Baseline Hemodynamics and Response to Contrast Media During Diagnostic Cardiac Catheterization Predict Adverse Events in Heart Failure Patients.
BACKGROUND Contrast media administered during cardiac catheterization can affect hemodynamic variables. However, little is documented about the effects of contrast on hemodynamics in heart failure patients or the prognostic value of baseline and changes in hemodynamics for predicting subsequent adverse events. METHODS AND RESULTS In this prospective study of 150 heart failure patients, we mea...
متن کاملDiagnostic Cardiac Catheterization in the Pediatric Population
Although the utility of diagnostic cardiac catheterization in the clinical setting has diminished over the last years, due to the emergence of noninvasive imaging modalities, such as echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography, catheterization for diagnostic reasons still constitutes a valuable tool in certain parts in the workup of pediatric heart disease. As a result,...
متن کاملPediatric and congenital therapeutic cardiac catheterization.
T he concept that a catheter could be used for intracardiac therapy was first put into practice in 19641 with the dilation of acquired peripheral vascular stenosis by graduated rigid dilators. Isolated cases of intracardiac therapy with a catheter had appeared as early as 19532; however, the balloon atrial septostomy developed by Dr. Rashkind and reported in 19663 was the first pediatric and th...
متن کاملPatient-specific dose and radiation risk estimation in pediatric cardiac catheterization.
BACKGROUND Because of the higher radiosensitivity of infants and children compared with adults, there is a need to evaluate the doses delivered to pediatric patients who undergo interventional cardiac procedures. However, knowledge of the effective dose in pediatric interventional cardiology is very limited. METHODS AND RESULTS For an accurate risk estimation, a patient-specific Monte Carlo s...
متن کاملContrast-Induced Neurotoxicity following Cardiac Catheterization
We report a case of probable contrast-induced neurotoxicity that followed a technically challenging cardiac catheterization in a 69-year-old woman. The procedure had involved the administration of a large cumulative dose of an iodinated, nonionic contrast medium into the innominate artery: twelve hours following the catheterization, the patient developed a seizure followed by a left hemiplegia,...
