13. Acute myocardial infarction: predictors of mortality at a public hospital in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará state
OBJECTIVE: To identify the clinical and demographic predictors of in-hospital mortality in acute myocardial infarction with elevation of the ST segment in a public hospital, in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará state, Brazil. METHODS: A retrospective study of 373 patients experiencing their first episode of acute myocardial infarction was carried out. Of the stu

14. Resultados hemodinamicos e eletrofisiologicos da correção cirurgica do aneurisma pos-infarto do ventriculo esquerdo
Left ventricular aneurysm is one of the most frequent and most serious complications following acute myocardial infarction. When present it reduces long term survival and affects quality of life with symptoms related to angina, heart failure and arrythmias. Surgery has been a therapeutical option for the more severe cases of left ventricular aneurysm since t

15. A method of intraoperative right ventricular assistance following the Fontan procedure for tricuspid atresia
A method of temporary intraoperative right ventricular assistance following the Fontan procedure is described in this case report. The multiple etiologic factors and avenues of treatment for postoperative right ventricular failure are discussed.

16. Delay between the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and seeking medical assistance is influenced by left ventricular function at presentation.
OBJECTIVE--To determine whether the interval between the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction and the patient's call for medical assistance (patient delay) is related to left ventricular function at the time of presentation. DESIGN--Prospective observational study. SETTING--Coronary care unit of Aberdeen Royal Infirmary. PATIENTS--93 consecutive

17. Permanent Left Ventricular Assistance for Outpatients through Surgical Implantation of a Modified Intra-aortic Balloon Pump
There is a large population of patients in end-stage congestive heart failure who cannot be treated by means of conventional cardiac surgery, cardiac transplantation, or chronic catecholamine infusions. In 2 such patients, we provided permanent left ventricular assistance on an outpatient basis by surgically implanting a modified intra-aortic balloon pump. A

18. Scoring technique for diagnosis of ventricular hypertrophy from three orthogonal lead electrocardiogram.
A prospective study for the development of scoring techniques for the diagnosis of ventricular hypertrophy from the three orthogonal lead electrocardiogram was undertaken. A total of 51 hearts was examined at necropsy in a training group on which the scoring techniques were developed and a test group of a further 82 hearts was studied to assess the sensitivi

19. Surgical repair of ventricular aneurysms. Early results with Cooley's technique.
Using bovine pericardium instead of Dacron for grafting, we performed ventricular endoaneurysmorrhaphy (Cooley's technique) in 13 patients with postmyocardial infarction left ventricular aneurysm. Twelve patients were men and 1 was a woman; their ages ranged from 38 to 67 years (mean, 51.2 +/- 11.4 years). Eight patients had large anterolateral aneurysms, 4

20. Implantable left ventricular assist devices: an evolving long-term cardiac replacement therapy.
OBJECTIVE: The authors' 8-year experience with both inpatient and outpatient left ventricular assist device (LVAD) support is presented to show the possibilities and limitations of long-term outpatient mechanical circulatory assistance. SUMMARY BACKGROUND DATA: The limitation of suitable cardiac donors has led to the use of LVADs as a temporizing measure for

21. Acute severe cardiac failure complicating myocardial infarction. Experience with 100 patients referred for consideration of mechanical left ventricular assistance.
One hundred patients were referred with suspected acute cardiac failure following acute myocardial infarction. The diagnosis was confirmed in 72: 31 of these patients underwent elective medical treatment, with 2 survivors (6%); 41 were accepted for counter pulsation, but 9 died before this could be initiated and another 2 died shortly after vain attempts to

22. Mechanical Circulatory Assist Devices
Cardiogenic shock occurs in about 10% of the 1.5 million patients who suffer myocardial infarction and in approximately 1% of the 200,000 patients who undergo open-heart surgery each year. The ventricular assist device decreases the workload of the failing ventricles and increases the blood flow through the coronary system. Recovery of failing myocardium aft
