폐부종은 심인성, 혹은 비심인성 요인에 의해 발생한다. 심인성폐부종(Cardiogenic Pulmonary Edema, CPE)은 심질환, 좌심방 압력의 증가, 폐정맥과 폐모세혈관의 압력 증가와 관련있다. 이와는 대조적으로 비심인성 폐부종(Noncardiogenic Pulmonary Edema, NCPE)은 좌심방의 압력증가에 의해서 혹은 기저질환인 심장 질환과 관련없이 발생한 국소적인 정수압의 증가하여 발생하거나, 폐포나 모세혈관내 피표면의 투과도의 변화에 의해서 발생한다. 혹은 국소적인 정수압 및 투과도의 복합적인 변화 모두에 의하여 발생한다. NCPE의 환축을 적절하게 치료하기 위하여 CPE와 반드시 감별되어야 한다. 또한, 심인성 및 NCPE의 감별 및 적절한 처치를 위하여는 철저한 환축의 병력, 신체검사, 흉부방사선 촬영 등의 검사를 실시하여야 한다. NCPE는 원발요인과 치료반응에 따라 예후가 달라질 수 있다.

A 47-year-old male patient in whom atrial septal defect (ASD) had been diagnosed 15 years previously was admitted for cardiac catheterization. He had definite cyanotic lips and nail beds and severe pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). He had received medical treatment only for the last few years after being diagnosed with Eisenmenger syndrome. After cardiac catheterization, he received iloprost inhalation therapy pre and postoperation and was discharged after successful surgical closure of the ASD.

Isolated congenital aneurysm of the left atrium with intact pericardium is a rate anomaly, which usually presents with arrhythmia, cerebral embolism or abnormalities on routine chest X-ray. Surgery is indicated in most cases to eliminate a potential source of systemic emboli and arrhythmias. A 42-year-old woman having cervical cancer, she was suspected of having a left atrial aneurysm on review of chest X-ray and confirmed by echocardiography and cardiac catheterization. Surgical resection of Left atrial aneurysm was achieved without complication using median sternotomy with cardiopulmonary bypass. The postoperative course was uneventful.

Severe cardiac injury due to nonpenetrating blunt chest trauma is not uncommon, but survival to reach the hospital is rare. Successful management of fatal cardiac rupture depends on the high suspicion and on the prompt exploration. In the patient presented, the interatrial septal rupture was found associated with the right atrial rupture and the patient was successfully treated under the cardiopulmonary bypass. Although many types of cardiac rupture cases survived have been reported in the literature, we have been unable to find the interatrial septal rupture case like us. We would therefore like to report our experience with surgical repair of nonpenetrating rupture of right atrium and interatrial septum.

본 논문에서는 조기 심실 수축과 조기 심방 수축을 검출함에 있어 정밀한 QRS 구간의 폭, 정확한 P파와 T파의 크기 및 위치를 크게 요구하지 않고, 데이터의 가공과 복잡한 알고리즘의 사용에 의해 발생하는 ECG 데이터의 변형과 손실을 최소화할 수 있으며, 또한 개인차 때문에 발생할 수 있는 오류를 최소화하기 위한 알고리즘을 제안한다. 이를 위해 ECG 신호를 각각의 단위 파형으로 분리한 후, 정상 R-R 간격을 가지는 파형을 기준으로 기준파형을 만들어, 각 파형과 기준파형사이의 패턴 대조 및 유사도 분석을 통해 조기 심실수축과 조기심방수축을 검출할 수 있도록 하였다.

Purpose : Captopril (angiotension converting enzyme inhibitor) is known to have a radioproptective effect in the lungs, intestines and skin, but its effect in the heart is unclear. To investigate the radioprotectlve efiect and mechanism of captopril on the heart, the histopathological changes and immunohistochemical stains were compared with radiation alone, and radiation combined with captopril, in the rats. Materials and Methods : The histopathological changes and immunohistochemical stains ($TNF{\alpha}$, $TGF{\beta}1$, PDGF and FGF2) were examined in the radiation alone and the combined captopril and radiation groups, 2 and 8 weeks after irradiation. Each group consisted of 8 to 10 rats (Sprague-Dawley). Irradiation (12.5 Gy) was given to the left hemithorax in a single fraction. Captopril (50 mg/Kg/d) mixed with water, was given orally and continuously from the first week prior to, up to the 8th week of the experiment. Results : In the radiation alone group, the ventricle at 2 weeks after irradiation showed prominent edema (p=0.082) and fibrin deposit (p=0.018) compared to the control group. At 8 weeks, the edema was decreased and fibrosis increased compared to those at 2 weeks. The histopathological changes of the combined group were similar to those of the control group, due to the reduced radiation toxicity at 2 and 8 weeks. The endocardial fibrin deposit (p=0.047) in the atrium, and the interstitial fibrin deposit (p=0.019) and edema (p=0.042) of the ventricle were reduced significantly in the combined group compared to those in the radiation alone group at 2 weeks. The expressions of $TNF-{\alpha}$, $TGF-{\beta}1$, PDGF and FGF-2 in the radiation alone group were more increased than in the control group, especially in the pericardium and endocardium of the atrium at 2 weeks. At 8 weeks, the pericardial $TNF-{\alpha}$ and $TGF-{\beta}1$ in the radiation alone group continuously increased. The expressions of $TNF-{\alpha}$, $TGF-{\beta}1$ and PDGF were decreased in the combined group at 2 weeks. At 8 weeks, the expressions of $TNF-{\alpha}$ in the atrial and ventricular pericardia were markedly reduced (p=0.049, p=0.009). Conclusion : This study revealed that the early heart damage induced by radiation can be reduced by the addition of captopril in a rat model. The expressions of $TNF-{\alpha}$, $TGF-{\beta}1$ and PDGF were further decreased in the combined compared to the radiation alone group at both 2 and 8 weeks. From these results, it may be concluded that these cytokines probably play roles in the radioprotective mechanism of captopril from the radiation-induced heart toxicity, similarly to in other organs.

This study is to clarify the results of atrial septal defect(ASD) repair and mitral valve surgery through right anterolateral thoracotomy since 1989, and those of more generalized application of minimal invasive cardiac surgery since August 1997. We retrospectively analyzed the results of open heart surgery(OHS) through other than full sternotomy carried out until October 1997. There were 28 cases of OHS done through right anterolateral thoracotomy(17 cases of ASD, 4 cases of mitral valve repair, 6 cases of mitral valve replacement, and 1 redo mitral and tricuspid valve repalcement) which has demonstrated no surgical mortality or morbidity except only 1 case of reoperation for bleeding. During the period between August and October 1997, we performed near routine application of upper sternotomy or transverse sternotomy in aortic valve cases and routine application of minimal incision in cases with ASD and there was no evidence of early and late complications associated with this approach. We conclude that OHS with the use of minimal incisions is very safe, cosmetically excellent, and superior in terms of the amount of bleeding. The indication for minimal incision, therefore, should be extended afterwards.
