Background: Potassium, as an extracellular ion, plays an important role in the electrophysiologic function of the myocardium and any change in extracellular concentration of this ion might have a marked impression upon myocyte electrophysiologic gain. High serum potassium levels are thought to impair pulse conduction in Purkinje fibers and ventricles more than that in the Atrio...

Scintigraphic examination of the myocardium, using 99mTc-labelled pyrophosphate, was carried out in 17 patients suffering from systemic sclerosis. This connective tissue disorder very often affects the myocardium secondarily.

The pulmonary manifestations of progressive systemic sclerosis (PSS) are important determinants of a patient’s prognosis. Although the etiology and pathogenesis of PSS are unknown, it is recognized that this is a complex disease; it is likely that different genetic susceptibilities and environmental exposures lead to the disease in different individuals. Individuals with diffuse PSS tend to dev...
متن کاملPregnancy with Complete Heart Block.
Complete heart block is a conduction disorder characterized by a random relationship between the atrial and the ventricular activation where the atrial impulses are not conducted to the ventricle. The incidence of complete heart block (CHB) is estimated to be 1 in 15,000 to 20,000 live births [1]. It may be congenital or acquired. The acquired variety is rare during pregnancy as this type is mo...
