Aug 10th, 2022 - Since the beginning of the pandemic, no severe pediatric coronavirus disease 2019 cases have been described in Congo. We studied a 3-month-old male child of Congolese origin who was admitted to the pediatric department with 7-day history of fever,...

Aug 3rd, 2022 - The unique pathophysiological changes of constrictive pericarditis (CP) can now be identified with better imaging modalities, thereby helping in its early diagnosis. Through this review, we outline the pathophysiology of CP and its translation int...

Jun 24th, 2022 - Sarcoma can present as locally advanced disease involving pleura for which extra-pleural pneumonectomy (EPP) may be the only surgical option to ensure adequate local control. Data were collected on patients who underwent EPP between January 2009 a...

Jun 1st, 2022 - Pericarditis is inflammation of the pericardium, often with fluid accumulation in the pericardial space. Pericarditis may be caused by many disorders (eg, infection, myocardial infarction, trauma, tumors, metabolic disorders) but is often idiopath...

Jun 1st, 2022 - Thyroid disorders, especially hypothyroidism, are known to be associated with pericardial diseases. The aim of this paper is to review the current knowledge of the pericardial manifestations of hypothyroidism and hyperthyroidism. Many reports have...

Feb 2nd, 2021 - Inclusion criteria Severe isolated TR for more than 6 months Exclusion criteria Severe mitral and aortic valvular heart disease Age equals to or more than 75 years Malignancy or serious comorbidity with life expectancy < 5years Acute or subacute i...

Sep 5th, 2018 - This study will evaluate the effect of deep breathing manoeuvres on inter ventricular interdependency physiology. By providing further insight in this basic physiology we want to add more comprehensive data in favor or not of constrictive pericard...

May 2nd, 2018 - Intrapericardial fibrinolytic agents are used in the drainage of tuberculous, purulent, neoplastic and other inflammatory pericardial effusions to prevent recurrent effusions and constrictive pericarditis. This use is based on evidence from case r...

Aug 17th, 2017 - Pericarditis usually present with chest pain and dyspnea. Effusion can present with no symptoms, dull ache in left chest and abdominal pain Cardiac tamponade is recognized by the excessive fall of systolic blood pressure Diagnostic workup A) Chest...

Jun 21st, 2017 - Background. Patients undergoing cardiac surgery are at risk for post-pericardiotomy syndrome and post-operative atrial fibrillation. It is unknown whether post-pericardiotomy syndrome predisposes patients to constrictive pericarditis, but cardiac ...

Sep 28th, 2021 - In response to a study published in August, FDA is investigating whether women really have worse outcomes after Watchman left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO) than men. Shorter intervals between measurements: a way to slice a minute off standard ...

Sep 3rd, 2021 - Clinical practice guidelines on the management of heart failure by the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) were published in August 2021 in the European Heart Journal.[1] HFpEF (heart failure with preserved ejection fraction) diagnosis requires e...

Feb 7th, 2020 - Because of increased myocardial oxygen consumption and demand beyond a critical level, the following high-output states can precipitate the clinical presentation of heart failure: Profound anemia Thyrotoxicosis Myxedema Paget disease of bone Albri...

Dec 2nd, 2016 - Explanation: What is shown in Figure 1 is the pulse-wave (PW) Doppler through the left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT). The rhythm is regular, but the peak velocities vary from 0.8 m/s to 1.1 m/s. When there is significant variability in the flow...

Feb 11th, 2015 - A patient with constrictive pericarditis will have enhanced ventricular interaction arising from the restraint imposed by a rigid, diseased pericardium. That’s crucial.
