Doppler echocardiography is commonly used to estimate systolic pulmonary artery pressure and diagnose hypertension, but data relating its utility in patients with advanced lung disease are limited. In a cohort study of 374 transplant candidates, the performance characteristics compared right heart catheterization determination diagnosis hypertension were investigated. The prevalence was 25% population. Estimation by possible 166 (44%). correlation between estimated measured cardiac good (r =...
The aim of this study was to assess the significance malperfusion syndromes in patients with acute type A aortic dissection following a contemporary surgical management algorithm and effects on morbidity, hospital mortality, long-term survival. We believe that obliteration primary tear site restoration flow true lumen results decreased need for revascularization malperfused organ systems.Our operative approach aims at replacing entire ascending aorta, resuspension valve repair or replacement...
The incidence and impact of clinical stroke silent radiographic cerebral infarction complicating open surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR) are poorly characterized.We performed a prospective cohort study subjects ≥65 years age who were undergoing AVR for calcific stenosis. Subjects evaluated by neurologists preoperatively postoperatively underwent postoperative magnetic resonance imaging. Over 4-year period, 196 enrolled at 2 sites (mean age, 75.8±6.2 years; 36% women; 6% nonwhite)....
Background Aortic syndromes (ASs), including aortic dissection, intramural hematoma, and penetrating ulcer, carry significant acute long-term morbidity mortality. However, the contemporary incidence outcomes of AS are unknown. Methods Results We used Rochester Epidemiology Project record linkage system to identify all Olmsted County, MN, residents with (1995-2015). Diagnostic imaging, medical records, death certificates were reviewed confirm diagnosis subtype. Age- sex-adjusted rates...
BACKGROUND: Vitamin K antagonists are the only oral anticoagulants approved to prevent valve thrombosis and valve-related thromboembolism in patients with mechanical heart valves. Whether an On-X aortic can be safely anticoagulated apixaban is unknown. METHODS: Patients implanted at least 3 months before enrollment were randomly assigned receive 5 mg twice daily or warfarin (target international normalized ratio 2.0 3.0). The primary efficacy end point was composite of coprimary analyses...
Bicuspid aortic valves (BAVs) are associated with premature valve stenosis, regurgitation, and ascending aneurysms. We compared size in BAV patients control matched valvular lesions (aortic or mixed lesions) to determine whether intrinsic abnormalities BAVs account for dilatation beyond that caused by hemodynamic derangement alone.Diameters of the left ventricular outflow tract, sinus Valsalva, sinotubular junction, proximal aorta were measured from transthoracic echocardiograms 118...
Primary graft dysfunction is a severe acute lung injury syndrome after transplantation. Long-term outcomes of subjects with primary have not been studied.We sought to test the relationship both short- and long-term mortality using large registry.We used data collected on 5,262 patients in United Network for Organ Sharing/International Society Heart Lung Transplantation registry between 1994 2000. We assessed all subjects; assess potential bias from effects early mortality, we also evaluated...
