Many patients undergoing major non-cardiac surgery have a high risk of perioperative cardiovascular complications. Several studies have identified variables that are associated with this increased perioperative cardiovascular risk, 3 including arrhythmias, heart failure, recent myocardial infarction, and ischaemic heart disease. Aortic stenosis (AS) is not always included in cardiac risk predic...

Atrial myxomas are uncommon in the pediatric population but are very important due to pursuant atrioventricular valve obstruction and systemic embolic events. Concerning multiple symptoms ranging from congestive heart failure to neurological deficits, the diagnosis of this disease is complicated. This paper reports a case of left atrium myxoma in a child treated with a surgical excision o...

A 29-year-old woman who underwent the Fontan procedure at 10 years of age had an incidental finding of liver masses on abdominal ultrasonography. Subsequent gadolinium ethoxybenzyl diethylenetriamine pentaacetic acid magnetic resonance imaging showed a 15 mm hypervascular mass with washout in the hepatobiliary phase in liver segment 4 (S4), and an 18 mm hypervascular mass without washout in the...

conclusion: post-procedure hemoglobin dropping may be considered as a predictor of cardiac adverse outcome in patients undergoing pci. we suggest that a good bleeding control during and after the procedure can reduce the risk of cardiac enzyme elevation post-procedurally. results: all categories divided by cardiac enzyme status either in positive or in negative groups were classified in non-ane...

cardiac rupture, particularly rupture of the left ventricular wall, has a very high mortality rate. in this occasion, even if injured patients being alive when carried to the hospital, many of them will die due to following possible reasons: severe bleeding, cardiac tamponade, wasting time for routine and usual diagnostic procedures or transferring the injured to other hospital equipped for car...

ABSTRACT
 Introduction: Cardiac disease and mental health are two related disorders often co-exist together. As one of the interventions to manage patients with cardiac diseases, heart surgical procedure also correlated depression anxiety which will interfere prognosis. This study aimed know incidence in before undergoing open-heart surgery at Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital (RSHS) Band...

BACKGROUND The complexity of ventricular septal defects in early infancy led to development of new mini-invasive techniques based on collaboration of cardiac surgeons with interventional cardiologists, called hybrid procedures. Hybrid therapies aim to combine the advantages of surgical and interventional techniques in an effort to reduce the invasiveness. The aim of this study was to present ou...
