Care of patient resuscitated from cardiac arrest.
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is a major cause of death with survival rates as low as 5% to 35%. A large number of patients who survive resuscitation will face significant neurological damage, as a result of the ischemia that occurs both during cardiac arrest and reperfusion. However understanding of the mechanisms responsible for brain damage has not resulted in prog...
متن کاملCardiac Rehabilitation After Acute Myocardial Infarction Resuscitated From Cardiac Arrest
OBJECTIVE To examine the safety and effectiveness of cardiac rehabilitation on patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest due to acute myocardial infarction. METHODS The study included 23 subjects, including 8 with history of cardiac arrest and 15 without history of cardiac arrest. Both groups underwent initial graded exercise test (GXT) and subsequent cardiac rehabilitation for 6 weeks. After...
متن کاملCardiac Transplant Recipients
Beat-to-beat heart rate variability was studied by power spectral analysis in 17 orthotopic cardiac transplant patients. Heart rate power spectra were calculated from eighty-four 256-second recordings and compared with those taken from six normal subjects. The power spectra from the control subjects resolved into discrete peaks at 0.04-0.12 Hz and 0.2-0.3 Hz, whereas those of heart transplant r...
متن کاملHeart Transplant Recipients
Background Sudden death (SD) and acute myocardial infarction (AMI) are the main complications limiting long-term survival after heart transplantation (HT). They are unpredictable and, at present, unpreventable. Platelet aggregation (PA) has recently emerged as a significant prognostic indicator in nontransplanted coronary disease patients. The main purpose of the present study was to evaluate t...
متن کاملCardiac allograft vasculopathy in pediatric heart transplant recipients.
Metabolic parameters for coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) have not been well defined in children. CAV (by angiography or autopsy) was studied in 337 heart recipients on a cyclosporine-based steroid-sparing regimen. Freedom from CAV for all was 79% at 10 years. Fifty-nine patients (18%) developed CAV at a mean of 6.5 +/- 3 years post-transplant. First year rejections were significantly high...
