Short-term results of interventional therapy for infants (7–36 months old) with patent ductus arteriosus and moderate-to-severe pulmonary hypertension: a retrospective study

Journal of Cardiothoracic Surgery, 2020
Background Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common congenital heart disease. Interventional therapy is an important treatment for PDA. Nevertheless, few studies have investigated the safety and effectiveness of interventional therapy for infants (age,

The legacy of voluntarism: Charitable funding in the early NHS

The Economic History Review, Volume 77, Issue 2, Page 554-583, May 2024.
Abstract Before 1948, approximately one‐third of the United Kingdom (UK)’s hospital beds were located in voluntary hospitals, many of which continued to benefit from the funds generated by their historic endowments. When the National Health Service (NHS) was created, the vast majority of these hospitals were taken over by the State. This paper examines

Decision tree model for predicting in‐hospital cardiac arrest among patients admitted with acute coronary syndrome

Clinical Cardiology, Volume 42, Issue 11, Page 1087-1093, November 2019., 2019
Abstract Background In‐hospital cardiac arrest (IHCA) may be preventable, with patients often showing signs of physiological deterioration before an event. Our objective was to develop and validate a simple clinical prediction model to identify the IHCA risk among cardiac arrest (CA) patients hospitalized with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).

Pressure overload is associated with right ventricular dyssynchrony in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 11, Issue 2, Page 1097-1109, April 2024.
Abstract Aims The determinants and relevance of right ventricular (RV) mechanical dyssynchrony in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) are poorly understood. We hypothesized that increased afterload may adversely affect the synchrony of RV contraction.

Pulmonary Venous Index as Additional Diagnostic Criteria for Fontan Palliation

Journal of Cardiac Surgery, Volume 2024, Issue 1, 2024.
Backgroud. The results of the Fontan operation, depending on the anatomy of the pulmonary arteries, have been studied quite well. Various indices have been proposed to assess the degree of hypoplasia of the pulmonary arterial bed (Nakata, Reddy, and McGoon indexes).

Clinical Study to Individual Treatment for Major Aortopulmonary Collaterals of Tetralogy of Fallot

BioMed Research International, Volume 2019, Issue 1, 2019., 2019
Objectives. To build a guideline for the individual treatment of Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) with major aortopulmonary collaterals (MAPCAs) and tentatively establish the occlusion index of MAPCAs. Methods. According to the diameter of the aortopulmonary collaterals (R: mm) and the bodyweight of the children (weight: kg), K= ((∑R2)/Wt) was set as the ...
