Valvuloarterial impedance, but not aortic stenosis severity, predicts syncope in patients with aortic stenosis.
BACKGROUND The presence of syncope in patients with aortic valve stenosis (AS) predicts a grave prognosis. However, the evaluation of AS severity has been limited to valve-specific factors such as aortic valve area and mean transaortic pressure gradient. Recently, valvuloarterial impedance (Zva) was proposed for the estimation of global left ventricular afterload. Therefore, because predictors ...
متن کاملSUPRAVALVAR AORTIC STENOSIS IN CHILDREN REPORT OF THIRTEEN CASES
During 15 years from 1975 to 1990, thirteen cases of supravalvar aortic stenosis were admitted at the pediatrics department of Shahid Rajai Heart Hospital, Tehran. All patients were subjected to cardiac catheterization and a angiocardiography. Patients ranged in age from 3.5 years to 14 years with a mean of 8.7 years. Seventy seven percent of childen were male. Eight cases (61.5%) had Wil...
متن کاملSyncope in a Previously Healthy Young Adult: Undiagnosed Aortic Stenosis, Dilation and Coarctation Requiring Emergent Surgery
Aortic stenosis is a valvular heart disease that needs particular attention; due to the fact that asymptomatic patients may go undiagnosed for periods of time long enough to cause severe morbidity. On the other hand, aortic stenosis frequently is accompanied with other cardiac pathologies, such as a post-stenotic dilation, and coarctation. Imputed as a possible causative factor for sudden cardi...
متن کاملSyncope due to paroxysmal complete atrioventricular block in a patient with aortic valve stenosis.
A 66-year-old man was admitted due to repeated syncope, and the electrocardiogram showed complete atrioventricular block (CAVB). He had moderate aortic valve stenosis (AS) with a severely calcified valve. This case indicates that if calcification spreads into the cardiac conduction system, it may cause CAVB. Although CAVB is not typically considered a main cause of syncope in AS patients, it sh...
متن کاملSimulation of Exercise-Induced Syncope in a Heart Model with Severe Aortic Valve Stenosis
Severe aortic valve stenosis (AVS) can cause an exercise-induced reflex syncope (RS). The precise mechanism of this syncope is not known. The changes in hemodynamics are variable, including arrhythmias and myocardial ischemia, and one of the few consistent changes is a sudden fall in systemic and pulmonary arterial pressures (suggesting a reduced vascular resistance) followed by a decline in he...
