목적: 급성 심근경색증 환자에서 좌심실 이완 기능과 좌심실 충만압은 환자의 예후와 관련되어 있다고 알려져 있다. 이 연구의 목적은 젊은 급성 심근경색증 환자에서 좌심실 이완 기능 저하 및 충만압 상승에 따른 임상 경과의 차이를 파악하고자 하였다. 방법: 2011년 1월부터 2015년 8월까지 Korea Acute Myocardial Infarction Registry-National Institute of Health (KAMIR-NIH)에 등록된 환자 중 젊은 급성 심근경색증(남 < 45세, 여 < 55세)으로 전남대학교병원에 입원한 환자 240명중에서 관상동맥중재술을 시술받고 2년 동안 임상 추적 관찰이 되어 분석 가능한 환자 200명(남 : 여 = 160명 : 40명)을 대상으로 하였다. 200명의 환자를 좌심실 이완 기능이 정상인 군(46명, $39.5{\pm}5.3$세)과 비정상군(154명, $43.5{\pm}5.1$세)으로 나누었다. 좌심실 충만압을 측정하였으며, 좌심실 충만압 상승을 E/e' ratio 15 이상으로 정의하였다. 좌심실 이완 기능 정상군과 비정상군으로 나누었고 정상 좌심실 충만압군과 좌심실 충만압 상승군으로 나누어 각각 주요 심장 사건을 분석하였다. 주요 심장 사건은 사망, 심근경색증의 재발 및 재관류술로 정의하였다. 결과: 연구 대상자를 평균 $40.9{\pm}11.6$개월 동안 임상적으로 추적 관찰한 결과, 이 중 26명(13%)에서 사망, 심근경색증재발 및 재관류등의 주요 심장 사건이 발생하였고, 좌심실이완 기능 정상군과 비정상군 간의 유의한 차이는 없었다(p = 0.810). 또한 좌심실 이완 기능을 정상군과 1도 이완기기능 장애군과 2도 이완기 기능 장애군으로 나누어서 추가 분석하였다. 2도 이완기 기능 장애군에서 심근경색증 재발은 유의한 차이를 보였지만(p = 0.006), 주요 심장 사건과 유의한 차이는 없었다(p = 0.081). 그러나 좌심실 충만압 상승군에서 정상 좌심실 충만압을 가진 환자군에 비하여 주요 심장 사건의 발생률은 유의한 차이가 있었다(p < 0.001). 다변량 분석 결과 주요 심장 사건 발생의 독립적인 인자는 E/e' ratio 15 이상 환자로 파악되었다(p = 0.019). Kaplan-Meier 생존 곡선을 이용한 사망률을 추적한 결과 좌심실 수축 기능 40% 미만인 환자(p < 0.001)와 E/e' ratio 15 이상 환자(p = 0.004)에서 유의하게 생존율이 낮았다. 결론: 높은 좌심실 충만압은 젊은 급성 심근경색증 환자의 예후에 대한 독립적 예측 인자였으며, 좌심실 충만압의 측정은 젊은 급성 심근경색증 환자에서 심근경색증 후 고위험 환자군 분류에 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

배경: HTK 용액은 우수한 심근보호 효과를 나타내는 것으로 알려져 왔다. HTK 용액은 비교적 낮은 농도의 칼륨으로 심정지를 유도하고, 저농도의 나트륨을 함유하며, 혈액보다 우수한 완충능을 제공하는 생물학적 완충제인 histidine을 다량 포함하는 것이 특징이다. HTK 용액의 심근보호 효과는 우수하여 1회 주입으로 상당한 시간(120분) 허혈로부터 심근을 보호한다고 보고되었다. 이 연구는 두 가지 다른 심근온도(10∼12$^{\circ}C$, 22∼24$^{\circ}C$)하에서 심근 허혈이 120분을 초과할 때 HTK 용액의 심근보호 효과를 평가하고자 하였다. 대상 및 방법: 체중 300∼340 g의 Sprague-Dawley계 흰쥐의 심장을 적출 하여 Krebs-Henseleit용액으로 100 cm $H_2O$의 압력으로 관류시켰다. 안정화 후에 심박동수, 좌심실내압, 관 관류량을 측정하였다. 상행대동맥을 통하여 HTK 용액을 1회 주입 후 적출 심장을 각기 다른 4가지 방법으로 보존하였다. 제1군(n=10)은 10∼12$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 2시간, 제2군(n=10)은 22∼24$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 2시간, 제3군(n=10)은 10∼12$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 3시간, 제4군(n=10)은 22∼24$^{\circ}C$의 저온에서 3시간 보존하였다. 보존을 끝낸 후 적출 심장을 다시 관류 장치에 연결하여 재관류 후 15분, 30분, 45분에 각 각 심박동수, 좌심실내압, 관 관류량을 측정하였다. 미세구조 변화를 평가하기 위하여 심근을 생검하여 사립체 점수를 측정하였다. 결과: 심박동수는 제1군과 2군, 제1군과 3군의 비교에서 차이가 없었다. 제4군에서 재관류 후 15분에서 심박동수가 제1군에 비하여 유의하게 감소하였으나(p<0.05 by ANCOVA), 30분, 45분에서 심박동수는 회복되었고 제1군과 유의한 차이가 없었다. 좌심실내압은 제4군에서 재관류 후 15분, 30분, 45분에서 제1군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.001 by ANCOVA). 관 관류량은 제4군에서 재관류 후 15분, 30분, 45분에서 제1군에 비해 유의하게 감소하였다(p<0.001 by ANCOVA). 미세구조 변화의 평가에서 심근의 평균 사립체 점수는 제1군 1.02$\pm$0.29, 제2군 1.52$\pm$0.26, 제3군 1.56$\pm$0.45, 제4군 2.22$\pm$0.44였다. 걸론: HTK 용액은 2시간의 심근 허혈에 대하여 심근 온도에 관계없이 우수한 심근보호 효과를 나타내나, 허혈시간이 2시간을 초과하면 심근의 혈역학적 기능과 미세구조의 변화는 중등도의 저온(22∼24$^{\circ}C$)에서 유의하게 악화되었다. 이 같은 결과로 볼 때 심근 허혈시간이 2시간을 초과한다면 심근 온도를 낮추어야 할 것으로 판단된다.

