Öğe Baseline Characteristics of a Patient Cohort and Predictors of In-hospital MORtality in CORonary Care Units (MORCOR-TURK) Trial in Türkiye(Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2024) Yılmaz, Ahmet Seyda; Kahraman, Fatih; Ersoy, İbrahim; Taylan, Gökay; Kaya, Emin Erdem; Aydın, Ertan; Karakayalı, Muammer; Küçük, UğurObjective: The MORtality in CORonary Care Units in T & uuml;rkiye (MORCOR-TURK) trial is a national registry evaluating predictors and rates of in -hospital mortality in coronary care unit (CCU) patients in T & uuml;rkiye. This report describes the baseline demographic characteristics of patients recruited for the MORCOR-TURK trial. Methods: The study is a multicenter, cross-sectional, prospective national registry that included 50 centers capable of 24 -hour CCU service, selected from all seven geographic regions of T & uuml;rkiye. All consecutive patients admitted to CCUs with cardiovascular emergencies between September 1-30, 2022, were prospectively enrolled. Baseline demographic characteristics, admission diagnoses, laboratory data, and cardiovascular risk factors were recorded. Results: A total of 3,157 patients with a mean age of 65 years (range: 56-73) and 2,087 (66.1%) males were included in the analysis. Patients with arterial hypertension [1,864 patients (59%)], diabetes mellitus (DM) [1,184 (37.5%)], hyperlipidemia [1,120 (35.5%)], and smoking [1,093 (34.6%)] were noted. Non -ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) was the leading cause of admission [1,187 patients (37.6%)], followed by ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in 742 patients (23.5%). Other frequent diagnoses included decompensated heart failure (HF) [339 patients (10.7%)] and arrhythmia [272 patients (8.6%)], respectively. Atrial fibrillation (AF) was the most common pathological rhythm [442 patients (14%)], and chest pain was the most common primary complaint [2,173 patients (68.8%)]. Conclusion: The most common admission diagnosis was acute coronary syndrome (ACS), particularly NSTEMI. Hypertension and DM were found to be the two leading risk factors, and AF was the most commonly seen pathological rhythm in all hospitalized patients. These findings may be useful in understanding the characteristics of patients admitted to CCUs and thus in taking precautions to decrease CCU admissions.Öğe Persistent left superior vena cava: Is it an incidental pathology detected during pacemaker implantation or one of the causes of sick sinus syndrome?(Oxford University Press, 2022) Akşit, Ercan; Taylan, Gökay; Çinier, Göksel; Karabay, Can Yücel; Akgün, TaylanWe read with interest the article by Archontakis et al.1 in which they implanted a pacemaker via an optimal technique in a patient with isolated persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) anomaly, syncope attacks, and sick sinus syndrome (SSS). In this article, we were more interested in the comorbidity of PLSVC and SSS. In our previous experimental study, using the chronic coronary venous insufficiency model, we showed that the exposure of the coronary veins to high pressure and volume load leads to haemosiderin deposition in the myocardial tissue.2 It is known that chronic iron overload selectively reduces CaV1.3-mediated L-type Ca2+ channels and causes bradycardia, heart block, and atrial fibrillation (AF).3 In some patients with PLSVC (especially those with underdeveloped coronary venous collaterals, thebesian vein, and sinusoidal vein network), chronic iron overload in the myocardial tissue may lead to SSS development due to chronic volume and pressure load on the coronary sinus and coronary veins over the years.Öğe The crucial importance of preventive and cardiac rehabilitation programmes in patients with atrial fibrillation: AF-CARE units(Oxford Univ Press, 2025) Akşit, Ercan; Küçük, Uğur; Taylan, Gökay[No abstract available]Öğe The importance of statin therapy in atrial fibrillation patients independent of CHADS-VASc score(Oxford Univ Press, 2023) Akşit, Ercan; Taylan, Gökay; Küçük, Uğur[Anstract Not Available]Öğe The increasing importance of the ablation therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction(Oxford University Press, 2024) Akşit, Ercan; Küçük, Uǧur; Taylan, GökayLetter to the Editor - The increasing importance of the ablation therapy in patients with atrial fibrillation and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
