Abstract Aims There is currently no gold standard in evaluating frailty patients with heart failure (HF), and the prognostic value of according to Canadian Study Health Aging Clinical Frailty Scale (CFS) on mortality HF still unknown. Methods results Among consecutive 596 after their discharge from Kokura Memorial Hospital (Kitakyushu, Japan) during 2015, at was assessed CFS. Patients were classified into three groups: low ( N = 232, 38.9%), intermediate 230, 38.6%), high 134, 22.5%). The...
Background Patients with heart failure (HF) experience a wide variety of symptoms. Appropriate recognition symptoms is important in HF care. The Heart Failure Somatic Perception Scale (HFSPS) measures the presence and degree to which physical are bothersome. Objective aim this study was assess validity reliability Japanese version HFSPS. Methods Confirmatory factor analysis used structural validity. Construct assessed using Spearman's rank correlation coefficient evaluate association between...
Aortic complex rupture is one of the most critical complications associated with transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Its incidence rare, and its mechanism varies by case; therefore, it difficult to identify predictors rupture. Herein, we report a clinical case series Within our cohort, frequency was 0.8% (4/497 consecutive patients) an in-hospital mortality 0. Among these four patients rupture, two underwent emergent thoracotomy surgical hemostasis without heart-lung machine...
A 42-year-old Nepali man with no medical history presented exertional dyspnoea for 1 week. Cardiac tamponade was diagnosed and emergency pericardiocentesis showed a haemorrhagic pericardial effusion which negative microbiology malignant cells, symptoms were markedly relieved. Transthoracic echocardiography …
We report a case of broncho-mediastinal fistula in 73-year-old man who presented with fever and hoarseness. Chest computed tomography showed 35 × 45-mm mass the left hilum an adjacent cavity measuring 60 25 mm. He was diagnosed as having squamous cell carcinoma lung on basis sputum cytology. Flexible bronchoscopy revealed between lingular bronchus mediastinal cavity. The patient died massive hemoptysis 1 month later, apparently result rupture pulmonary artery.
Surgical revascularization is performed to preserve limb and maintain functional status of patients with critical ischemia (CLI). The PREVENT III risk score helps predict the postoperative course CLI. However, this not available estimate amputation or death properly in hemodialysis (HD) tissue loss (HD: 4 points, Tissue loss: 3 points), because they are classified as a high-risk group. Therefore, we investigated 213 revascularized HD for CLI proposed prognosis (PAD score). PAD...
Postoperative right heart failure is a poor prognostic factor after cardiac surgery. However, the factors that influence perioperative ventricular (RV) function remain unknown. This study investigated whether preoperative pulmonary hypertension (PH) affects changes in RV systolic during period. aimed to determine effect of PH on patients undergoing aortic or mitral valve was retrospective review three-dimensional echocardiographic datasets 157 Patients were classified into (n = 105) non-PH...
Abstract Background Löffler endocarditis is a condition characterized by cardiac infiltration of eosinophils. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality for the diagnosis myocardial damage. Case summary This case 77-year-old man with acute decompensated heart failure who was admitted. Transthoracic echocardiography showed preserved left ventricular (LV) systolic function along LV thrombi attached to septo-apical wall and posterior wall, consistent endocarditis. MRI revealed...
Abstract Background Excessive liquorice ingestion sometimes causes pseudoaldosteronism. The association between liquorice-induced pseudoaldosteronism and acute heart failure has not been well described. Case summary An 89-year-old woman was referred to the hospital due muscle weakness with rhabdomyolysis severe hypokalaemia. electrocardiogram in emergency department revealed pulseless ventricular tachycardia, thus, emergent defibrillation delivered. Laboratory findings hypokalaemia metabolic...
Successful surgical management of spontaneous pneumothorax usually depends on identifying the pleural fistula that is causing air leak. However, exact location leak preoperatively typically impossible. A peculiar thin-walled bulla located in azygoesophageal recess can cause patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). 61-year-old man a history COPD presented exertional dyspnea. Chest radiography revealed right pneumothorax. Upon reviewing previous chest computed tomography...
肺内伏針は，肺化膿症や膿胸などの感染症を合併する可能性や有害物質を含有している可能性があることから発見次第，早期の外科的摘出術が望ましいとされる．今回，我々は長期間にわたり体内に存在していた伏針を透視を併用した胸腔鏡下肺部分切除術で摘出した．症例は63歳男性，25年前に胸部の伏針を指摘されたが放置していた．他科術前検査にて胸腔内迷入針を疑われ，当科紹介となった．針の侵入経路は不明だが，幼少時に家業として縫製業が営まれており，経胸壁侵入を疑った．透視で確認しながら，胸腔鏡下にて異物を含む縦隔脂肪織と一塊にして右肺部分切除術を施行した．伏針は腐食脆弱化し，異物のみの摘出術は困難であったため，周囲組織との一括切除を必要とした．その際に術中透視は異物の同定と完全切除に有効であった．
