The measurement of central blood pressure (BPc) has become a matter importance. Several therapeutic trials have noted different protective effect against cardiovascular complications with antihypertensive strategies, but an identical decrease in brachial BP (BPb). A possible explanation lies the effects treatments on BPc. We propose new noninvasive method for automatic BPc based QKD interval, arterial stiffness marker.This study was carried out patients referred cardiac catheterization....
We aimed to assess the management of hypertensive patients by general practitioners in Cotonou city.
Objective: We validated against invasive measurements a measure of central SBP based on the QKD interval. The present objective is comparison to SphygmoCor device. Materials and methods: A first cohort was used redefine an algorithm for estimating ascending aorta (cSBP) with respect SphygmoCor. This then tested in second under static conditions third during head-up tilt study blood pressure variations. Results: (36 patients, mean age: 46 ± 20 years, SBP: 114 19 mmHg) defined estimation as...
Persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) is a rare congenital anomaly. Its prevalence in the general population 0.1 to 0.5%. LSVC 5 times rarer when accompanied by an absence of right (RSVC). We present case 54-year-old man who carries persistent without RSVC. Clinically, this patient presented regular bradycardia at 40 per minute associated with heart failure syndrome. The electrocardiogram diagnosed complete atrioventricular block and transthoracic echocardiography showed dilated cavities...
