Ocular Lymphoma: Clinical, Diagnostic, and Therapeutic Aspects
Ocular involvement in lymphoma is a relatively rare condition that can result from a primary intraocular lymphoma or an intraocular manifestation of systemic lymphoma. Lymphoma manifestations frequently masquerade as other more benign intraocular conditions including allergic or infectious conjunctivitis, uveitis, multiple evanescent white dot syndrome, acute retinal necrosis, or herpetic retin...

The interventricular septum is nown to play an important role in arrhythmias after myocardial nfarction (1). Morita et al. (2) demonstrated that acute ischemia f the interventricular septum in canine cardiac wedge preparations roduced asymmetric suppression of conduction velocity in the eptum, and...
متن کاملThe long QT syndrome: therapeutic implications of a genetic diagnosis.
The congenital long QT syndrome (LQTS) is a hereditary disorder characterized by a prolonged QT interval and a polymorphic ventricular tachycardia, known as torsade de pointes (TdP), leading to severe cardiac events such as syncope and/or sudden cardiac death. Molecular genetic studies have revealed a total of eight forms of congenital LQTS caused by mutations in genes of the potassium, sodium ...
متن کاملCongenital Short QT Syndrome
Long QT intervals in the ECG have long been associated with sudden cardiac death. The congenital long QT syndrome was first described in individuals with structurally normal hearts in 1957.1 Little was known about the significance of a short QT interval. In 1993, after analyzing 6693 consecutive Holter recordings Algra et al concluded that an increased risk of sudden death was present not only ...
متن کاملThe Short QT Syndrome
Results A total of 61 reported cases of SQTS were identified. Index events, including sudden cardiac death, aborted cardiac arrest, syncope, and/or atrial fibrillation occurred in 35 of 61 (57.4%) cases. The cohort was predominantly male (75.4%) and had a mean QTc value of 306.7 ms with values ranging from 248 to 381 ms in symptomatic cases. In reference to the ECG characteristics of the genera...
