Methods: LAA occlusion was performed in 20 atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with non-valvular lesions, including nine males and 11 females. TEE was used for the preoperative measurement of the maximal LAA orifice diameter and LAA depth and the guidance of atrial septum puncture. The release of the occluder during the occlusion procedure was also performed under TEE monitoring. Results: All 20 patients underwent successful occlusion of the LAA under the guidance of TEE. There were two (10.0%) cases with mild residual shunt after occlusion, among which only one (5.0%) patient still retained slight residual shunt at one month postoperative. All the other (95.0%) patients revealed no residual shunt. There was no difference between the maximal LAA orifice diameter (22.75 ± 4.85 mm vs. 22.15 ± 4.23) and LAA depth (36.60 ± 5.51 vs. 35.00 ± 4.76) derived from TEE and the digital subtraction angiography (DSA) measurement. Both the max orifice diameter and LAA depth measured by TEE were strongly correlated with that measured by DSA, with r = 0.75, P < 0.001 and r = 0.82, P < 0.001, respectively. Conclusions: TEE can accurately estimate the maximal LAA orifice diameter and LAA depth and provide an important reference for preoperative occluder size selection. It can also be used for intraoperative guidance and assessing results during the operation. TEE is of great importance for LAA occlusion.","PeriodicalId":269499,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease","volume":"25 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114280845","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of the study is to assess, identify and resolve drug related problems in patients with Cardiovascular Diseases. A total of 150 cardiac patients were enrolled into the study. In our study, out of 150 we got 71 DRPs like Drug-Drug interactions 33(46.4%), ADRs 14(20%), indication without Drug 6(8.4%), drug use without indication 8(11.2%), sub therapeutic dose 10(14%). The association between risk factors like alcohol abuse, smoking, diabetes, hypertension increased risk of CVD. The P value was statistically significant in males than in females. In this study, for individuals with drug related problems of cardiovascular diseases, males were found to be more when compared with females due to risk factors such as smoking, alcoholism, life style etc. the drug related problems were high in patients aged between 40-60 years because of their multiple co-morbid conditions. Polypharmacy was the main predisposing factor for drug related problems.","PeriodicalId":269499,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2020-06-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127683020","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates whether a quantitative measure of the compression type of coronary artery motion obtained from analysis of coronary angiograms can predict the location of culprit lesions in patients who have subsequent myocardial infarction. Method: 28 patients were identified with coronary angiography performed on at least two occasions: related to primary or rescue percutaneous coronary intervention for a STEMI and coronary angiography before this that was available for review. These angiograms were used to determine a quantitative index of coronary artery motion (QCAM) (the ratio of the section lengths i.e. systolic length/diastolic length). The culprit section was subsequently identified and QCAM of this section was compared to non-culprit sections. Results: The two sample t-test comparing QCAM for the non-culprit and culprit sections was highly statistically significant with a p-value of 0.0004. The generalized linear mixed model with culprit section as the dependent variable and QCAM as the independent variable also showed a statistically significant result with a p-value of 0.026. Conclusion: QCAM is a predictor of the location of culprit lesions causing future ST segment elevation myocardial infarctions. Predicting the location of future culprit lesions using coronary angiography may allow targeted therapy to prevent myocardial infarctions.","PeriodicalId":269499,"journal":{"name":"International Journal of Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease","volume":"1581 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127448039","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
