[Three-dimensional vectorcardiography to predict CRT-responder].

Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an accepted treatment for congestive heart failure (NYHA III-IV), but a substantial number of patients show no response to therapy. LBB, QRS width and echocardiographic measurements are parameters for indication, but they are not valid to predict hemodynamic response. A new method based on vector ECG analysis can deliver additional information, such as: parts or areas with late excitation, and with slow or fast depolarization speed. Electrical excitation is a prerequisite for contraction; this leads to the hypothesis that areas with late electrical activation will contract later. Algorithms for analysis of the vector ECG (determination of the vector -- time, area and speed) may help to identify responders and non-responders.

[Experiences with PTCA at the Klagenfurt Regional Hospital].

From October 1986 to July 31th 1990 343 patients had coronary dilatations (PTCA) at the Landeskrankenhaus Klagenfurt. In total 380 stenoses in the coronary vessels were dilated. In 83% of stenoses "complete revascularization" was obtained. Success rate was 90%.

A chromosome supplement to the London Dysmorphology Database.

A supplement to the computerised database for the diagnosis of rare dysmorphic syndromes described by Winter et al is presented, which includes a list of syndromes occurring in patients with unbalanced chromosome aberrations. The extension of the original programme is based on Schinzel's Catalogue of unbalanced chromosome aberrations in man.

[Preoperative risk assessment in pediatric surgery].

The further development of the risk score presented by us in 1976 combined with Peter's score now permits a satisfactory preoperative risk estimation in pediatric surgery for all age groups. The score includes 18 lines for all significant preoperative parameters and the procedure planned. Each parameter is judged by a number of points according to its significance (1-4 points). An increasing number of points indicates an increasing operation risk. The evaluation of 533 cases using this core proved it to be a reliable preoperative risk estimation.

[Preoperative risk evaluation in juvenile ileus].

Preoperative risk calculation in children with bowel obstruction allows early therapeutic measures to improve prognosis. In a retrospective study the preoperative status was evaluated in 310 newborns and 127 children beyond the newborn period who had to be operated for bowel obstruction. Preoperative parameters were: age, birth weight (newborns), weight, body temperature, red and white blood count, electrolytes, urea-nitrogen, total serum protein, pH, PO2, PCO2 and base excess. These parameters were compared in surviving children and children who died postoperatively. In newborns a statistically significant difference between both groups was found for birth weight, rectal temperature, pH and total serum protein, whereas in children beyond the newborn age the same was true for age, weight and total serum protein. Besides well balanced electrolytes and good management of artificial respiration, total serum protein and in newborns additionally blood-pH and rectal temperature must be normalized preoperatively to reduce the risk in children with bowel obstruction.
