[Risk factors and pathogenesis of postoperative cardiac decompensation (author's transl)]. 1975

E Vormittag

In 214 patients with healed myocardial infarction an assessment was made of the prognostic value of risk factors relating to early postoperative cardiac decompensation which occurred in 50 cases. A significant influence was shown by age (greater than or equal to 75 years), pre-existing heart failure and load insufficiency, hypertension (greater than or equal to 180/95 mm Hg), advanced arteriosclerosis with cerebrovascular and renovascular symptoms, infections with fever or septicemia, emergency operations, lang-lasting surgery, decrease in blood pressure during operations (greater than or equal to 70 mm Hg systolic) and postoperative anemia (less than or equal to 3.5 millions erythrocytes/cmm). The postoperative cardiac failure took a lethal course in 60%. Pathogenetically, the discrepancy between O2-requirement and O2-supply in the previously damaged myocardium is of essential importance during the postoperative stress period.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D006973 Hypertension Persistently high systemic arterial BLOOD PRESSURE. Based on multiple readings (BLOOD PRESSURE DETERMINATION), hypertension is currently defined as when SYSTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently greater than 140 mm Hg or when DIASTOLIC PRESSURE is consistently 90 mm Hg or more.

D008297 Male Males
D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D009203 Myocardial Infarction NECROSIS of the MYOCARDIUM caused by an obstruction of the blood supply to the heart (CORONARY CIRCULATION).

D010101 Oxygen Consumption The rate at which oxygen is used by a tissue; microliters of oxygen STPD used per milligram of tissue per hour; the rate at which oxygen enters the blood from alveolar gas, equal in the steady state to the consumption of oxygen by tissue metabolism throughout the body.

D011183 Postoperative Complications Pathologic processes that affect patients after a surgical procedure. They may or may not be related to the disease for which the surgery was done, and they may or may not be direct results of the surgery. Complication, Postoperative,Complications, Postoperative,Postoperative Complication
D011300 Preoperative Care Care given during the period prior to undergoing surgery when psychological and physical preparations are made according to the special needs of the individual patient. This period spans the time between admission to the hospital to the time the surgery begins.

D011379 Prognosis A prediction of the probable outcome of a disease based on a individual's condition and the usual course of the disease as seen in similar situations. Prognostic Factor,Prognostic Factors,Factor, Prognostic,Factors, Prognostic,Prognoses
D005260 Female Females
D006333 Heart Failure A heterogeneous condition in which the heart is unable to pump out sufficient blood to meet the metabolic need of the body. Heart failure can be caused by structural defects, functional abnormalities (VENTRICULAR DYSFUNCTION), or a sudden overload beyond its capacity. Chronic heart failure is more common than acute heart failure which results from sudden insult to cardiac function, such as MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.
