Right heart haemodynamics in normal Malaysian subjects.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The right heart pressures and saturations at different sites were measured in 87 normal individuals over a 16-year period during heart cardiac catheterisation. The right heart pressure measurements were comparable with normal values reported in Caucasian subjects. However, the total pulmonary vascular resistance and systemic vascular resistance were significantly different, though the pulmonary vascular resistance wascomparable.

Maximal supine exercise haemodynamics after open heart surgery for Fallot's tetralogy.
Maximal supine exercise studies at the time of heart catheterisation were performed one to five years after open heart surgery for Fallot's tetralogy on 29 subjects 6 to 16 years of age. During exercise right ventricular systolic pressure exceeded 50 mmHg in all but 2 subjects, and end-diastolic pressure increased to over 15 mmHg in 10 subjects. Pulmonary artery peak systolic pressure was abnor...
متن کاملComparison of Fetal Echocardiography for Fetal Cardiac Structure in Women with Gestational Diabetes Mellitus and Normal Pregnancies
BackgroundIncreased metabolic rate of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes causes macrosomia, which can also affect the fetal heart. The thickness of the walls of the heart and its function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can change over time before treatment. We aimed to evaluate fetal cardiac structure in terms of ventricular wall thickness and its function in women w...
متن کاملAtrial natriuretic peptide in primary pulmonary hypertension.
Plasma levels of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) were determined during cardiac catheterization in nine patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) and the effect of prostacyclin infusion via a right heart catheter studied. The role of hypoxia on the release of ANP was investigated in a control group of six normal subjects who underwent an acute hypoxic challenge. Patients showed the ty...
متن کاملElective correction of intracardiac lesions resulting from penetrating wounds of the heart.
Controversy exists regarding the timing and technique of total correction of traumatic intracardiac lesions. Five patients with penetrating wounds of the heart received emergency treatment aimed at securing normal haemodynamics. No attempt was made to identify intracardiac lesions at this stage. Cineangiography two months to seven years later showed aorto-right ventricular fistulae in all patie...
