Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is characterized by fibrofatty replacement of muscle. This has been documented in the ventricular myocardium DMD patients, but there limited description atrial involvement. The purpose this study to examine arrhythmia and ectopy burden patients with non-DMD dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) characterize cardiac histopathologic changes across disease spectrum.
Duchenne muscular dystrophy is characterised by fibrofatty replacement of muscle, resulting in dilated cardiomyopathy. Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy affects 1:200-1:500 people and asymmetric ventricular septal hypertrophy. To date, there have been two separately reported cases describing the combined pathology these disorders. Herein, we expand upon reports with a case series longitudinal findings three patients who developed hypertrophic
Clinical manifestations of subcutaneous filariasis in a yellow-collared macaw (Ara auricollis) included lameness induced by nodule formation, which was attributed to the presence filarial parasite Pelecitus sp. Following anthelmintic and corticosteroid therapeutic failure, problem resolved surgically removing adult worms.