It was my great nohour that I can be exposed to such plenty materials of the coronary bypass surgery. Here, I am summarizing the xoronary bypass surgery, clinically. The material is serial 101 patients who underwent coronary bypass surgery between July 17, 1979 to November 30, 1979 in Shadyside Hospital, University of Pittsburgh. 1. Incidence of the Atherosclerosis is frequent in white, male, fiftieth who are living in industrialized country. It has been told the etiologic factor of the atherosclerosis is hereditary, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, smoking, drinking, diabetes, obesity, stress, etc. 2. The main and most frequent complication of the coronary atherosclerosis is angina pectoris. Angina pectoris is the chief cause of coronary bypass surgery and the other causes of coronary bypass surgery are obstruction of the left main coronary artery, unstable angina, papillary muscle disruption or malfunction and ventricular aneurysm complicated by coronary artery disease. 3. The preoperative clinical laboratory examination shows abnormal elevation of plasma lipid in 82 patint, plasma glucose in 40 patient, total CPK-MB in 24 patient stotal LDH in 22 patient out of 101 patient. 4. Abnormal ECG findings in preoperative examine were 29.1% myocardial infarction, 25.8% ischemia and injury, 14.6T conduction defect. 5. Also we had done Echocardiography, Tread Mill Test, Myocardial Scanning, Vectorcardiography and Lung function test to get adjunctive benefit in prediction of prognosis and accurate diagnosis. 6. The frequency of coronary atherosclerosis in main coronary arteries were LAD, RCA and Circumflex in that order. 7. The patients' main complaints which were became as etiologic factor undergoing coronary bypass surgery were angina, dyspnea, diaphoresis, dizziness, nausea and etc. 8. For the coronary bypass surgery, we used cardiopulmonary bypass machine, non-blood, diluting prime, cold cardioplegic solution and moderate cooling for the myocardial protection. 9. We got the grafted veins from Saphenous and Cephalic vein. Reversed and anastomosed between aorta and distal coronary A. using 5-0 and 7-0 prolene continuous suture. Occasionally we used internal mammary A. as an arterial blood source and anastomosed to the distal coronary A. and to side fashion. 10. The average cardiopulmonary bypass time for every graft was 43.9 min. and aortic clamp time was 23 minute. We could Rt. coronary A. bypass surgery only by stand by the cardiopulmonary machine and in the state of pumping heart. 11. Rates by the noumbers of graft were as follow : 21.8% single, 33.7% double, 26.7% triple, 13.9% quadruple, 3% quintuple and 1% was sixtuple graft. 12. combined procedures with coronary bypass surgery were 6% aneurysmectomy, 3% AVR, 1% MVR, 13% pacer implantation and 1% intraaortic ballon setting. 13. We could see the complete abolition of anginal pain after operation in 68% of patient, improvement 25.8%, no change in 3.1%, and there was unknown in 3%. 14. There were 4% immediate postoperative deaths, 13.5% some kinds of heart complication, 51.3% lung complications 33.3% pleural complications as prognosis.

