Electrocardiographic signs of chronic cor pulmonale: A negative prognostic finding in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. (1/114)

BACKGROUND: Chronic cor pulmonale (CCP) is a strong predictor of death in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). The aims of this study were to assess the prognostic role of individual ECG signs of CCP and of the interaction between these signs and abnormal arterial blood gases. METHODS AND RESULTS: Two hundred sixty-three patients (217 men) with COPD, mean age 67+/-9 years, were grouped according to whether they had no ECG signs (group 1, n=100) or >/=1 ECG signs (group 2, n=163) of CCP and were followed up for 13 years after an exacerbation of respiratory failure. The median survival was significantly shorter in group 2 than in group 1 (2.58 versus 3. 45 years, respectively; Mantel-Cox test, 9.58; P=0.002). The Cox regression analysis identified S1S2S3 pattern, right atrial overload (RAO), and alveolar-arterial oxygen gradient (PAO2-PaO2) >48 mm Hg during oxygen therapy as the strongest predictors of death, with hazard rate (HR)=1.81 (95% CI, 1.22 to 2.69), HR=1.58 (95% CI, 1.15 to 2.18), and HR=1.96 (95% CI, 1.19 to 3.25), respectively. The median survivals of patients having both S1S2S3 pattern and RAO (n=14) and of patients having either S1S2S3 pattern or RAO (n=77) were 1.33 and 2.70 years, respectively (P=0.022). Group 2 patients had a 3-year survival of 18% or 53%, depending on whether their PAO2-PaO2 during oxygen therapy was or was not >48 mm Hg. CONCLUSIONS: Some ECG signs of CCP and PAO2-PaO2 >48 mm Hg during oxygen therapy qualified as a simple and inexpensive tool for targeting subsets of COPD patients with severe or very severe short-term prognosis.  (+info)

Endogenous nitric oxide in patients with stable COPD: correlates with severity of disease. (2/114)

BACKGROUND: Increased levels of exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) have been reported in asthmatic subjects but little information is available on eNO in patients with advanced chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). A study was undertaken to evaluate the levels of eNO in patients with stable COPD of different degrees of severity. METHODS: Peak and plateau values of eNO (PNO and PLNO, respectively) were evaluated in 53 patients with COPD and analysed according to the level of forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1) and the presence of cor pulmonale (CP) (group 1, FEV1 < 35% predicted with CP, n = 15; group 2, FEV1 < 35% predicted without CP, n = 15; group 3, FEV1 > 35% predicted, n = 23). Seventeen normal subjects served as controls. RESULTS: All the patients with COPD had reduced levels of PLNO compared with the controls (mean (SD) 6.3 (3.0) and 9.4 (2.8) ppb, respectively). In groups 1 and 2 PLNO levels were significantly lower than in subjects in group 3 (5.5 (2.9), 5.7 (3.5), and 7.1 (2.7) ppb, respectively; p < 0.01 ANOVA). In all subjects % predicted FEV1 correlated slightly with PLNO but not with PNO. CONCLUSION: Patients with severe stable COPD have reduced levels of eNO compared with normal subjects. eNO levels are slightly related to the severity of airflow obstruction.  (+info)

Elevated plasma brain natriuretic peptide levels in chronic respiratory failure with cor pulmonale. (3/114)

Elevated plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) levels have been described in patients with congestive heart failure and acute myocardial infarction. We measured plasma BNP levels in patients with chronic respiratory failure to evaluate the correlation between plasma BNP levels and pulmonary haemodynamics. Plasma BNP levels were measured in 28 patients with chronic respiratory failure accompanied by three underlying diseases [14 with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), seven with sequelae of pulmonary tuberculosis (sequelae Tbc) and seven with diffuse panbronchiolitis (DPB)] by immunoradiometric assay methods (IRMA). Twenty-one of 28 patients had already received oxygen supplementation and 16 of 21 patients were treated as outpatients with home oxygen therapy. Plasma BNP levels were significantly elevated in patients with chronic respiratory failure complicated by cor pulmonale (81.5 +/- 13.1 pg ml-1) compared to patients without cor pulmonale (13.3 +/- 2.7 pg ml-1, P < 0.001). As controls, plasma BNP levels in 10 patients with primary lung cancer were studied, and the results (3.5 +/- 1.0 pg ml-1) were not significantly different from those of patients with chronic respiratory failure without cor pulmonale. Plasma BNP levels in 12 healthy subjects were also studied, and the results (7.2 +/- 1.0 pg ml-1) were not significantly different from those of the control subjects. Plasma BNP levels showed a weak linear correlation with systolic pulmonary arterial blood pressure, estimated by Doppler echocardiography (r = 0.43; P = 0.068), but there was no significant correlation between BNP levels and the degree of hypoxaemia (r = 0.30; P = 0.138). Plasma atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) levels in patients with chronic respiratory failure were also measured using the same samples. Plasma ANP levels were also significantly elevated in patients with chronic respiratory failure complicated by cor pulmonale (80.8 +/- 12.1 pg ml-1) compared to patients without cor pulmonale (26.1 +/- 4.4 pg ml-1, P = 0.003). A significant correlation was found between plasma BNP and ANP levels (r = 0.68; P < 0.001). Our results suggest that the plasma BNP or ANP level may be a useful indicator for detecting the presence of cor pulmonale in patients with chronic respiratory failure.  (+info)

