Endocrine studies in cyanotic congenital heart disease
Abstract:
Seven male patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease were studied. Serum testosterone, androstenedione, dehydroepiandrosterone, thyroxine and triiodothyronine levels did not differ significantly from control values. Thyroid stimulating hormone and prolactin responses to injected thyrotrophin releasing hormone were normal. Impaired gonadotrophin responses to injected gonadotrophin releasing hormone were noted in two patients. The hypothalmic-pituitary-testicular axis appears to be better preserved in cyanotic congenital heart disease than in chronic obstructive airways disease and restrictive lung disease for a similar degree of hypoxia. Possible explanations are discussed.

Imaging Studies for Cardiovascular System III: X-Ray
Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
