Although cerebral hyperperfusion syndrome is rarely encountered, this condition can be serious after procedures that increase cerebral blood flow; most reports are related to carotid revascularization. Sharp cerebral hemodynamic changes, along with impaired cerebrovascular autoregulation, are the
The majority of cases of central diabetes insipidus are still pathogenetically unclear (idiopathic). Atherosclerotic cholesterol emboli might be partly responsible for some of these idiopathic cases. A 54-year-old woman with known aortic valve stenosis and a history of a transitory ischemic attack
Patients with aortic stenosis (AS) may have classic angina pectoris. The safety of exercise testing in adults with AS is controversial and, in fact, exercise testing in such patients is considered to be contraindicated especially in severe aortic stenosis (SAS). Furthermore, exercise testing has low
Primary large saccular aortic aneurysm with high grade stenosis of aortic arc is rare, and no standard therapy is available. We have encountered one case and successfully treated using a hybrid interventional approach. A 59-year-old woman with a 7-day history of headache, dizziness and chest pain,
After an initial pilot study in five patients, the effect of flecainide on chronic ventricular arrhythmias was tested during 48-hour oral administration of 250 mg twice a day in nine further patients with previously drug-resistant chronic, stable ventricular arrhythmias. Mean age was 45.9 +/- 14.9
We report a case of an encapsulated subdural hematoma in the posterior cranial fossa, showing spontaneous development and rapid increase in size after cardiac surgery. An 86-year-old woman underwent aortic valve replacement for aortic valve stenosis, followed by anticoagulant therapy with heparin.
Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection confers an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, including acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Patients with perinatally acquired HIV may be at increased risk due to the viral infection itself and exposure to HAART in utero or as part of treatment. A
With the correct selection of drug and patient, the calcium antagonists as a group can be remarkably effective at relatively low cost of serious side effects. Almost all side effects are dose related. Minor side effects include those caused by vasodilation (flushing and headaches), constipation
BACKGROUND
Erectile dysfunction (ED) is defined as the inability to attain and/or maintain penile erection sufficient for satisfactory sexual performance. ED may also be an early sign of cardiovascular disease. The main risk factors for coronary heart disease (high LDL, smoking, hypertension,
OBJECTIVE
To retrospectively evaluate the clinical features, angiographic findings, and outcomes of children with Takayasu arteritis (TA) in Turkey.
METHODS
Clinical, laboratory, and angiographic findings and outcomes of 19 children with TA were evaluated with a retrospective chart review. The
The major antihypertensive mechanism of calcium antagonists is by decreasing the systemic vascular resistance, modified by the counter-regulatory responses of the baroreflexes and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system. In severe hypertension, the concept that calcium overload of the vascular
A 43-year-old woman was admitted due to fever, chills, and headache for several days and was diagnosed as infective endocarditis. Intraoperative transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examination confirmed severe aortic stenosis and showed relatively fresh 1.5 cm vegetation on the left coronary cusp