Halo femoral traction and sliding rods in the treatment of a neurologically compromised congenital scoliosis: technique. (4/114)

In severe congenital scoliosis, traction (whether with a halo or instrumental) is known to expose patients to neurologic complications. However, patients with restrictive lung disease may benefit from halo traction during the course of the surgical treatment. The goal of treatment of such deformities is, therefore, twofold: improvement of the respiratory function and avoidance of any neurologic complications. We report our technique to treat a 17-year-old girl with a multi-operated congenital scoliosis of 145 degrees and cor pulmonale. Pre-operative halo gravity traction improved her vital capacity from 560 c.c. to 700 c.c., but led to mild neurologic symptoms (clonus in the legs). To avoid further neurologic compromise, her first surgery consisted of posterior osteotomies and the implantation of two sliding rods connected to loose dominoes without any attempt at correction. Correction was then achieved over a 3-week period with a halofemoral traction. This allowed the two rods to slide while the neurologic status of the patient was monitored. Her definitive surgery consisted of locking the dominoes and the application of a contralateral rod. Satisfactory outcome was achieved for both correction of the deformity (without neurologic sequels) and improvement of her pulmonary function (1200 c.c. at 2 years). This technique using sliding rods in combination with halofemoral traction can be useful in high-risk, very severe congenital scoliosis.  (+info)

Free internal mammary artery for coronary bypass. (5/114)

An improved technique of free internal mammary artery (IMA) to ascending aorta anastomosis for coronary bypass is described. A small patch vein with a suitable side branch or branches is interposed, connecting the proximal end of a detached IMA to the ascending aorta. A single or double free IMA alone or in combination with an additional saphenous vein graft was performed in 77 patients. A total of 125 free IMA grafts were done. The hospital mortality was 2-7% and late mortality 1-4%. Seventy-one of the 74 surviving patients had no angina and returned to a normal life. Postoperative coronary arteriography in 65 patients showed a patency rate of 96%. On year's experience with this technique is very encouraging. However, prolonged follow-up is necessary to determine if free IMA, as used by us, will increase the long-term patency rate.  (+info)

A pathological study of in situ thrombosis of small pulmonary arteries and arterioles in autopsy cases of chronic cor pulmonale. (6/114)

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the incidence of in situ thrombosis of small pulmonary arteries and arterioles during the exacerbation stage of chronic cor pulmonale. METHODS: 49 autopsy cases died from the exacerbation of chronic cor pulmonale were chosen as the study group, while 103 other autopsy cases without chronic cor pulmonale and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC) as control group. Morphologic and morphometric studies were taken on lung tissues and other organs with focus on the thrombi in small pulmonary arteries and arterioles. RESULTS: 44 cases of the study group had multiple thrombi in small pulmonary arteries and arterioles, the incidence is 89.8%, and in 9 of them, thrombi in proximal pulmonary arteries co-existed, the incidence is 18.4%. 80% of the thrombi existed in pulmonary arterioles. In the control group, only 3 cases had thrombi in small pulmonary arteries and arterioles, the incidence is 2.9%. All thrombi adhered to endangium, implying that they were in situ thrombi. No intravascular thrombosis was found in other organs. chi 2 test showed that the incidence of thrombosis and the number of thrombi in small pulmonary arteries and arterioles in cases with chronic cor pulmonale were significantly higher than those of the control group (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Multiple in situ thrombosis in small pulmonary arteries and arterioles is a prominent and common pathological change during the exacerbation stage of chronic cor pulmonale. The study suggests a new diagnostic and therapeutic concept and gives a morphological and theoretical basis for the clinical application of anticoagulants or even the thrombolytic agents for the cases of chronic cor pulmonale in the exacerbation stage.  (+info)

