We report right ventricular involvement in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCMP) in two women and one man, aged from 19 to 44 years-old, who presented different signs from those with left ventricular disease (who have good clinical evolution), with signs and symptoms of severe diastolic restriction, ...
PURPOSE: To identify in the elderly adaptations imposed by exercise in both sexes. METHODS: 1528 stress tests were performed on subjects divided in: group I (GI) (90) between 65 to 75 years old, and group II (GII) more than 75 years old. Protocols applied were Bruce (72), and modified Naughton (28). Clin...
A case of a 62-year-old patient with Ebstein's anomaly is presented. Despite the severe anatomical abnormalities, he was asymptomatic until 61 years of age. Anatomic aspects, clinical features and the diagnostic techniques used are analyzed....
Grupos de cäes experimentalmente infectados com Trypanosoma cruzi (1,000 tripomastigotas/kg de peso, cepa Colombiana) e infectados e tratados com beta bloqueador (metoprolol) foram avaliados pela eletrocardiografia na fase aguda (semanalmente por 5 semanas) e na fase crônica indeterminada (mensalmente ...
Electrocardiographic changes, left ventricular wall motion abnormalities, myocardial ischemia, myocytolysis and arrhythmias have been well documented in patients with cerebral bleed. These complications may be related to stimulation of autonomic nervous system and central nervous system. We report a case...
PURPOSE: To investigate the short-term effects of the partial ventriculectomy (resection of lateral wall associated to mitral annuloplasty) on cardiac mechanics, contractility, shape and geometry of the left ventricle (LV). METHODS: Eleven male patients with severe congestive heart failure due to dilated...
PURPOSE: To evaluate some features of ventricular arrhythmias in patients with mitral valve prolapse. METHODS: We studied 25 patients (female: 19; mean age: 37 +/- 13 years) with ventricular arrhythmias, mitral valve prolapse and normal ventricular function. All patients underwent a 24h Holter and high r...
