[ 1 ] - Early post operative mortality of Total Correction of Tetralogy of Fallot

Introduction: Since 1954, after the first surgical repair of tetralogy of Fallot (TOF), several innovations have occurred in cardiac surgery, especially in children. One stage complete repair of TOF is currently possible even in infancy; however, complications such as hypoxemia, arrhythmia, cardiac dysfunction, sudden death, and valvular disorders may happen. In this study, we evaluated the res...

[ 2 ] - Coronary Artery Spasm During Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography: A Case Report

Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has been widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic modality in the management of stress. DSE is associated with limited complications and adverse effects on the health of patients. In this case report, we described a 42-year-old female patient with dobutamine-induced coronary artery spasm with history of exertional dyspnea, which had deteriorated recent...

[ 3 ] - The Improvement of the Atrial Flutter Rhythm upon the Removal of the Infected Permanent Pacemaker Lead

Pacemaker infection has multiple risk factors. Its presentation is most often similar to infected endocarditis and the diagnosis is made through studying blood cultures. Transesophageal echocardiography can confirm the diagnosis. The most common microorganisms are staphylococcus speciesis. As a matter of fact, complete pacemaker removal appears to be the only definite treatment. We presented a ...

[ 4 ] - Role of Transthoracic Echocardiography in the Evaluation of Patients with Retinal Vein Occlusion

   Introduction: Retinal vein occlusion  is a common vascular disorder disrupting vision. Two basic types of RVO are branch retinal vein occlusion and central retinal vein occlusion (CRVO).  Retinal vein occlusion is a multifactor process including systemic illness and local retinal factors.RVO may be associated with atherosclerotic risk factors. We analyzed the role of 2 dimensional transthor...

[ 5 ] - Acute Myocardial Infarction in a 17-Year-Old Boy Secondary to Lightning Strike

Although lightning is an uncommon phenomenon in nature; it can cause many destructive incidents. In the event of a lightning strike, multiple organs particularly the cardiovascular systems are at risk of injury. Short-term mortality depends on its cardiac effects. In this paper, the authors report the development of myocardial infarction and pericardial effusion after lightning injury, a typica...

[ 6 ] - بررسی ارتباط E/E′ ratio با فشار پایان دیاستولی بطن چپ به روش اندازه‌گیری تهاجمی

مقدمه تعیین فشار انتهای دیاستولی بطن چپ[1] که با روش تهاجمی کاتتریزاسیون اندازه گیری می‎شود، اقدامی اساسی برای پیش بینی پروگنوز و درمان در بیماران نارسایی قلبی است. هدف این مطالعه تعیین میزان دقت ′E/E اکوکاردیوگرافیک در پیش بینی غیرتهاجمی LVEPD در بیماران با EF متفاوت می‎باشد. روش کار در این مطالعه در 60 بیمار فشار انتهای دیاستولی بطن چپ(LVEDP) در کاتتریزاسیون قلب اندازه‌گیری شد. همچنین میان...
