    Decreased left ventricular torsion in patients with isolated mitral stenosis
    (Urban & Vogel, 2015) Kirilmaz, B.; Asgun, F.; Saygi, S.; Ercan, E.
    Left ventricular (LV) torsion is a sensitive indicator of myocardial contractility and cardiac structure, and has recently been recognized as a sensitive indicator of cardiac performance. The aim of our study was to assess the effect of isolated mitral stenosis on LV torsion. We enrolled 19 patients with isolated mitral stenosis and 19 age- and gender-matched healthy subjects in the study. All patients had a normal sinus rhythm. All study subjects underwent two-dimensional echocardiography. Basal and apical LV rotations and LV torsion were evaluated using speckle-tracking echocardiography. Demographic characteristics, basic echocardiographic measures of LV ejection fraction, LV wall thickness, and LV mass index were similar between the two groups. The degrees of LV torsion (11.3 +/- 4.7, 15.4 +/- 4.9A degrees, p=0.014) and LV basal rotation (-aEuro parts per thousand 3.7 A +/- 1.9, -aEuro parts per thousand 6.5 A +/- 2.1A degrees, p < 0.001) were significantly decreased in the mitral stenosis group. There was a moderate positive correlation between mitral valve area and LV torsion (r=0.531, p=0.019). We showed significant reductions in LV torsion and LV basal rotation in patients with mitral valve stenosis. Structural and anatomical changes occurring during the progression of mitral stenosis may be responsible for these impaired movements.

    Is elabela/toddler a poor prognostic marker in heart failure patients?
    (Lithographia, 2023) Kucuk, U.; Kirilmaz, B.; Kaya, H.; Aksit, E.; Arslan, K.
    Background: Elabela/toddler (ELA-32) is a recently identified endogenous apelin receptor ligand. ELA levels are known to rise in heart failure (HF) patients. However, the association between elevated ELA levels and prognosis in these patients remains unknown. We aimed to investigate whether ELA plasma levels are correlated with prognosis in heart failure patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Methods: This case-control cross-sectional study enrolled 150 patients, including 73 HFrEF patients and 77 age- and gender-matched healthy volunteers. We collected a blood sample at hospital admission to measure ELA-32 levels. The study endpoint was cardiovascular mortality or HF-related hospitalization. We followed up all patients in the study for a mean of 7.48 +/- 2.73 months. Results: In patients with HFrEF, ELA-32 levels were higher than those in controls. The levels of ELA-32 showed a significant increase at advanced New York Heart Association stages. In the receiver operating characteristics curve analysis, a cut-off value of the serum ELA-32 level of 8.25 ng/mL showed a sensitivity of 76 % and specificity of 82 % for predicting the study endpoint [area under the curve: 0.84; 95 % confidence interval (CI): 0.72-0.98; p <0.001]. Cardiovascular mortality (p =0.042) and HF-related hospitalization (p <0.001) were statistically more significant in patients with ELA-32 levels greater than 8.25. Age [Hazard ratio (HR) =1.023; 95 % CI: 0.964-1.230, p =0.039], N-terminal =1.142; 95 % CI 1.022-1.547, p =0.028), and ELA-32 >= 8.25 (HR =2.556; 95 % CI: 1.078-3.941, p <0.001) remained independently associated with the risk of study endpoint. Conclusion: For the first time, HF-related hospitalizations and cardiovascular mortality are independently associated with increased ELA-32 levels in patients with HFrEF.
