Intrahepatic granulomatous arteriopathy

Intrahepatic granulomatous arteriopathy.

one patient with tricuspid incompetence due to a ruptured papillary muscle after myocardial infarction. The higher incidence of left ventricular papillary muscle dysfunction reported (Heikkila, 1967) must be largely due to the higher incidence of left ventricular infarction observed by various workers (Wartman & Hellerstein, 1948; Zaus & Kearns, 1952). This patient had minimal dilatation of the...

Diffuse Arteriopathy.

Arteriopathy in Waldenstrom's disease.

Necropsy reports in Waldenstrom's (1944) disease have been few and unenlightening. This is to be expected in so chemical a disorder as the manufacture of abnormally large globulin molecules, an abnormality that seems suited to the congenital causation recently described (Bottura, Ferrari, and Veiga, 1961). The present report gives, therefore, only a brief report of the disease, its purpose bein...

Adding complexity to plexogenic arteriopathy.

In a landmark paper in the field of pulmonary hypertension research, Donald Heath and Jesse Edwards, in 1958, described the pulmonary vascular pathology that accompanies severe forms of pulmonary hypertension [1]. Examining lung tissue samples from patients with pulmonary hypertension associated with congenital heart disease and patients with primary pulmonary hypertension (now called idiopathi...

Supravalvular aortic stenosis: elastin arteriopathy.

Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a systemic elastin (ELN) arteriopathy that disproportionately affects the supravalvular aorta. ELN arteriopathy may be present in a nonsyndromic condition or in syndromic conditions such as Williams-Beuren syndrome. The anatomic findings include congenital narrowing of the lumen of the aorta and other arteries, such as branches of pulmonary or coronary arteries....
