Background and purpose: Arterial stiffness is an important, independent determinant of cardiovascular risk. Pulse wave velocity (PWV) has been used as a valuable index of arterial stiffness and as a surrogate marker for atherosclerosis. The Framingham risk score was developed using categorized risk factors to predict the 10 year absolute risk of developing coronary heart disease (CHD). This algorithm is established using recommended guidelines for blood pressure, total cholesterol, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol in addition to age, smoking history and history of diabetes. Tongxinluo(TXL) has been shown to have anti hyperlipidemic activity and anti atherogenic effects. To determine its efficacy and safety, we examined whether TXL improves PWV, ABI, Framingham score, blood pressure, and lipid profile in high risk group of cardiovascular diseases. Subjects and methods: 49 subjects with the high risk of cardiovascular diseases were recruited. Subjects were administered TXL with the dose of 1110mg three times a day for 8 weeks. baPWV, ABI, Framingham risk score, Blood pressure and serum lipid profile were assessed at baseline and after 4 and 8weeks. Results: Total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, triglyceride, total lipid and phospolipid significantly decreased after 4 weeks of medication. Total cholesterol, total lipid and phospolipid significantly decreased after 8 weeks of medication. There were no significant changes in Framingham risk scores, ABI, PWV and blood pressure. On safety assessment, there were no adverse effects, hepatic or renal toxicity. Conclusion: We suggest that TXL is a safe and useful herbal medicine for hyperlipidemia and as for anti-atherognic effects, further research would be necessary.

근육형 심실중격결손의 표준적 치료로 알려져 있는 수술적 폐쇄는 시야확보가 어려울 경우 여러 합병증을 야기할 수 있으며 심실절개를 요하는 경우도 있다. 다른 접근법으로는 카테터 기구를 기반으로 하는 중재술이 있지만 이 또한 제한점이 있다. 수술적 치료와 중재술을 조합한 하이브리드 수술은 이러한 경우에 있어 침습성을 줄일 수 있다. 저자들은 근육형 심실중격결손에 대한 하이브리드 수술을 2예 시행하여 만족할 만한 결과를 얻었기에 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하고자 한다.

심실 중격 결손과 폐동맥 협착을 가지고 있는 대혈관 전위 환자의 수술적 치료방법으로 Rastelli 수술법이 보편화되어 왔으나, 추적 관찰 중에 심장외 도관의 폐쇄, 좌심실 유출로의 폐쇄, 부정맥이 높은 확률로 발생하는 등의 장기 성적이 만족스럽지 못하였다. 이와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위해 본원에서 2003년과 2006년에 심실 중격 결손과 폐동맥 협착을 가지고 있는 대혈관 전위 환자 2명을 반회전 동맥간 회전술 및 Lecompte 술식을 이용하여 수술하였고, 추적 관찰을 통해 양심실 유출로의 중기 변화에 대한 경험을 보고한다.

Background: Recent developments in surgical techniques and hospital care have led to improved outcomes following total anomalous pulmonary venous return (TAPVR) repair. However, the surgical repair of TAPVR remains associated with a high risk of mortality and need for reoperation. We conducted this retrospective study to evaluate mid-term outcomes following in situ TAPVR repair without total circulatory arrest (TCA), and to identify the risk factors associated with surgical outcomes. Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 29 cases of surgical intervention for TAPVR conducted between April 2000 and July 2015. All patients were newborns or infants who underwent in situ TAPVR repair without TCA. Results: Four anatomic subtypes of TAPVR were included in this study: supracardiac (20 cases, 69.0%), cardiac (4 cases, 13.8%), infracardiac (4 cases, 13.8%), and mixed (1 case, 3.4%). The median follow-up period for all patients was 42.9 months. Two (6.9%) early mortalities occurred, as well as 2 (6.9%) cases of postoperative pulmonary venous obstruction (PVO). Preoperative ventilator care (p=0.027) and preoperative PVO (p=0.002) were found to be independent risk factors for mortality. Conclusion: In situ repair of TAPVR without TCA was associated with encouraging mid-term outcomes. Preoperative ventilator care and preoperative PVO were found to be independent risk factors for mortality associated with TAPVR repair.

