Objectives To evaluate the mid‐term outcomes, and aortic remodeling in Marfan syndrome (MFS) patients with type B dissection that were treated endovascular repair. Background MFS is a relative contraindication to thoracic repair (TEVAR). Mid‐term outcomes data after TEVAR are limited, occurrence of late events remains unclear. Methods Of 89 underwent between September 2002 February 2011, 10 follow‐up fulfilled Ghent criteria for complicated dissection. High risk open surgery was documented...
ABSTRACT We present a case of 50‐year‐old male patient with shortness breath and progressive edema. Echocardiography demonstrated dilation the four cavities, left ventricular dysfunction, patent arterial duct (PDA) systolic predominant flow due to pulmonary hypertension. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) confirmed PDA. This is particular interest since typical continuous heart murmur found in PDA lost equalization diastolic pressure between aortic circulation.
Hyperuricemia has been associated with an increased risk of endothelial dysfunction (ED), cardiovascular and renal disease. The role uric acid (UA) on vascular damage is still controversial because previous studies have included patients other factor for ED.To determine if the treatment allopurinol improved function in hyperuricemic without factors ED.In order to gain more insight about contribution UA ED, we screened 369 apparently healthy male individuals a period 9 months. Only fulfill...
The I/D insertion/deletion polymorphism of the angiotensin-converting enzyme has been related to hypertension. This also seems have gender implications. Angiotensin II contributes production and release oxygen reactive species that react with nitric oxide, inactivating its effects.To establish whether ACE correlates oxide plasma metabolites in healthy men women.Among 896 subjects between 18 30 years age range, 138 fulfilled inclusion criteria. was identified by polymerase chain reaction,...
Abstract Heart masses, including tumors (primary and secondary) pseudotumor (cysts thrombus), are rare entities, but of increasing interest in cardiac imaging areas. The clinical manifestations related to the intracardiac effect mass, embolization, systemic symptoms case tumors; however, some them detected incidentally. Nowadays, techniques advancement their tools perform morphological, functional, tissue characterization additionally know anatomical relationships, which crucial factors for...
Abstract Background Ventricular tachycardia (VT) is one of the main predictors mortality in Chagas cardiomyopathy (CC). Although substrate sustained and nonsustained‐VT (NS‐VT) seems to be same, little known about distribution late enhancement (LE). Our aim was compare clinical findings amount patterns LE disease according presence type VT. Methods Results Magnetic resonance imaging performed 54 seropositive patients: 8 indeterminate 46 with CC whom 15 were without VT, 13 NS‐VT, 18...
Patients with chronic kidney disease undergoing haemodialysis (HD) therapy have high morbidity and mortality, the main causes are cardiovascular events followed by infectious disease. Infectious problems originate from vascular access, especially when such access is through a central venous catheter. We described 72-year-old man end-stage renal disease, requiring HD, fever purulent discharge at catheter insertion site. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed 39 × 27 mm mobile mass in right...
<p>Chagas disease constitutes a relatively prevalent condition in Latin America and is increasing worldwide. With wide spectrum of clinical subsets. Imaging modalities are critical for adequate diagnosis, staging prognosis this entity. Currently Echocardiography Cardiac Magnetic Resonance the most valuable techniques purpose. Evidence both has increased last years, as role advanced such Speckle Tracking been explored we aim to review evidence imaging patients with Chagas Heart...
Aortic calcification is a frequent finding in Takayasu arteritis (TA). The aim of this study was to evaluate the risk factors for aortic TA and its relationship with disease activity presence type vascular lesion.Nineteen patients underwent nonenhanced computed tomography measure calcium score aorta main branches, which were divided into 13 segments. In each segment, lesion evaluated by noninvasive angiography. Clinical scores recorded.Eighteen 19 (95%) women, median age 25 years. Median 69...
Abstract Background. The evaluation of long-term inflammatory response and function in postoperative patients with aortic valve replacement (AVR) deserves special analysis because it is important to try prevent reoperation improve durability functionality the prostheses. Methods In this study we included a cohort damage treated by AVR mechanical prosthesis, bioprosthesis control group. Results. We found that IL-4 OPN levels were higher vs. biological prostheses (p = 0.01 p 0.04...
