we study a new class of $h_v$-structures called fundamentally very thin. this is an extension of the well known class of the very thin hyperstructures. we present applications of these hyperstructures.

An 83-year-old woman presented to our emergency department with a two-week history of progressive dyspnoea on exertion and leg oedema, and no syncope. She had a history of hypertension, diabetes mellitus type 2, renal insufficiency, and left bundle branch block. She was clinically mildly decompensated. The ECG showed sinus rhythm with total AV block and a ventricular escape rhythm of 30/min. Ec...

conclusions the cardiac grafts at 5 months' post-htx follow-up were characterized by normal lv dimensions and ef. also, rv dysfunction and tricuspid regurgitation were frequent findings, but they were not associated with the clinical signs of congestive heart failure, morbidity, and mortality in the majority of our patients. background in patients with advanced heart failure, significant improv...

a good deal ahead of the older parts of the building. From the beginning of the Hospital, some sixty years ago, it has been in the hands of the Sisters of the Community of the Holy Bood, whose capacity has made it to-day one of the two big general hospitals of Middlesbrough and a recognised training school for nurses, with, including the new wards, 176 beds. The Sisters are helped in the manage...

Coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an anomaly making a coronary communicate with heart cavity or great vessel, thus bypassing the myocardial capillary bed. CAF frequently diagnosed as incidental finding. Herein, we present case of 4-year-old boy. He was referred for pediatric cardiology assessment due to continuous murmur at middle sternal border. Echocardiogram showed dilated left and abnormal d...

External compression of a vein is relatively rare but important cause unilateral leg edema. Here, we present case right edema caused by external the iliac due to markedly distended urinary bladder, secondary neurogenic bladder. The patient initially had bilateral associated with chronic heart failure. However, right-leg worsened and remained painful for several days. Lower extremity ultrasonogr...

The patient had been cyanotic since birth. She was first evaluated at Duke University Medical Center when she was 20 years old at which time her heart was slightly enlarged but no murmurs were heard. At the age of 24 she developed pelvic thrombophlebitis which resulted in paradoxical emboli and an acute diaphragmatic myocardial infarction. Shortly thereafter she began to have occasional chest p...

Cardiomyopathies are chronic diseases of heart muscle, in which the muscle is abnormally enlarged, thickened, and/or stiffened (1). According to American Heart Association, “Cardiomyopathies are a heterogeneous group of diseases of the myocardium associated with mechanical and/or electrical dysfunction that usually (but not invariably) exhibit inappropriate ventricular hypertrophy or dilatation...

UNDER conditions of chronic hypoxia, Van Liere reported enlargement of the heart and an increased heart weight-body weight ratio in rats. Using different technics, Takeuchi, Gremels and Starling and Stickney, Northup and Van Liere all reported dilatation of the heart in experimental acute hypoxia. Kerwin surveyed radiographically large numbers of Peruvian natives living at high altitudes in the...
