Mast Cells: Key Contributors to Cardiac Fibrosis
Historically, increased numbers of mast cells have been associated with fibrosis in numerous cardiac pathologies, implicating mast cells in the development of cardiac fibrosis. Subsequently, several approaches have been utilised to demonstrate a causal role for mast cells in animal models of cardiac fibrosis including mast cell stabilising compounds, rodents deficient in mast cells, and inhibit...
متن کاملInterventional cardiac catheterization.
Over the past decade, transcatheter interventions have become increasingly important in the treatment of patients with congenital heart lesions. These procedures may be broadly grouped as dilations (e.g., septostomy, valvuloplasty, angioplasty, and endovascular stenting) or as closures (e.g., vascular embolization and device closure of defects). Balloon valvuloplasty has become the treatment of...
متن کاملComplications of Cardiac Catheterization
Because all cardiac catheterizations involve the insertion of foreign objects (i.e., cardiac catheters) into the circulatory system, it should not be surprising that a variety of adverse events (complications) can ensue. These complications range from minor problems with no long-term sequelae (e.g., transient bradycardia during coronary contrast injection) to major problems [e.g., cardiac perfo...
متن کاملFatality following cardiac catheterization injury.
The widespread use of cardiac catheterization has revealed certain dangers inherent in the procedure when the catheter is advanced beyond the tricuspid valve. Ventricular and other ectopic rhythms are a well recognized risk, but less is known about the effect of damage to the endocardium produced by the catheter in man (Zimdahl, 1951). This paper presents in detail a case that terminated fatall...
متن کاملBACTERIURIA DUE TO CATHETERIZATION IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTSBACTERIURIA DUE TO CATHETERIZATION IN HOSPITALIZED PATIENTS
In this survey, made to determine instances of bacteriuria occurring in hospitalized patients who had undergone catheterization, 259 urine specimens were taken from 103 patients admitted to three hospitals in Tehran. Of the 73 patients who had no urinary tract infection or contamination, 40 (54.8%) developed bacteriuria at the end of catheterization. Incidence of bacteriuria in patients un...
