RESUMEN

Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome is a relatively common electrical disorder showing paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia. However, the familial form of WPW syndrome is rare, and is usually inherited as a Mendelian autosomal dominant trait. Here, we describe a family where a father and son both showed WPW syndrome. Their conditions were treated with radiofrequency ablation.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: This study was designed to evaluate the appropriate dose and dose-dependent effect of benidipine hydrochloride, a Ca+ +/- channel blocker, in patients with mild-moderate essential hypertension. Material and MethodsBenidipine was administered in 2 mg, 4 mg and 8 mg once daily with 1 month interval in 41 hypertensive patients with diastolic blood pressure over 90 mmHg and systolic blood pressure from 140 to 210 mmHg. Blood pressure, heart rate, subjective symptoms and adverse effects were checked every 4 weeks after benidipine administration. Laboratory examinations were performed before and after benidipine administration. RESULTS: The dose-dependent, antihypertensive effect of benidipine was evaluated in 41 patients. The blood pressure significantly reduced from 166+/-15 mmHg/103+/-7 mmHg to 13815 mmHg/88+/-11 mmHg at 12 weeks administration of benidipine and overall effective rate was 95%. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure was reduced significantly in proportion to dose of benidipine (p<0.0001). Antihypertensive effect was prominent at 4mg of benidipine. The heart rate was not affected by benidipine. No significant laboratory changes were observed. CONCLUSION: Benidipine has a dose-dependent effect in the treatment of mild-moderate hypertension, and the dosage to be needed may be 4mg or more for sufficient antihypertensive effect.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND: The prophylactic use of temporary pacemaker during coronary intervention has been markedly decreased since 1980's. There is, however, few systematic report focusing on right coronary intervention in which temporary pacemaker would be most beneficial. Moreover, there has been marked development in coronary intervention recent years that risk and benefit of prophylactic pacemaker should be reconsidered. METHOD: We performed right coronary artery intervention without prophylactic use of temporary pacemaker in 100 successive patients in Samsung Medical Center. Patients with previous AV block and rotational atherectomy cases were excluded. The incidence of all complications and changes of blood pressure as well as heart rate during coronary intervention were examined prospectively. RESULTS: The lesion type was B2 or C in 52% and intracoronary thrombus was found in 18% of patients. Nevertheless, there was neither life threatening bradycardia nor new onset arrhythmia in any patient during right coronary intervention. CONCLUSION: These data suggest that omission of prophylactic use of temporary pacemaker may be safe in right coronary intervention only if excluding previous patients with high degree atrioventricular block and rotational atherectomy cases. This approach may reduce procedure time and cost as well as pacemaker-associated complications.

RESUMEN

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Small myocardial infarction (MI) has been reported in 8 - 20% of patients undergoing percutaneous transluminal coronary angioplasty (PTCA). But neither appropriate threshold of cardiac enzyme nor useful biochemical marker for its detection has not yet been fully defined. We examined the cardiac enzyme to define more valuable biochemical marker for the detection of small MI after PTCA and to evaluate factors associated with small MI after PTCA. MATERIALS AND METHODS: This study population consisted of 209 consecutive patients who underwent PTCA. Cardiac enzyme levels were measured before and 8, 24 hours after PTCA for CK-MB, and before and 16 hours after PTCA for troponin T. We defined small MI when CK-MB levels were over 16U/L and/or troponin T levels were over 0.2 ng/ml. RESULTS: Incidence of small MI after PTCA was 28/209 (13.4%) and the most of those were non-Q MI (24/28, 86%). In the detection of small MI after PTCA, the sensitivity of troponin T was higher than CK-MB (92.9% vs 39.3%). Major complications (major dissection, acute coronary occlusion, and side branch occlusion) developed significantly more in patients with small MI than in patients without small MI (p=0.002). Three independent variables, which were significantly associated with small MI after PTCA, were age, total/subtotal occlusion, and acute coronary occlusion as complication (p=0.01, p=0.02, and p=0.04, respectively). CONCLUSIONS: Troponin T is more sensitive biochemical marker than CK-MB in the detection of small MI after PTCA. Major complications of angioplasty are frequently associated with small MI. Especially, age, total occlusion, and acute coronary occlusion as complication are independent factors significantly associated with small MI after PTCA.

RESUMEN

From May, 1975 to August, 1986, we experienced 21 patients with ruptured aneurysm of the sinus of Valsalva. 1) Their ages ranged from 15 to 52 years with a mean age of 26.7 years, and 14 patients were male and 7 patients were female. Among 18 cases of which aneurysms occurred on the right sinus of Valsalva, 15 cases (83%) ruptured into the right ventricle, 1 case (6%) ruptured into the right atrium and 2 cases (11%) ruptured into the pulmonary artery. All 3 cases of which aneurysms occurred on the noncoronary sinus ruptured into the right atrium. 2) Clinical symptoms consisted of dyspnea (95%), palpitation (81%), chest pain (43%), orthopnea (33%), cough (14%), hemoptysis (5%), oliguria (5%), and fever (5%). In all patients continuous heart murmur was audible. Hepatomegaly (48%), pulmonary basal rale (14%), and pretibial pitting edema (19%) were also observed. 3) In all patients diagnosis was made with cardiac catheterization and angiography, and confirmed by operation excetpt one case. 4) Among 20 patients who had been performed corrective surgery, ventricular septal defect was observed in 16 patients (85%), aortic insufficiency in 5 patients (25%), pulmonary infundibular stenosis in 1 patient (5%), patent foramen ovale in 1 patient (5%), and tricuspid insufficiency in 1 patient (5%). Ventricular septal defect was observed in all 16 patients whose aneurysms of the right coronary sinus of Valsalva ruptured into the right ventricle and the pulmonary artery. 5) All patients survived operation, and no postoperative complication was found except 1 patient to whom reoperation was performed because of postoperative aortic insufficiency and detachment of the patch closure for ventricular septal defect. There was symptomatic improvement in all patients.

RESUMEN

Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty (PBV) was done in 7 adults of pulmonary valvular stenosis, which was diagnosed with catheterization and cine-angiography of rigtht heart, in Seoul National University Hospital from Jan. 1986 to Dec. 1986. The results were as follows : 1) Among the seven cases six were male and the range of age was from 19 to 40 years. Atrial septal defects associated in 2 cases were not significant clinically. 2) The peak systolic gradient from right ventricle to pulmonary artery before the procedure was below 50 mmhg in 1 cases, 50 to 100 mmHg in 1 case, and above 100 mmHg in 5 cases. 3) Before PBV the mean systolic pressure of right ventricle was 121+/-42 mmHg and the peak systolic gradient was 106+/-41 mmHg. After PBV those were 58+/-30 mmHg and 40+/-31 mmHg, revealing significant improvement. 4) Balloon catheter (Medi-tech, 9F) was used in all cases. single balloon of 20 mm outer diameter was applied in 2 cases and double balloons of various sizes were applied in 5 cases in which single balloon showed inadequate dilatation. It is suggested that percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty is safe and effective alternative to surgical valvotomy of pulmonary valvular stenosis in adults.
