Evolution of the stone heart after prolonged cardiac arrest.
OBJECTIVES We hypothesized that progressive impairment in diastolic function during cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) precedes evolution of the "stone heart" after failure of CPR. We therefore measured sequential changes in left ventricular (LV) volumes and free-wall thickness of the heart during CPR in an experimental model. DESIGN Prospective, observational animal study. SETTING Medical...
متن کاملExercise and heart disease: cardiac findings in fatal cycle accidents.
BACKGROUND Regular cyclists have been found to have a lower incidence of coronary events (CHD) than the general public. Non-invasive studies have found that competitive cyclists develop a cardiac hypertrophy that is physiological and reversible. METHODS To obtain pathological support for these observations, the postmortem findings of 32 cyclists killed in accidents have been compared with tho...

متن کاملFatal cardiac thromboembolism in a patient with a pacemaker during ureteroscopic lithotripsy for ureter stone: a case report
Intracardiac thrombosis is an infrequent and fatal complication in patients with an inserted pacemaker. A patient with an inserted pacemaker scheduled for ureter stone removal experienced cardiac arrest and cardiopulmonary resuscitation under general anesthesia. Echocardiography showed multiple intracardiac thrombi. Preoperative diagnostic workup including echocardiography for the detection of ...
متن کاملDinosaur with a heart of stone.
Comparative anatomists since the time of Richard Owen (1) have observed that birds and crocodilians have a four-chambered heart and have speculated that such a heart was present in extinct archosaurs as well. Until recently, no direct evidence of the cardiovascular system had been reported in any archosaur fossil. Fisher et al. (2), however, using computerized tomography (CT) scanning, reported...
