Transient left ventricular systolic dysfunction mimicking myocardial infarction after pericardiocentesis
A 69-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of weight loss and progressively worsening dyspnoea. Her previous medical history was unremarkable. She was admitted to the internal medicine department. A cardiologist was consulted because of atrial fibrillation with rapid ventricular response and an enlarged cardiac silhouette on her chest Xray. On physical examination her blood pressu...
متن کاملHydrallazine alone in acute left ventricular failure.
Introduction The potent loop diuretics have an unrivalled place in the management of acute left ventricular failure (LVF). Few situations can be envisaged in which one of these agents cannot be given, although the therapeutic response may in many cases be poor (e.g. in renal failure). There seems little need for alternative agents to fulfil the role of loop diuretics, although the vasodilators ...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Size after Acute Myocardial Infarction
The distance from the midline to the left heart border measured in a standardized manner on calibrated chest roentgenograms was determined serially in 125 patients after acute myocardial infarction. This external left heart dimension (LHD) was compared to the normal value, and its prognostic value was assessed during early and late follow-up periods (average 10, range 2-31 months). Within 96 ho...
متن کاملSevere perioperative bleeding in renal cell carcinoma after elective pericardiocentesis associated left ventricular puncture: case report.
In the United States during the year 2015, approximately 61,560 patients are expected to be diagnosed with kidney cancer and 14,080 to die from the disease. We present the case of a patient with renal cell carcinoma who suffered severe perioperative bleeding and coagulopathy after emergency sternotomy. We also engage in relevant aspects of perioperative anesthesia care including the considerati...
متن کاملOxidative stress correlates with left ventricular volume after acute myocardial infarction.
It has been suggested that oxidative stress may play a role in the pathophysiology of heart failure. However, little is known about the clinical relationship between oxidative stress and left ventricular dilatation after acute myocardial infarction (AMI). We prospectively studied 28 consecutive patients, successfully treated with primary coronary angioplasty, after their first AMI. To evaluate ...
