In three substudies encompassing 247 dogs from two breeds predisposed to myxomatous mitral valve disease (MMVD), femoral artery pulse strength was palpated and related to potential explanatory factors, including quantitative echocardiographic measures of MMVD, aortic and femoral artery diameter and
Patients with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may develop severe mitral regurgitation (MR) and require valve surgery. Preliminary data suggest that high body weight and blood pressure might add to the irreversible factors of older age and male gender in increasing risk of these complications. Fifty-four
In a 3-year prospective echocardiographic study of patients with clinical features of mitral valve prolapse who presented to the cardiology clinic of the medical out patients clinic of the Lagos University Teaching Hospital comprising of sixty-two patients. The most common complaints found were
It is well known that the incidence of mitral valve prolapse is increased in various hereditary and humoral disorders, particularly in diseases with abnormal collagene structure and metabolism. We consecutively investigated, both clinically and echocardiographically, 22 patients with Klinefelter's
One hundred ninety consecutive Dachshunds >2 years of age, including 18 families consisting of both parents and 4 or more offspring, were examined clinically and echocardiographically to study the epidemiology and inheritance of mitral valve prolapse (MVP) and other signs of myxomatous mitral valve
The heart may play an active, passive, or incidental role in the pathogenesis of hypertension. Echocardiography probably contributes little to understanding of active mechanisms, although it may provide important information relative to structural and functional adaptive changes associated with
Atrial fibrillation risk has been strongly associated with increasing age and visceral obesity. These characteristics are strongly associated with diabetes, decreased heart rate variability, and chronic inflammation. Lone atrial fibrillation (LAF) on the other hand exhibits a predilection for the
The recent development of new drug therapies for headache disorders has allowed for the tailoring of treatment to specific patient needs. This paper reviews the pharmacologic management of patients with both headache and concomitant medical illness. The discussion specifically includes the treatment
The case of a 23 years old woman, affected by the Cohen syndrome, who underwent general anesthesia for extensive dental surgery, is reported. The Cohen syndrome is an autosomal recessive syndrome that causes mental retardation, obesity, short stature as well as oral, ocular, and limb anomalies. The
Cohen syndrome is a rare genetic disorder caused by autosomal recessive inheritance and is characterized by the following features: mental retardation, infantile hypotonia, micrognathia, narrow and high-arched palate, microcephaly, prominent upper central incisors, poor dentition, short stature, and
Evidence suggesting that mitral regurgitation (MR) may be induced by appetite suppressant medications heightens the importance of understanding the prevalence and correlates of MR, especially its relation to obesity, in population-based samples. MR was assessed by color Doppler echocardiography in
Sixty-one patients (pts) with sleep apnea (SA), 35 with narcolepsy (N) and 24 with idiopathic hypersomnolence (H) were studied in the Clinical Research Center. The height to body weight ratio was less than normal in SA pts (0.32 +/- 0.01 vs 0.45 +/- 0.01, p less than 0.01), but normal in N and H pts
The Cohen Syndrome is a rare genetic disorder consisting of obesity, mental retardation, limb abnormalities and characteristic craniofacial appearance. Of the seven previously reported patients, none had any cardio-vascular involvement. This report describes an affected Jewish female, who, in
OBJECTIVE
To examine the validity of the observations made by specialist corneal surgeons that there seems to be an absence or loss of older patients with keratoconus (KC).
METHODS
Using a PubMed search and key words such as KC, epidemiology, mortality, mitral valve prolapse, atopy, and asthma, the