Hypercholesterolemia is one of main causes of coronary heart disease(CHD). Clinical trials demonstrated that lowering serum cholesterol levels would reduce incidence of new cardiovascular events and mortality by primary or secondary preventions. The objective of this retrospective study was to compare efficacy and side effects of lovartatin and simvastatin in treatement of hypercholesterolemia. In Boramae Hospital, patients were included when they have taken lovastatin 20 mg or simvastatin 10 mg for 52 weeks with laboratory monitoring for cholesterol at baseline, 3, 6 and 12 month period. As results, total 128 outpatients were included with their total cholesterol level <240 mg/dl and triglyceride level <400 mg/dl at baseline. Total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol of lovastatin group (n=60) and simvastatin group (n=68) were significantly reduced from baseline (p=0.001). Lovastatin maximally reduced total cholesterol by $23.9\%,\;triglyceride\;by\;12.3\%$, LDL cholesterol by $36.1\;\%$ and increased HDL cholerterol by $7.8\%$ and simvastatin reduced by $24.1\%,\;20.5\%,\;34.3\%\;respectively$ and HDL increased by $11.2\%$. There were no significant differences between lovastatin and simvastatin in mean percent change of lipid levels at 12, 24 and 52 weeks from baseline. Cumulative percentage of patients reaching the target LDL cholesterol concentration by 24 weeks was $61.7\%$ in lovastatin and $64.7\%$ in simvastatin. Average time to reach the target LDL goal was 100.1 days in lovastatin and 99.8 days in simvastatin. Both lovastatin and simvastatin also significantly reduced total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol in all subgroups (diabetes mellitus, hypertension, and coronary heart disease). In this study, treatment efficacy in patients with coronary heart disease was lower than other patients. Considering clinical importance of secondary prevention, more intensive treatment is necessary to decrease LDL cholesterol level of 100 mg/dl or lower in patients with coronary heart disease or other clinical atherosclerotic disease. There were no serious side effects during the study period. Digestive side effects were most frequently reported (lovastatin $8.3\%\;vs\;simvastatin\;8.8\%$). In conclusion, both lovastatin and simvastatin were similar in lipid lowering effects and there was no difference in incidence of side effects.

High serum cholesterol level is a major risk factor for coronary heart disease(CHD). Nutrition therapy of hypocholesterolemic diets with increased physical activity is the essential step in the treatment of the hypercholesterolemic patients. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the short-term effect of intensive dietary therapy combined with regular exercise in lowering serum cholesterol level. Seventy three hypercholesterolemic outpatients(mean: 268.0$\pm$24.7mg/dL), aged 34 to 73(mean: 56$\pm$9.8yrs), who visited cardiology OPD of Yonsei Cardiovascular Center from April through October, 1998 were studied. Anthropometric measurements, usual nutrient intake survey using semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire, and daily nutrient intake analysis were performed. The nutrition counseling for the hypocholesterolemic diet and exercise therapy was performed individually. After a 4 week intensive dietary therapy, comparisons of body weight, nutrient intakes, and blood lipid concentrations were evaluated for the hypocholesterolemic effect of intensive diet therapy. After 4 weeks of intensive diet therapy, significant reductions in percent ideal body weight(p<0.01), saturated fat intake(p<0.01), and cholesterol intake(p<0.01) were observed. There were significant reductions in serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol levels after 4 weeks of therapy by 8.1%(p<0.01) and 9.7%(p<0.01), respectively. Our results showed that intensive dietary therapy was effective in reductions of serum total and LDL-cholesterol levels. The goal for this dietary modification should not be temporary but rather be permanent in eating behavior accompanied by appropriately increased physical activity.

이 연구는 관상동맥질환 수술기주위의 결과예측에 있어 수술 전 백혈구 및 D-dimer 수치가 유용한 인자가 될 수 있는지를 규명하기 위해 회고적으로 실시하였다. 수술 전 백혈구 수는 수술 전 및 후의 심장표지자인 troponin-I, creatine kinase-MB, C-반응단백 각각의 농도와 정의 상관성이 있었다. 수술 전 D-dimer 농도 역시 수술기주위의 심장표지자들과 정의 상관관계를 보였다. 수술 전 백혈구 수는 간표지자인 aspartate aminotransferase 및 alanine aminotransferase의 수술 전후 농도와 정의 상관관계를 보였는데 비해, 수술 전 D-dimer 농도는 수술 전후 빌리루빈 농도, 수술 전 글루코스 농도, 수술 후 크레아티닌 농도와 각각 정 또는 역의 상관관계가 있었다. 수술 전 백혈구 및 D-dimer 수치 둘 다 수술 전 고밀도콜레스테롤 농도 및 좌심실구출계수와 각각 역의 상관관계가 있었다. 수술전 백혈구 수는 수술시간 및 수술 후 기계보조 호흡시간과 각 정의 상관관계를 보였고, 수술 전 D-dimer 농도는 수술 후 기계보조 호흡시간, 중환자실 치료기간, 재원기간과 각 정의 상관관계가 있었다. 이 회고적 조사의 결과는 수술 전 백혈구 및 D-dimer 수치가 관상동맥수술 환자들의 수술기주위 결과예측에 있어 임상적으로 유용한 인자들이 될 수 있음을 시사하고 있다.
