본 연구는 연소담배와 비교해 서로 다른 가열담배(heated tobacco products, HTPs) 사용 시 혈역학적 지표들의 급성 반응을 비교하고, 급성 HTPs 에어로졸 노출이 심장 자율신경조절(cardiac autonomic regulation, CAR)에 미치는 영향을 탐색하려는 목적으로 수행되었다. 또한, 서로 다른 연초 스틱 간 급성 심혈관 효과의 비교 검증을 목표로 하위연구를 설계했다. 외관상 건강한 남성 흡연자 16명은 개방표지, 무작위 교차시험으로, 최소 48시간 세척기간과 함께 비-흡연(non-smoking, NS), 담배 흡연 및 서로 다른 두 가지 HTPs 사용 세션을 각각 수행했다. 하위연구는 NS와 함께 서로 다른 두 가지 연초 스틱 간 급성 심혈관 효과를 비교하기 위해, 참여자 중 8명을 대상으로 실시되었다. 수축기와 확장기 혈압 및 CAR을 반영하는 심박변이도(heart rate variability, HRV)가 각 세션 시작 전, 제품 사용 중 그리고 사용 후 30분까지 평가되었다. NS 동안 혈역학적 변화는 통계적 차가 없었으나, HTPs 에어로졸에 급성 노출은 담배 연기와 상응하는 수축기와 확장기 혈압의 유의한 증가를 초래했으며, 이들 지표에서 HTPs 기기 간 통계적 차는 없었다. 연소담배와 HTPs 사용 후 통계적으로 유의한 심장 교감신경활동(cardiac sympathetic nerve activity, CSNA)의 급성 증가와 심장 미주신경 긴장도(cardiac vagal tone, CVT)의 급격한 저하가 나타났다. 사용 기기와 독립적으로 HTPs 사용에 따른 CSNA와 CVT 반응은 연소담배와 통계적 차가 없었다. 서로 다른 두 가지 연초 스틱은 NS와 비교해 혈역학적 지표들의 유의한 증가를 유도했으나, 연초 스틱 간 통계적 차는 없었다. CVT는 두 가지 연초 스틱 사용에 따라 유의하게 감소했으며, 연초 스틱의 종류에 따라 CVT 저하에 통계적 차가 있었다. 이상의 결과들은 HTPs 에어로졸 노출이 사용 기기와 독립적으로 연소담배와 동등한 급성 심혈관 효과를 유도할 수 있으며, 연초 스틱의 종류에 따라 급성 CAR 저하가 강화될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Purpose: This study aimed to investigate the risk factors for cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED)-related infections within the first post-procedural year after CIED insertion. Methods: This study included 509 adult patients undergoing CIED implantation procedures between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2015. The data were analyzed by t-test, chi-square test, Fisher's exact test, and logistic regression analysis using SPSS/WIN 23.0. Results: Fifteen infections and 494 non-infections were examined. The CIED-related infection rate was 2.9%; patients with 14 pocket infections and one bacteremia were included in the CIED-related infection. The risk factors of CIED-related infections were the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) of ≤ 45 mL/min/1.73 m² (Odds ratio [OR]= 4.03, 95% confidence interval [CI],1.15-14.10) and taking a new oral anticoagulant (NOAC) (OR = 4.50, 95% CI 1.09-18.55). Conclusion: These results identified the CIED infection rate and risk factors of CIED-related infection. It is necessary to consider these risk factors before the CIED implantation procedure and to establish the relevant nursing interventions.

좌심실보조장치(LVAD)가 심실부하감소에 미치는 영향을 극대화 하기 위해, 심실보조장치 치료를 위한 최적의 심부전 심각도 단계를 찾는 것은 중요하다. 우리는 심부전 정도에 따른 LVAD 의 박동효율을 이론적으로 예측하였다. 우리는 혈관시스템의 6 컴파트먼트의 Wind-kessel 모델과 연동된 심실의 삼차원 유한요소모델을 사용하였다. 이 모델을 이용하여, LVAD 치료 하에서 심부전의 정도에 따라 심실의 수축성 ATP 소모율, 좌심실압력, 심박출량, 심박출 분획, 1 회심박출량 등과 같은 심장응답을 예측하였다. LVAD 치료 중에 에너지학적 부하조건을 암시하는 수축성 ATP 소모율은 5 단계 심부전 조건에서 가장 크게 감소하였다. 따라서, 우리는 LVAD 를 회복으로의 가교로서 고려하고 있을 때, 심부전 5 단계에서 LVAD 치료를 시작하는 것이 가장 적절하다는 결론을 내린다.

