Symptomatic charcoal heart

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance of the charcoal heart

We report a case of malignant melanoma metastasis to the heart presenting as complete heart block. The highlight of the case is to demonstrate that silent cardiac metastasis is not uncommon and CMR has the potential to characterize these cardiac metastases and should be used routinely as a screening tool for those cancers with a high chance of cardiac involvement.

Charcoal-induced pseudomelanosis ilei.

outpatient department because of anal bleeding. She had been diagnosedwith ulcerative proctitis about 1 year previously and had experienced intermittent anal bleeding during treatment at a local clinic. She had no significant medication history and in particular had not used laxatives or oral iron. The initial colonoscopy revealed numerous variable-sized areas of black pigmentation in the mucos...

Wood charcoal dust pneumoconiosis.

Symptomatic and incipient congestive heart failure--the SOLVD experience.

To present results of the SOLVD 4-year clinical trials of enalapril on two groups of patients with left ventricular ejection fraction under 36%, one group with and the other group without symptomatic congestive heart failure. Observed mortality is compared with expeded mortality derived from the 1975-1980 Basic Select Tables, because of the high degree of exclusion utilized for patients with as...

Hemodynamic evaluation of glucagon in symptomatic heart disease.

surgery. When the response to glucagon was compared on the basis of functional classification, patients with class I and II heart disease had a significantly greater increase in cardiac output (+700 ml) than patients with class III and IV heart disease (+100 ml). Isoproterenol augmented cardiac output by a significantly greater amount (+2500 ml) than glucagon in eight of these patients. It is c...
