Hematologic Abnormalities in Cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease Patients
Authors
Abstract:
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 congenital heart disease clinic was selected and asked of any possible hyperviscosity symptoms, gingival bleeding, Epistaxis, hemoptysis, hypermenorrhagia and gouty arthritis irrespective of their age, gender and primary diagnosis in a six-month period. In this regard, 02 saturation was obtained via pulse oximetry, an abdominal ultrasound was done in order to discover any gallstones and lab tests including CBC, coagulation parameters (bleeding time(BT),clotting time(CT), prothrombin time(PT),international ratio( INR), Ferritin, blood urea nitrogen (BUN) and creatinine (Cr) were provided as well. Results: A total of 69 patients were enrolled in the present study. The mean age of the patients was 22.44±5.72 with a minimum of 15 and the maximum of 46 years old. Twenty two (34.4%) of them were female and 45(65.6%) were male. Conclusion: Our patients had less hyperuricemia, there is no correlation between hyperviscosity symptoms and haematocrit level and an inverse correlation between the Ferritin level and hyperviscosity symptoms were seen.

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...

The surgical treatment of cyanotic heart disease in the adult poses some technical difficulties in correcting severe anatomical deformities and compromised physiological states over a wide range of conditions. Various abnormalities and their surgical management have been reviewed. Forty-six patients over the age of 18 years have been operated with 10 operative deaths. Of the survivors, 63% have...
