mitral valve prolapse/triglyceride

Idiopathic mitral valve prolapse (IMVP) is a very common cardiac abnormality that may be linked to carnitine deficit (inadequate nutritional intake or absorption). One patient with IMVP and related symptoms that were resistant to drug therapy was fully studied. Free plasma carnitine and 24-hour free

OBJECTIVE Mitral valve prolapse is heritable and occurs frequently in the general population despite associations with mitral regurgitation and infective endocarditis, suggesting that selective advantages might be associated with mitral valve prolapse. METHODS Clinical examination and 2-dimensional

Epidemiologic differences in ischemic heart disease incidence between women and men remain largely unexplained. The reasons of women's "protection" against coronary artery disease (CAD) are not still clear. However, there are subsets more likely to die of a first myocardial infarction. The purpose

There are no ready explanations for differences in ischemic heart disease incidence between women and men under an epidemiological perspective. However, when myocardial infarction occurs, there are more likely individuals who happen to die. This review from a more recent literature was performed for

The risk factors of ischemic cerebrovascular disorders in 77 young patients (< or = 40 years) were compared to those in 138 older patients (> 40 years). The risk factor profile of patients with juvenile stroke was considerably different from that of older patients. Migrainous headache and mitral
