Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is the most common type of heart arrhythmia. Hypertension (HTN) is known as the most common risk factor for AF. The purpose of this study is to compare clinical results of combined renal denervation and pulmonary vein isolation on AF patients with HTN. Zhai et al from China made this meta-analysis.

Transient receptor potential channels, which play a critical role in signal transduction, have been implicated in hypertension based on previous studies in cell culture and animal models. Dokumacı et al from Türkiye studied for the first time to analyze aortic tissue from patients with primary hypertension on these channels. Contribution to pathogenesis?

Renal function in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) can be disrupted due to hypotension, low cardiac output, and venous pressure overload, because of the its dependency on the pressure gradient between systemic arterial and venous circulations. Tokgöz et al from Türkiye aimed to investigate whether measures of venous and pulmonary circulations determine renal function in patients with PH. The role of creatinin level?

Aktaş et al from Türkiye investigated the relationship between neutrophil percentage-albumin ratio and collateral circulation in patients with chronic total occlusion. New data?

Yamashita et al from USA compared the clinical outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve replacement for severe aortic stenosis in patients with different flow-gradient and left ventricular ejection fraction profiles. Results for five groups?

The relationship between whole blood viscosity and in-stent restenosis in patients with prior coronary stent implantation who underwent coronary angiography for chronic coronary syndrome was investigated by Çalapkulu et al from Türkiye. And an editorial was written by Hasan Arı on this topic.

And again a case report, letters, e-page originals.

I hope this new issue of our journal will be interest of our readers.
