ABSTRACT A 21‐year‐old man, known case of the repaired congenital heart disease, developed complete atrioventricular block (AVB) one week after simultaneous bioprosthetic pulmonary and tricuspid valve replacement atrial septal defect repair. Considering persistence AVB, it was decided to implant a permanent pacemaker. After considering all available options issues related patient, leadless pacemaker (LLP). Micra implanted successfully, patient discharged in good condition without any...
Carotid artery lesions frequently coexist with coronary arterial disease (CAD). The aim of this study was to investigate the relation between carotid intima-media thickness (CIMT) and extent CAD whether CIMT could be predictive severity atherosclerosis.Coronary angiography ultrasound evaluations 100 consecutive patients who had undergone elective were reviewed. IMT measured at both arteries. relationship based on SYNTAX score assessed. cardiovascular risk factors determined.Mean overall...
β-Thalassemia is an inherited hemoglobin disorder resulting in chronic hemolytic anemia requiring transfusion therapy. Cardiac involvement the main cause of death patients with thalassemia major. The narrow border between overt myocardial dysfunction and clinically silent left ventricular (LV) thalassemia. Therefore, we need novel parameters different imaging techniques to discover cardiac early subtle stage. We explore find a novel, straightforward informative parameter echocardiography as...
Background: Restricted intakes of saturated and trans-fatty acids replacement with poly or monounsaturated fatty are emphasized in healthy diets. This study evaluates the effects a six-month consumption canola oil compared to sunflower on lipid profile anthropometric parameters people affected by dyslipidemia. Methods: randomized controlled trial was conducted 96 patients dyslipidemia, who were randomly assigned into groups. The participants instructed record contents their daily meals,...
Coronary slow flow phenomenon has been arbitrarily defined as delayed coronary blood in the absence of obstructive artery disease. The present study sought to investigate clinical features, natural history, and outcomes affected patients.In this prospective cross-sectional study, 217 consecutive patients who had undergone angiography showed features were evaluated for demographic risk factor profile, well outcomes, at baseline following treatment.The population consisted 165 (76%) males 52...
Purpose. This study is designed to compare the results of in vitro fertilisation (IVF) polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and tubal factor disorders.Materials methods. was a cohort performed Royan Institute from 2007 2009. For this evaluation, 183 patients with PCOS (control group), whose ages ranged 22 35 years underwent long protocol pituitary suppression were included study.Results. In defined time cycle, number ampoules used higher for control group (24.6 ± 0.9 versus 33.4 0.9; p <...
Congenital atresia of the left main coronary artery is a very rare form anomalies with poor clinical outcomes if untreated. Patients require surgical correction by bypass grafting after diagnosis. Here we report case congenital in 36 years old woman who had previous heart surgery this anomaly having gone undetected.
Background: Arrhythmogenic ventricular cardiomyopathy (AVC) is an inherited cardiac disorder affecting 1 in 1000 individuals worldwide. The mean diagnosed age of disease 31 years. In this article, Iranian family reported that they were affected by ARVC due to a novel PKP2 mutation. Methods: Clinical evaluations, 12-lead ECG, CMR, and signal-averaged ECG performed. After DNA extraction, genetic testing was done, PCR-sequencing applied find causal mutations. Segregation analysis also performed...
The association between epicardial fat thickness (EFT) and premature coronary artery disease (CAD) has not been elaborately studied.In the present study, we sought whether such a relationship EFT CAD exists.Sixty two consecutive subjects, under 50 years of age, who underwent angiography (CAG) with aspect CAD, were included in this case control study. They divided into groups 31 namely (cases) non-CAD (controls) group, according to CAG data. Presence conventional risk factors, drug history,...
<strong>Background:</strong> Structural heart disease (SHD) has great impacts on healthcare systems, creating further public health concerns. Proper data are scant regarding the magnitude of affected population by SHD. <strong>Objectives:</strong> This study aimed to determine prevalence SHD among children and adolescents in an Iranian population. <strong>Methods:</strong> In this population-based study, a multistage cluster-random sampling was used choose schools from Tehran urban area. All...
Background: Despite the favorable history of surgical approach to repair secundum type atrial septal defects (ASDs), transcatheter closure has increasingly become preferred strategy because its relatively high efficacy and lower morbidity compared surgery in selected cases. However, there is some controversy around long-term complications device large ASDs. Here, we evaluated early midterm outcomes adults with ASDs who underwent devices larger than 28 mm. Methods: A prospective single-center...
Abstract Takayasu arteritis is a chronic granulomatous vasculitis generally affecting large vessels including the thoracic aorta and its branches. Intimal proliferation subsequently causes segmental stenosis occlusion, frequently aneurysmal dilatation in affected vessels. Although involvement of pulmonary arteries not uncommon, isolated branch rarely encountered. Here, we report patient presenting with peripheral as primary manifestation arteritis.
Transcatheter interventions for congenital heart anomalies are constantly improving. Although correction of anomalous pulmonary venous connection is routinely achieved through surgery, there rare instances where the abnormal vein has dual connections to both left atrium and major systemic veins. Under these circumstances catheter based treatment might become a feasible option. We report case supply vertical connected upper innominate which was successfully obstructed by an occluder device...
Abstract Background Aortic coarctation is currently treated by both surgical and transcatheter methods. Patients can present with late complication of prior repair including recoarctation aneurysm formation. There are limited reports on safety efficacy thoracic endovascular aortic methods (TEVAR) in post-coarctation patients. Case presentation We report an adult patient formation following coarctoplasty successfully TEVAR method obviating the need for open heart surgery. Conclusion...
