Osler-Weber-Rendu (OWR) Disease and Heart Failure
نویسندگان
چکیده
OWR is a genetic disease, transmitted as an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by arteriovenous malformations predominantly involving the mucocutaneous epithelium. One of the significant complications is the development of arteriovenous fistulas in different organs like the liver and brain. One of the rarest complications of this arteriovenous conduit is a high-output heart failure. We would like to describe a 66 years old woman who was admitted with a high-output cardiac failure who deteriorated clinically and was treated successfully by conservative management.

What Benjamin Babington, William Osler, Frederick Weber, and Henri Rendu did not know.
Epistaxis is a reasonably common and usually minor condition, although in rare cases it can be severe and life threatening. Benjamin Guy Babington described a family with individual members in five generations who had commonly and at times severe epistaxis, and he recognized this as an inherited epistaxis syndrome [1]. Diagnostic acuity of the time was limited, leading to confusion between fami...

The Rendu-Osler-Weber disease is a genetic disease which may lead to severe hemorrhage and less frequently to severe organ dysfunction. We report the case of a 22-year-old patient with no personal medical history who was involved in a motorcycle accident and exhibited severe complications related to large arteriovenous pulmonary shunts during his ICU stay. The patient developed an unexplained s...
