Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) is a clinical syndrome of which mitral regurgitation and congestive heart failure are the late sequelae. It can be usually diagnosed by echocardiography. In this study, we reevaluated the patients with acute rheumatic fever (ARF) who were followed-up regularly for aspects
It is known that rheumatic heart disease frequently results in isolated mitral regurgitation without concomitant mitral stenosis, especially in countries with a high prevalence of rheumatic fever. However, more recent surgical pathologic data also have demonstrated a high incidence of mitral valve
To determine whether rheumatic fever is associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP) diagnosed by echocardiography, records from 561 subjects participating in a prospective family study were reviewed. The prevalence of a history of rheumatic fever by modified Jones criteria was determined in 92
Heritable disorders of connective tissue (HDCT) are associated with morphological and functional disorders of different organs and systems. The aim of our study was to determine the clinical signs of heritable disorders of connective tissue and oxyproline levels in children with acute A 56-year-old female had pure regurgitation in all cardiac valves. Color Doppler echocardiography showed a regurgitant jet in all cardiac valves. The severity of regurgitation due to the prolapse in all valves was moderate. The patient had no history of rheumatic fever, ischemic heart disease,
A 12 years boy presented with the history of pallor for one month. Two days before hospitalisation he developed fever, cough, shortness of breath. He had past history of such episode. On examination, his heart rate was found to be 120/minute, respiratory rate 40/minute and moderate anaemia was
An association between rheumatic fever/rheumatic heart disease and mitral prolapse has been suggested. Since mitral stenosis in adults is a reliable indicator of rheumatic heart disease, we undertook this study to define the association between rheumatic heart disease and prolapse by estimating the
BACKGROUND
There are many surgical procedures to treat posthysterectomy vaginal vault prolapse. Abdominal sacral colpopexy is one of these procedures. The aim of this study was to review the cases of 85 consecutive patients treated by this technique since 1978 by the same surgical team using the
OBJECTIVE
To describe cases of rheumatic carditis with echocardiographic aspects of prolapse or rupture of mitral structures.
METHODS
We described 16 cases of acute carditis (ages between 5-15 years). In 10 (group 1) there was aspect of mitral prolapse, in 6 (group 2) aspect of "flail". The
OBJECTIVE
The aim of this study was to evaluate the long-term results of a laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy for the treatment of vaginal vault prolapse.
METHODS
Between January 1999 and January 2007, 165 laparoscopic sacrocolpopexy procedures, using a polypropylene mesh, were performed on women affected
Objective: To evaluate the clinical effect after laparoscopic sacral colpopexy (LSC) of combined transabdominal-transvaginal approach on stage Ⅳ pelvic organs prolapse (POP). Methods: The clinical data of 65 patients undergoing LSC of combined transabdominal-transvaginal approach from
There were 15 patients under 15 years of age with cases of acute rheumatic fever diagnosed by revised Jones criteria admitted to pediatric department, Chang Gung Memorial Hospital of Kaohsiung from Jan. 1986 through Dec. 1989. There were 11 boys and 4 girls. The age of onset was more commonly
The term mitral valve prolapse is used to describe either one of the pathophysiological mechanisms of mitral regurgitation or a distinct biological condition with a defined inherited basis, with or without mitral incompetence. In the former case, association with rheumatic fever is implied by the
OBJECTIVE
The study aim was to describe the clinical spectrum and mechanism of acute severe mitral regurgitation (MR) observed during first episodes of rheumatic fever (RF), and to identify prognostic factors related to the short-term outcome.
METHODS
Since 1990, 44 patients (mean age 9.2 +/- 0.1
