Introduction There is limited evidence regarding intra-observer and inter-observer variations in echocardiographic measurements of diastolic function. This study aimed to assess this reproducibly within a population-based cohort study. Methods Sixty subjects sinus rhythm were randomly selected among 4th visit participants the STANISLAS Cohort (Lorraine region, France). examination systematically included M-mode, 2-dimensional, DTI pulsed-wave Doppler echocardiograms. Reproducibility...
Background Several arrhythmias were reported in myotonic dystrophy (MD). Objectives To evaluate the prevalence of atrial fibrillation (AF) and flutter (AFL) MD clinical consequences. Methods One hundred sixty‐one patients, mean age 41 ± 14 years, referred for a type 1 MD. All patients asymptomatic except four followed during 5 4 years. Electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiography assessing left ventricular ejection fraction, Holter monitoring obtained repeated. Results Twenty‐seven (17%)...
This case report represents the difficulties in diagnosing brucellosis, which is an enigma with unusual cardiovascular complications. A 32-year-old Caucasian man acute chest pain was examined at Sfax Hedi Chaker's Hospital. He had a night fever, although his cardiac examination normal. Further laboratory analyses showed elevated C-reactive protein of 20.8 mg/dL and troponine I 1.469 IU/L. MRI using delayed enhancement then performed. The T2-weighted short-axis subepicardial delaying...
Left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction is the most frequent initial presentation of patient with LV noncompaction (NC). Our objectives were to evaluate myocardial contraction properties in patients LVNC and relationship non-compacted segments degree global regional deformation. We included 50 an echocardiography speckle imaging calculation peak longitudinal strain (PLS). Each 16 was defined as NC (ratio NC/compacted layer > 2), borderline (NC/C 0–2) compacted = 0). Basal, median apical...
Intracardiac thrombosis is an exceptional complication of Behçet's disease. The management this involvement difficult due to the risk recurrence. We present case a young man admitted our hospital for intermittent fever. microbiologic investigations did not show any causative germ. discovered right ventricle thrombus on echocardiography. confirmed diagnosis pulmonary embolism CT angiogram. patient developed oral and genital ulcerations which were consistent with syndrome. had disappeared...
Objective The purpose of the present study is to describe our experience with patients who have a transmural myocardial infarction (MI) in presence normal coronary artery. clinical profile, demographic characteristics and outcomes these are discussed. Methods Between January 2006 August 2011, 21 presented Q-wave were found arteries. prevalence rate this entity was 1.5% (21 out 1,400 Q wave MI patients). These characterized by their young age (the mean age=44.95±14.86), male dominance...
We herein present the findings of case a 23-year-old man who was hospitalized for ventricular tachycardia (VT) with no previous history cardiac disease or any family sudden death. Based on clinical features as well echographic and MRI results, patient diagnosed both acute viral myocarditis arythmogenic right dysplasia (ARVD). The underwent implantation an automatic cardioverter defibrillator. There recurrent VT during 24 month follow-up. This demonstrates link between ARVD myocarditis,...
Primary cardiac lymphoma is rare.We report the case of a 64-year-old non-immunodeficient Caucasian man, with tamponade and paroxysmal third-degree atrioventricular block. Echocardiography revealed presence large pericardial effusion signs right ventricular mass was suspected. Scanner investigations clarified sites, extension anatomic details myocardial infiltration. Surgical resection performed due to rapid impairment his function. Analysis fluid histology confirmed diagnosis non-Hodgkin...
Postinfarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) is a devastating mechanical complication following acute myocardial infarction. The management of this pathology quite challenging, especially in case complicated cardiogenic shock. difficulties lie the timing and type intervention. Debates exist with regard to immediate versus deferring repair, as well open repair percutaneous closure. anatomic characteristics hemodynamic consequence PIVSD are important elements determining which strategy...
Introduction: Transcatheter Aortic valve implantation is a new challenging procedure for frail patient with several co-morbidities. In this case report, the developed mitral endocarditis on post-TAVI injury. The level of aortic and interaction are discussed may have provoked lesions making bed endocarditis. Case report description: An 81-year-old man symptomatic severe stenosis was referred transcatheter implantation. Transthoracic Echocardiographic (TTE) assessment confirmed low-flow...
