Timing of discharge of pediatric patients post cardiac catheterization [PDF]

Annals of Saudi Medicine
BACKGROUND: Same-day discharge after cardiac catheterization may be safe for some patients. This study aimed to review our experience with same-day discharge after pediatric cardiac catheterization following the implementation of a fast-track protocol ...

Cardiac Catheterization [PDF]

JAMA, 2017
The purpose of cardiac catheterization in patients with congenital heart disease is to gain information about complex anatomy and haemodynamics, especially with respect to pulmonary artery pressure and vascular resistance. This chapter outlines indications for cardiac catheterization, precatheterization care, normal values and calculations, and ...

Integrative transcriptomic, proteomic, and machine learning approach to identifying feature genes of atrial fibrillation using atrial samples from patients with valvular heart disease

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2021
Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common arrhythmia with poorly understood mechanisms. We aimed to investigate the biological mechanism of AF and to discover feature genes by analyzing multi-omics data and by applying a machine learning ...

Metformin improves lipid metabolism and reverses the Warburg effect in a canine model of chronic atrial fibrillation

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background Previous studies demonstrated impaired lipid metabolism and augmented aerobic glycolysis in AF. The authors aimed to investigate whether the use of metformin, an AMPK activator, could reverse this metabolic remodeling in chronic AF and to ...

Metformin regulates lipid metabolism in a canine model of atrial fibrillation through AMPK/PPAR-α/VLCAD pathway

Lipids in Health and Disease, 2019
Background Atrial lipid metabolic remodeling is critical for the process of atrial fibrillation (AF). Abnormal Fatty acid (FA) metabolism in cardiomyocytes is involved in the pathogenesis of AF.

Local DRLs and automated risk estimation in paediatric interventional cardiology [PDF]

, 2019
Introduction : Cardiac catheterization procedures result in high radiation doses and often multiple procedures are necessary for congenital heart disease patients. However, diagnostic reference levels (DRL) remain scarce.

Coronary artery anomalies and their clinical relevance

Monaldi Archives for Chest Disease, 2015
Coronary artery anomalies (CAAs) represent one of the most confusing topic in cardiology and affect approximately 1% of the general population. Altough some anomalies seem to be only anatomical curiosities, others may sometimes have fatal consequences ...
