The population of patients with congenital heart disease (CHD) is continuously increasing more and reaching adulthood. A significant portion these young adults will suffer from arrhythmias due to the underlying defect itself or as a sequela interventional surgical treatment. medical community encounter an challenge even most individuals complex defects nowadays become adults. Within past 20 years, management has gained remarkable progress including pharmacological treatment, catheter...
Since the late 1980s, endovascular stents have been used in treatment of several vascular lesions. In last decades, stent implantation has proposed as a reliable option for coarctation aorta. this setting, it seems to some advantages, rendering superior angioplasty alone.Between December 1997 and 2004, 71 consecutive patients (44 males 27 females) underwent cardiac catheterization native or recurrent Seventy-four were implanted. All discharged enrolled follow-up programme. Every patient...
The thymus plays a fundamental role in establishing and maintaining central peripheral tolerance defects thymic architecture or AIRE expression result the development of autoreactive lymphocytes. Patients with partial DiGeorge Syndrome (DGS) Down (DS) present alterations size higher risk to develop autoimmunity. We sought evaluate thymocyte DGS DS patients determine extent which immune dysregulation T cell homeostasis perturbation these patients. Thymi from pediatric age-matched controls...
Introduction: The aim of the study was to investigate occurrence, aetiology and management congestive heart failure in cardiac centre St. Elizabeth catholic general hospital Shisong Cameroon. Methods: Between November 2002 2008, a population 8121 patients consulted referral Catholic General Hospital. Of these patients, 462 were diagnosed with according modified Framingham criteria for diagnosis failure. Complementary investigations used confirm establish disease chest X-ray,...
The aim of the article is to study safety, efficacy, and follow-up percutaneous closure muscular ventricular septal defect (mVSD) perimembranous (pmVSD) in children.Between January 2000 June 2005, among 140 patients who underwent an mVSD or a pmVSD, 88 were aged lt;12. Two different Amplatzer devices used: occluder pmVSD occluder. Mean age weight at procedure 4.5+/-3.3 years 18.7+/-11.2 kg, respectively. Percutaneous was successfully achieved 83 subjects (94%). No deaths occurred. Thirteen...
The percutaneous closure of single atrial septal defect (ASD) is a valid alternative to surgery.To assess the feasibility treatment multiple ASDs.Between 1998 and 2007, 165 out 1280 consecutive patients undergoing ASD at our institution showed defects that were classified in four categories: double (d-ASD), multifenestrated (f-ASD), with no signs right heart overload (f-PFO), complex cases (c-ASD). following end points taken into consideration: (1) immediate procedural success; (2) long term...
Abstract In this paper, we present an exploratory study on the potential impact of holographic heart models and mixed reality technology medical training, in particular teaching complex Congenital Heart Diseases (CHD) to students. Fifty-nine students were randomly allocated into three groups. Each participant each group received a 30-minute lecture CHD condition interpretation transcatheter treatment with different instructional tools. The participants first attended which traditional slides...
The congenital heart disease (CHD) population now comprises an increasing number of older persons in their 6th decade life and beyond. We cross-sectionally evaluated patient-reported outcomes (PROs) with CHD aged 60 years or older, contrasted these PROs younger patients 40-59 18-39 years. Adjusted for demographic medical characteristics, ≥60 had a lower Physical Component Summary, higher Mental anxiety (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale-Anxiety) scores than the two categories. For...
