Standardization of the diagnostic routine for children with congenital heart disease associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH‐CHD) is crucial, in particular since inappropriate assignment to repair cardiac lesions (e.g., surgical patients elevated vascular resistance) may be detrimental and poor outcomes. Thus, members Congenital Heart Disease Pediatric Task Forces Pulmonary Vascular Research Institute decided conduct a survey aimed at collecting expert opinion from different...
Cardiac catheterization is important in the diagnosis and risk stratification of pulmonary hypertensive vascular disease (PHVD) children. Acute vasoreactivity testing provides key information about management, prognosis, therapeutic strategies, efficacy. Data obtained at cardiac continue to play an role determining surgical options for children with congenital heart clinical evidence increased resistance. The Pediatric Congenital Heart Disease Task Forces Pulmonary Vascular Research...
A descriptive study was undertaken to characterize the cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator gene mutations (CFTR) in Saudi Arabian (CF) population relation clinical presentation and demographic ethnic origin. During period October 1992 September 1997, 70 patients from 46 families were diagnosed as having CF, based on a typical picture sweat chloride levels > 60 mmol/l screened for CFTR mutations. Twelve identified 34 families, which constitutes 70% of CF alleles group. Pancreatic...
BACKGROUND: Cystic fibrosis (CF) occurs in populations Saudi Arabia and the Gulf area.Approximately 2000 known variants have been identified for CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CTFR) gene.Screening ten of most common can detect 80% alleles.OBJECTIVE: Determine pattern CFTR population Arabia.DESIGN: A retrospective, descriptive.SETTING: Tertiary care center.PATIENTS AND METHODS: We examined medical records 396 confirmed patients all age groups that were positive a variant from period...
Children with Down syndrome (DS) have an increased risk for developing pulmonary hypertension due to multiple factors, including the presence of congenital Heart disease persistent left-to-right shunts, chronic upper airway obstruction or abnormal vasculature growth.Objectives: To identify possible contributing factors PHT in patients syndrome, and role management intervention improving PHT.Methods: Retrospective chart review all that were referred services at a tertiary care center-Riyadh,...
Hypertension (previously called Saudi Advisory Group for Pulmonary Hypertension) has published the first guidelines on diagnosis and treatment of pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) back in 2008. [1]That guideline was very detailed extensive reviewed most aspects (PH).
Cystic fibrosis (CF) has been reported before in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf area. It found that screening for 10 most common cystic transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) mutations can detect 80% of positive CFTR cases.To determine geographic distribution variants 5 regions Arabia.A retrospective chart review all conducted from January 1, 1992 to December 2017.The ten population were as follows: p.Gly473GlufsX54 (17%), p.Phe508del (12%), p.Ile1234Val 3120+1G > A (11%), 711+1G T (9%),...
A descriptive study was undertaken to characterize cystic fibrosis transmembrane regulator [CFTR] gene mutations in the Saudi Arabian [CF] population relation their clinical picture, demographic features and ethnic origin. From October 1992 September 1997, 70 patients [46 families]diagnosed with CF were screened for CFTR mutations. total of 12 identified 34 families [70% alleles group]. Most native Saudis, 88% parents consanguineous marriages. The most common 1548delG I1234V. There no...
Bacterial infections in CF patients are common and start early life. The prognosis of the disease is substantially dependent on chronic respiratory infection inflammation. Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) or colonization have been established to cause a decline pulmonary function (PFT), and/or increase mortality.To obtain prevalence all bacterial pathogens our assess their evolution over time.A retrospective review 327 with confirmed age groups, who had culture samples at first visit regular...
The first cases of a rare double homozygosity two different mutations in the cystic fibrosis trans-regulator gene (CFTR) patient Saudi Arabia. Details family screening and review literature on similar are discussed.
