Increased myocardial lactate oxidation in lambs with aortopulmonary shunts at rest and during exercise.
Free fatty acids are the major fuels for the myocardium, but during a higher load carbohydrates are preferred. Previously, we demonstrated that myocardial net lactate uptake was higher in lambs with aortopulmonary shunts than in control lambs. To determine whether this was caused by an increased lactate uptake and oxidation or by a decreased lactate release, we studied myocardial lactate and gl...
متن کاملCross sectional and Doppler echocardiographic evaluation of aortopulmonary shunts.
BACKGROUND Shunt vessels were imaged and shunt flow was analysed by cross sectional and Doppler echocardiography in 12 patients who had had 14 shunt procedures (nine left Blalock-Taussig shunts, three right Blalock-Taussig shunts, one modified Waterston shunt, and one central shunt). METHODS The shunt vessels were classified by echocardiography as uniformly patent, segmentally stenosed, and u...
متن کاملDefinitive palliation with cavopulmonary or aortopulmonary shunts for adults with single ventricle physiology.
OBJECTIVE To compare the relative merits of cavopulmonary or aortopulmonary shunts, or both, as definitive non-Fontan palliations for patients with single ventricle physiology. DESIGN Clinical data, ECG, echocardiographic data, surgical records, and available postmortem material were reviewed in all patients with single ventricle physiology identified from the University of Toronto Congenital...
متن کاملStaging work-up of patients with esophageal cancer
Accurate staging of disease in patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer is necessary in order to instigate appropriate curative or palliative therapy. The guidelines presented in this paper are suggested for the initial work-up of patients with newly diagnosed esophageal cancer, yet may be varied according to local preferences and availability of imaging technologies.
