The natural history of right ventricular (RV) and left (LV) size function among adults with tetralogy Fallot (TOF) repair hemodynamically significant pulmonary regurgitation (PR) is not known. main aim this study was to determine changes in RV LV over time an adult population TOF regurgitation.Forty patients repaired PR were included. These identified on the basis having more than one CMR between January 2008 2015. Patients a prosthetic valve or any cardiac intervention studies excluded....
Coronary revascularization in resuscitated out of hospital cardiac arrest (OOHCA) patients has been associated with improved survival. This was a retrospective review OOHCA between 01/07/2007 and 31/03/2009 surviving to admission. Cardiac risk factors, demographics, treatment times, electrocardiogram (ECG), angiographic findings in-hospital outcomes were recorded. Of the 78 patients, 63 underwent coronary angiography. Traditional factors common this group. Chest pain occurred 33.3%...
Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy secondary to Eisenmenger syndrome can produce severe disabling pain. We report two cases treated by intravenous pamidronate infusion with good symptomatic relief. Such therapy greatly improve the quality of life end-stage cyanotic congenital heart patients.
Abstract OBJECTIVES To compare the long-term performance of Nunn and 2-patch techniques for repair complete atrioventricular septal defects. METHODS Between January 1995 December 2015, a total 188 patients (Nunn n = 41; 147) were identified from hospital databases. Univariable Cox regression was performed to calculate risk reintervention in each group. Propensity score matching used balance group RESULTS Baseline characteristics including age at surgery, weight, trisomy 21, other cardiac...
•TTE adds value in the diagnosis of a coronary artery-to-coronary sinus fistula.•AV fistula was observed via two connections between LCx and sinus.•Multimodality imaging aids artery fistula.
Epipericardial fat necrosis (EFN) is a rare and benign condition. The three cardinal features of EFN are acute pleuritic chest pain, radiological an encapsulated fatty lesion within the epipericardial presence inflammation surrounding pericardium. exact aetiology still unknown, there no known risk factors. condition appears to be transient process with associated long-term complications. In this case study, we demonstrate multitude A 29-year-old Caucasian female presented pain. There were...
Introduction: It is unknown if the Fontan circulation has an impact on sexual health in men. This study assessed self-reported and fertility men with a circulation. Aims: In this prospective, cross-sectional study, Australian ≥18 years enrolled Registry of Australia New Zealand were invited to complete International Index Erectile Function (IIEF), alongside questions assessing fertility. These data compared historical, age-matched controls. Results: Of 227 eligible men, 54 completed survey;...
Following surgical repair in infancy, a high proportion of children born with tetralogy Fallot are surviving into adulthood, and it is important that these patients monitored by an adult congenital heart disease specialist for problems complications can occur the patient.
Background Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) plays a key role in adult congenital heart disease (ACHD). However, significant number of studies are nondiagnostic due to poor image quality. Enhancement the blood pool-tissue interface with contrast-enhanced TTE (CE-TTE) can improve quality suboptimal studies. The aim this analysis was evaluate feasibility and clinical utility CE-TTE assessment patients ACHD. Methods A retrospective all performed ACHD at our institution from August 2007 May...
Objective: Sudden cardiac death (SCD) and malignant ventricular arrhythmia (VA) are increasingly recognized as important issues for people living with a Fontan circulation, but data lacking.We sought to characterize the cohort who had sudden death, most likely related VA and/or documented in Australia New Zealand Registry including risk factors clinical outcomes.Methods: A retrospective study was performed.Inclusion criteria were non-sustained tachycardia, sustained fibrillation,...
A 49-year-old woman was admitted with acute cholecystitis. Significant history included a diagnosis of Ebstein's anomaly at age 18 and congestive heart failure during two previous pregnancies. Cardiac examination revealed murmur tricuspid regurgitation. Transthoracic echocardiogram showed non-compaction the left ventricle. The patient …
Abstract Background Tetralogy of Fallot is the most common form cyanotic congenital heart disease, with patients often requiring repeated valvular interventions throughout their lifetime. Transcatheter intervention play an important role in this cohort, and have been incorporated into guidelines for management prosthetic pulmonary valve degeneration, growing observational data transcatheter procedures tricuspid position. Here we describe a patient where were utilized high surgical risk. Case...
