This study was carried out to see dietary intakes of patients with coronary heart disease since we don't understand their dietary patterns even though the mortality and prevalence rate of coronary hear disease are increasing in this country. We studied 75 coronary heart disease patients and 150 randomly selected controls, matched for age, sex, height and weight, in a population based study. All subjects completed a questionnaire that included disease history, diagnosis time, current treatment, etc., a 24 hour dietary recall, and measurement of height and weight. Compared to controls, patients had less likely to drink alcohol and smoke cigarette (p＜0.05). The energy intake of patients was significantly lower than that of controls, but the intakes of fiber, $\beta$-carotene, sodium, folate, vitamin C, potassium in male patients and those of vitamin C and sodium in female patients were significantly higher than those of controls (p＜0.05). Mean adequacy ratio and dietary variety score of patients were also higher than those of controls (p＜0.05). Patient group's consumed less cereals than controls, but more vegetables, milk products, and nuts in male patients and fruits, beans and seasonings in female patients compared to controls'. There were not significant differences of lipid compositions between two groups, except linolenic acid. These data suggest that patients with coronary heart disease in Korea had better dietary nutrient intakes compared to healthy controls, which might be helpful to prevent recurrence of coronary heart disease.

Since we first performed open heart surgery on December 30, 1986, 126 cases were operated on up to August 31, 1989. Among the 126 cases, 65 cases were congenital heart disease of which 63 were acyanotic disease, and 61 cases were acquired heart disease, most of which were valvular heart disease. The age distribution of congenital heart disease was from 1 years 2 months to 48 years, and males had a slightly higher incidence. The age of acquired heart disease was from a minimum of 15 years to a maximum of 68 years, and the male to female ratio was 1;1.5. Midsternotomy was performed in all cases, and the aortic cannula was inserted through ascending aorta and the venous cannula inserted into the SVC and IVC through the right atrium. Vent was inserted through the right superior pulmonary vein. Cardioplegia solution was used in all cases; it was composed of sodium bicarbonate 3.5 ampule, KCL 14 mEq, 2% lidocaine 2.5 ml, 20 % albumin 50 ml and heparin 1000 units mixed to 950 ml with Hartman solution, and was made to 4oC and infused 10 ml per Kg every 20 minutes. The congenital heart disease had a variety of VSD in 32 cases, ASD 23 cases, PS 6 cases, PDA 2 cases, and one case each of Ebsteins anomaly and tricuspid atresia. The operations performed for acquired heart disease were 4 cases of OMC, 33 cases of MVR, and 5 cases of AVR, and 1 case of AVR with CABG. DVR was perfomed in 13 cases, and triple valve replacement was done in 1 case. Other than these, excision of LA myxoma was 2 cases, and repair of traumatic VSD and removal of a pulmonary embolism were one case each. The surgical mortality was 5 cases[4%], all of which occurred in valve replacement cases. Follow-up study revealed 2 late deaths. One died after a traffic accident and one died due to sepsis after he had received a gastrectomy for ulcer bleeding. The remaining patients were in good condition.

For a doctor, diagnosing a patient's heart disease is not easy. It takes the ability and experience with high flying hours to be able to accurately diagnose the type of patient's heart disease based on the existing factors in the patient. Several studies have been carried out to develop tools to identify types of heart disease in patients. However, most only focus on the results of patient answers and lab results, the rest use only echocardiography data or electrocardiogram results. This research was conducted to test how accurate the results of the classification of heart disease by using two medical data, namely echocardiography and electrocardiogram. Three treatments were applied to the two medical data and analyzed using the decision tree approach. The first treatment was to build a classification model for types of heart disease based on echocardiography and electrocardiogram data, the second treatment only used echocardiography data and the third treatment only used electrocardiogram data. The results showed that the classification of types of heart disease in the first treatment had a higher level of accuracy than the second and third treatments. The accuracy level for the first, second and third treatment were 78.95%, 73.69% and 50%, respectively. This shows that in order to diagnose the type of patient's heart disease, it is advisable to look at the records of both the patient's medical data (echocardiography and electrocardiogram) to get an accurate level of diagnosis results that can be accounted for.

