Outcome of patients with severe aortic stenosis – A retrospective follow-up studyAhlén, Caroline January 2008 (has links)
<p>Aortic stenosis is the most common valvular disease in the adult population. A significant aortic stenosis is a serious condition, and if a symptomatic patient is not operated on, it may in most cases cause death. We have examined how many aortic stenoses that were diagnosed during one year, and a follow-up of the patients was also performed. We found 77 patients with significant aortic stenosis with a mean age of 76±13 years. At the time of follow-up 30 (39%) patients, aged between 29-85 years, had been surgically treated with implantation of a valve prosthesis within 2-23 months after the initial examination. At this initial examination 14 of the 30 patients who later underwent surgery had no symptoms. A coronary bypass operation was also performed on seven patients. Postoperative complications were observed in six patients, but none of them was fatal. At the initial examinations there were 26 (34%) patients with a significant aortic stenosis and symptoms who were not treated surgically. The main reason why these patients were not operated was high age, unwillingness, or severe left ventricular dysfunction. This study indicates the importance of repeated clinical and echocardiograpic examinations in patients with aortic stenosis. Almost half of the patients, that later underwent surgery, had no symptoms at the initial examination, but later developed symptoms which made surgery necessary. In one third of the patients no surgery was performed in spite of clinical symptoms.</p>

Evaluation of functional cardiac murmur with echocardiography– a systemic quality workFredriksson, Ida January 2024 (has links)
Background: Valvular heart disease (VHS) can be lethal. An auscultated murmur could be a first indication of VHS. Lately auscultation has been evaluated as non-accurate, while a murmur also can be normal/functional. The next step of verifying VHS, is a transthoracic echocardiography (TTE). The echocardiography clinic at Uppsala University Hospital has seen a lot of non-pathological referrals regarding murmur evaluation. Therefore, a fast-track screening TTE, performed by a biomedical scientist was of interest. Aim: The aim was to evaluate pathological possibility, regarding remitted patients with a new heart murmur. Material: The clinical quality work was based on remitted patients of ages 18 to 50. Sampling took place between November 2022 and Mars 2024, by Radiology Information System. Method: Type of murmur, outcomes and referring clinic was documented. Normal outcome group consisted of: absent VHS and mild VHS. Pathological outcome group consisted of: moderate and severe VHS. Probability was calculated based on systolic- and non-specified murmur. Result: Normal outcome group had 116 referrals and pathological outcome group had three referrals. Possibility of a pathological outcome became 2,5 %. Majority of the referrals came from the primary care (92 %). Conclusion: A systolic- and non-specified murmur had low possibility of a pathological outcome, which could indicate that a shorter screening TTE by a biomedical scientist is an option. A limitation was that the type of the remitted murmur could not be trusted. Majority of the referrals came from the primary care, which indicates that further clinical work at these facilities is necessary.

Étude de cohorte rétrospective analytique et descriptive des résultats échocardiographiques et cliniques de la chirurgie valvulaire tricuspidienneMarquis Gravel, Guillaume 10 1900 (has links)
Résumé - Les données concernant la prise en charge chirurgicale de la maladie tricuspidienne reposent sur des études de cohortes à petite échelle et peu d’entre elles se sont intéressées aux résultats échocardiographiques et aux facteurs de risque de mortalité et de morbidité.
Une étude de cohorte rétrospective descriptive et analytique fut effectuée pour analyser l’expérience de l’Institut de Cardiologie de Montréal concernant la chirurgie de la VT. Les données ont été récoltées à l’aide des dossiers médicaux.
Durant la période 1977-2008, 792 PVT et 134 RVT furent effectués (âge médian : 62 ans). La mortalité opératoire était de 13,8%. Les taux de survie actuarielle à 5, à 10 et à 15 ans étaient respectivement de 67±2%, de 47±2% et de 29±2%. Au dernier suivi, de l’IT ≥3/4 était présente chez 31% des patients du groupe PVT et chez 12% des patients du groupe RVT (p<0,001). La classe fonctionnelle NYHA s’est améliorée significativement au dernier suivi par rapport à la période pré-opératoire (p<0,001). L’analyse de propension montre que par rapport à une PVT, un RVT est associé significativement à des taux de mortalité opératoire et tardive accrus, mais à moins d’IT ≥2/4 ou ≥3/4 lors du suivi.
Cette étude montre que malgré le risque chirurgical substantiel associé à la chirurgie de la VT, les patients bénéficient d’une amélioration fonctionnelle significative. Les facteurs de risque de mortalité et de morbidité sont décrits et des études de sous-groupes sur la chirurgie tri-valvulaire et la chirurgie isolée de la VT sont exposées. / Abstract - Data regarding surgical management of tricuspid valve disease are based on small cohort studies, and only few of them report echocardiographic results or risk factors for mortality and morbidity.
A retrospective descriptive and analytic cohort study was performed in order to analyze the Montreal Heart Institute experience regarding tricuspid valve surgery. Data was extracted from the medical files of patients.
During the 1977-2008 period, 792 tricuspid valve repairs and 134 tricuspid valve replacements were performed (median age of patients: 62 years). Operative mortality was 13.8%. Actuarial survival rates at 5, 10, and 15 years were 67±2%, 47±2%, and 29±2%, respectively. At last follow-up, 31% of patients who underwent repair and 12% of patients who underwent replacement had tricuspid regurgitation ≥3/4 (p<0,001). NYHA functional class improved significantly at last follow-up compared to baseline (p<0,001). Propensity score analysis showed that a replacement was associated with increased operative and late mortality rates compared to repair, but with less tricuspid regurgitation ≥2/4 or ≥3/4 at follow-up.
The study shows that despite substantial mortality rates, patients experience a significant functional improvement following tricuspid valve surgery. Risk factors for mortality and morbidity are described, and sub-group analyses for triple valve surgery and for isolated tricuspid valve surgery are exposed.
