This article studies peculiarities of the anatomical and histological structure aortic valve cusps in Baikal seal age 3-3.5 years. Topographically, takes a central position is located between atrioventricular valves, cranial - pulmonary valve. Projectively, placed above level but below The ostium has marked sinuses, two coronary one septal, forming bulb. shown by septal right left semilunar cus...

The relations of Metropolitan Life Insurance Co. Relative Weight values and blood pressure (BP) to minimal forearm vascular resistance, ventricular septal and posterior wall thickness, left ventricular (LV) mass index and cardiac diastolic function were assessed in 31 men, 37 +/- 2 (mean +/- standard error of the mean) years of age. Eighteen patients with untreated mild hypertension were compar...

A phase 2, open-label study in 21 patients with non-Val30Met and non-Val122Ile hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis showed that tafamidis (20 mg daily for 12 months) stabilized these transthyretin variants. We assessed cardiac amyloid infiltration and cardiac abnormalities in this same study population. At baseline, median age was 64.3 years, 11 patients were in NYHA class II, 13 had conduction...

Holt-Oram syndrome is an autosomal dominant disorder, characterised by skeletal abnormalities of the upper limb associated with congenital heart defect, mainly atrial and ventricular septal defects. Skeletal defects exclusively affect the upper limbs in the preaxial radial ray distribution and are bilateral and asymmetrical. They range from clinodactyly, absent or digitalised thumb, hypoplastic...

A 49-year-old man presented with a stab wound to the left chest. On physical examination, he had jugular venous distention and distant heart sounds; a trauma ultrasound showed a large pericardial effusion. Emergency thoracotomy revealed a large amount of blood and clot in the pericardial space and rapid hemorrhage from a laceration of the right ventricular free wall that was repaired with sutur...

This study aimed to compare the efficacy and safety of the classic Morrow septal myectomy with the modified procedure in treating hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM).A retrospective study was conducted to compare the outcomes of classic with modified Morrow septal myectomy in 42 patients treated from January 2005 to July 2011. Preoperative and postoperative ventricular septal thickne...

One hundred and nineteen patients with a clinical diagnosis of important aortic stenosis were assessed clinically and by electrocardiography and M mode echocardiography to determine the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy. Predicted left ventricular pressure was calculated from two previously described formulas. Comparisons were made between the various methods for assessing left ventricular...
