Journal ArticleDOI
Levosimendan improves renal function in patients with acute decompensated heart failure: comparison with dobutamine.
Mehmet Yilmaz,Kenan Yalta,Can Yontar,Filiz Karadas,Alim Erdem,Okan Onur Turgut,Ahmet Yilmaz,Izzet Tandogan +7 more
TL;DR: Levosimendan seems to provide beneficial effects in terms of improvement in renal function compared to dobutamine in patients with heart failure who require inotropic therapy.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparative effects of levosimendan and dobutamine on right ventricular function in patients with biventricular heart failure
Mehmet Yilmaz,Can Yontar,Alim Erdem,Filiz Karadas,Kenan Yalta,Okan Onur Turgut,Ahmet Yilmaz,Izzet Tandogan +7 more
TL;DR: Levosimendan seems to offer more beneficial effects compared to dobutamine in a specific group of patients with biventricular failure, and both 24-h urine output and creatinine improved, whereas D showed only a small, but significant improvement in urine output without any improvement in the creat inine levels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sleep quality among relatively younger patients with initial diagnosis of hypertension: dippers versus non-dippers.
Mehmet Yilmaz,Kenan Yalta,Okan Onur Turgut,Ahmet Yilmaz,Oguzhan Yucel,Gökhan Bektaşoğlu,Izzet Tandogan +6 more
TL;DR: It was shown that the risk of having non‐dipping hypertension, a risk factor for poor cardiovascular outcomes among hypertensive individuals, was tripled (odds ratios) among poor sleepers.
Journal ArticleDOI
Tortuosity of coronary arteries: an indicator for impaired left ventricular relaxation?
Okan Onur Turgut,Ahmet Yilmaz,Kenan Yalta,Birhan Yilmaz,Ali Ozyol,Omer Kendirlioglu,Filiz Karadas,Izzet Tandogan +7 more
TL;DR: This study depicts that coronary tortuosity is associated with impaired left ventricular relaxation and might be an indicator of impaired left Ventricular relaxation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gamma-glutamyltransferase to Determine Cardiovascular Risk: Shifting the Paradigm Forward
Okan Onur Turgut,Izzet Tandogan +1 more
TL;DR: New insights into the pathophysiological background of GGT in the precipitation and progression of atherosclerosis appear to be supported by relevant epidemiological observations as a cardiovascular risk predictor, and oxidative stress is a probable mediator.