Purpose : The purpose of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of using a digital sensor device during CPR by analyzing the results from that chest compressions with a digital sensor device are applied to cardiac arrest patients. Methods : This study analyzed the results from the experiment that 42 people were selected randomly among Korean 119 rescuers, and they divided into the experimental group using a digital sensor device and the control group only using their hands, then they had been observed to conduct chest-compressions to mannequins for 10 minutes. Results : The results were found that compression depth in both the control and experimental group was gradually decreased over time, but the experimental group not only kept the depth but also maintained the speed of chest-compressions close to 100 times a minute. In addition, due to the use of the digital sensor device, the insufficient recoil ratio of chest-compressions was significantly reduced. Conclusion : The results show that conducting chest-compressions with a digital sensor device keeps the compression-death, maintains the speed of chest-compression properly and makes the insufficient relaxation ratio of chest-compressions reduce significantly.

Although cardiac rehabilitation (CR) has been shown to improve exercise tolerance and prognosis in patients with cardiovascular diseases, there remains low participation in outpatient CR. This may be attributed to the patients' busy schedules and difficulty in visiting the hospital due to distance, cost, avoidance of exercise, and severity of coronary disease. To overcome these challenges, many countries are exploring the possibility of remote CR. Specifically, there is increasing attention on the development of remote CR devices, which allow transmission of vital information to the hospital via a remote CR application linked to a wearable device for telemonitoring by dedicated hospital staff. In addition, remote CR programs can support return to work after hospitalization. Previous studies have demonstrated the effects of remote CR on exercise tolerance. However, the preventive effects of remote CR on cardiac events and mortality remain controversial. Thus, safe and effective remote CR requires exercise risk stratification for each patient, telenursing by skilled staff, and multidisciplinary interventions. Therefore, quality assurance of telenursing and multi-disciplinary interventions will be essential for remote CR. Remote CR may become an important part of cardiac management in the future. However, issues such as cost-effectiveness and insurance coverage still persist.

BACKGROUND: Due to its location very close to the bundle of His, mitral annulus calcification (MAC) might be associated with the development of atrioventricular (AV) conduction disturbances. This study assessed the association between MAC and AV conduction disturbances identified by cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) use and electrocardiographic parameters. The association between MAC and traditional cardiovascular risk factors was also assessed. METHODS: This cross-sectional study analyzed 14,771 participants, predominantly men aged 60-75 years, from the population-based Danish Cardiovascular Screening trial. Traditional cardiovascular risk factors were obtained. Using cardiac non-contrast computed tomography imaging, MAC scores were measured using the Agatston method and divided into absent versus present and score categories. CIED implantation data were obtained from the Danish Pacemaker and Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillator Register. A 12-lead electrocardiogram was available for 2,107 participants. Associations between MAC scores and AV conduction disturbances were assessed using multivariate regression analyses. RESULTS: MAC was present in 22.4% of the study subjects. Participants with pacemakers for an AV conduction disturbance had significantly higher MAC scores (odds ratio [OR], 1.11; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.01-1.23) than participants without a CIED, whereas participants with a CIED for other reasons did not. Prolonged QRS-interval was significantly associated with the presence of MAC (OR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.04-2.04), whereas prolonged PQ-interval was not. Female sex and most traditional cardiovascular risk factors were significantly associated with high MAC scores. CONCLUSIONS: MAC was associated with AV conduction disturbances, which could improve our understanding of the development of AV conduction disturbances.

Background : Ventricular assist devices(VADs) are being used for patients in postcvardiotomy cardiogenic shock status bridge to cardiac transplant settings and in post-myocardial infarction cardiogenic shock. The VAD which was developed at the Deparment of medical engineering in Dankook University College of Medicine was a pneumatically driven device and can maintain pulsatile flow. The goal of this study is to develop animal experimental models using the VAD and to clarify the reliability and hemodynamic property adequacy of end organ perfusion durability and severity of thrombotic-hemolytic tendency of the device. Material and Method : The pneumatic VAD was applied to 8 adult female lambs, We examined some hemodynamic parameters such as arterial blood pressure pulmonary capillary wedge pressure(pcwp) pulmonary artery pressure(PAP) left atrial pressure hour urine output cardiac index VAD flow EKG to determine the reliability of the VAD and hemodynamic compatibility of the experimental animals within 24 hours of experiment. We also observed the end organ perfusion durability of the VAD and thrombotic-hemolytic property of the VAD after 24 hours of VAD insertion. Result: We could monitor all hemodynamic parameters including pcwp PAP cardiac index EKG, adn hour urine as true clinical settings. We observed that the reliability of the VAD was excellent and the hemodynamic property of the experimental animal and end organ perfusion were adequate within 24 hours of experiment. In four lambs surviving 24 hours after insertion the reliability of the VAD and end organ perfusion were excellent and no thrombotic-hemolytic tendency was noted. However after 15 days of experiment the diaphragm of the VAD was torn and it was recommende that the durability of the VAD should be extended. Conclusion : e conclude that the pneumatic VAD developed at Dankook University Biomedical Engineering has good hemodynamic property and low thromboembolic tendency and presents adequate end organ perfusion but we noted that the durability of the device should be expanded further. It will be possible to do more reliable experiment in the future according to the animal experimental method developed in this study especially with the heart failure models.
