    Laboratory and Imaging Evaluation of Cardiac Involvement in Patients With Post-Acute Covid-19
    (Dove Medical Press Ltd, 2021) Saricam, Ersin; Dursun, Ali Dogan; Sariyildiz, Gulcin Turkmen; Can, Nalan; Bozkurt, Engin; Gonullu, Ugur; Unlu, Mustafa; Anesthesia Program; Basic Sciences
    Background: In the post-acute COVID-19 syndrome, many patients suffer from palpitations, effort-associated fatigue, and even sudden death. The mechanism of heart involvement in this syndrome is uncertain. The main purpose of the study was to identify possible cardiac involvement causes in patients with post-acute COVID-19 by using biomarkers such as NT-proBNP and nitric oxide (NO) and cardiac imaging modalities. Methods: In this cross-sectional study, a total of 105 participants were included according to the existence of symptoms, and 40 of these participants were asymptomatic patients. The ages of the participants ranged from 20 to 50 years. All patients were healthy before COVID-19. The symptoms were defined as palpitations and/or fatigue association with exercise in post-acute COVID-19 term. The comparison of the two groups was made by using biochemical parameters (NT-proBNP, Troponin I, NO) and imaging techniques (echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) and cardiac positron emission tomography (PET)). Results: The symptomatic patients had higher NT-proBNP levels compared with asymptomatic patients (132.30 +/- 35.15; 76.86 +/- 16.79, respectively; p < 0.001). Interestingly, the symptomatic patients had lower NO levels than asymptomatic patients (9.20 +/- 3.08; 16.15 +/- 6.02, respectively; p < 0.001). Echocardiography and CMR were normal. However, we found regional increased 18F-FDG uptake on cardiac PET to be compatible with myocardial fatigue. Conclusion: We found elevated NT-proNBP levels, low serum NO levels, and increased 18F-FDG uptake on cardiac PET in post-acute COVID syndrome. Cardiac PET could replace or be added to CMR for detecting subtle subacute/chronic myocarditis. The follow-up of patients with post-acute COVID-19 could target the possibility of risk of heart failure.

    Clinical and Laboratory Evaluation of Acute Pericarditis Associated With Antinuclear Antibodies Positivity
    (Bentham Science Publ Ltd, 2023) Dursun, Ali Dogan; Saricam, Ersin; Erdem, Hakan; Sariyildiz, Gulcin Turkmen; Ozyer, Esref Umut; Bozkurt, Engin; Cantekin, Omer Faruk; Anesthesia Program; Basic Sciences
    Background Up to 30% of patients with acute pericarditis develop recurrent pericarditis. Acute pericarditis may be a manifestation of an underlying systemic autoimmune disease. Therefore, we evaluated the characteristics of patients with acute pericarditis according to antinuclear antibodies (ANA) positivity/negativity. Methods Participants with acute pericarditis and negative ANA (n=29), recurrent pericarditis with positive ANA (n=30) and healthy controls (n=11) were examined. The groups were compared using serum parameters (ANA, C-reactive protein, leucocyte count, erythrocyte sedimentation rate, total antioxidant status, nitric oxide (NO), and oxidative stress index (OSI)) and imaging techniques (electrocardiogram, echocardiography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance, and venous Doppler ultrasound). Results In females, acute pericarditis associated with ANA occurred more frequently (p<0.001). ANA-positive acute pericarditis had significantly lower NO and OSI (p<0.05 and p<0.001, respectively) and pericardial inflammation on magnetic resonance. We found a pulmonary embolism in one patient with positive ANA. Slow venous flow (SVF) occurred more often in acute pericarditis associated with ANA than in the ANA-negative group on venous ultrasound (p<0.05). The prevalence of positive ANAs was 1.6 times higher among SVF patients than in controls. Conclusion This study suggests that acute pericarditis associated with ANA is more common in middle-aged females. SVF and lower oxidative stress tests were more common in patients with ANA-associated acute pericarditis. Acute pericarditis associated with ANA could be considered as a hypercoagulable state. Therefore, all newly diagnosed pericarditis patients (especially females) should be checked for ANA positivity. Awareness of this coexistence should be promptly addressed to establish management strategies.
