Aim:The purpose of this study was to determine the importance of right ventricular isovolumic relaxation time (RV IVRT) measured by tissue Doppler imaging of tricuspid annular motion in the risk stratification in patients with chronic heart failure. Methods:In all, 108 patients with symptomatic heart failure and mean ejection fraction of 24% underwent standard echocardiographic examination, Doppler tissue imaging of tricuspid annular motion, and right-heart catheterization. The patients were followed up for a mean period of 18 months for cardiac-related death and non-fatal cardiac events including the implantation of a cardioverter/defibrillator...

Introduction and methods:Early rehabilitation of patients undergoing cardiac surgery follows directly upon their stay at a cardiac surgery department. After baseline assessment by a cardiologist, patients are admitted to the Early Rehabilitation Center (an analogy to the intensive care unit) where they stay for 1-7 days depending on their health condition and complications, and where rehabilitation is already started. At the beginning of their stay (about post-operative day 10) and prior to discharge from rehabilitation, patients are assessed using spirometry and echocardiography as well as exercisetesting. These examinations provide...

Chronic sequels of acute pulmonary embolism

Our analysis suggests several facts. We have a poor understanding of the chronic sequels of acute pulmonary embolism. The long-term prognosis of patients after acute pulmonary embolism is often affected by concomitant diseases, particu-larly by the presence of malignancies but, also, by co-existing cardiac deseases. Another factor affecting the long-term prognosis is the age of patients. The few prospective studies of patients after acute pulmonary embolism have furnished the following facts: 4-6% of patients develop chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, especially those patients whose pulmonary artery systolic pressure at the time of...

Treatment of multiple post-infarction monomorphic sustained ventricular tachycardia by catheter ablation without ICD implantation-when is it possible?

Jindřich Palčík, Martin Fiala, Jan Chovančík, Marian Branny

Cor Vasa 2006, 48(9):321-324 | DOI: 10.33678/cor.2006.104  

This case report presents a patient with previous myocardial infarction, in whom a complex arrhythmogenic substrate in the left ventricle associated with multiple tachycardia morphologies was treated by catheter ablation without ICD implantation. Clinical and electrophysiological factors leading to the decision to leave the patient without an ICD are discussed.
