Abstract Background: To evaluate the mid and long‐term prognosis after stenting of native or recurrent CoA, we studied cardiovascular parameters in follow‐up period up to 13 years. Methods results: Between 1993 2006, 68 patients underwent stent implantation for aortic coarctation (average age 25.5 years, range 5.7–65 average weight 65.5 kg, 32–122 kg). Forty‐six (68%) were aged >17 Stenting was performed 41 27 patients, 23 (34%) with a covered stent. Redilation carried out 26 (38%)...
Electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) is shown to be effective in many psychiatric illnesses, but its distorted projection by the Pakistani media and unregulated use physicians across country have adversely affected acceptability. Given this situation we aimed assess awareness perceptions regarding ECT as a treatment modality among patients. This was questionnaire based cross-sectional study carried out at 2 tertiary care hospitals Karachi, Pakistan. We interviewed 190 patients of which 140 were...
Abstract This study aims to compare 2 common induction strategies, basiliximab and ATG. Analysis of the ISHLT transplant registry was performed. The database queried for pediatric heart transplants from January 1, 2000, June 30, 2015, who had received with or Primary end‐point graft survival. Secondary end‐points included 1‐year survival conditional There were 3158 ATG cohort younger, more likely have congenital disease be a retransplant, higher PRA, longer ischemic time, been transplanted...
Tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE) has emerged as a novel and reliable measure of right ventricular (RV) function. The purpose this study was to determine the effect pulmonary hypertension (PH) therapy on TAPSE in pediatric patients compare other quantitative measures RV function.A retrospective review medical records echocardiograms PH clinic from January 2011 August 2013 done. Echocardiograms were analyzed prior initiation or addition drug at least 8 weeks later. Following...
Abstract Background: The cardiovascular adaptations associated with structured exercise training in Fontan patients remain unknown. We hypothesised that short-term causes cardiac remodelling and parallel improvement maximal capacity (VO2 max) these patients. Methods Results: Five patients, median age 19.5 (17.6–21.3) years, a history of operation meeting inclusion/exclusion criteria, participated 3-month programme designed to improve endurance. Magnetic resonance images for assessment...
Abstract Significant inter‐ and intra‐center practice variability is present in pediatric donor heart acceptability. This may contribute to variation the refusal rate impact waitlist time, morbidity, mortality, transplant rates. In order reduce variability, our center developed implemented a comprehensive strategy regarding acceptance September 2017. The aim of this study was assess on time outcomes as well early post‐transplant outcomes. We performed single‐center, retrospective analysis...
Pediatric donor heart acceptability differs among transplant centers. However, the impact of center acceptance on waitlist and posttransplant outcomes has not been investigated. The aim our study was to investigate associations between refusal rate (RR) after listing.Retrospective analysis performed using United Network for Organ Sharing/Organ Procurement Transplant pediatric (<18 y) data from 2007 2017. Center RR defined as median number refusals per listed patient. Associations quartile...
Background: Calf muscles are essential for preserving functional mobility and balance. Preventing falls improving adult rehabilitation techniques require an understanding of how calf muscle exhaustion affects balance performance on assessments. Methodology: This experimental study employed pre–post repeated measures design to fatigue was induced using a single-leg heel rise test at metronome tempo 46 beats/min until fatigue. The sample consisted 200 adults (18–35 years) from private...
Abstract Background There are conflicting data regarding the relationship between center volume and outcomes in pediatric heart transplantation. Previous studies have not fully accounted for differences case mix, particularly high‐risk congenital disease (CHD) groups. We aimed to evaluate using Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS) Registry explore how mix may affect outcomes. Methods A retrospective cohort study of all patients PHTS who received a transplant from 2009 2018 was...
This study examined the association between psychological distress, hope, and quality of life in patients with hepatitis. A correlational research design was employed, 200 hepatitis (100 males & 100 females) were chosen using purposive sampling from various hospitals Faisalabad city. The variables evaluated Kessler distress scale, hope index, scale. data analyzed Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS). results indicate a substantial negative both life, strong positive quality....
Introduction: Fontan circulatory failure (FCF) is associated with poor long-term survival. The impact of Fontan-specific morbidities on outcomes in those evaluated for heart transplant (HT) are not well understood. Hypothesis: FCF-specific morbidities, their degree severity, and the accumulation mortality individuals undergoing HT. Methods: This 20 center, retrospective cohort study FCF from 2008-2023 collected data waitlist (WL), post-HT outcomes. Each unique morbidity was defined graded...
Abstract Background Fontan circulatory failure (FCF) is a chronic state in palliated single ventricle heart disease with high morbidity and mortality including failure, multisystem end-organ disease, need for transplant. Specific FCF morbidities have not been rigorously defined, limiting study of how impact pre- post-HT outcomes. We hypothesized that FCF-related affect survival from transplant waitlisting through 1-year post-heart Methods This 20-center, retrospective cohort collected...
Anaemia is the commonest nutritional deficiency disorder in world. easily treatable and largely preventable disease if timely detected conducted structured teaching programme collected 60 samples assess effectiveness of beetroot juice with jaggery on iron anaemia shows post-test. Post-test revealed improvement Hb level use jaggery. Out 10(15%) were having normal haemoglobin 20(35%) mild 10(40%) moderate 10(10%) severe anaemia. Date using pretest post-test analysed data Chi-square test T...
Abstract The Advanced Cardiac Therapies Improving Outcomes Network (ACTION) and Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS) convened a working group at the beginning of 2020 during COVID-19 pandemic, with aim using telehealth as an alternative medium to provide quality care high-acuity paediatric population receiving advanced cardiac therapies. An algorithm was developed determine appropriateness, educational handouts were for both patients providers, post-visit surveys collected. Telehealth...
Abstract Purpose Although waitlist mortality is unacceptably high, nearly half of donor heart offers are rejected by pediatric transplant centers. The Advanced Cardiac Therapy Improving Outcome Network (ACTION) and Pediatric Heart Transplant Society (PHTS) convened a multi‐institutional decision discussion forum (DDDF) aimed at assessing acceptance practices reducing practice variation. Methods A 1‐h‐long virtual DDDF for providers across North America, the United Kingdom, Brazil was held...
Abstract Ischemic cardiomyopathy with resultant refractory HF may occur in patients WBS, often as the result of coronary involvement SVAS. The rapid development arteriopathy at a young age raises concerns regarding transplant candidacy due to progressive stenoses other arterial sites potential detrimental impact on long‐term heart graft function. We report 2‐month‐old male infant diagnosed mild aortic stenosis during neonatal period, but subsequently developed rapidly supravalvar and artery...
