The effect of coronary slow flow on ventricular repolarization parameters
(ScienceDirect, 2023) Karahan, Mehmet Zülkif; Aktan, Adem; Güzel, Tuncay; Günlü, Serhat; Kılıç, Raif
Introduction: Ischemia due to microvascular dysfunction may be responsible for the heterogeneity of ventricular repolarization in coronary slow flow. To our knowledge, there is no study in which QT interval, Tp-Te interval, index of cardiac-electrophysiological balance (iCEB), and frontal QRS-T angle were evaluated together in patients with CSF. In this study, we examined for the first time the relationship between all these myocardial repolarization parameters and CSF. Materials and methods: The study group included 178 patients (99 female, mean age: 50.6 ± 8.6 years) with isolated CSF without stenotic lesions and with angiographically proven normal coronary arteries. The control group included 120 patients (71 female, mean age: 49.3 ± 9.4 years) with normal coronary angiography. QRS duration, QT interval, QTc interval, Tp-Te interval, Tp-Te/QT, Tp- Te/QTc, iCEB score, and frontal QRS-T angle were calculated from 12‑lead ECGs. Results: There was no significant difference in demographic parameters between the two groups. Compared with the control group, patients with CSF had significantly longer QTmax duration, QT dispersion, Tp-Te interval, and higher iCEB score, wider frontal QRS-T angle. Conclusion: In our study, we found that many of the ventricular repolarization parameters were adversely affected in patients with CSF. Impaired parameters may be associated with the risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias.

The prognostic value of ORBIT risk score in predicting major bleeding in patients with acute coronary syndrome
(ScienceDirect, 2023) Günlü, Serhat; Arpa, Abdulkadir; Kayan, Fethullah; Güzel, Tuncay; Kılıç, Raif; Aktan, Adem; Altintaş, Bernas; Karahan, Mehmet Zülkif
Background: The most significant adverse effect of antithrombotic medication in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is major bleeding, which is related to increased mortality. Studies on ORBIT risk score in predicting major bleeding in ACS patients are limited. Objective: This research aimed to examine whether the ORBIT score calculated at the bedside can identify major bleeding risk in patients with ACS. Methods: This research was retrospective, observational, and conducted at a single center. Analyses of receiver operating characteristics (ROC) were utilized to define the diagnostic value of CRUSADE and ORBIT scores. The predictive performances of the two scores were compared using DeLong's method. Discrimination and reclassification performances were evaluated by the integrated discrimination improvement (IDI), and net reclassification improvement (NRI). Results: The study included 771 patients with ACS. The mean age was 68.7 ± 8.6 years, with 35.3 % females. 31 patients had major bleeding. Twenty-three of these patients were BARC 3 A, five were BARC 3 B, and three were BARC 3 C. Bleeding history [OR (95 % CI), 2.46 (1.02-5.94), p = 0.021], hemoglobin levels [OR (95 % CI), 0.54 (0.45-0.63), p < 0.001], and age > 74 years [OR (95 % CI), 1.03 (1.01-1.06), p = 0.039] were independent predictors of major bleeding. The ORBIT score was an independent predictor of major bleeding in the multivariate analysis: continuous variables [OR (95 % CI), 2.53 (2.61-3.95), p < 0.001] and risk categories [OR (95 % CI), 3.06 (1.69-5.52), p < 0.001]. Comparison of c-indexes for major bleeding events revealed a non-significant difference for the discriminative ability of the two tested scores (p = 0.07) with a continuous NRI of 6.6 % (p = 0.026) and an IDI of 4.2 % (p < 0.001). Conclusion: In ACS patients, the ORBIT score independently predicted major bleeding.
