We have identified and characterized a new cause of variable parasternal systolic murmurs in cats. Color Doppler echocardiography of 51 cats presented for evaluation of a cardiac murmur demonstrated a localized, turbulent systolic jet located within the right ventricular (RV) outflow region,
A 62-year-old woman presented to a primary care doctor on January 2006 due to a sore throat and high fever, and had received medication for a common cold. She was referred to our hospital in February 2006 because of additional manifestations such as painful rashes on the lower limb similar to
This study of 14 cases, found in 130 autopsies of people died in a Department of Cardio-vascular diseases, emphasizes the frequency of this lesion (10 p. 100) often ignored. Elderly people over 75 years are affected and twice more female than male. Grossly, this abnormality, responsible of a
The disease condition underlying the stenosis of the aortic valve resembles atherosclerosis and is dominated by activation of inflammatory cells, and accumulation of cholesterol and involves progressive fibrosis and calcification. Stenosis of the aortic valve may remain asymptomatic for long.
Clinical and pathologic features of three patients with chronic intrahepatic cholestasis from birth are described. Each patient exhibited a paucity and hypoplasia of interlobular bile ducts, unusual facies, short stature, a pulmonary ejection systolic murmur, and structural anomalies of vertebrae.
CASE DESCRIPTION A 2-year-old castrated male mixed-breed dog was evaluated because of a 1-week history of respiratory distress and abdominal distension. Thoracic radiography and echocardiography at that time revealed an enlarged cardiac silhouette and pericardial effusion; abdominal radiography and
Aortic stenosis is the most frequent valvular heart disease. Aortic sclerosis is the first characteristic lesion of the cusps, which is considered today as the process similar to atherosclerosis. Progression of the disease is an active process leading to forming of bone matrix and heavily calcified
A 47-year-old man with HIV infection presented 10 years after initial secondary syphilis diagnosis and treatment for routine follow-up. His HIV was well controlled on antiretroviral therapy. Rapid plasma reagin was 1:1, and TP-PA was reactive. Physical examination revealed a wide pulse pressure, a
The authors report 5 cases of annular subvalvular left ventricular idiopathic aneurysm observed within less than 4 years (April 1984 to October 1987) at the hospital of Niamey, Niger. All 5 patients were examined by echocardiography, an exploratory technique which is new for this type of disease.
Pseudoaneurysm of the left ventricle is a rare late complication of myocardial infarction. So-called non-coronary forms have been described in young people. In this context, we report three cases. Mr. M.B., aged 20, consulted for chest pain associated with palpitations. Cardiovascular examination
A 60-year-old man, suffering from sustained cough and dyspnea on effort, was diagnosed as congestive heart failure. He did not yield the history of having fever or other inflammatory events. His physical examination disclosed a pan-systolic murmur at the apex. Transthoracic color Doppler
Systolic murmurs present in 129 geriatric patients followed to post-mortem were assessed as mitral or aortic in origin by simple clinical assessment alone. Post-mortem examination contradicted clinical findings in only 2% of cases. Mitral valve pathology, mostly post-inflammatory scarring or mucoid
We performed a meta-analysis of the literature on the treatment of established rheumatic carditis to determine if corticosteroid therapy is superior to salicylates in preventing the sequela of inflammation--valvular damage. We identified 22 reports of comparative trials published since the
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this case report was to show the importance to research metabolic etiology, especially a carnitine deficiency in dilated cardiomyopathy of children.
METHODS
A three years old Togolese child presented muscular hypotonia, dyspnea. Examination showed left galop murmur and systolic
Behçet's disease is a chronic autoimmune disease with vascular complications that are most frequently manifested as thromboembolism in veins and pseudoaneurysm in arteries. We report the case of a 13-year-old boy admitted for clinical and biological signs of rheumatic fever associated with chest
