REVIEW: Management of Ventricular Tachycardia in Patients with Structural Heart Disease

Patients with structural heart disease and ventricular tachycardia (VT) can be difficult to manage clinically. Many treatment options are available, but no single approach can be applied to every patient. This review aims to discuss the current options available for the management of this population. VT can be associated with cardiomyopathy of any etiology, both [...]

Surgical Strategies for Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation

Functional or secondary tricuspid regurgitation commonly is found in the setting of left-sided heart disease and, when severe, is associated with substantially poorer functional outcomes and survival if untreated. The traditional view that functional tricuspid regurgitation generally resolves with surgical correction of the primary lesions is no longer held. Data showing late development of severe [...]

The Pathogenesis of Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation

Functional tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is a common etiology of TR. Functional TR results from geometrical distortion of the normal spatial relationships of the tricuspid leaflets, annulus, chords, papillary muscles, and right ventricular (RV) walls. Functional TR results most commonly from left-sided heart disease, including mitral valve abnormalities and cardiomyopathy and RV dysfunction secondary to pulmonary [...]

Functional Tricuspid Regurgitation: Introduction

Functional or secondary tricuspid regurgitation typically refers to tricuspid regurgitation occurring secondary to left-sided heart disease, or pulmonary hypertensive disease, in the absence of organic lesions of the tricuspid valve. Until recently, “surgical abstention” has been the norm in dealing with functional tricuspid regurgitation, with the assumption that tricuspid regurgitation should resolve once the primary [...]

A new study suggests yet another reason for Americans to abandon their current fatty diets in favor of one rich in fruits and vegetables and low in saturated fat. Choosing these healthier options appears to significantly reduce the long-term risk of heart disease in patients with mildly elevated blood pressure, particularly African Americans.

Pulmonary complications in pediatric cardiac surgery at a university hospital

CONCLUSION: Most of the sample was female, school aged and from the countryside. The low time of cardiopulmonary bypass and mechanical ventilation, and congenital heart disease with low risk, may have been factors that contributed to the low rate of pulmonary complications postoperative.
