چکیده

Cardiac involvement in the course of acute brucellosis is rare and, when present, is usually manifested by endocarditis. Myocarditis is very infrequent and in the few reported cases, the course of the disease was fulminant. A patient with recurrent brucellosis who presented transient electrocardiographic T wave changes during two episodes of acute illness is reported. It is suggested that the patient had minor asymptomatic myocarditis in the course of recurrent brucellosis.

The QRS complex during transient myocardial ischemia: studies in patients with variant angina pectoris and in a canine preparation.

We made continuous electrocardiographic recordings on magnetic tape during 15 episodes of ischemia in five patients with variant angina to determine the characteristics of the QRS changes. Orthogonal leads were used and the electrocardiograms were analyzed visually and by digital computer. Changes were quantified by subtracting baseline electrocardiograms from those obtained during ischemia. La...

Mechanism of rest and nocturnal angina: observations during continuous hemodynamic and electrocardiographic monitoring.

The mechanism of resting or nocturnal angina relative to primary alterations in myocardial oxygen supply or demand (MVO2) is still uncertain. We studied 23 patients (15 males, eight females, ages 45-83 years) with coronary artery disease (CAD) and rest angina using electrocardiographic and hemodynamic monitoring by intra-arterial line and Swan-Ganz thermodilution catheter. Data were recorded co...

Transient predominant right ventricular ischemia caused by coronary vasospasm.

This study describes the clinical experience with four patients with variant angina caused by spasm of the right coronary artery who were assessed for evidence of right ventricular involvement. The patients were suspected of having predominant right ventricular ischemia on the basis of normal thallium-201 scans, left ventricular ejection fraction, regional wall motion assessed by equilibrium ra...
