P01-027 – Normal HRV in colchicine-resistant FMF patients
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction The relationship between autonomic nervous system (ANS) dysfunction and familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is controversial. Heart rate variability (HRV) is a powerful, simple and reliable technique for the evaluation of ANS dysfunction. Recently, we reported on normal HRV parameters, suggestive of normal ANS function, in patients with uncomplicated FMF. Also, we reported on an association between decreased HRV parameters (suggestive of ANS dysfunction), and amyloidosis of FMF, particularly at a progressive stage.

Methods We retrospectively reviewed records of our dayhospitalization from 2007 to 2012 for patients with FMF unresponsive to oral treatment who were treated with supplemental 1mg IVC (120 min infusion) once a week. We tabulated records of clinical events: fever, number of attacks per month and CRP levels before and after at least one year of this treatment. Adverse events were also recorded, a...

Introduction We and others have previously shown that patients with Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) had low cholesterol levels when compared to healthy controls [1,2]. This was initially brought up by Ozkan E [3]. The causes of this abnormality are not understood. It could be due to an inherent effect of FMF or due to a lipid lowering effect of colchicine, as the patients in these studies we...

Methods We plan to include patients, agreeing with clinical and genetic diagnosis of FMF, who suffer from FMF attacks, at least once per month, in one of the sites commonly involved by FMF (Chest, abdomen, lower extremity large joints, and skin), despite treatment with colchicine 2 mg/ day or less (in case of colchicine intolerance). Involvement with other diseases relevant (vasculitis, spondyl...

Introduction Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disease characterized by recurrent attacks of fever and serositis. A relation between FMF and Ankylosing Spondylitis (AS) has been suggested in small cohort studies, although there is no consensus regarding the role of HLA B27. Colchicine, the mainstay treatment in FMF, does not improve the axial or peripheral symptoms due t...

Introduction Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF) is an autoinflammatory disorder characterized by recurrent fever associated with inflammation of serous membranes. There is no study reporting the assessment of autonomic functions by using heart rate variability (HRV) in children with FMF. HRV is a practical and reliable method for evaluation of autonomic functions. HRV studies have pointed to th...