심장의 활동을 기록한 심전도는 심장의 상태에 대한 가치 있는 임상 정보를 제공한다. 지금까지 심전도를 이용한 심장 질환 진단 알고리즘에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔으나, 심장 질환에 대한 국내 진단 결과의 부정확성 때문에 외국의 진단 알고리즘을 사용하고 있다. 이 논문에서는 원시 심전도 데이터로부터 심장 질환 진단의 파라미터인 ST-segment 추출 방법을 제안한다. ST-segment는 관상동맥 질환 예측에 활용되므로 데이터마이닝의 분류기법을 적용하여 질환을 예측한다. 또한 연관규칙 마이닝을 통해 환자들의 임상 데이터로부터 심장 질환자들의 임상적 특징을 예측한다.

77 cases of Aortic Valve Replacement, which were composed of 64 rheumatic valvular heart disease and 13 combined congenital heart disease, were operated at Seoul National University Hospital for Aortic valvular disease during the period from June 1968 to December 1983. Among these 64 rheumatic aortic valvular heart disease cases, 8 patients were expired during and immediate after operation and overall mortality rate was 12.5%. For more precise remarks, these patients were divided into two periodic groups, 1st period [from 1968 to 1976] and 2nd [from 1977 to 1983] when annual open heart surgery were over 100 cases, and in 1st period three of four patients were died and in 2nd period five of sixty patients were died and its mortality rate was 8.3%. There were 12 cases of postoperative complication, which were 3 cases of remaining other valvular heart disease required MVR, 2 paravalvular leaks [one of them got Redo AVR], 4 thromboembolism or problem of anticoagulant therapy, 2 late death due to SBE with replaced valve failure and one functional AS with small sized valve. Operative death was affected by pump-time and aortic cross-clamping time, heart size, Ejection Fraction, LVEDP and symptom duration, and other many factors may influence the survival rate. Improved operative technique and myocardial protection and meticulous evaluation of the preoperative patient status will make the AVR safer.

A 4-month-old boy diagnosed with acute myocarditis was treated with extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO). Follow-up echocardiography eight hours after ECMO revealed intracardiac thrombosis involving all four heart chambers. Because of the high risk of systemic embolization due to a pedunculated thrombus of the aortic valve, we performed an emergency thrombectomy. After the operation, the patient had a minor neurologic sequela of left upper arm hypertonia, which had almost disappeared at the last outpatient clinic two months later. He was diagnosed with a major mutation in MTHFR (methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase), which is related to thrombosis.

Patients with venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) frequently suffer from pulmonary edema due to left ventricular dysfunction that accompanies left heart dilatation, which is caused by left atrial hypertension. The problem can be resolved by left atrium (LA) decompression. We performed a successful percutaneous LA decompression with an atrial septostomy and placement of an LA venting cannula in a 38-month-old child treated with venoarterial ECMO for acute myocarditis.

This study was to examine effects of the eight month exercise program at lactate threshold level intensity on 11 women patients of ischemic heart disease. The %body fat and systolic blood pressure were decreased and the aerobic capacioties of oxygen consumption as well as oxygen consumption at lactate threshold were improved through the exercise program arranged by this study. The lipid variables concerned with coronary heart disease were changed a little except that triglyceride was significantly decreased during the exercise program. The effects obtained from exercise program during four months lasted to the end of the exercise program. In case we control the exercise intensity according to increase of oxygen consumption at lactate threshold the exercise program conducted by this study will be effective to the treatment for ischemic heart disease patients.(Korean J Nutrition 33(6) . 668~674, 2000)

Echocardiography and cardiac enzymes test are the tests to assess ischemic heart disease. The purpose of this study was to verify the accuracy by comparing and analyzing two tests for the diagnosis of ischemic heart disease. A retrospective study was conducted on 393 study subjects who underwent echocardiography and cardiac enzymes test. As a result of the study, regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA) increased as the age of the study subjects increased. As a result of ROC analysis, RWMA showed a larger area under the curve (AUC) than cardiac enzymes. RWMA showed the highest accuracy with 81.1% of all cardiac enzymes. Among cardiac enzymes, cTnI showed the highest accuracy. Thus, It was confirmed that RWMA of echocardiography is more accurate than cardiac enzyme is in diagnosing ischemic heart disease.
