CLINICAL AND ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTICS OF PATIENTS UNDERGOING HEART TRANSPLANTATION AT THE VIET DUC UNIVERSITY HOSPITAL DURING 2011-2020
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objective: To describe the clinical and echocardiographic characteristics of patients undergoing heart transplantation at the Viet Duc University Hospital in the period 2011-2020. Methods: A retrospective cross-sectional study design was employed to investigate 32 allogeneic heart transplant recipients. Results: Recipient characteristics: Male:Female = 3.5:1; 87.5% of recipients had dilated cardiomyopathy; 100% of recipients had stage III (84.4%) and stage IV (15.6%) heart failure; Donor paraclinical characteristics: Left atrial and right ventricular sizes were 27.91 ± 2.89 mm and 17.78 ± 2.55 mm, respectively; Pulmonary artery pressure was 26.41 ± 3.64 mmHg; left ventricular systolic function parameters: Fs: 35.03% ± 3.31%; EF: 64.91% ± 3.59%; Simpson: 62.19% ± 3.56%; 6.3% of donors had mitral regurgitation, 3.1% had a left ventricular septal motion abnormality. Conclusion: Identifying clinical and paraclinical indices in patients helps physicians select the donor-recipient pair before surgery, increasing the success rate of heart transplantation.
