Electrophysiological findings in patients with isolated left ventricular non-compaction

Description : AIMS: Patients with isolated left ventricular non-compaction (IVNC) are at high risk for developing ventricular tachyarrhythmias. However, no analysis of invasive electrophysiological (EP) findings in these patients has yet been performed. METHODS AND RESULTS: We performed a retrospective analysis o...

Isolated cleft in the posterior mitral valve leaflet: a congenital form of mitral regurgitation

Description : Background: Isolated congenital cleft of the posterior leaflet of the mitral valve is a rare cause of mitral regurgitation (MR). This study describes the clinical, echocardiographic, and intraoperative findings as well as treatment options. Methods: Adults with an isolated cleft of the posterior mi...

Spontanous periodic breathing is associated with sympathetic hyperreactivity and baroreceptor dysfunction in hypertension

Description : OBJECTIVES: Intermittent periods of hypoxemia such as during periodic breathing are associated with hypertension and increased sympathetic activity. In patients with sleep apnea syndrome, hypertension is common. Treating apnea improves hypertension and reduces sympathetic outflow. The aim of the pre...

Arrhythmic manifestations in patients with congenital left ventricular aneurysms and diverticula

Description : Congenital left ventricular aneurysms and diverticula (LVA/Ds) are rare cardiac malformations that can be detected using echocardiography or other imaging techniques. Some of these patients present with ventricular arrhythmias. This study investigated clinical characteristics of patients with congen...

Pulmonary atresia with ventricular septal defect: a case for central venous pressure and oxygen saturation monitoring.

Description : A 21-year-old patient with pulmonary atresia and ventricular septal defect (PA-VSD) was admitted to the hospital for tubal ligation. Invasive arterial and central venous (CVP) pressure, pulse oximetric oxygen saturation (SpO2), and (from the tip of oximetric central venous catheter) central venous o...

Determination of the ratio of pulmonary blood flow to systemic blood flow by derivation of amplitude weighted mean velocity from continuous wave Doppler spectra.

Description : Conventional Doppler echocardiographic techniques for the estimation of blood flow ratios depend on the precise measurement of the diameters of the aorta and the pulmonary artery and the mean blood flow velocities in these vessels. A simpler and quicker method is described, based on the calculation ...
