Is there a relationship between serum paraoxonase level and epicardial fat tissue thickness?
CONCLUSION: Serum PON 1level is not correlated with the epicardial fat tissue thickness. But PON 1 level is lower in patients with epicardial fat tissue thickness 7 mm and over. Therefore, increased atherosclerosis progression can be found among patients with 7 mm and higher epicardial fat tissue thickness.

Evaluation of the valvular and biventricular functions in Parkinson patients using ergotamine-derived dopamine agonist: An observational study.
CONCLUSION: Our findings indicated that despite the well known effects of cabergoline on valvular functions, we did not observe any alteration in systolic functions, but diastolic functions which was associated with cumulative cabergoline dose in patients with Parkinson's disease.

Relation of presence and severity of metabolic syndrome with left atrial mechanics in patients without overt diabetes: An observational deformation imaging study.
CONCLUSION: MetSyn is associated with reduced LAs strain and LAa strain representing LA reservoir and pump function, respectively. Furthermore, LA mechanical function decreases even more with the increasing severity of the MetSyn. PMID: 24449624 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology)

Clinical features of aviators with coronary artery disease diagnosed by multislice CT angiography.
CONCLUSION: Aircrew ≥40 years old, with family history, ST/T changes on resting ECG, and equivocal results on TT even in the absence of multiple coronary risk factors may need further cardiovascular tests. MSCT is an effective and noninvasive way of detection of CAD in aircrew when needed. PMID: 24449629 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: The Anatolian Journal of Cardiology)
