This paper summarizes the concept and significance of early activity after cardiac intervention, the best time and mode of different types of early activity after cardiac intervention, and the factors affecting early activity, aiming to provide a basis for clinical medical staff to provide safe and effective guidance of early activity after cardiac intervention.展开更多

Collaboration and planning between cardiologist and anaesthesiologist are required for both patient safety and procedural success. This review aims to discuss procedures performed in interventional cardiology and the importance of anaesthesiologists in managing such patients. Percutaneous interventions are being increasingly performed in adult as well as in pediatric patients. Procedures are usually done under mild to moderate sedation. General anaesthesia is required in certain conditions and also in pediatric patients. Knowledge of echocardiography, individual disease condition and fluoroscopy is important. Anaesthesiologists are assuming an increasingly important role in the multidisciplinary management of complex patients and interventions. A comprehensive understanding of procedures is essential to provide a high level of anaesthetic care and maintain patient safety.展开更多

With the development of ultrasonography and intrauterine cardiac intervention technique, fetal cardiac intervention （FC1） for critical aortic stenosis, highly restrictive or intact atrial septum, pulmonary atresia with an intact ventricular septum （PA/ IVS）, and critical pulmonary stenosis （CPS） are available in more countries.展开更多

This study assessed the clinical profile and outcomes of a large cohort of patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for OHCA to determine its effect on clinical outcomes and mortality. Methods: 247,456 patients with OHCA due to acute coronary syndrome (ACS) were abstracted from the Nationwide Inpatient Sample database (2001-2011). Results: Among 247,456 OHCA patients, 11,111 (4.5%) had PCI while 236,345 (95.5%) did not. Patients who underwent PCI were younger than those who did not receive PCI (64 vs. 66 years), p p p p 65 years, female gender, AA or Hispanic race, advanced cancer, and liver dysfunction as independent factors associated with increased mortality, while PCI conferred a survival advantage in OHCA, p Conclusion: Treatment with PCI was associated with a significant decrease in mortality. PCI was performed most often in Caucasians, males, patients > 50 years old, and those with Medicare. PCI significantly reduces mortality in OHCA patients and should be considered in all OHCA patients. Further investigation and development of methods to overcome the apparent socioeconomic barriers to PCI is required.展开更多

The differential diagnosis may need surgical intervention in most cases. Case summary: A 42-year female presented with complaints of dyspnea, palpitations, ventricular premature beats, attacks of non-sustained ventricular tachycardia. Echocardiography revealed a myocardial septal mass on both sides in the right and left ventricles. The decision to operate was taken and the masses were removed. It was proved by histopathologic examination to be metastatic from her skin melanoma. Clinically, arrhythmias subsided. Conclusion: The decision of surgery proved unavoidable. Early diagnosis by surgical intervention is important for effective treatment.展开更多
