Abstract
OBJECTIVE The MORtality in CORonary Care Units in Türkiye (MORCOR-TURK) trial is a national registry evaluating predictors and rates of in-hospital mortality in coronary care unit (CCU) patients in Türkiye. 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 Türkiye. 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.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Several clinical trials have assessed predictors for atrial fibrillation recurrence following cryoballoon catheter ablation. With these predictors, a practical and new scoring system can be developed to evaluate atrial fibrillation recurrence. The present study aimed to analyze the predictive value of the age, creatinine, and ejection fraction-left atrium score for potential recurrence of atrial fibrillation following cryoballoon catheter ablation in patients with symptomatic paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation. METHODS We retrospectively analyzed records of patients undergoing cryoballoon cath-eter ablation. atrial fibrillation recurrence was defined as an emerging atrial fibrillation episode around 12-month follow-up (with the exclusion of a 3-month blanking period). Univariate and multivariate analyses were performed to assess predictors of atrial fibrillation recurrence. In addition, receiver operating characteristic analysis was harnessed to evaluate the performance of the age, creatinine, and ejection fraction, left atrium score in determining the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence. RESULTS The study population comprised 106 subjects (age 52 ± 13 years, 63.2% women) with paroxysmal (84.9%, n = 90) or persistent (15.1%, n = 16) atrial fibrillation. age, creatinine, and ejection fraction, left atrium score was significantly higher in subjects with atrial fibrillation recurrence in comparison to those with the maintenance of sinus rhythm. However, on multivariate logistic regression analysis, only the age, creatinine, and ejection fraction, left atrium score (OR = 12.93, 95% CI: 2.22-75.21, P =.004) served as an independent predictor of atrial fibrillation recurrence following cryoballoon catheter ablation. CONCLUSION Age, creatinine, and ejection fraction, left atrium score had an independent association with the risk of atrial fibrillation recurrence in subjects with atrial fibrillation undergoing cryoballoon catheter ablation. Therefore, this score might potentially serve as a useful tool for risk stratification of patients with atrial fibrillation.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Prealbumin has been a reliable marker to predict protein energy malnutrition and hypercatabolic state. In this analysis, we particularly aimed to investigate the potential association between serum prealbumin levels and right ventricular dysfunction in patients receiving programmed hemodialysis. METHODS A total of 57 subjects were included in the analysis. The subjects were then categorized into two groups: right ventricular dysfunction (n=18) and non-right ventricular dysfunction (n=39) groups. In all patients, detailed transthoracic echocardiography (following hemodialysis) were performed along with the evaluation of complete blood count, routine biochemistry parameters, and, in particular, serum prealbumin levels. RESULTS Mortality rate at 3 years was found to be significantly higher in the right ventricular dysfunction group (p=0.042). Serum prealbumin levels were also significantly lower in the right ventricular dysfunction group compared with the non-right ventricular dysfunction group (23.83±8.50 mg/dL versus 31.38±6.81 mg/dL, p=0.001). In the receiver operating characteristics curve analysis, a prealbumin cutoff value of <28.5 mg/dL was found to predict right ventricular dysfunction, with a sensitivity of 67% and a specificity of 62% (area under the curve: 0.744). In the correlation analysis, a moderate yet significant positive correlation was demonstrated between serum prealbumin and tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (r=0.365, p=0.005). CONCLUSION This study suggests that low serum prealbumin might serve as a potential predictor of right ventricular dysfunction (and its clinical consequences) in patients receiving programmed hemodialysis.

Abstract
Background The Appropriateness of Aspirin Use in Medical Outpatients: A Multicenter, Observational Study trial has been the largest study ever conducted among patients in Turkey regarding aspirin treatment. In the subgroup analysis of the hypertensive group of the Appropriateness of Aspirin Use in Medical Outpatients: A Multicenter, Observational Study trial, we aimed to evaluate the physicians’ adherence to current guidelines regarding their aspirin treatment preferences. Methods The Appropriateness of Aspirin Use in Medical Outpatients: A Multicenter, Observational Study trial is a cross-sectional and multicenter study conducted among 5007 consecutive patients aged ≥18 years. The study population consisted of outpatients on aspirin treatment (80-300 mg). The patient data were obtained from 30 different cardiology clinics of 14 cities from all over Turkey. In this subgroup analysis, patients were divided into 2 groups: the hypertensive group (n = 3467, 69.3%) and the group without hypertension (n = 1540, 30.7%) according to the 2018 European Society of Cardiology/European Society of Hypertension Guidelines for the Management of Arterial Hypertension. Results Aspirin use for primary prevention was higher in patients with hypertension compared to patients without hypertension [328 (21.3%); 1046 (30.2%); P < .001]. Treatment with a dose of 150 mg aspirin (n = 172, 5%) was mostly preferred by internists for hypertensive patients (n =226, 6.5%); however, a daily dose of 80-100 mg aspirin therapy (n = 1457, 94.6%) was mostly prescribed by cardiologists (n = 1347, 87.5%) for patients without hypertension. Conclusion Aspirin was found to be used commonly among patients with hypertension for primary prevention despite the current European Society of Cardiology Arterial Hypertension Guideline not recommending aspirin for primary prevention in patients with hypertension.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE This study aimed to evaluate the acute effect of cryoballoon ablation (CB-A) on electrocardiographic parameters that have been suggested to reflect heterogeneity in atrial conduction and ventricular repolarization. METHODS A total of 67 patients (52.6±13.2 years, 43 men) without any exclusion criteria who had undergone CB-A for atrial fibrillation (AF) between January 01, 2015, and December 31, 2018, constituted our study population. Electrographic recordings obtained before and after the ablation procedure on the same day were retrospectively evaluated for the P-wave dispersion, QTc dispersion, Tp-Te interval, and Tp-Te/QT ratio. The pre- and post-ablation values were tested for significant differences. The association of the possible CB-A-related changes in these parameters with AF recurrence during follow-up was evaluated. RESULTS P dispersion (30.1±6.8 vs. 35.9±9.4 ms, p<0.001), QT dispersion (20.7±7.5 vs. 24.0±8.8 ms, p<0.001), Tp-Te duration (on V5 83.6±8.1 vs. 110.2±9.5 ms, p<0.001), and Tp-Te/QT ratio (on V5 0.22±0.03 vs. 0.28±0.02, p<0.001) were observed to increase significantly after CB-A. There was no association between the magnitudes of change in any parameter and AF recurrence. CONCLUSION CB-A had significant effects on electrocardiographic parameters related to atrial conduction and ventricular repolarization in the acute phase after CB-A. Further prospective studies are required to examine the time-related course of these alterations and their impact on clinical outcomes.