Purpose: Mitochondrial disease (MD) and Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) are often associated with cardiomyopathy, but the myocardial variability has not been isolated to a specific characteristic. We evaluated the left ventricular (LV) mass by echocardiography to identify the general distribution and functional changes of the myocardium in patients with MD or DMD. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated the echocardiographic data of 90 children with MD and 42 with DMD. Using two-dimensional echocardiography, including time-motion (M) mode and Doppler measurements, we estimated the LV mass, ratio of early to late mitral filling velocities (E/A), ratio of early mitral filling velocity to early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E/Ea), stroke volume, and cardiac output. A "z score" was generated using the lambda-mu-sigma method to standardize the LV mass with respect to body size. Results: The LV mass-for-height z scores were significantly below normal in children with MD ($-1.02{\pm}1.52$, P<0.001) or DMD ($-0.82{\pm}1.61$, P =0.002), as were the LV mass-for-lean body-mass z scores. The body mass index (BMI)-for-age z scores were far below normal and were directly proportional to the LV mass-for-height z scores in both patients with MD (R =0.377, P<0.001) and those with DMD (R =0.330, P=0.033). The LV mass-for-height z score correlated positively with the stroke volume index (R =0.462, P<0.001) and cardiac index (R =0.358, P<0.001). Conclusion: LV myocardial atrophy is present in patients with MD and those with DMD and may be closely associated with low BMI. The insufficient LV mass for body size might indicate deterioration of systolic function in these patients.

Studies of cardiopulmonary function and acid-base balance were performed on 29 dogs during control period, during oligemic hypotension and following return of blood to the animals. Intravenous morphine and local anesthesia were used. Fifteen of the 29 animals survived the complete experiment. The 14 animals that failed to survive the experimental period died between 15 to 90 minutes after the onset of bleeding. The results were as follows. 1. The heart rate increased after the onset of bleeding and failed to return to control level following reinfusion. Stroke volume decreased markedly after bleeding and failed to recover after return of blood from the reservoir. Cardiac output also decreased during oligemic hypotension and was maintained at this level after re-infusion. Total peripheral resistance decreased significantly immediately after bleeding, however it increased soon over the pre-bleeding level. Central venous pressure decreased after the onset of bleeding and remained at lower level for the rest of the experimental period. Arterial blood pressure, clown to 40-45 mmHg by acute hemorrhage, was elevated near to control level. Left ventricular work decreased tremendously during oligemic hypotension and failed to return to control level with the re-infusion of blood. Hematocrit value showed no significant decrease after bleeding and increased after re-infusion. Hemoglobin decreased after the onset of bleeding and recovered to control value after re-infusion. 2. The respiratory rate fell rapidly after bleeding from 124 to 29 and remained at this lower level for the remainder of the experiment. The tidal volume increased after bleeding and was maintained at this level for the remainder of the experiment. The respiratory minute volume showed no significant changes throughout the experimental period. Oxygen consumption fell lightly in all animals during oligemic hypotension and returned to normal levels following re-infusion. Arterial oxygen content and arterial oxygen saturation decreased following bleeding and the values returned to normal levels after the return of blood from the reservoir The arterio-venous oxygen difference increased after the onset of bleeding. It failed to return to normal values following re-infusion. Arterial $Pco_2$ decreased in all animals after the beginning of the bleeding. Partial pressure of $Co_2$ continued to fall until re-infusion, after which the values returned toward normal. Animals became acidotic. The pH fell to lower level following bleeding. Lactic acid and lactate: pyruvate ratio also increased during same period. Arterial pH and lactic acid failed to return to control value and lactate: pyruvate ratio increased more after re-infusion. Sodium bicarbonate decreased after bleeding and returned to control value following re-infusion.

Background: In elderly high-risk surgical patients, sutureless aortic valve replacement (AVR) should be an alternative to standard AVR. The potential advantages of sutureless aortic prostheses include reducing cross-clamping and cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) time and facilitating minimally invasive surgery and complex cardiac interventions, while maintaining satisfactory hemodynamic outcomes and low rates of paravalvular leakage. The current study reports our single-center experience regarding the early outcomes of sutureless aortic valve implantation. Methods: Between October 2012 and June 2015, 65 patients scheduled for surgical valve replacement with symptomatic aortic valve disease and New York Heart Association function of class II or higher were included to this study. Perceval S (Sorin Biomedica Cardio Srl, Sallugia, Italy) and Edwards Intuity (Edwards Lifesciences, Irvine, CA, USA) valves were used. Results: The mean age of the patients was $71.15{\pm}8.60years$. Forty-four patients (67.7%) were female. The average preoperative left ventricular ejection fraction was $56.9{\pm}9.93$. The CPB time was $96.51{\pm}41.27minutes$ and the cross-clamping time was $60.85{\pm}27.08minutes$. The intubation time was $8.95{\pm}4.19hours$, and the intensive care unit and hospital stays were $2.89{\pm}1.42days$ and $7.86{\pm}1.42days$, respectively. The mean quantity of drainage from chest tubes was $407.69{\pm}149.28mL$. The hospital mortality rate was 3.1%. A total of five patients (7.69%) died during follow-up. The mean follow-up time was $687.24{\pm}24.76days$. The one-year survival rate was over 90%. Conclusion: In the last few years, several models of valvular sutureless bioprostheses have been developed. The present study evaluating the single-center early outcomes of sutureless aortic valve implantation presents the results of an innovative surgical technique, finding that it resulted in appropriate hemodynamic conditions with acceptable ischemic time.

