Seyfettin; Cetin Gecmen
    Abstract Classic constrictive pericarditis (CP),a progressive and debilitating condition, is characterized by pericardial fibrosis,with or without calcification, which results in chronic refractory congestive heart failure and for which pericardiectomy is often required. Until relatively recently, the development of constrictive physiology was presumed to be irreversible. But transient constrictive pericarditis,which is rare but well known complication of self-limiting acute pericarditis,shares the same clinical features with the chronic form but resolves without surgical intervention.Most of them have resolved without any surgical interventions by administration of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID) or steroids. In this report, we present the case of a patient with transient constrictive pericarditis which subsided conservatively. Keywords: Acute Pericarditis; Constrictive Pericarditis; Transthoracic Echocardiography; Computed Tomography; Pericardial Effusion; Non-Steroidal Anti-İnflammatory Drugs.
