1. In order to investigate the changes of reduced urinary free dopamine excretion (uDA) in heart failure, 15 patients with symptomatic mitral stenosis were investigated on their uDA, endogenous creatinine (Cr) clearance, urinary excretion of sodium (UNaV), fractional excretion of sodium (FENa),
A 30-year-old woman with mitral stenosis after mitral valve replacement was scheduled for cesarean section at 28 weeks and 6 days of pregnancy. Cesarian section was decided at a conference of obstetrics, cardiac surgery, neonatology and anesthesiology. Anesthesia was successfully managed with
A 42-year-old man with dilated cardiomyopathy and rheumatic mitral stenosis underwent mitral valve replacement. Prior intravascular fluid administration and infusion of dopamine and dobutamine stabilized hemodynamics during the induction of anesthesia. High-dose fentanyl at pre-cardiopulmonary
Ochronosis is a rare disease. Usually symptoms appear in the third, fourth, or later decade of life. The most common symptom is arthropathy, but cardiovascular system can be involved in this disease. A 71-year-old man with ochronosis was scheduled for total hip arthroplasty. Preoperatively,
We report a patient with controlled atrial fibrillation-flutter (AFF) and mitral stenosis who developed a marked increase in atrioventricular conduction during an infusion of low dose dopamine with development of hemodynamic compromise. This side effect has not been previously described in humans.
BACKGROUND
Pulmonary hypertension is a rare condition and in combination with pregnancy, it can result in high maternal mortality. Mitral stenosis is one of the complicated cardiac diseases that may occur during pregnancy. In this report, we describe our management of such a case, which was even
To avoid damage of myocardial ischemia, myocardial hypoxia and reperfusion injury, we designed mitral valve replacement in beating heart under extracorporeal circulation with low dose temperature of 31 degrees C to 35 degrees C in 137 cases of rheumatic heart disease, congenital heart disease mitral
Pathological lesions of left ventricular myocardium from 21 patients with predominant mitral stenosis (MS) and from 16 patients with predominant mitral regurgitation (MI) were studied quantitatively by means of image analysis system and light microscopic examination. Their correlations with changes
We report a rare case of ergotamine-associated mitral stenosis in a 55-year-old woman who presented with recurrent chylous pleural effusion. Echocardiographic, gross, and microscopic features of the mitral valve were consistent with chronic ergotamine-induced valvulopathy. We conclude that
A 57-year-old man with mitral stenosis underwent mitral valve plasty under general anesthesia. He had a history of cerebral infarction. Although he was with atrial fibrillation, his left ventricular function was good. Preoperative coronary angiography revealed no significant coronary stenosis.
OBJECTIVE
Pulmonary hypertension may be encountered in the intensive care unit in patients with critical illnesses such as acute respiratory distress syndrome, left ventricular dysfunction, and pulmonary embolism, as well as after cardiothoracic surgery. Pulmonary hypertension also may be
