Editorial for the manuscript of Zhou and colleagues appearing in this issue: Pheochromocytoma and cardioembolic events.
Zhou et al (1) reported a case of pheochromocytoma. An obese 43-year-old woman presented with clinical manifestations of ventricular tachycardia, a left ventricular thrombus and elevation of myocardial enzymes followed by embolization. Soon after admission, the patient developed ventricular tachycardia (VT) concomitant with elevated blood pressure about 200 mmHg (systolic). Amiodarone was given...
متن کاملAcute myocardial ischemia with prolonged left ventricular dyskinesia and mural thrombus formation in asymmetric septal hypertrophy.
A 52-year-old man had longstanding hypertension and asymemtric septal hypertrophy and normal major coronary arteries. His acute anterior wall ischemia gave rise to transient Q waves and septoapical dyskinesia, complicated by mural thrombus formation. Follow-up revealed a gradual and complete recovery of echocardiographic left ventricular function with total disappearance of mural thrombi and of...
متن کاملAcute effect of burn trauma to small skin areas on myocardial ischemia reperfusion
Introduction: It has been reported that traumas such as transverse abdominal incision before myocardial ischemia result in a significantly decreased infarct size. This phenomenon is named remote preconditioning of trauma. Since small skin burn is one of most common traumas, the effect of this injury on ischemia-induced arrhythmias and infarct size was investigated in a rat model of ischemia-...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Thrombus in Acute St Segment Elevated Myocardial Infarction
Objectives: To determine the frequency of left ventricular thrombus in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction, relation of left ventricular thrombus to degree of left ventricular-dysfunction, and effects of adjuvant therapy on left ventricular thrombus formation. Material & Methods: It was a descriptive cross sectional study conducted at Cardiology Department, Hayatabad Medical Comple...
متن کاملLeft ventricular thrombus formation after acute myocardial infarction
Cardiovascular disease remains the leading cause of death in western society. Mortality from acute myocardial infarction (AMI) has decreased since the introduction of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), which has proved to be superior to thrombolytic therapy by demonstrating lower mortality rates and reduced clinical adverse events. Nevertheless, postinfarct complications still le...
