Seyed Hasan Golboie, Malihe Zanguoie, Shiva Salehi, Navid Rabiee, Forod Salehi,
Volume 7, Issue 1 (3-2019)
Abstract
  • Introduction: Congenital heart disease (CHD) occurs in about 8 cases per 1,000 live births and is responsible for 30% of all neonatal deaths. The reportedly high prevalence of CHD underscores the necessity of the implementation of local evaluations and screening programs in order to plan for appropriate interventions. Regarding this, the present study was performed to determine the prevalence of CHD and its associated risk factors among the newborns with respiratory distress and cyanosis admitted to Vali-e-Asr Hospital in Birjand, Iran, in 2016.
  • Methods: This cross-sectional analytical study was conducted on the records of 199 neonates admitted to the Neonatal Unit of Vali-e-Asr Hospital due to respiratory distress and cyanosis in 2016. The data were collected using a predesigned form covering such information as gender, type of delivery, and gestational diabetes. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software (version 22) using the Chi-squared test. P-value less than 5% was considered statistically significant.
  • Results: Out of the 199 neonates enrolled in this study, 168 (84.4%) cases suffered from CHD. Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was the most common anomaly among the neonates (n=85, 50.5%), followed by atrial septal defect (n=41, 24.4%), ventricular septal defect (n=36, 21.4%), transposition of great arteries (n=4, 2.2%), and other complex heart anomalies (e.g., shone complex; n=2, 1.1%), respectively. The results revealed that the presence of CHD, especially PDA, in neonates was associated with their parental interfamily marriage (P=0.024).
  • Conclusions: The high prevalence and mortality of CHD necessitate the control of premarital and preconception potential risk factors (e.g., inter-family marriage) and preparation for the implementation of effective interventions for neonates with respiratory distress and cyanosis.

Hamid Hoseinikhah, Freshteh Ghaderi, Mohamadreza Akbari, Kayhan Mizani, Mahsa Moalemi, Aliasghar Moeinipour,
Volume 7, Issue 1 (3-2019)
Abstract
  • The case in this study was a 33-year-old woman suffering from acute pericardial tamponade with severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF=10%) after myocarditis as a result of possible viral respiratory infection.
  • The diagnosis was confirmed with two transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) evaluation showing moderate pericardial effusion with diastolic right atrium and ventricle collapse. The hemodynamic and respiratory condition of the patient was unstable and emergent. The drainage of pericardial space was life-saving with good results.

Abstract
Introduction: Although various factors have been recognized influencing the short-term and long-term survival of patients suffering from a heart attack, there are some other factors that have not been determined as prognostic factors affecting the survival of patients. One of these factors is the history of opioid use among patients. This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the survival of patients suffering from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and the use of opioids.
Methods: This prospective cohort study was carried out on 222 patients suffering from AMI admitted to two teaching hospitals. The patients who passed away in the emergency department were excluded from this study. All patients were divided into two consumers or non-consumers groups according to the past and present use of opioids. The patients' status was investigated within 3 months of hospitalization while their clinical symptoms were recorded. The collected data were analyzed in SPSS software (Version 18) using the Mann–Whitney U test and independent t-test. A p-value of < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The mean age scores of subjects in the case and control groups were 61.3±13.2 and 61.5±12.6, respectively. Both groups had the same history of diabetes, hyperlipidemia, hypertension, and ischemic heart disease. Based on the results, although the mean score of survival of patients in the opioid user group was slightly higher than that in the control group within 1, 2, and 3 months after the hospitalization, this difference was not significant (P>0.05).
Conclusions: Opioid use has not any significant effect on the pain severity or mortality (survival) of patients after heart attack during 1, 2, or 3 months.

Persistent Ventricular Dysrhythmia Follow in General Anesthesia for Tonsillectomy
Mahmood Hosseinzadeh Maleki, Mohsen Yaghoobi, Feisal Rahimpour,
Volume 9, Issue 3 (9-2021)
Abstract
  • Arrhythmia is one of the most common cardiovascular complications during anesthesia. Its occurrence has been reported in 70% of patients undergoing general anesthesia for various surgical procedures. Premature ventricular complex usually follows a benign course and shows a good response to medical therapy. In this study, a case was reported that did not respond to the usual treatment of ventricular tachycardia and frequent premature ventricular complex.

The Relationship Between the Coexistence of Coronary Artery Disease and Peripheral Arterial Disease in High Cardiovascular Risk Patients in An Angiographic Study, A Neglected Crucial Link
Reza Ghasemi, Mahmood Hosseinzadeh Maleki, Saeideh Imani Moghaddam, Fatemeh Ramezani, Hamid Hoseinikhah, Mohsen Yaghubi,
Volume 10, Issue 4 (12-2022)
Abstract
  • Introduction: Peripheral arterial disease in coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with poor cardiovascular outcomes. This issue is more highlighted in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft surgery after catheterization procedures.
  • Methods: This study was observational on participants who recourse to the heart clinics and candidates for coronary angiography, based on inclusion and exclusion criteria. In the first, coronary angiography was performed, and so, if the patients had significant involvement of coronary arteries and had at least one inclusion criteria, for assessment of peripheral arterial disease (PAD), peripheral angiography through the femoral artery was performed. The statistical analysis was done by SPSS software (Version 16) and the data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics method, variance analysis, and Fisher's Exact Test. The level of significance was considered to be (0.05).
  • Results: Among all patients, there was no significant difference in the demographic variables such as gender (P= 0.497) and age (P= 0.069). The commonest peripheral artery involved in patients was the right femoral artery. A statistically significant relationship between gender and PAD was seen (P=0.001). There was no significant relationship between the type of involved coronary artery and gender (p=0.043; Fisher's Exact Test = 10.719).
  • Conclusion: More than one-third of participants with CAD had peripheral arterial involvement in iliofemoral arteries in this study. This situation increased the risk of complications in vascular blind catheterization. So, Improving PAD detection is crucial for more effective cardiovascular prevention and treatment.

Samaneh Kouzegaran, Homa Mozaffar Tizabi, Amir Sabertanha, Forod Salehi,
Volume 10, Issue 4 (12-2022)
Abstract
  • Introduction: Congenital heart defects (CHDs) are diagnosed in ≈8 to 10 per 1,000 live births in the United States. This study aimed to determine the outcomes in children with congenital heart disease.
  • Methods: This cross-sectional descriptive-analytical study was conducted using the census method on all patients with a CHD who referred to the pediatric heart clinic in Valiasr Hospital, Birjand, Iran, and underwent heart operation during the desired period. The information contained in the patients' files was used to collect the required data. The rest of the information was gathered by calling the patients' parents. The collected data were analyzed in the SPSS-19 software using the Chi-square test and Fisher's exact test. The significant level was considered at the p-value of ≤ 0.05.
  • Results: The results of the statistical analysis indicated that the type of intervention (i.e., operation, intrusion) had no statistically significant relationship with demographic indicators of gender, age by month, chromosomal abnormalities, the type of heart disease, and the development of children under-study; however, it showed a statistically significant relationship with the type of initial complaint. The rate of operation was significantly higher in the subjects, especially in those who had an initial complaint of murmurs. Based on the results, the age of children had a statistically significant relationship with the need for pacemakers and the amount of pleural effusion; these two outcomes increased significantly with the child's aging.
  • Conclusion: A large number of demographic and clinical factors were effective in children's postoperative outcomes. Consequently, by conducting further studies at a wider level and controlling variables it is possible to compare the findings, achieve more favorable results, and improve clinical indicators.
