Clin Exp Pediatr. 2005;48(12):1378-1384.   Published online December 15, 2005
Purpose : We hypothesized dexrazoxane(DXR) and pentoxifylline(PTX) may prevent myocardial damage in adriamycin(ADR)-induced cardiomyopathic rat model. We also investigated their effects on the myocardial apoptosis and fibrosis in ADR induced cardiomyopathy. Methods : The six-week old female Spregue-Dawley rats were divided into control group(CNT, n= 4), ADR group(n=6), ADR+DXR group(DXR, n=5), ADR+PTX group(PTX, n=6), ADR+DXR+PTX group(DXPT, n=5). ADR(5 mg/week, twice) was...

Purpose : The prognosis of patients with corrected transposition of the great arteries(C-TGA) is variably affected by associated intracardiac defects, systemic right ventricular function, tricuspid valve competence, and conduction disturbances. This study aims to evaluate the importance of those factors at mid-term follow-up. Methods : Medical records of 94 patients(males 58, females 36; mean age at last follow-up, 12? years; mean...
Autonomic Activity, Cardiac Chaos and Circadian Rhythm in Asymptomatic Children with Postoperative Tetralogy of Fallot

Clin Exp Pediatr. 1998;41(11):1517-1529.   Published online November 15, 1998
Purpose : This study aimed to characterize the autonomic and chaotic control of heart rate and circadian rhythm in asymptomatic patients with postoperative tetralogy of Fallot(pTOF). Methods : Twenty-four-hour electrocardiogram recordings were obtained in 30 asymptomatic pTOF patients and in 30 age-and sex-matched controls, aged between 6 and 11 years. The data was digitized and partitioned into sections of 30-...
