Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of vitamin D deficiency and replacement on endothelial function in asymptomatic subjects.
Ozlem Tarcin,Dilek Gogas Yavuz,Beste Ozben,Ahu Telli,Ayliz Velioğlu Öğünç,Meral Yüksel,Ahmet Toprak,Dilek Yazici,Seda Sancak,Oguzhan Deyneli,Sema Akalin +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown that 25(OH)D deficiency is associated with endothelial dysfunction and increased lipid peroxidation and may predispose to higher rates of cardiovascular disease in the winter.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Vitamin D Deficiency and Replacement on Endothelial Function in Asymptomatic Subjects
Ozlem Tarcin,Dilek Gogas Yavuz,Beste Ozben,Ahu Telli,Ayliz Velioğlu Öğünç,Meral Yüksel,Ahmet Toprak,Dilek Yazici,Seda Sancak,Oguzhan Deyneli,Sema Akalin +10 more
TL;DR: A relationship between vitamin D levels and endothelial function in asymptomatic vitamin D-deficient individuals is demonstrated and is consistent with previous studies suggesting an association between hypovitaminosis D and atherosclerosis.
Journal ArticleDOI
Relation of Childhood Risk Factors to Left Ventricular Hypertrophy (Eccentric or Concentric) in Relatively Young Adulthood (from the Bogalusa Heart Study)
TL;DR: In this community-based study of young adults, eccentric LV hypertrophy was more frequent and obesity since childhood was the only consistent and significant determinant of this type of adverse cardiac remodeling.
Journal ArticleDOI
Uncontrolled hypertension due to volume overload contributes to higher left ventricular mass index in CAPD patients
TL;DR: Uncontrolled HT on background therapy is highly prevalent among volume overloaded CAPD patients and long-term prospective studies examining effects of salt restriction and ultrafiltration on BP control and left ventricle wall thickness are warranted.
Journal ArticleDOI
Epicardial Fat Tissue Thickness Correlates with Endothelial Dysfunction and Other Cardiovascular Risk Factors in Patients with Metabolic Syndrome
Hasan Aydin,Ahmet Toprak,Oguzhan Deyneli,Dilek Yazici,Ozlem Tarcin,Seda Sancak,Dilek Gogas Yavuz,Sema Akalin +7 more
TL;DR: Epicardial fat tissue thickness was shown to be correlated negatively with FMD and positively with age, diastolic blood pressure, hsCRP, fibrinogen, HOMA-IR, and lipid parameters, and multiple regression analysis showed epicardialfat tissue thickness to be an independent factor influencing the endothelial function.
