This is a case of successfully surgically treated RVOT obstruction caused by projection of the herniated aortic cusp through subpulmonic supracristal VSD at Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Sugery, Hanyang University Hospital. The patient was a 17 year old boy. Congenital heart anomaly was suspected at 2 years of his age. He had palpitation, dyspnea on exertion and epistaxis for 2 years prior to admission to our hospital. On examination, the blood pressure was 170/0mmHg. And the pulse rate was 100/rain. Widening of pulse pressure, water hammer pulse [bounding pulse]. To and fro murmur and head nodding were noted. Cardiomegaly was seen in chest x-ray. EKG, Echocardiography, Cardiac catheterization and angiocardiography were performed. On April 27, 81. Open heart surgery was performed under the impression of VSD combined with AI. On Rt. ventriculotomy, we noticed RVOT obstruction caused by prolapsed rt coronary cusp through a VSD. The subpulmonic supracristal VSD measuring 2.5 x 3 Cm in diameter was closed with Teflon patch graft and then the prolapsed aortic leaflet was plicated by placing three 8-figure suture between the free edge and the base of the leaflet through transverse aortotomy. After operation, excellent result was obtained: B.P, was 110/50mmHg and any sign of AI or residual shunt was not found at discharge.

Even though the pathogenesis is still controversial, electrocardiographic changes after congenital open heart surgery depend on various etiologic factors. Author reviewed 261 cases of congenital open heart surgery patient experienced in the Dept. of Thoracic & Cardiovascular Surgery, Pusan National University Hospital, since July, 1981 to Sept., 1985. The results were summarized as followed: 1. The age distribution was from 3 to 29 years old with mean age 10.8 years. And the most frequent congenital heart defect we had done operation was VSD. 2. Preoperatively, the most frequent ECG finding was abnormal QRS complex and postoperatively the most frequent ECG change was arrhythmia. 3. The most frequent arrhythmia before operation was intraventricular conduction disturbance. 4. Right ventriculotomy incision produced the more frequent abnormal ECG changes postoperatively than right atriotomy or pulmonary arteriotomy. 5. According to the operative technique, outflow patch graft of TOF repair produced the highest frequency of ECG changes after operation, and in comparing simple and patch closure of VSD, the latter was higher frequency of ECG changes, in valvotomy and infundibulectomy of PS, the latter was higher too. 6. The common symptom and signs in abnormally ECG changed patients after operation were palpitation, dyspnea, congestive heart failure and murmur in this order., 7. The longer the time of CPB, the more number of abnormally ECG changed patients had been developed after operation. 8. The most of postoperative ECG changed patients recovered spontaneously or with only medication and were clinically insignificant. And the rest other minor group recovered with temporary pacing. Eight cases out of 261 [3.1%], these with abnormal QRS complex and arrhythmia couldn`t recover in spite of every effort and eventually succumbed.

There were 9 male and 6 female patients [male to female ratio was 1.5: 1] ranging from 15 years to 63 years old [mean age 35.0]. All patients underwent pericardiectomy through a median sternotomy, partial cardiopulmonary bypass was performed on two patients. There were 3 postoperative death [20%]. Six cases [40%] were tuberculous origin 5 cases [34%] were Idiopathic [nonspecific chronic inflammatory change was considered to idiopathic], 2 cases [13%] were malignant origin, 2 cases [13Yo] were pyogenic origin. Dyspnea on exertion was evident in all patients and abdominal distention, general weakness, palpitation, peripheral edema were found. Eleven patients showed low voltage of QRS wave, 7 patients showed diffuse ST-T wave change, 2 patients showed atrial fibrillation on EKG. There were 6 patient showed pericardial thickening, 5 patients showed evidence of restriction, 5 patients showed pericardial effusion, 4 patients showed low cardiac output on preoperative echocardiogram. Hemodynamic response to pericardiectomy were observed; preoperative CVP 26.8 cmH2O declined to 15.0 cmH2O. Preoperative NYHA Functional class showed class II - 1, class III - 10, class IV - 4, postoperative NYHA functional class showed class I - 7, class II - 4, class Ill - l.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the cardiac knowledge and symptoms recognition between men and women with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Cross-sectional survey research design and convenience sampling were used in this study. 64 men and 42 women from a university medical center were participated in this study. Data collection were used with self reported questionnaires and medical records. Results: There was no difference in cardiac knowledge by gender. Women marked the higher score in symptoms recognition than men. Significant gender differences were observed in the reports of several symptoms (headache, nausea, palpitation, hand paresthesia, and leg numbness) and with ACS. There was significant correlation between cardiac knowledge and symptom recognition on both men and women. Conclusion: These findings suggest that health care professionals should pay attention to the differences in clinical symptoms between women and men. Furthermore, tailored information about possible symptoms of coronary artery disease according to the patient's gender is needed.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to investigate correlation between retention of fluid and PWV/ABI. Methods : The sample consists of 35 women who took plethynography(VS-1000;Fukuda Co.Ltd, Japan) at Oriental medicine exhibition held in COEX mall from August. 26. 2004 to August. 29. 2004. They were asked the intensity of the symptoms like dizziness or headache, nausea or bowel trouble, coldness in knee, and palpitation(1:none, 2:a little, 3:mild, 4:moderate, 5:severe). Women who answered 1,2 were classified as control group, and women who answered 3,4,5 were experimental group.
