Supravalvular aortic stenosis is a less common form of left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO); commonest being the valvular aortic stenosis followed by valvular and subvalvular forms respectively. Most of the supravalvular aortic stenosis is associated with Williams syndrome; isolated
Calcinated aortic stenosis developing in the elderly is erroneously referred to atherosclerotic lesion of the valve or is thought to be rheumatic heart defect undetected previously. The atherosclerotic hypothesis is rejected by foreign investigated while a conception of postrheumatic damage is
BACKGROUND
We have been intrigued by the observation that aortic stenosis (AS) may be associated with characteristic features of mitral drug-induced valvular heart disease (DI-VHD) in patients exposed to valvulopathic drugs, thus suggesting that beyond restrictive heart valve regurgitation,
A previously well 62-year-old male from North Queensland presented with leptospirosis featuring fever, renal failure, hepatitis and pulmonary haemorrhage. Management was greatly complicated by severe and previously unrecognized aortic stenosis with a peak valve gradient of 125 mmHg. A successful
Background. Although our comprehension of nonrheumatic aortic stenosis (NRAS) has increased substantially during the last decade, less is known about the histopathology of rheumatic aortic stenosis (RAS). The aim of this study was to investigate rheumatic aortic stenosis by means of analyses
The shifting age demographic of the adult population has affected every area of contemporary medical and surgical practice. Many more people are living well, not just into their 70s but into their 80s and beyond. Their expectations of treatment for every illness have shifted markedly upwards at the
OBJECTIVE
The objective was to study the profile of acute rheumatic fever (ARF) at high and low altitudes (hot and temperate areas respectively) with particular attention to the influence of these differences on the frequency or severity of carditis.
METHODS
Thirty eight children with initial attack
BACKGROUND
Recurrent episodes of acute rheumatic fever (RF) can lead to rheumatic heart disease with considerable disability and mortality in children. RF can recur in the absence of secondary prophylaxis. The differences in clinical manifestations and outcome between first-episode and recurrent RF
The gross surgical pathologic features of the aortic valve were reviewed in 374 patients who had had clinically pure aortic stenosis and aortic valve replacement at our institution during the years 1965, 1970, 1975, and 1980. The most common cause of aortic stenosis, accounting for 46% of our cases,
This report describes 30 patients under the age of 30 years with rheumatic aortic stenosis, presenting with combined aortic and mitral stenosis. Three patients had additional tricuspid stenosis. Twenty-eight patients gave a history of rheumatic polyarthritis. The diagnosis was confirmed by right and
A 38-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of a heart murmur and mild fever. Physical examination disclosed a systolic murmur of grade 3/6 at the apex and a diastolic murmur of grade 4/6 at the 2nd intercostal space of the left sternal border. The chest radiograph revealed mild
OBJECTIVE
We report a rare complication--stenosis of the proximal anastomotic site caused by an inside felt strip--in surgery for acute type A aortic dissection.
METHODS
Eight weeks after the emergent repair, the patient suffered from anemia and persistent high-grade fever. Computed tomography and
Fistula formation between the aorta and cardiac chamber is a rare complication of the ascending aortic aneurysm. A 27 year-old man undergoing successful patch aortoplasty for supravalvular aortic stenosis 12 years before admission had a high fever, infectious signs in blood laboratory data, and
A 91-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital for treatment of congestive heart failure with severe aortic stenosis. After admission, she developed a high fever due to pneumonia and worsened heart failure. We could not perform transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) because of active
