Heart attack or rhabdomyolysis?
Statins are commonly used drugs in the treatment of hyperlipidemia (HL), despite some undesirable side effects. These range from mild symptoms such as myopathy, muscle weakness and myalgia to severe muscle weakness associated with chronic myopathy and acute renal failure (ARF) as a result of rhabdomyolysis. The most serious and deadly side effect of statins is rhabdomyolysis. The case presente...
متن کاملUsing Link Cuts to Attack Internet Routing
Attacks on the routing system, with the goal of diverting traffic past an enemy-controlled point for purposes of eavesdropping or connection-hijacking, have long been known. In principle, at least, these attacks can be countered by use of appropriate authentication techniques. We demonstrate a new attack, based on link-cutting, that cannot be countered in this fashion. Armed with a topology map...
متن کاملHeart Attack Rareness in Thyroid-Treated Patients
The publication of the book Heart Attack Rareness in Thyroid-Treated Patients by Broda 0. Barnes, Ph.D., M.D. and Charlotte W. Barnes, M. A. can only be taken to indicate that the authors and the publisher believe the American public and her physicians are gullible, uninformed, and lack intelligence. "Written for both the layman and the scientist interested in preventing premature heart attacks...
متن کاملEffects of cardiovascular drugs on oxygen consumption/oxygen delivery relationship in patients with congestive heart failure.
The oxygen consumption (VO2)/oxygen delivery (DO2) relationship was analyzed in ten patients with severe congestive heart failure (CHF) and normal blood lactate levels. First dobutamine and then enoximone, after a washout period, were administered to each patient to increase cardiac output by at least 15 percent. Similar increases in DO2 were obtained with both drugs: from 285 +/- 46 to 393 +/-...
متن کاملHEART RATE: A PREDICTOR OF EARLY MORTALITY IN PATIENTS WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
A number of epidemiologic studies have reported a positive relationship between heart rate, cardiovascular disease and mortality. To examine the correlation between heart rate and mortality after acute myocardial infarction (AMI), 2147 patients hospitalized in coronary care units in Isfahan were investigated in a cross-sectional study. Their heart rate was measured according to an electroca...
