Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) is the most common cyanotic congenital heart disease. Patients who have undergone surgical repair ToF constitute one largest groups disease patients surviving into adulthood. The history techniques has evolved through years, starting from early 1930s. In this context, many leading figures are acknowledged as pioneers in cardiothoracic surgery. There struggled to obtain...

Background: CKMB, the cardiac-specific heterodimer of cytosolic creatine-kinase (CK), is developmentally and physiologically regulated, tissue hypoxia being a proposed regulator. In patients with cyanotic heart disease the myocardium is perfused with partially saturated blood. We questioned whether the myocardium of cyanotic subjects contains higher proportions of CKMB. Materials and Methods: C...

Isolated lkvocardia, with the heart on the left but with the abdominal viscera inverted, is less well known than its counterpart, isolated dextrocardia, but is not very rare. In this paper we are reporting our findings in 20 patients, and Campbell (1963) has given reasons for thinking that its incidence may be about 1 in 22,000 of the general population. In any series of patients with cyanotic ...

Background: Iron deficiency is a common problem in patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD), but it often underdiagnosed. Cyanotic iron will experience higher morbidity due to symptoms of hyper viscosity. The consequences anemia may manifest either infancy or later. tendency develop metabolic acidosis and hyper-cyanotic attacks exacerbated by relative anemia. This study was perfor...

Probable right ventricular dysplasia and a patent foramen ovale resulted in cyanotic heart disease in a patient with some characteristics of Noonan syndrome.