Abstract
AIMS This study aims to review the influence of gender-specific differences and patient demographics on cardiac device and pacing mode selection over a 10-year period. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed patients who underwent first implantation of the cardiac device between January 1, 2006 and June 31, 2016. RESULTS During the study period, 704 patients underwent first cardiac device implantation. Number of patients undergoing pacemaker was 452 and number of patients undergoing implantable cardioverter defibrillator/cardiac resynchronization therapy and defibrillator (ICD/CRT-D) was 252. Patients undergoing pacemaker were 49.9% female with mean age 72.36+11.1. The most common indication was atrioventricular block (AVB) (84%) in both genders. The most frequently used pacing modes were VVI (70.8%), but over a 10-year period pacemaker selection shifted from VVI to DDD pacemakers. Patients undergoing ICD/CRT-D were 19.7% female with mean age 62.5+10.8. The most common indications for ICD/CRT-D was ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICMP) (55.0%). The rate of male patients was higher in patients who have received device therapy for dilated cardiomyopathy (DCMP) or ICMP, whereas the rate of female patients was higher in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) patients. The most common used implanted system was VVI-ICD (60.6%). CONCLUSIONS The present study demonstrated that there was no significant difference between female and male patients in pacing mode selection, mostly VVI pacing mode was chosen; however, over a 10-year period pacemaker selection shifted from VVI to DDD pacemakers. Female patients had less ICD/CRT-D implantation than male patients.

Abstract
Background Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) therapy is well known to reduce
mortality in selected patients with heart failure (HF). Objective To investigate whether monitored episodes of non-sustained ventricular
tachycardia (NSVT) might predict future HF hospitalizations in ICD
recipients with HF. Methods We examined 104 ICD recipients (mean age: 60 ± 10.1 years, 80.8 %
male) with HF who were referred to our outpatient clinic for device
follow-up. After device interrogation, patients were divided into NSVT
positive and negative groups. The primary endpoint was the rate of
hospitalization within the next 6 months after initial ICD evaluation. Results Device evaluation demonstrated at least one episode of monitored NSVT in 50
out of 104 patients. As expected, no device therapy (shock or
anti-tachycardia) was needed for such episodes. At 6 months, 24 patients
were hospitalized due to acute decompensated HF. Hospitalization rate was
significantly lower in the NSVT negative as compared with positive groups
(38% versus 62%; adjusted hazard ratio [HR] 0.166 ; 95% CI
0.056 to 0.492; p = 0.01). Conclusions Monitored NSVT bouts in ICD recordings may serve as a predictor of future HF
hospitalizations in ICD recipients with HF suggesting optimization of
therapeutic modalities in these patients along with a close supervision in
the clinical setting.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Atrial fibrillation (AF) is one of the most common causes of preventable ischemic stroke and is related to increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. There is a lack of data in Turkey on the use of new oral anticoagulants (NOACs), and time in therapeutic INR range (TTR) in vitamin K antagonist users and AF management modality. In this multi-center trial, we aimed to analyze, follow and evaluate the epidemiological data in non-valvular AF patients. STUDY DESIGN Four thousand one hundred consecutive adult patients from 42 centers with at least one AF attack identified on electrocardiography will be included in the study. Patients with rheumatic mitral valve stenosis and prosthetic valve disease will be excluded from the study. At the end of one year, the patients will be evaluated in terms of major cardiac end points (death, transient ischemic attack, stroke, systemic thromboembolism, major bleeding and hospitalization). RESULTS First results are expected in June 2015. Data about major cardiovascular end-points will be available in January 2016. CONCLUSION The rates and kind of oral anticoagulant use, TTR in vitamin K antagonist users and main management modality applied in non-valvular AF patients will be determined by AFTER-2 study. In addition, the rate of major adverse events (MACEs) and the independent predictors of these MACEs will be detected (AFTER-2 Study ClinicalTrials.gov number, NCT02354456.).
