Abstract Background: Congenital heart Disease (CHD) is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality. Pulse-oximetry good non-invasive simple tool for critical CHD screening. Implications this may be possible in certain areas non-practical others. We aim to report on the preliminary results recent ongoing protocol concerning use pulse-oximetry detecting newborn Egypt. Patients & Methods: All neonates born or transferred 10 university hospitals during period between February November...
Recent advances in machine learning provide new possibilities to process and analyse observational patient data predict outcomes. In this paper, we introduce a processing pipeline for cardiogenic shock (CS) prediction from the MIMIC III database of intensive cardiac care unit patients with acute coronary syndrome. The ability identify high-risk could possibly allow taking pre-emptive measures thus prevent development CS. We mainly focus on techniques imputation missing by generating...
Abstract Background COVID-19 has challenged the health system organization requiring a fast reorganization of diagnostic/therapeutic pathways for patients affected by time-dependent diseases such as acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Aim To describe ACS hospitalizations, management, and complication rate before after pandemic was declared. Design Ecological retrospective study. Methods: We analyzed aggregated epidemiological data all > 18 years old admitted in twenty-nine hub cardiac...
Background Left ventricular hypertrophy ( LVH ) is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. There a strong association between metabolic syndrome (MetS) and in hypertensive patients. However, the relation MetS absence of hypertension has not been studied. Aim Work To study impact on LV mass patients without hypertension. Subjects Methods Fifty 50 healthy control subjects were enrolled. Twelve‐lead electrocardiography, laboratory testing, echocardiography done with assessment...
This study was carried out to investigate the morphometric parameters and variations of coronary ostia in hearts adult human cadavers angiographs.The 60 400 angiographs were used this study.The root aorta carefully dissected clear aortic sinuses, ostia, sinutubular junction (STJ).Number, locations, internal diameter distance between their corresponding STJ, sinus bottom, valve commissures investigated.The anterior (AAS) revealed a single ostium for right artery (RCA) 77.5% male 80% female...
Abstract Transcatheter technique for muscular ventricular septal defect closure remains challenging, particularly in small patients. We report the successful use of low profile Amplatzer Duct Occluder II multiple an infant with D‐transposition great arteries, status postpulmonary artery banding. The apical defects were successfully closed two and one Muscular Ventricular Septal Defect during interventional catheterizations. patient subsequently underwent surgical repair. © 2011 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.
Background: There is an association between coronary artery disease (CAD) and increased carotid-intima media thickness (IMT), a surrogate index of atherosclerosis. This poorly studied in asymptomatic subjects with risk factors CAD. Aim: To study the relationship carotid-IMT, flow reserve (CFR) cardiac function young hypertensive subjects. Methods: includes 82 essential hypertension, 78 healthy control Carotid-IMT was assessed B-mode ultrasonography. Treadmill exercise test, CFR echo Doppler...
In patients with hypoplastic left heart syndrome who experience the Norwood surgical palliative program, development of pulmonary artery branches is crucial. Balloon dilation and stenting may relieve potential stenosis but complete occlusion remains difficult to address transcatheter therapy. We report use radiofrequency followed by balloon treat a long segment in 15-month-old boy bidirectional Glenn. The was successfully recanalized an excellent short-term outcome. This further enhances...
Abstract Background QT dispersion (QTd) is related to regional variations in myocardial repolarization. Our study aims assess the value of QTd prediction ischemia and its severity during stress imaging. We enrolled one hundred patients having stable coronary artery disease (CAD) fulfilling “Appropriateness criteria for cardiac radionuclide imaging” (MPI). They were divided into group I including with MPI-detected (50 patients) II normal perfusion scan patients). excluded unstable CAD all...
Congenital pulmonary stenosis (PS) is a progressive disease. Balloon valvuloplasty (BPV) the treatment of choice in valvular PS.We aim to study relationship between biomarkers and echocardiographic markers PS assess impact BPV on these markers.Patients with moderate severe amenable for were recruited. Serum troponin I was measured. Echocardiographic assessment right ventricular (RV) function done. All patients underwent BPV. Troponin level data re-assessed 2 weeks 6 months after BPV.Fifty...
Concurrent evidence about cardiogenic shock (CS) characteristics, treatment and outcome does not represent a global spectrum of patients is therefore limited. The aim this study was to investigate these regional differences.To differences in presentation treatments outcomes treated with all types single calendar year on multi-national level. Consecutive from 19 tertiary care hospitals 13 countries CS who were between January 1, 2018 December 31, enrolled study.In total, 699 included study....
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes. Silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) common diabetes associated poorer prognosis. Myocardial performance index "Tei index" that reflects both left ventricular (LV) systolic diastolic function. The aim our study was to test the value Tei prediction SMI asymptomatic type 2 diabetes.Asymptomatic were included study. We excluded known CAD, previous revascularization, low ejection fraction, or...
Objective The aims of the study were to assess performance cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR)-derived chamber volumes and volume ratios identify group 2 pulmonary hypertension (PH) patients determine their cutoff values with highest sensitivity specificity. Methods One hundred six underwent CMR, months after diagnosis PH by right heart catheterization. We classified capillary wedge pressure greater than 15 mm Hg as PH. Cardiac indexed body surface area correlated type Their specificity detect...
Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a strong prognostic parameter in patients with heart disease.The assessment of global longitudinal strain (GLS) from speckle-tracking analysis 2-dimensional echocardiography has become clinically feasible alternative to LVEF for the measurement myocardial function.Objective: The aim current work was compare between GLS speckle tracking and Simpson's biplane methods left function non-STEMI patients.Patients methods: This study carried...
Background: There are high impact of COVID-19 disease on cardiovascular system in either acute or recovery phase. The cardiac complications easily reflected by electrocardiography and echocardiography. Aim: To predict significant affection throughout course infection using . Methods: This retrospective cohort study was conducted at Cardiology Department, Faculty Medicine isolation department Zagazig University Hospitals during the period 2021 to 2022 100 cases with suspected confirmed...
Background: QT duration represents the time of whole summated electric cardiac ventricular activity involving stepwise depolarization followed by repolarization.There has been a long history using surface electrocardiogram (ECG) to identify repolarization problems.The 1960s were turning point for precise mathematical methodologies.It customary in clinical practice use only interval and polarity shape T wave when evaluating an (ECG).This terminology, such as "non-specific ST segment...
Background: Although coronary flow reserve (CFR) is reduced in hypertensive patients, data regarding the endothelial response of vasomotion and its relation to left ventricular (LV) function their offspring limited. Objective: To investigate flow, using cold pressor test (CPT), parents impact on LV diastolic function. Subjects Methods: The study population consisted 32 healthy young (mean age 23.5 ± 7.1 years) 26 aged matched volunteers (healthy normotensive parents) as controls. Coronary...
Abstract Background Hypertension may cause target organ damage (TOD). Target blood pressure (BP) management not be appropriate in some conditions. Aim We aim to assess the impact of targeted BP severe hypertension on renal TOD. Patients & methods This is a prospective cohort study involving patients admitted due (BP > 180/120) associated with any symptoms.
