Anginal chest pain in sarcoidosis.
Of 43 consecutive black patients (42 male) with sarcoidosis, 12 (28%) complained of chest pain that met the clinical criteria for typical (four patients) or atypical (eight patients) angina pectoris. These patients underwent cardiopulmonary assessment, which included exercise and redistribution thallium-201 scans and, if indicated, coronary angiography. Nine control patients with sarcoidosis ma...
متن کاملRole of Speckle Tracking Echocardiography in Dilated Cardiomyopathy: A Review
Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is an important cause of the heart failure. Timely diagnosis and optimal management decrease morbidity and mortality in heart failure patients. Although transthoracic echocardiography is used as the diagnostic test of choice in these patients, new modalities like speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) have promising results in diagnosing these patients in the earli...
متن کاملAn unusual case of chest pain and dyspnea on exertion
Congenital coronary artery anomalies occur in less than 1% of the general population with clinical consequences ranging from benign incidental findings to sudden cardiac death. More often than not this diagnosis is made on a postmortem examination but up to one third of the patients have symptoms such as exertional chest pain and dyspnea. Due to the correctable nature of this entity and the fac...
متن کاملCardiac Mechanics Evaluated by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography
Natural myocardial markers, or speckles, originated from constructive and destructive interference of ultrasound in the tissues may provide early diagnosis of myocardial changes and be used in the prediction of some cardiac events. Due to its relatively temporal stability, speckles can be tracked by dedicated software along the cardiac cycle, enabling the analysis of the systolic and diastolic ...

Background: Considering the association between cardiac abnormalities and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD), the present study aimed to evaluate the relationship between biopsy-proven NAFLD and functional echocardiographic parameters, including left ventricular (LV) global longitudinal strain (GLS) in asymptomatic individuals. Methods: Thirty asymptomatic patients with liver biopsy-prov...
