[Myocardial dysfunction in sepsis].
Myocardial dysfunction appears in 25% of patients with severe sepsis and in 50% of patients with septic shock, even in the presence of hyper dynamic states. It is characterized by a reduction in left ventricle ejection fraction, that reverts at the seventh to tenth day of evolution. Right ventricular dysfunction and diastolic left ventricular dysfunction can also appear. There is no consensus i...
متن کاملMyocardial Dysfunction in Donor Hearts
Background—Potential cardiac donors show various degrees of myocardial dysfunction, and the most severely affected hearts are unsuitable for transplantation. The cause of this acute heart failure is poorly understood. We investigated whether alterations in calcium-handling proteins, b-adrenoceptor density, or the inhibitory G protein Gia could account for this phenomenon in unused donor hearts ...
متن کاملMyocardial dysfunction in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.
Cardiomyopathy To The Editor: We note with interest Nagueh et al’s1 recent observation that the reduction of tissue Doppler (TD) velocities in mitral annulus excursion was highly sensitive and specific for the detection of individuals carrying hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)–causing mutations in HCM families, even in the prehypertrophic phase. Any clinical tool that can reliably identify subt...
متن کاملMyocardial dysfunction in ankylosing spondylitis.
Echocardiographic evidence has suggested abnormalities of the myocardial function in patients with ankylosing spondylitis. In this work the cardiac function in patients with ankylosing spondylitis and in normal volunteers was evaluated. Twenty four normal volunteers and 21 patients with ankylosing spondylitis aged 18-45 were studied. None had overt cardiac disease. Cardiac function was assessed...
متن کاملMethotrexate therapy in polymyositis.
Polymyositis, an inflammatory disorder of skeletal and occasionally cardiac muscle, may present as a myopathy alone, as one manifestation of a multisystem disorder, especially systemic sclerosis (Medsger, Rodnan, Moossy, and Vester, 1968; Thompson, Bluestone, Bywaters, Dorling, and Johnson, 1969; Brock, 1934), systemic lupus erythematosus (White, 1959; Dubois, 1966), and Sjogren's syndrome (Bun...
