Introduction: Post cardiac surgery hemorrhagic syndromes, potentialized by implementing cardiopulmonary bypass, leads to increased hazards of blood products transfusion and pertains serious impacts on immediate patients outcome. The objective of this clinical trial was to investigate the efficiency of exogenous fibrinogen to control hemorrhagic syndromes following cardiac surgery in the intensi...

OBJECTIVES Clinical risk stratification has an important function in preoperative evaluation of patients at risk for cardiac events prior to non-cardiac surgery. The aim of this study was to determine whether the combined measurement of pre-operative N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) and cardiac troponin I (cTnI) could provide useful prognostic information about postoperativ...

Echinococcus is endemic in some parts of the world but cardiac involvement with hydatid cyst is rare. Here, we report a 55-year-old man who developed right ulnar fracture and was scheduled for surgery. During routine preoperative evaluation abnormal findings in ECG were found. In echocardiography, a large mass was detected in the inferior wall of the left ventricle. Coronary angiography showed ...

OBJECTIVE Due to their unique pathophysiological profile, patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) undergoing non-cardiac surgery require additional attention to perioperative management. We sought to compare perioperative outcomes of patients with HCM undergoing non-cardiac surgery with a matched group patients without HCM. METHODS This observational cohort study conducted at a tertia...

background: cardiac rehabilitation is known as a powerful non-pharmacological approach for improving functional capacity, and left ventricular systolic function; however, some limited data have suggested an attenuation of the decline in diastolic function with this program. this study investigated the effect of high intensity aerobic exercise following coronary artery bypass surgery (cabg) on d...

OBJECTIVE To determine the association of non-invasive cardiac stress testing before elective intermediate to high risk non-cardiac surgery with survival and hospital stay. DESIGN Population based retrospective cohort study. SETTING Acute care hospitals in Ontario, Canada, between 1 April 1994 and 31 March 2004. PARTICIPANTS Patients aged 40 years or older who underwent specific elective ...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE Prediction of postoperative excessive blood loss is useful for management of Intensive Care Unit after cardiac surgery. The aim of present study was to examine the effectiveness of International Society on Thrombosis and Hemostasis scoring system in patients with cardiac surgery. METHOD After obtaining approval from the institutional review board, the medical records ...
