Improved cardiac function after renal transplantation.
There are few reports of the outcome of renal transplantation in patients with severe left ventricular (LV) impairment. We describe three men with chronic disabling heart failure associated with LV dysfunction in whom a remarkable improvement in cardiac function followed renal transplantation. Transplantation may offer the prospect of successful rehabilitation in these circumstances. Undue pess...
متن کاملDiastolic function after cardiac and heart-lung transplantation.
The mechanical efficiency of left ventricular contraction and relaxation, the asynchrony of the onset of left ventricular relaxation, the time constant of left ventricular isovolumic pressure decay, and left ventricular chamber and myocardial stiffness were analysed in 32 patients after cardiac (24) and heart-lung transplantation (8). After cardiac transplantation left ventricular myocardial st...
متن کاملMediastinitis after cardiac transplantation.
OBJECTIVE Assessment of incidence and behavior of mediastinitis after cardiac transplantation. METHODS From 1985 to 1999, 214 cardiac transplantations were performed, 12 (5.6%) of the transplanted patients developed confirmed mediastinitis. Patient's ages ranged from 42 to 66 years (mean of 52.3 +/- 10.0 years) and 10 (83.3%) patients were males. Seven (58.3%) patients showed sternal stabilit...
متن کاملLate complications after cardiac transplantation.
Advances in postoperative medical care have contributed significantly to the improved quality of life and long-term survival of cardiac transplant recipients, which is now 72% at 5 years. The major cause of late morbidity and mortality is transplant associated coronary artery disease' and this has recently been reviewed.2 However, the diagnosis and treatment of opportunistic infection and lymph...
متن کاملPermanent pacing after cardiac transplantation.
OBJECTIVE To determine the need for long-term pacing and optimum mode of pacing in cardiac transplant recipients. DESIGN (a) A retrospective review of patient records. (b) A prospective study of pacemaker use by 24 hour ambulatory electrocardiography before and after reprogramming to minimise use of pacemakers. SETTING Outpatient clinic, supra-regional cardiopulmonary transplant unit. PAT...
