Cardiac growth after pediatric heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND To assess whether normal cardiac growth occurs after heart transplantation in the pediatric age group, we performed a study of 13 infants and children who underwent orthotopic heart transplantation at Stanford. METHODS AND RESULTS The echocardiographic data from a population of 93 normal children were analyzed to determine estimates of the fifth, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 95th percenti...
متن کاملHeart rate after cardiac transplantation.
Two patients who have undergone heart transplantation 7 and 15 months previously were studied to determine basal heart rate, the effects of exercise, and acute changes in venous return and blood pressure as well as of vagal stimulation. In one case the effects of body temperature, isoprenaline (isoproterenol), beta blockade, and atropinization on heart rate were studied. Mean resting heart rate...
متن کاملCardiac and Pulmonary Transplantation Pediatric lung transplantation
The application of lung transplantation to the pediatric population was a natural extension of the success realized in our adult transplantation program, which began in 1982. Twenty pediatric patients (age range 3 to 18 years) have had heart-lung (n = 11), double lung (n = 8), and single lung (n = 1) transplantation procedures. The causes of end-stage lung disease were primary pulmonary hyperte...
متن کاملImpairment of heart rate recovery after peak exercise predicts poor outcome after pediatric heart transplantation.
BACKGROUND A blunted heart rate recovery (HRR) from peak exercise is associated with adverse outcome in adults with ischemic heart disease. We assessed HRR after pediatric heart transplantation (HTx) and its prognostic use. METHODS AND RESULTS Between 2004 and 2010 we performed 360 maximal exercise tests (median, 2 tests/patient; range, 1-7) in 128 children (66 men; age at test, 14 ± 3 years)...
متن کاملHeart failure CARDIAC TRANSPLANTATION
As a consequence of improved management in acute coronary syndromes and improved longevity of the population, the number of patients with heart failure is growing. The prevalence and incidence in industrialised countries are estimated to be around 1% and 0.15% of the population, respectively. Up to 10% of people with heart failure are at an advanced stage, amounting to 300 000 patients in the U...
