Bilateral Pneumothorax Complicating Pacemaker Implantation, due to Puncture of the Left Subclavian Vein and Electrode Perforation of the Right Atrium

Line Lisbeth Olesen

Pneumothorax occurs mostly due to needle injury of the pleura when trying to get access to the subclavian vein and rarely due to electrode perforation. The present case report is the first case presented about acute simultaneous iatrogenic bilateral pneumothorax due to …

ICD-Electrode-Perforation of the Right Ventricle to the Pericardium with and without Pericardial Effusion

Line Lisbeth Olesen

Two cases are described of iatrogenic traumatic perforation of an ICD electrode through the myocardium in the right ventricle and to the pericardium. The diagnostic gold standard gated CT was not necessary in either case. In the first case the lead insertion …

Intestinal Necrosis Due to Digoxin Intoxication

Line Lisbeth Olesen

The knowledge about digoxin, the associated cardiac and extracardiac effects, its pharmacokinetics and dynamics, indications, dosing, and side effects is important with the objective of deriving its maximum benefit without the risk of intoxication. Although the dosing of digoxin has been standardized …

Age and Outcomes of Primary Prevention Implantable Cardioverter-Defibrillators in Patients With Nonischemic Systolic Heart Failure

Marie Bayer Elming, Jens Cosedis Nielsen, Jens Haarbo, Lars Videbæk et autres

Background: The DANISH study (Danish Study to Assess the Efficacy of ICDs [Implantable Cardioverter Defibrillators] in Patients With Non-Ischemic Systolic Heart Failure on Mortality) did not demonstrate an overall effect on all-cause mortality with ICD implantation. However, the prespecified subgroup analysis suggested …

Upregulation of Soluble HLA-G in Chronic Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction

Line Lisbeth Olesen, Thomas Vauvert F. Hviid

Left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) defined by ejection fraction (EF) <40% is common, serious but treatable, and correct diagnosis is the cornerstone of effective treatment. Biomarkers may help to diagnose LVSD and give insight into the pathophysiology. The immune system is activated …

ECG as a First Step in the Detection of Left Ventricular Systolic Dysfunction in the Elderly

Line Lisbeth Olesen, Andreas Andersen

AIMS: Due to the demographic development there is an increasing number of senior citizens with left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD), defined as ejection fraction (EF) < 40%. Unfortunately there are under-diagnosis and under-treatment in the elderly of this serious condition. Echocardiography is …

Hand-held echocardiography is useful for diagnosis of left systolic dysfunction in an elderly population.

Line Lisbeth Olesen, Andreas Andersen, Søren Thaulow

INTRODUCTION: Hand-held echocardiography (echo) (HE) was compared with standard echo (SE) to evaluate the quality of HE and to determine if it is safe to use HE to screen for left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVSD) in the elderly. METHODS: A total of …

[The Danish National Quality Project about heart failure indicates lack of reporting and treatment of the elderly].

Line Lisbeth Olesen

The Danish National Quality Project about heart failure has improved care for the patients considerably by insisting on evidence-based treatment in hospitals and heart failure clinics. Regrettably, according to data there is marked underrepresentation of patients 75-year-old and older, and especially a …
