Background. Dengue is a disease whose clinical manifestations range from asymptomatic infections to severe disease. There have been some previous reports of myocardial involvement in dengue, but this association has not completely established. Methods. From January July 2011, patients hospitalized with confirmed through dengue nonstructural protein 1 and/or immunoglobulin M detection, were included study and troponin I N terminal fragment B-type natriuretic peptide levels determined....
Abstract Activated matrix metalloproteinases ( MMP s) cause cardiomyocyte injury during acute pulmonary thromboembolism APT ). However, the functional consequences of this alteration are not known. We examined whether doxycycline (a inhibitor) improves right ventricle function and cardiac responses to dobutamine . was induced with autologous blood clots (350 mg/kg) in anaesthetized male lambs pre‐treated (Doxy, 10 mg/kg/day, intravenously) or saline. Non‐embolized control received...
Endomyocardial fibrosis, which is a cause of restrictive cardiomyopathy, characterized by the deposition fibrous tissue in apical region 1 or both ventricles. The condition not only affects diastolic dynamics ventricles, but also function atrioventricular valves. disease occurs predominantly tropical regions worldwide and sub‐Saharan Africa. This well understood, with varied manifestations, from subclinical presentations to chronic progressive edematous syndromes. Here, we present...
A síndrome do anticorpo antifosfolípide (SAF) é uma trombofilia autoimune, caracterizada pela presença de anticorpos plasmáticos contra fosfolípides, associada a episódios recorrentes trombose venosa e/ou arterial e morbidade gestacional (especialmente abortamento repetição). Reportamos o caso paciente feminina, jovem, com diagnóstico lúpus eritematoso sistêmico (LES), associado à longa data, apresentação infarto agudo miocárdio (IAM) por proximal da artéria descendente anterior como...
Objective: To present a surgical variant technique to repair left ventricular aneurysms.Methods: After anesthesia, cardiopulmonary bypass, and myocardial protection with hyperkalemic tepic blood cardioplegia: 1) The ventricle is opened through the infarct an endocardial encircling suture placed at transitional zone between scarred normal tissue; 2) Next, scar tissue circumferentially plicated deep stitches using same thread, taking care eliminate entire septal scar; 3) Then, second placed,...
INTRODUÇÃO: Os autores relatam a experiência inicial da oclusão comunicação interatrial ostium secundum (CIA) com utilização prótese Memopart® (Shanghai Shape Memory Alloy Co Ltd, Shanghai, China). MÉTODOS: Estudo prospectivo observacional, no qual uma série de pacientes portadores defeitos significativa repercussão hemodinâmica e características anatômicas favoráveis ao implante foi submetida à percutânea CIA. O procedimento realizado por via femoral percutânea, pela técnica habitual....
The authors report their initial experience with the Memopart™ device (Shanghai Shape Memory Alloy Co Ltd, Shanghai, China) for occlusion of secundum atrial septal defect (ASD). This was a prospective observational study series patients undergoing percutaneous ASD right ventricle volume overload and favorable anatomic characteristics. procedure performed by femoral approach. mean follow-up 10.3 ± 5 months, clinical 24-hour echocardiographic evaluations (or before hospital discharge), 1, 3,...
Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a neglected but prevalent disease in underdeveloped countries. Despite its frequency, it still considered rare disease. It marked by the following findings: architectural distortion, ventricular filling changes, and segmental mobility changes affecting not only diastolic systolic dynamics also heart valve function. Apical thrombi can be formed more advanced In this case report, we revisit EMF present challenging of 52-year-old woman with New York Heart...
A 58 year-old male patient submitted to mechanical valve prosthesis implant was hemodynamically stable at the postoperative unit and over time developed progressive cardiovascular collapse, requiring high doses of vasopressor amines. The image illustrates selective external compression right cardiac chamber, mainly atrium, which caused an unsuspected tamponade. Figure 1 A) All reasoning explain collapse concentrated on cardiogenic shock, as serial radiographs were not suggestive...
Ventricular constraint therapy has been used to prevent and reverse the progression of heart failure in ischemic nonischemic cardiomyopathies.We hypothesized that ventricular restraint should be tried by closing pericardium was previously opened following left ventricle topographical projection.The surgical technique presentation is illustrated a remarkable 13-year outcome one patient with dilated cardiomyopathy treated surgically mitral prosthesis, Cox/ Maze III surgery treat atrial...

We examined whether pretreatment with doxycycline (a matrix metalloproteinase MMP inhibitor) protects against acute pulmonary thromboembolism (APT)‐induced right ventricular dysfunction and dilatation. APT (350 mg/kg of autologous blood clots) increased mean artery pressure (MPAP) vascular resistance index (PVRI) by approximately 186% 196% respectively. Ecocardiography showed that ventricle (RV) diameter in animals (from 10.7±0.8 to 18.3±1.6 mm, P<0.05), but not embolized pretreated at 10...
Partial or complete obstruction of the thin-walled superior vena cava (SVC) is a relatively rare condition. The patients may present with swelling neck and face, headache, dizziness, visual disturbances, stupor, syncope. cutaneous veins upper chest lower become dilated flushing face develop. most frequent causes SVC are divided into two categories: (1) non-neoplastic (mediastinitis, constrictive pericarditis, histoplasmosis, etc) (2) neoplastic (superior mediastinal tumors).

A febre reumática aguda é uma complicação tardia da infecção de orofaringe causada pelo estreptococo beta hemolítico do grupo A. Os principais órgãos e sistemas acometidos são articulações, coração, pele, tecido subcutâneo sistema nervoso central. cardite a mais grave das apresentações responsável pelas sequelas valvares crônicas. O diagnóstico baseado na combinação avaliação clínica laboratorial usando os critérios Jones modificados. pacientes muitas vezes assintomáticos ou com sintomas...
A endomiocardiofibrose é uma doença negligenciada e predominante em países subdesenvolvidos. Apesar de sua frequência, ainda considerada rara. Assim, a marcada pelos seguintes achados: distorção arquitetural, alterações no enchimento ventricular da mobilidade segmentar. Ela afetando não só dinâmica diastólica sistólica, como também as funções das válvulas cardíacas. Em condição mais avançada doença, pode haver formação trombos apicais. Neste relato caso, revisitamos endomiocardiofibrose,...
