Overall Mortality

A retrospective study on arrhythmias and conduction disturbances was conducted in 1986 in the Division of Pediatric Cardiology of Dr. Pirngadi Hospital, Medon. There were 106 (35.33%) cases with arrhythmias and conduction disturbances out of 300 patients studied. The most common type of arrhytmia among the patients under 5 was intraventricular conduction defects, whilst in the age group of 5-10 were sinus tachycardia and intraventricular conduction defects, and in the age group of 10-15 was first degree A-V block.Rheumatic heart diseases and VSD were the most common cardiac diseases associated with arrhythmias, where the frequency were 18.86% and 10.37%, respectively. Arrhythmias associated with several extracardiac diseases were found in 60 (56.61%). Two out of 7 cases who was rreated with antia"hythmic agents died with SVT associated with bronchopneumonia, and atria/fibrillation associated with gastroenteritis, dehydration and malnutrition. Treatment against the main diseases (without antiarrhythmic agents) was done in the remainders. Even though the overall mortality rate was 13.20%, it was not due to arrhythmia itself but most of them died of non-arrhythmic origin.

Prevalence, structure and clinical significance of conduction disturbances was studied according to the electrocardiography findings in 1189 older pilots in aged 55 years and older, who were to the Central Civil Aviation Hospital (Moscow) and examined on the regular bases. Resting electrocardiogram was recorded in all subjects according to generally accepted methods. Heart conduction disorders were detected in 16,9% of pilots of the older age group. More common were intraventricular conduction disturbances - 13,7% of cases, atrioventricular conduction disturbances were recorded less often- 1,8% of cases, and their combination was even less common - 0,6% of cases. Cardiac conduction abnormalities as part of another electrocardiogram syndromes were noted in 10 (0,8%) peoples. Older civil aviation pilots are characterized a lower frequency of electrocardiogram changes compared to a general population of the same age in the Russian Federation. The signs of cardiac conduction disturbances on the electrocardiogram in civil aviation pilots did not always lead to unfitness to fly. The evaluation of fitness to flight in some electrocardiogram deviations is depend of the presence or absence of cardiovascular disease, functional condition of the cardiovascular system and the data of additional examination methods. Diagnosis of heart rhythm and conduction disorders is important in assessing the state of the circulatory system, especially in flight personnel. Timely detection of cardiac conduction disorders in civil aviation pilots is essential for maintaining medical safety, especially in older people. Electrocardiography is performed as an initial method for assessing the state of the conducting heart system in civil aviation pilots.

To identify the prevalence of early pathology of cardiovascular diseases, a survey of 400 200 girls) in the age group 15 and 17 years old was conducted as a part of routine medical of the level of blood pressure (BP) was carried out, with the calculation of the average level pressure on the basis of three separate measurements estimated by percentile tables for a registration of a standard resting ECG in 12 leads. According to the results of the survey, into 3 groups: with an increase in blood pressure above 95 ‰ (group 1 – 16 people), which recorded in males (p<0,05); Group 2 (67 people) – adolescents with a normal blood pressure level and group 3 of adolescents with a decrease in blood pressure below 5 ‰ changes in the form of rhythm and conduction disturbances were noted in almost every a predominance of sinus tachycardia in the first group. In the third group of adolescents, form of ectopic rhythm and pacemaker migration were significantly more frequently only 78 % of adolescents were referred for consultation and in-depth examination by a pediatric cardiologist.

Many books on rheumatic fever, congenital heart disease, laboratory diagnosis of heart diseases, and lengthy sections on cardiologic subjects in pediatric textbooks have been written but until now there is no comprehensive textbook in the field of pediatric cardiology. It is fortunate that the first book to appear to fill this real need is an excellent one. Dr. Nadas, of the Children's Medical Center in Boston and Harvard Medical School, is a recognized authority in the field of cardiology and has contributed much to its recent rapid development.

Overall Mortality

With the objective to evaluate the behavior of paracoccidioidomycosis in the last three decades, clinical and epidemiological data of 595 patients admitted to clinical services of the Federal University of Mato Grosso do Sul from 1980 to 2009 were investigated. Gender, age distribution, clinical form, comorbidity with tuberculosis or AIDS, and mortality were compared by decades of clinical admission. It was shown that during the three decades there was a decrease in women percentage, and the same manner occurred a reduction in participants in the age group of 20 to 39 years. Moreover, the acute/subacute forms have been diminished in the period. These fluctuations are closely related and can be simultaneously analyzed. Increased AIDS co-infection prevalence from the first to the second decade was also revealed, coinciding with the appearance of the retroviral epidemic and stabilizing during the third decade. No change in the tuberculosis co-infection rate was observed (overall = 6.9%). It reinforces the importance of this co-morbidity. The overall mortality rate remained steady at 6.7%, not varying significantly from one decade to another. The persistent mortality rate calls attention to the importance of this neglected disease.

Objectives:To determine different risk factors associated with ischemic heart diseases in different age group patients of tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar.Methodology:A cross sectional study conducted on 350 patients of different age groups presented with ischemic heart diseases in tertiary care hospitals of Peshawar. Study was conducted for duration of 3 months from December 2013 to February 2014. Non probability convenient sampling technique was used. Sample size was calculated using standard sample size calculator. Semi structured questionnaire was used as data collection tool. Patient’s record and investigations were used as adding tools. Standard definition was made for ischemic heart disease. Different modifiable and non-modifiable factors were assessed and were analyzed using SPSS version 16.Results:This study contains 350 patients in which female patients were 133(38%) and male were 217(62%).The mean age was 57.23±11.36 years. The age of the patients ranges from 22 to 80 years. The frequencies of risk factors were stress (73.1%) followed by hypertension (65.7%), sedentary life style (59.4%), family history (57.1%), smoking (50.6%), over weight and obese (39.1%), below normal HDL (30.3%), high LDL (29.1%), hypertriglyceridemia (28%), hypercholesterolemia (23.7%). 64.3% patients were presenting with acute IHD and 35.7% were with chronic IHD. Stress, HTN, DM and sedentary life style were found to be significantly associated with male gender (p- value <0.05). Age was divided into two groups, <45 years and >45 years. Stress, HTN, DM and hypercholesterolemia had a significant association with >45 years of age group. (P-value <0.05).Conclusion:Stress, HTN, DM, sedentary life styles were the major risk factors. And they were found to be more in male gender and in equal to more than 45 years of age group.
