The ESC Guidelines represent the views of and were produced after careful consideration scientific medical knowledge, evidence available at time their publication.The is not responsible in event any contradiction, discrepancy, and/or ambiguity between other official recommendations or guidelines issued by relevant public health authorities, particular relation to good use healthcare therapeutic strategies.Health professionals are encouraged take fully into account when exercising clinical...
Rheumatic heart disease is the commonest acquired cardiovascular worldwide. About 20 years have elapsed since original Euro Heart Survey on valvular (VHD) was conducted with multiple changes in practice due to advances treatment techniques. In this study, we aimed analyse management of patients severe native valve or those previous intervention comparison existing European Society Cardiology guidelines. The VHD II registry an international, prospective, longitudinal multicentre,...
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...
To assess the effect of balloon mitral valvuloplasty (BMV) on global and regional ventricular functions using 2D strain. Thirty-two patients with stenosis (MS) 30 healthy subjects underwent full echocardiographic examinations, including left ventricle (LV) right (RV) longitudinal strain (GLS) measurements. In MS patients, measurements were repeated within 24 h 3 months after BMV. Patients had lower LV RV GLS compared control group (−16.5 ± 2.7% vs. −21.0 1.5) (−18.3 4.7 −19.8 1.3),...
Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty (BPV) represents the standard of management for all patients with severe stenosis (PS) irrespective their age. Nevertheless neonates and infants critical PS represent a high-risk group that needs to be studied.The study population included 72 congenital valvular four imperforate valve (PV) who were subjected detailed history taking, full clinical examination, resting 12-lead ECG, Chest roentgenogram transthoracic echocardiography. BPV was attempted in...
Purpose: To assess left ventricular mechanical dyssynchrony (LVMD) using real time three‐dimensional echocardiography (RT3DE) and comparing it with the different indices derived from Doppler tissue imaging (DTI) for same patient. Methods: The study included 60 consecutive patients who were considered candidates CRT, i.e., having ejection fraction ≤35%, NYHA class III or ambulatory IV, QRS duration ≥120 msec, on optimal pharmacological therapy. Apical RT3DE full volumes obtained analyzed to...
Proper device size selection is a crucial step for successful ASD closure. The current gold standard balloon sizing. Balloon sizing can be tedious, time consuming and increase fluoroscopy procedure times as well risk of complications. We aimed to establish simple accurate method using three-dimensional echocardiographic interrogation the ASD.This prospective observational study conducted over period 12 months. All patients underwent 2D TTE, assessment IAS transesophageal echocardiogram....
Abstract Background Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has a growing target population after being indicated even in low-surgical-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. However, postoperative outcomes can be compromised due to para-valvular leakage (PVL). A lot of procedural steps have been investigated decrease this partially avoidable operational hazard. Oversizing is main technique the PVL, despite itself risky step. Many studies conducted identify optimum...
Ventricular septal defect (VSD) is the most common congenital heart disease. In patients with large VSD, left side chambers are subjected to volume overload subsequent dilatation and eccentric ventricular hypertrophy. Percutaneous closure of VSD has been shown be an effective method equal safety efficacy when compared surgery. The effect on LV remodeling mainly assessed in treated surgery date published data remain scarce. Therefore, we aim evaluate percutaneous different parameters....
Background: Bidirectional Glenn shunts have long been available as palliative procedures for patients with single ventricle physiology that is, unsuitable biventricular repair. In our country they are performed at an older age than recommended by the literature. So, we aim to assess post bidirectional shunt detect presence of any complications and evaluate their functional capacity. Methods: This was a descriptive study included all who underwent were referred follow up in Ain shams...
Background: Atrial septal defects (ASDs) are the second most common congenital lesion in adults.ASD closure is followed by symptomatic improvement and regression of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP), reduction right heart volume overload hence prevalence arrhythmias, thus quantification RV function an important prognostic factor.Tissue Doppler strain imaging helpful tools for assessment systolic diastolic function.Purpose: To evaluate intermediate-term outcome transcatheter ASD Septal Occluder...
Abstract Background Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TAVI) has a growing target population after being indicated even in low-surgical-risk patients with severe symptomatic aortic stenosis. However, postoperative short- and long-term outcomes can be compromised due to para-valvular leakage (PVL). A lot of manoeuvres have been investigated decrease this partially avoidable operational hazard. Oversizing is main technique the PVL, despite itself risky procedural step. Many studies...
Abstract Aim and Objectives To evaluate the long-term follow up outcome of patients who underwent percutaneous trans-catheter closure atrial septal defects during teenage life versus adulthood. Patients Methods The study included 100 with secundum type ASD were treated by transcatheter their defects. Two year after procedure in subjected to thorough history taking, physical examination,12 leads surface electrocardiogram Holter. Full 2D Doppler echocardiographic was performed addition Tissue...
Abstract Background Patent foramen ovale closure in the setting of stroke was debatable until recent data from long-term follow-up multiple randomized control trials. These have led to increase number procedure worldwide. To our knowledge, there no previous formal structured program Egypt between cardiologists and neurologists for investigation management patients with cryptogenic stroke. The first Egyptian-dedicated team created two large tertiary centers collaboration cardiologists,...
Background:The advent of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) represented a paradigm shift for treating patients with severe symptomatic stenosis (AS) who are at high or prohibitive surgical risk.With the growing experience in this field, rate periprocedural complications has decreased over time and TAVI been increasingly performed minimalist approach, evolving into safe procedure predictable outcomes.However, unlike other procedural complications, incidence conduction disturbances...
Previous studies have suggested that in cardiac surgical patients, TEE provides essential information before and after cardiopulmonary bypass regarding performance, valve function, congenital anomalies. Significant residual abnormalities may be missed during TOF repair. The result is often post-operative morbidity mortality sometimes the need for reoperation. To determine impact accuracy of perioperative assessment patients undergoing total study included 50 with referred to Cardiothoracic...

This also completed their placement.Additionally
Abstract Background Hypertension following primary coarctation repair affects up to a third of subjects. A number studies suggest that future hypertension risk is reduced if performed at younger age. This study aims assess prevalence systemic after early (within the first two years life) compared with late (after life), including both catheter-based and surgical intervention using twenty-four hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. included 30 patients who underwent successful aortic...
Abstract Background Balloon pulmonary valvuloplasty is the treatment of choice for patients with moderate to severe valve stenosis. The procedure not free complications and there still a significant rate reintervention. Objective Describe short midterm outcomes in infants undergoing balloon dilatation P.S, determine predictors Patients Methods All congenital valvular PS who underwent interventional cardiac catheterization between October 2020 april 2021 were reviewed Prospectively.
