Does risk factors and outcomes of post-procedure heart block after transcatheter device closure of perimembranous ventricular septal defect?
The outcome of PPHBs after transcatheter closure of pmVSD was satisfactory, as most patients recovered to normal conduction. Measurements of DLRD-SLTV, DAVD, and DDOV may be useful in predicting the incidence of PPHBs.
Both CKD and anemia are frequent among older patients with heart failure and are predictors of adverse outcomes, independent of other known risk factors for heart failure.