Polymorphonuclear leukocytes (PMNs) play an important role in myocardial ischemia/reperfusion (MI/R) injury. Moreover, platelets are also important blood cells that can aggravate myocardial ischemic injury. This study was designed to test the effects of PMNs and platelets separately and together in provoking cardiac dysfunction in isolated perfused rat hearts following ischemia and reperfusion. Additional control rat hearts were perfused with $75{\times}10^6$ PMNs, with $75{\times}10^6$ platelets, or with $75{\times}10^6\;PMNs+75{\times}10^6$ platelets over a five minute perfusion followed by a 75 min observation period. No significant reduction in coronary flow (CF), left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP), or the first derivative of LVDP (dP/dt max) was observed at the end of the observation period in any non-ischemic group. Similarly, global ischemia (I) for 20 min followed by 45 minutes of reperfusion (R) produced no sustained effects on the final recovery of any of these parameters in any group of hearts perfused in the absence of blood cells. However, I/R hearts perfused with either PMNs or platelets alone exhibited decreases in these variables of $5{\sim}10%$ (p＜0.05 from control). Furthermore, I/R hearts perfused with both PMNs and platelets exhibited decreases of 50 to 60% in all measurements of cardiac function (p＜0.01). These dual cell perfused I/R hearts also exhibited marked increases in cardiac myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity indicating a significant PMN infiltration, and enhanced P-selectin expression on the coronary microvascular endothelium. All cardiaodynamic effects as well as PMN accumulation and P-selectin expression were markedly attenuated by a recombinant soluble PSGL-1 which inhibits selectin mediated cell adhesion. These results provide evidence that platelets and PMNs act synergistically in provoking post-reperfusion cardiac dysfunction, and that this may be largely due to cell to cell interactions mediated by P-selectin. These results also demonstrate that a recombinant soluble PSGL-1 reduces myocardial reperfusion injury by platelet and PMNs interaction.

It has been demonstrated that majority of cells in the mammalian body such as myocytes and epithelial cells of skin and intestine respond to mechanical force or environmental factors and exhibit partial disruption of cell membrane, i. e., cell wounding, even in a physiological condition. Myocardial cells are rather apt to be wounded than other cells since they are definitely exposed to mechanical stress by contraction-relaxation and blood flow. However, the mechanism how myocardial cells protect themselves against cell wounding is not yet clarified. On this background, the present study was performed to elucidate whether albumin leakage is related to cell wounding and to assess whether diltiazem, a potent calcium channel blocker, is beneficial in isoproterenol-induced cell wounding in the heart. Hearts isolated from New Zealand White rabbits ($1.5\sim2.0kg$ body weight, n=20) were perfused with Tyrode solution by Langendorff technique. After stabilization of baseline hemodynamics, the hearts were subjected to bolus administration of isoproterenol and diltiazem as following order: $1.6{\mu}M$ isoproterenol at zero min (the beginning point): $16{\mu}M$ diltiazem at 20min; $1.6{\mu}M$ isoproterenol at 25min; $16{\mu}M$ isoproterenol at 45 min; $160{\mu}M$ diltiazem at 65 min; $16{\mu}M$ isoproterenol at 70 min. During all experiments, the left ventricular function was recorded, albumin leakage in the coronary effluents was analyzed by electrophoresis and Western blot, and myocardial cell membranes were examined by conventional transmission electron microscopy. Data were analyzed by t-test and linear regression test. Isoproterenol significantly increased the inotropic and chronotropic contractions, coronary flow, and frequency of arrhythmia, however, diltiazem did not influence on hemodynamics except decrease in the frequency of arrhythmia and a slight decrease in contractility. Isoproterenol also resulted partial disruption of myocardial cell membrane and inclose in albumin leakage, while diltiazem pretreatment showed number of electron-dense plaques in the cell membrane and a tendency of decrease in albumin leakage. These results indicate that albumin leakage may be an indirect index of cell wounding in the heart and diltiazem nay be beneficial to protect myocardial cells against isoproterenol-induced cell wounding. It is likely that diltiazem promotes resealing process of the cell membrane.
