Anomalous Origin of Left Coronary Artery from Pulmonary Artery (ALCAPA) in an Infant with Bronchiolitis and Dilated Cardiomyopathy
SUM MARY The most common cause of dilated cardiomyopathy (CMP) is viral myocarditis. However, anomalous origin of the left coronary artery is a rare condition that should be evaluated with high suspicion in the differential diagnosis of an infant with dilated CMP. With early surgical correction, an anomalous coronary artery origin has a good prognosis. Awareness of this condition is essential f...
متن کاملImmunoadsorption Therapy for Patients with Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Heart Failure
Several autoantibodies directed against cardiac cellular proteins including G-protein-linked receptors, contractile proteins and mitochondrial proteins, have been identified in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). Among these autoantibodies, anti-beta1-adrenoreceptor (AR) antibodies have long been discussed in terms of their pathogenetic role in DCM. Anti-beta1-AR antibody-positive patie...
متن کاملBiomarkers of Heart Failure in Myocarditis and Dilated Cardiomyopathy
There are many reviews that discuss the role of biomarkers in cardiovascular disease (CVD) and heart failure (Braunwald, 2008; Chen et al., 2010; Hochholzer et al., 2010), but little information exists regarding the presence and usefulness of biomarkers for heart failure in myocarditis and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) patients. Heart failure (HF) is the end consequence of many CVDs including at...
متن کاملMutations of presenilin genes in dilated cardiomyopathy and heart failure.
Two common disorders of the elderly are heart failure and Alzheimer disease (AD). Heart failure usually results from dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). DCM of unknown cause in families has recently been shown to result from genetic disease, highlighting newly discovered disease mechanisms. AD is the most frequent neurodegenerative disease of older Americans. Familial AD is caused most commonly by pr...
متن کاملTakotsubo cardiomyopathy: an uncommon cause of reversible heart failure.
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy is increasingly being diagnosed as a cause of acute coronary syndrome in postmenopausal women. It may also present as reversible acute left heart failure with an excellent prognosis for recovery. Although rare, it may be an underdiagnosed condition in the medical intensive care units among patients admitted with non-cardiac acute conditions. Therefore, intensivists must...
