Abstract:
:Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare form of congenital heart disease characterised by atrioventricular as well as ventriculoarterial discordance. The life expectancy of individuals with CCTGA is limited by the onset of the systemic ventricular failure. There have been only a few patients with CCTGA and age >50 years reported in literature. We describe a 72-year-old man with CCTGA who was admitted to the hospital because of severe congestive heart failure. Our patient s survival is one of the longest ever described.

杂志文章abstract:BACKGROUND:The lumen diameter (LD) of the extracranial carotid arteries determined by B-mode ultrasound has been provedto be associated with most atherosclerotic risk factors and cardiovascular events. This raises the question as to whether LDmay also predict coronary artery disease. AIM:To elucidate whether LD of the...
