Morphologic spectrum of truncal valvar origin relative to the ventricular septum: Correlation with the size of ventricular septal defect
Email this article to a colleague.

Discuss or comment on this article.
Conclusion: Origin of the truncal valve demonstrated a morphologic spectrum and correlated with the size of ventricular septal defect that was the main or even sole exit from the left ventricle in hearts with right ventricular origin. Truncal origin, therefore, requires recognition to optimize surgery. (Source: The Journal of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery)

CONCLUSION: Ambulatory monitoring is not regarded as an appropriate procedure for the screening of myocardial ischemia, due to the characteristics and technical limitations of the method, especially in populations with a low prevalence of coronary disease. In this cross-sectional and observational study, we concluded that the Holter recordings provided additional information which could not be obtained by conventional electrocardiogram.

Thanks to H1N1, Halloween came on November 15 for the Lord and Ladies of the Cyr household
My wife, Sara, and I are the proud parents of newly minted 4-year-old triplets, and this fall we just haven’t been able to get healthy in our house. We get over one illness and another one crops up a week later. Fevers come and go. Coughs are incessant. Headaches bloom and recede. It’s been never-ending.
So none of us was feeling particularly well on the Thursday before Halloween when Sara called me at work and told me she had spiked a fever. We weren’t sure it was H1N1, but working in the Public Affairs Department here at Ch...

Conclusion
Although this study demonstrated a link between higher alcohol intake and reduced CHD risk, it is has several limitations. Therefore, it cannot be assumed that high levels of alcohol consumption lower the risk of CHD. People are advised not to exceed the recommended daily limits of 2-3 units a day for women and 3-4 units a day for men.
Importantly, the study did not take into account any other adverse effects of alcohol, such as the increased risk of liver disease, obesity, pancreatic diseases, certain cancers, possible addiction, depression, accidental injury or reduced judgement in social situations.

Conclusions: Women were significantly less likely than men to have a diagnosis of structural heart disease (LV dysfunction or coronary artery disease) before SCA.

Enhancement of SCA risk stratification may have even higher importance for women. (Source: Journal of the American College of Cardiology)
