Placental Insufficiency and Fetal Heart: Doppler Ultrasonographic and Biochemical Markers of Fetal Cardiac Dysfunction
The first aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between Doppler ultrasonographic parameters and biochemical markers of human fetal cardiac dysfunction and myocardial cell damage in pregnancies complicated by placental insufficiency and/or fetal growth restriction. Our second aim was to examine fetal central and peripheral hemodynamic characteristics associated with retrograde ao...
متن کاملUltrasonographic and biochemical markers of human fetal cardiac dysfunction in placental insufficiency.
BACKGROUND Placental insufficiency may lead to fetal cardiovascular compromise. We sought to determine whether ultrasonographic parameters of fetal cardiovascular function correlate with umbilical arterial levels of biochemical markers of myocardial dysfunction and damage in placental insufficiency. METHODS AND RESULTS In 48 fetuses with placental insufficiency, umbilical artery blood was obt...
متن کاملLow-Dose Versus High-Dose Tranexamic Acid Reduces the Risk of Nonischemic Seizures After Cardiac Surgery With Cardiopulmonary Bypass.
OBJECTIVE The incidence of postoperative nonischemic seizures associated with the use of tranexamic acid (TXA) and the possibility of prevention with a low-dose regimen of TXA were evaluated. DESIGN Retrospective study. SETTING Tertiary care university hospital. PARTICIPANTS A total of 12,195 patients who underwent cardiac surgical procedures under cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) were evalua...
متن کاملEfficacy of chronic statin therapy on major cardiac events after coronary artery bypass grafting: low-dose versus high-dose
Methods A total of 232 patients with previous CABG and chronic statin therapy were selected retrospectively and were divided into two groups according to a dosage of atorvastatin per day, e. g., 20 mg or 40 mg. Groups were compared for the major cardiac events and freedom from PCI by Kaplan Meier analysis as the primary end point. Patency of grafts including left internal thoracic artery (LITA)...
متن کاملPulsatile cardiopulmonary bypass failed to prevent neuropsychological dysfunction.
To prevent neurological complications during cardiopulmonary bypass, cerebrovascular screenings by magnetic resonance angiography and computed tomographic scan of the brain were performed preoperatively in patients who had ischemic heart disease and all patients aged 60 years or older. From 1996 to 1999, 173 adult patients (mean age 65.1+/-7.7 y) were evaluated. Forty-one patients were consider...
