  • 심실중격결손증 중 심첨부 근육형은 드문 심기형이다. 특히 소아에서는 시야확보가 어려워 심방실을 통한 접근은 치료가 힘들다. 좌심실을 통한 치료는 장기적으로 좌심실 기능부전을 가져온다. 혈관 중재술을 통한 치료는 아직 만족스런 결과를 얻기 힘들며 어린 소아에서는 가능하지도 않다. 심첨부 근육형 심실중격결손증의 수술 시 우심첨부 절개술이 시야확보가 용이하며 심실기능에 손상을 주지 않고 안전하고 성공적인 교정술이 가능하였음을 보고한다.

  • 외상성 심장 손상은 매우 위중한 의학적인 상황이다. 흉벽의 외상이 없는 경우 심장의 손상은 간과될 수 있다. 저자들은 자동차 추돌사고를 입고 우심방 파열이 발생한 47세 여자 환자를 보고한다. 감속손상으로부터 발생하는 비틀림의 힘은 고정점에서 심장의 파열을 일으킬 수 있다. 심장의 심각한 손상을 의심할 수 있는 가장 흔한 증상은 활력증후의 변화이다. 그러므로 감속손상을 입은 환자에서 흉벽의 외상이 없더라도, 이유가 설명되지 않는 저혈압이 관찰될 때 심장의 손상을 의심하여야겠다.

  • Objectives: This study investigated the effects of comorbid sleep disorders (SD) on the incidence of cardiovascular complications among newly-diagnosed hypertension (HTN) patients. Methods: As study population, 124 057 newly-diagnosed essential HTN patients aged 30 or older, without cardiovascular complications at diagnosis with HTN, were selected from the National Health Insurance Service-National Sample Cohort. The incidence of cardiovascular complications was calculated, Cox proportional-hazards regression model was used to analyze the risk of complications, and the population attributable fraction (PAF) for cardiovascular complications of having comorbid SD at HTN diagnosis was calculated. Results: Over 10 years, 32 275 patients (26.0%) developed cardiovascular complications. In HTN patients with comorbid SD at diagnosis of HTN, the incidence of cardiovascular complications (78.3/1000 person-years; 95% confidence interval [CI], 75.8 to 80.9) was higher than in those without comorbid SD (58.6/1000 person-years; 95% CI, 57.9 to 59.3) and the risk of cardiovascular complications was 1.21 times higher (95% CI, 1.17 to 1.25), adjusting for age, gender, income, area of residence, and comorbid diabetes mellitus. The PAF of having comorbid SD at diagnosis of HTN for the incidence of cardiovascular complications was 2.07% (95% CI, 1.69 to 2.44). Conclusions: Newly-diagnosed essential HTN patients aged 30 or older who had comorbid SD at the time of their HTN diagnosis had a higher incidence of cardiovascular complications than those without comorbid SD. Age, gender, income, area of residence, and comorbid diabetes mellitus had a significant effect on the incidence of cardiovascular complications. Approximately 2% of cardiovascular complications were found to occur due to the presence of SD.

  • Background: The extracorporeal ventricular assist device (e-VAD) system is designed for left ventricular support using a permanent life support console. This study aimed to determine the impact of temporary e-VAD implantation bridging on posttransplant outcomes. Methods: We reviewed the clinical records of 6 patients with the Interagency Registry for Mechanically Assisted Circulatory Support (INTERMACS) profile 1, awaiting heart transplantation, who were provided with temporary e-VAD from 2018 to 2019. The circuit comprised a single centrifugal pump without an oxygenator. The e-VAD inflow cannula was inserted into the apex of the left ventricle, and the outflow cannula was positioned in the ascending aorta. The median follow-up duration was 8.4±6.9 months. Results: After e-VAD implantation, lactate dehydrogenase levels significantly decreased, and Sequential Organ Failure Assessment scores significantly improved. Bedside rehabilitation was possible in 5 patients. After a mean e-VAD support duration of 14.5±17.3 days, all patients were successfully bridged to transplantation. After transplantation, 5 patients survived for at least 6 months. Conclusion: e-VAD may reverse end-organ dysfunction and improve outcomes in INTERMACS I heart transplant patients.

  • Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine the association between two major oral diseases and cardiovascular diseases. Methods: Data from the 6th Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (2013-2015) were used. The study included 12,754 adults, aged ${\geq}19years$, who participated in the questionnaire survey of health related to hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris as well as completed blood tests, anthropometry, and oral examination. Statistical analyses included complex sample frequency, complex sample general linear, complex sample cross-tabulation, and complex sample logistic regression analyses. Results: With respect to the number of Decayed-Missing-Filled-Teeth(DMFT ), patients with hypertension (DMFT 8.05), stroke (DMFT 8.66), and angina pectoris (DMFT 8.24) showed a DMFT score of >2, compared with those who did not have these diseases (p<0.05). Patients with hypertension, stroke, myocardial infarction, and angina pectoris presented an approximately 2.7, 3.5, 4, and 3 times higher incidence of periodontal diseases, respectively, than those who did not (p<0.05). Based on the analysis of the relationship between the number of DMFT and cardiovascular diseases, patients with cardiovascular diseases had a risk of 1.033 higher DMFT than those who did not (p<0.05). As per the analysis of the relationship between periodontal diseases and cardiovascular diseases, patients with cardiovascular diseases had a 2.969 higher risk of periodontaldiseasesthanthosewithout them (p<0.05). Conclusions: Two major oral diseases were found to be associated with cardiovascular diseases. Therefore, to prevent these major oral diseases in patients with cardiovascular diseases, oral hygiene management must be actively performed.

  • Background: Korea National Health Checkup Programs are aimed at the prevention and early detection of cardiovascular disease in adults. To establish a countermeasure for this tendency, The current Korea National Health Checkup Programs have been providing Health Risk Appraisal (HRA) since 2009, thereby focusing on individual lifestyle correction. However, from 2018, the dyslipidemia screening exam cycle has been changed from 2 to 4 years. Methods: In this study, we try to investigate whether policy decisions are valid based on domestic reports that have influenced policy decisions. First, considering the epidemiology of the domestic cardiovascular disease, dyslipidemia, and metabolic syndrome, the change of the 4-year cycle is appropriate or not. Second, whether the research method that applies came to make policy decisions appropriate or not. Third, our study also investigates whether the direction of policy decision was suitable for the second comprehensive national examination plan. Results: The data that are used in the previous study were that of 10 years ago and there also was a problem in selecting the data, especially the use of one of the research methods to calculate the signal to noise ratio that was aimed at improving health had some problems. This is a research method that does not match with the aim itself. Conclusion: Changing the screening cycle for dyslipidemia does not match the recent trend of general screening to effectively prevent cardiovascular disease in improving individual lifestyles in the national health checkup plan. Studying the relationship with metabolic syndrome, which can be an intermediate stage of cardiovascular disease, could be a policy direction that is more suitable for the national health examination comprehensive plan.

  • A 43-year-old woman was diagnosed with an intravenous leiomyomatosis at a previous hospital and transferred to our hospital to undergo surgical treatment. Emergency one-stage operation for coincidental removal of intra-abdominal, right atrial, and intravenous masses were planned. Upon arriving at the operating room, she suffered a sudden onset of severe dyspnea and showed hemodynamic instability. Intraoperative TEE showed pulmonary embolization of a right atrial mass. Removal of the pulmonary artery mass and the intra-abdominal mass, and the cardiopulmonary bypass were performed without any complications.

  • Background: This study was conducted with the aim of determining how students' perceived smoking-cancer relationship and cardiovascular health attitudes affect childrens' views of smoking. Materials and Methods: The sample of this descriptive-cross sectional study comprised 574 subjects between the ages of 11-15. The data were collected using the Children's Cardiovascular Health Promotion Attitude Scale and the Children's Decisional Balance Measure for Assessing and Predicting Smoking Status. Correlation and logistic regression were used for analysis. Results: It was determined that a statistically significant relationship exists between the attitudes of children towards smoking and their ideas about the relationship of smoking with cancer, which is negative and low (r=-0.223). There was also a statistically significant relationship between their attitudes towards cardiovascular health and their attitudes towards smoking, again at a low level (r=0.257). It was determined that children with ideas about smoking and cancer were 9.4 times less likely to have positive/negative attitudes towards smoking, while positive attitudes towards cardiovascular health made negative attitudes towards smoking 3.9 times less likely. Conclusions: It was determined that the attitudes of students towards cardiovascular health and their perceptions of smoking and cancer reduced the positive perceptions towards smoking.

  • The Metabolic syndrome is a constellation of lipid and non-lipid factors of metabolic origin. The presence of any 3 of the following factors is considered sufficient for diagnosis : hypertension(BP <130/85mmHg), low HDL-cholesterol (<40mg% in men, <50mg% in woman), high triglyceride(>150mg%) and abdominal obesity(abdominal girth >102cm in men, 88cm in woman). The major adverse consequence of the metabolic syndrome is cardiovascular disease. Several studies have shown an association between metabolic syndrome and increased cardiovascular events. In Korea, the prevalence of the factor of metabolic syndrome has been increasing since 20 years previously when the Korean economy began to grow rapidly, with a resultant change in lifestyle, toward that of western countries. Thus, the management of the metabolic syndrome is an important social and medical issue in terms of the national health problem. This review will consider each factor in turn, providing insight for health care providers in an effort to prevention of cardiovascular events and maintenance of quality of life in persons with metabolic syndrome was discussed.
