Purpose : Diagnosis of a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus(PDA) that should
be treated is difficult to determine by clinical and echocardiographic examinations. The aim of this
study was to clarify the interrelationship of plasma atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP) concentrations
and clinical signs or echocardiographic signs of PDA in preterm infants and use plasma ANP
concentrations as a diagnostic indicator of a hemodynamically significant PDA.

Purpose : The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical efficiency of cardiac troponin T (cTnT) in detecting myocardial damage in neonatal asphyxia and to compare the diagnostic value of cTnT with creatine kinase MB(CK-MB).
Methods : Sixty-three neonates were enrolled in this study, consisting of 27 asphyxiated infants (asphyxiated group; 1-min or 5-min Apgar score≤6) and 36 healthy... |

Although hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is uncommon in infant and children, we have experienced a case of dexamethasone induced hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in preterm baby who had bronchopulmonary dysplasia. This patient had hyaline membrane disease. Therefore, he received prolonged mechanical ventilation that resulted in bronchopulmonary dysplasia. After we carried out dexamethasone therapy for 7 days, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy appeared in his echocardiographic finding. We... |

Purpose : Despite preventive measures, measles outbreaks ocurred in 1989, 1990 and
1994 in Korea. Especially, the proportion of immunized school aged children and adolescents was increased, and the reason was, in our opinion, primary and secondary vaccine failure after measles immunization. In this context, we attempted to evaluate the changes of measles specific IgG levels in various age groups of... |
