Aortic valve replacement

When the condition of the aortic valve is severe and the insufficiency is exposing the patient to heart failure, as well as the possibility of developing other, serious, life-threatening conditions, aortic valve replacement is the way to go.

Aortic valve repair

When aortic valvulopathy presents significant quality-of-life problems for the patient but also obvious risks of serious consequences, cardiac surgery may be necessary.

Application of Pace-Maker

Each pace-maker consists of two basic parts: a pulse generator and one or two electrodes that are run from the generator to the heart muscle.

Hashimoto’s thyroid

When the immune system launches an attack on the thyroid gland, the small gland located under the Adam's apple, which produces hormones that regulate so many functions of the human body.

THE PREDICTION OF OUTCOMES

Once circulation has been restored in the patient suffering from Cardiac Arrest, following hospital discharge, one must wait for subsequent outcomes by ensuring that, in addition to spontaneous circulatory restoration, no neurological damage occurs.

Survival data also depend on some favorable factors such as:

  • Rapid and effective cardiopulmonary resuscitation
  • Treatment performed n an emergency department with the possibility equipped with patient monitoring
  • Initial rhythm of ventricular fibrillation
  • Defibrillation performed for time of ventricular fibrillation or ventricular tachycardia
  • Post-arrest treatment, such as circulatory enhancement therapy and use of cardiac catheterization
  • In adults, maintaining a body temperature of 32 to 36°C over 24 hours, preventing the occurrence of hyperthermia
