Fragmented QRS and myocardial performance index in nephrotic syndrome
The recent report on “Fragmented QRS and myocardial performance index in nephrotic syndrome” published is very interesting (1). Özkan et al. (1) concluded that the “determination of fQRS in patients with nephrotic syndrome (NS) in surface ECG, an easily accessible technique, can be used as a parameter in the prediction of myocardial functions.” In fact, it is already known that “fQRS may be use...
متن کاملAcute Myocardial Infarction in Nephrotic Syndrome.
A 28 year old male, known case of nephrotic syndrome since 12 years, hypertensive presented with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and accelerated hypertension. Coronary angiography revealed 100% thrombotic occlusion of mid left anterior descending artery, treated with thrombus aspiration and intracoronary tirofiban and nitroglycerine. He was stabilized within 24 hours. The pathogenesis of AMI ...
متن کاملDoppler-Derived Myocardial Performance Index in Healthy Children in Shiraz
Background: Assessment of myocardial function is essential in heart disease, but in regard to systolic and diastolic functions such evaluation has limitation. Ejection fraction is difficult to assess in abnormally-shaped ventricles, and diastolic inflow velocity pattern may be fused because of tachycardia. Objective: A myocardial performance index (MPI) or Tei index has been developed for adult...
متن کاملSimvastatin in nephrotic syndrome. Simvastatin in Nephrotic Syndrome Study Group.
BACKGROUND Hyperlipidemia of the nephrotic syndrome is a risk factor for the development of systemic atherosclerosis, but it also may aggravate glomerulosclerosis and enhance the progression of glomerular disease. HMG-CoA reductase inhibitors are effective in reducing cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Whether they may influence the progression of glomerular disease is not clear. The Simva...
متن کاملMyocardial Performance Index in Neurocardiogenic Syncope Patients
BACKGROUND Many syncopes resulting from neural reflexes in various conditions are called neurocardiogenic syncope (NCS). We aimed to investigate the presence of left ventricular (LV) myocardial performance index (MPI) in patients with NCS, which was diagnosed with head-up tilt table test (HUTT), and the accurateness of the test in order to use it as a method in patients with NCS. Assuming the M...
