Reverse alveolar circulation in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease

Hematologic Abnormalities in Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease Patients

Introduction:Patients with cyanotic heart disease may have an acceptable quality of life. However, they are invariably prone to several complications. The aim of this study is search about hematologic abnormalities in cyanotic congenital heart disease patients. Materials and Methods:  In this cross sectional study every cyanotic congenital heart disease patients who was referred to the adult co...

The coronary circulation in cyanotic congenital heart disease.

BACKGROUND Dilated coronary arteries, coronary blood flow, and the paucity of coronary atherosclerosis have not been studied in cyanotic congenital heart disease. METHODS Coronary arteriograms were interpreted in 59 cyanotic adults, and dilated coronaries were examined histologically in 6. Coronary blood flow was determined with N-13 ammonia positron emission tomography in 14 Eisenmenger synd...

Cyanotic congenital heart disease.

The last 15 years have witnessed a very remarkable change in the attitude of the clinician towards cyanotic congenital heart disease. It is within the memory of many that it was the custom to make a simple diagnosis of congenital heart abnormality with cyanosis, and express the opinion that little or nothing could be done about it. Then there appeared the pioneer work of Abbott and others which...

Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease The Coronary Arterial Circulation

BACKGROUND The coronary circulation in cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) includes the extramural coronary arteries, basal coronary blood flow, flow reserve, the coronary microcirculation, and coronary atherogenesis. METHODS Coronary arteriograms were analyzed in 59 adults with CCHD. Dilated extramural coronaries were examined histologically in six patients. Basal coronary blood flow wa...
