Frank Antonová, Petra ; Rohn, Vilém (advisor) ; Linhartová, Kateřina (referee) ; Pudil, Radek (referee)
Function of systemic right ventricle after atrial correction of transposition of great arteries - longitudinal follow-up and impact on exercise capacity Abstract Maximal oxygen uptake during cardiopulmonary exercise test determines decision about pregnancy, therapeutic measures and timing of surgery and heart transplantation. Atrial correction of transposition of great arteries places right ventricle in the systemic positon. The aim of our work was to assess relation of parameters of function of systemic right ventricle to maximal oxygen uptake. 86 patients after Senning correction were subjected to testing of NYHA class, blood tests of NT-proBNP, Holter monitoring and cardiopulmonary exercise test. Systolic function of right ventricle was assessed semiquantitatively by echocardiography and precisely calculated by heart MRI. Maximal oxygen uptake was not associated with NYHA, NT-proBNP nor systolic function of systemic right and subpulmonary left ventricles. The only parameter associated with VO2max was heart rate reserve. Systolic function of the systemic right ventricle is likely only one integral part of a more complex haemodynamic mechanism of total heart output and its increase during exercise. In the second part of our study we aimed to ascertain long term mortality of all patients after atrial...
Patogenesis of aortic stenosis. Posibillity of medical treatment
Štěrbáková, Gabriela ; Linhartová, Kateřina (advisor) ; Rosolová, Hana (referee) ; Staněk, Vladimír (referee) ; Hricák, Vasiľ (referee)
Background: Calcific aortic stenosis is the most frequent and most frequently operated valvular diasease. Currently, there is no known medical treatment to slow the progression of the disease. The aim of our study was first, to assess predictors of the progression of the aortic valve calcification, and second, to assess the association of the progression of aortic stenosis with the bisphosphonate treatment. Methods: Part I - prospective follow-up of consecutive patients with coronary artery disease associated with aortic stenosis (mean transvalvular aortic gradient of 30 mmHg or greater), aortic sclerosis or normal aortic valve were prospectively identified. Clinical, laboratory, echocardographic, angiographic and calcium score evaluation using multidetector computer tomography at baseline, and at the end ofthe study. Predictor of calcification were sought using multivariate regression. Part II - pilot retrospective study of patients with aortic stenosis and two echocardiographies >8 months apart. The patients were divided into those treated with bisphosphonates for osteoporosis and those not treated. We compared the annualized gradient change between the groups and identified predictors of AS progression. Results: Part I 294 patients were prospectively enrolled, with mean follow-up 30±11 months....
New employee adaptation in a banking institution
Linhartová, Kateřina ; Rymeš, Milan (advisor) ; Kirovová, Iva (referee)
(in English): The topic of the thesis is submitted, as an adaptation of a new employee in the organization. Introducing the topic within its complexity, showing his particular aspects of psychophysiology, mainly psychological resilience, and the influence to stress. Works on maps of the current possibilities and knowledge relating to the adaptation of the work. Specific attention is applied to the adaptation of the organizational culture. Aim of the empirical part of the thesis is to analyze employee orientation program of the specific banking company, its organizational culture and the specific position to organize the adjusting options, further improvements to the existing program. To this end, we have used variety of wide methods, mainly the qualitative nature of its character.
Risk factors for aortic valve stenosis in patients with coronary artery disease
Linhartová, Kateřina ; Čerbák, Roman (advisor) ; Rosolová, Hana (referee) ; Staněk, Vladimír (referee)
In calcific aortic valve disease, the early sclerotic valve lesion is similar to the atherosclerotic arterial plaque, but at the later stage calcification prevails. Our aim was to assess the association of several new potential risk factors, eg. systemic inflammation, neurohormonal activation and altered calcium metabolism with aortic stenosis (AS) in patients with significant coronary artery disease..
Valvular heart diseases: some of the less frequent aspects of the problem-the task of noninvazive methods
Línková, Hana ; Gregor, Pavel (advisor) ; Mandysová, Eva (referee) ; Linhartová, Kateřina (referee)
Unusual aspects of valvular heart disease - the role of noninvasive imaging methods MUDr. Hana Línková Abstract More than 100 million people around the word suffer from valvular heart diseases (VHD). We observe changes in the etiological spectrum in well developed countries. The number of postrheumatic diseases diminishes, while there is an increased number of patients diagnosed with degenerative VHD, in particular with aortic stenosis (AS). The observed increase of VHD, in particular secundary etiology of VHD, is also connected with an improved treatment of heart failure. Less frequently, the VHD can result from unusual mechanisms, in particular regurgitation VHD developed on both native and artificial valves. This work concentrates on the VHD which developed more or less due to iatrogenic mechanism. A special attention is payed to noninvasive imaging methods used for VHD diagnoses, their prediction and prevention. These diseases developed as a result of drugs therapy which can induce valvulopathy or they can appear as a complication of transcathether aortic valve replacement (TAVI) with patients with AS. In the first part of this work, possible effects of Pergolide is described. Pergolide - an agonist of dopamine receptors- used in the treatment of Parkinson disease (PD) can contribute to the development...
The Role of Patent Foramen Ovale in the Pathophysiology of Decompression Sickness.
Honěk, Jakub ; Šefc, Luděk (advisor) ; Linhartová, Kateřina (referee) ; Mandysová, Eva (referee)
Patent foramen ovale (PFO) has been associated with an increased risk of decompression sickness (DCS) in divers. Pathophysiologicaly this has been ascribed to paradoxical embolization of nitrogen bubbles from venous blood to systemic circulation, resulting in obstruction of peripheral capillaries and ischemic injury. However, the role of PFO has been largely debated and experimental and prospective clinical data has been missing. It is of note, that this hypothesis is not only of theoretical importance. The proof of PFO as a causative factor of DCS and, importantly, of unpredictable events (unprovoked DCS) could affect millions of divers worldwide through improved therapy and prevention. In our research we aimed to describe the pathophysiological role of PFO in decompression sickness and to determine whether the prevention of arterialization of post-dive venous gas emboli (VGE) would decrease the incidence of unprovoked DCS in divers. We have screened 489 scuba divers for the presence of PFO by means of transcranial color-coded Doppler ultrasonography. In a retrospective analysis we found that the incidence of unprovoked decompression sickness was 7% among these divers and that PFO was the only risk factor. Subsequently, we have studied the occurrence of VGE and arterial gas emboli (AGE) in divers with...
The Roles of the United States and Turkey in the Kurdish question between the years 1991-2003 and their impact on the American-Turkish relations
Linhartová, Kateřina ; Aslan, Emil (advisor) ; Horák, Slavomír (referee)
The bachelor's thesis "The Roles of the United States and Turkey in the Kurdish question between the years 1991-2003 and their impact on the American-Turkish relations" deals with the different roles which given countries had in Kurdish question during the 90s and how those roles influenced their mutual relations. The author presumes that the existence of PKK and autonomous Kurdistan were factors which significantly influenced American- Turkish relations and were one of the main reasons why Turkey didn't support the American invasion of Iraq in 2003. Since the end of the First World War the Kurds were an important factor for international relations and the period chosen by the author is from this point of view the most interesting one. During this period both of Gulf Wars occured which had a big impact on the development of the Kurdish question. Both Turkey and the United States took part in these conflicts both directly or indirectly and played their own roles in the Kurdish question. The author investigates how much those different roles influenced the Middle East and the Kurdish people.
