Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Using Framingham Risk Score in Korean Cancer Survivors.

Background: Cardiovascular disease is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in cancer survivors. The aim of this study was to investigate the modifiable cardiovascular disease risk factors and 10-year probability of the disease based on the Framingham risk score in cancer survivors, compared with the general population.

Methods: A total of 1,225 cancer survivors and 5,196 non-cancer controls who participated in the 2007-2013 Korea National Health and Nutrition Examination Surveys were enrolled.

A cardiovascular collapse occurred in the beach chair position for shoulder arthroscopy under general anesthesia -A case report-.

The occurrence of severe hypotension and bradycardia, following placing to the beach chair position from supine during general anesthesia for repair of tendon injury of the rotator cuff of shoulder in a healthy 50 year-old man was described. The Bezold-Jarisch reflex, which is known to inhibit cardiovascular reflex and composed of three kinds of symptoms such as vasodilation, bradycardia and hypotension, has been reported mainly in peripheral nerve block, and may occur during orthostasis, hypovolemia, hemorrhage, supine inferior vena cava compression in pregnancy, interscalene block for shoulder surgery in the sitting position and so on. The bradycardia and hypotension can be more aggravated when causative elements overlaps each other.