Cystic fibrosis complicated by heart failure. (7/114)

Survival studies were done on 36 children with cystic fibrosis and heart failure. Thirty percent did not survive the first four weeks, and the median survival for the group was between two and three months. By the end of the first year from the onset of failure, 74 percent had died and at 30 months, 87 percent had died.  (+info)

Cor pulmonale due to tumour embolism derived from intrasinusoidal metastatic liver carcinoma. (8/114)

Two cases of primary breast carcinoma are described, both terminating in acute cardiorespiratory failure due to multiple tumour micro-embolism. In both cases the source of the emboli was extensive metastatic intrasinusoidal carcinomatous infliltration of the liver. The association of these two uncommon conditions has not previously been reported. A brief review of the literature pertaining to diffuse intrasinusoidal metastatic carcinomaof the liver and to carcinomatous pulmonary embolism is included. The latter condition may be commoner and of greater clinical significance than his hitherto been appreciated. Some of the factors which may be responsible for this peculiar type of tumour dissemination are discussed.  (+info)

Pulmonary heart disease, also known as cor pulmonale, is a type of heart disease that occurs as a complication of chronic lung diseases or hypoxia (low oxygen levels in the body). The condition is characterized by enlargement and thickening of the right ventricle of the heart, which results from increased pressure in the pulmonary artery due to damaged or narrowed blood vessels in the lungs. This can lead to symptoms such as shortness of breath, fatigue, swelling in the legs and abdomen, and irregular heart rhythms. The condition can be managed with medications, oxygen therapy, and lifestyle changes, but if left untreated, it can lead to serious complications such as heart failure.

In medical terms, the heart is a muscular organ located in the thoracic cavity that functions as a pump to circulate blood throughout the body. It's responsible for delivering oxygen and nutrients to the tissues and removing carbon dioxide and other wastes. The human heart is divided into four chambers: two atria on the top and two ventricles on the bottom. The right side of the heart receives deoxygenated blood from the body and pumps it to the lungs, while the left side receives oxygenated blood from the lungs and pumps it out to the rest of the body. The heart's rhythmic contractions and relaxations are regulated by a complex electrical conduction system.

Heart disease is a broad term for a class of diseases that involve the heart or blood vessels. It's often used to refer to conditions that include:

1. Coronary artery disease (CAD): This is the most common type of heart disease. It occurs when the arteries that supply blood to the heart become hardened and narrowed due to the buildup of cholesterol and other substances, which can lead to chest pain (angina), shortness of breath, or a heart attack.

2. Heart failure: This condition occurs when the heart is unable to pump blood efficiently to meet the body's needs. It can be caused by various conditions, including coronary artery disease, high blood pressure, and cardiomyopathy.

3. Arrhythmias: These are abnormal heart rhythms, which can be too fast, too slow, or irregular. They can lead to symptoms such as palpitations, dizziness, and fainting.

4. Valvular heart disease: This involves damage to one or more of the heart's four valves, which control blood flow through the heart. Damage can be caused by various conditions, including infection, rheumatic fever, and aging.

5. Cardiomyopathy: This is a disease of the heart muscle that makes it harder for the heart to pump blood efficiently. It can be caused by various factors, including genetics, viral infections, and drug abuse.

6. Pericardial disease: This involves inflammation or other problems with the sac surrounding the heart (pericardium). It can cause chest pain and other symptoms.

7. Congenital heart defects: These are heart conditions that are present at birth, such as a hole in the heart or abnormal blood vessels. They can range from mild to severe and may require medical intervention.

8. Heart infections: The heart can become infected by bacteria, viruses, or parasites, leading to various symptoms and complications.

It's important to note that many factors can contribute to the development of heart disease, including genetics, lifestyle choices, and certain medical conditions. Regular check-ups and a healthy lifestyle can help reduce the risk of developing heart disease.

Heart rate is the number of heartbeats per unit of time, often expressed as beats per minute (bpm). It can vary significantly depending on factors such as age, physical fitness, emotions, and overall health status. A resting heart rate between 60-100 bpm is generally considered normal for adults, but athletes and individuals with high levels of physical fitness may have a resting heart rate below 60 bpm due to their enhanced cardiovascular efficiency. Monitoring heart rate can provide valuable insights into an individual's health status, exercise intensity, and response to various treatments or interventions.
