Nine cases of anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary trunk, involving patients ranging in age from 2 months to 7 years, have been reviewed. In six patients, mitral ...

A method for determining left ventricular mass by the use of biplane angiocardiography is described. This method was tested on 23 postmortem human hearts with left ventricular weights of 121 to 453 Gm ...

The renal artery and iliac artery pulses were recorded indirectly during split renal function studies in hypertensive patients suspected of having renal vascular lesions. A phonocatheter was easily ...

The current pooled analysis confirmed the excess risk carried by diabetic patients undergoing a coronary intervention procedure. Indeed, the incidences of death, myocardial infarction, and ...

In 1951, Gorlin and Gorlin proposed the “hydraulic orifice equation” for calculation of valve area in valvular stenosis. 8 The Gorlin formula was based on the fundamental equation: equation in which ...

Postoperative cardiac catheterizations were performed in eight patients within the first year following replacement of the tricuspid, mitral, and aortic valves with Starr-Edwards ball-valve prostheses ...

Although mechanistic pathways have been discovered, it is unknown how these and as of yet unknown mediators of preeclampsia can impact fetal heart development and their long-term consequences in the ...

Figure 1. Number of patients with advanced heart failure (HF) (author estimates). One of the most important questions in the field of mechanical ciculatory support is how many patients would benefit ...
