Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is characterized by a dilated left ventricular cavity with systolic dysfunction manifested heart failure. It has been revealed that mutations in genes for cytoskeleton or sarcomere proteins cause DCM. However, the disease-causing can be found only far less than half of patients family history, indicating there should other disease Formin homology 2 domain containing 3 (FHOD3) sarcomeric protein expressed plays an essential role organization during...
A 44-year-old man was referred to hospital for the evaluation of atypical chest pain. His X-ray showed leftward displacement heart. During echocardiography, apical window displaced laterally in usual left lateral position and characteristic motions interventricular septum ventricular posterior wall were recognized with postural alterations. We presumed a complete absence pericardium. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), however, demonstrated partial left-sided The diagnosis corrected...
This study aimed to clarify the relationship between cardiovascular prognosis and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with severe aortic stenosis who underwent transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR) investigate cardiac sympathetic nerve (CSN) function these factors using
We examined the plasma levels of soluble Fas (sFas) or ligand (sFas-L), tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α), and interleukin-6 (IL-6) in patients with idiopathic nonobstructive (HNCM) dilated-phase (DHCM) hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Patients cardiomyopathy (HCM) may deteriorate to DHCM pathogenesis is unknown. The these cytokines were measured by ELISA echocardiography was performed 38 HNCM 11 patients, 10 normal subjects. follow-up period three years. In HNCM, TNF-α (43.3 ± 45.2 versus...
Background Many mortality risk scoring tools exist among patients with ST-elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI). A stratification model that evaluates STEMI prognosis more simply and rapidly is preferred in clinical practice. Methods Findings We developed a simple for blood examination by using the data of AMI-Kyoto registry derivation set (n = 1,060) assessed its utility prediction validation 521). selected five variables significantly worsen in-hospital mortality: white cell count,...
Catheter ablation is an established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). The incidence of major complications related to the procedure reported be 4.5%, and delayed cardiac tamponade (DCT) a rare, although recently recognized, complication. However, mechanisms underlying development DCT remain unclear. We herein report cases two men, both 49 years age, who developed requiring pericardiocentesis few weeks after undergoing pulmonary vein isolation persistent AF. Physicians should explain...
Little attention is given to development of mitral regurgitation (MR) in adults with atrial septal defect (ASD). The aim the study was determine associated factors MR ASD before surgical repair and fate moderate severe after surgery.We examined 71 consecutive patients secundum (47 +/- 16 years) who underwent repair. Clinical echocardiographic variables including size left right heart systems severity tricuspid (TR) were investigated early surgery.Before closure, 14 (20%) had 25 (35%) showed...
Background:Cardiac conduction disturbance (CD) is the most frequent complication following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). This study examined whether anatomy of membranous septum (MS) could provide useful information about risk CD TAVR with a balloon-expandable (BEV).
