چکیده
Eight clinically proved cases of prolonged thiamine deficiency were evaluated by routine pathologic study. The msieroseopic features were evaluated by comparison with sections of myocardiuni obtained from nornmal individuals and individuals suffering from cardiac diseases of other varieties. No specific transitory or permanent alterations were demonstrable. It is concluded that beriberi heart disease is largely the result of a reversible bioehemiiical abnormalitv and is not characterized by specific pathologic lesions.

متن کاملEffect of alcohol on thiamine deficient cardiac lesions.
Experiments were carried out to study whether thiamine deficiency is connected with alcoholic heart disease or not. Thiamine deficient rats were orally given shochu, whisky and 40% ethanol either until the last stage or for 10 weeks through a stomach tube. General symptoms, electrocardiographic abnormalities, and cardiac histological and electron microscopical changes in the alcohol administere...
متن کاملAbolition of reperfusion-induced arrhythmias in hearts from thiamine-deficient rats.
Extensive work has been done regarding the impact of thiamine deprivation on the nervous system. In cardiac tissue, chronic thiamine deficiency is described to cause changes in the myocardium that can be associated with arrhythmias. However, compared with the brain, very little is known about the effects of thiamine deficiency on the heart. Thus this study was undertaken to explore whether thia...
متن کاملThiamine and Cocarboxylase Concentration
In patients with congestive heart failure, thiamine deficiency has been demonstrated by the test-dose method (1, 2), by measurement of the lactate-pyruvate ratio of the blood (3), and by determination of blood cocarboxylase (4). The oxidation of pyruvate to acetate requires thiamine in the form of cocarboxylase (thiamine pyrophosphate). Olson, Pearson, Miller, and Stare have shown that thiamine...
متن کاملThe Role of Thiamine and Effects of Deficiency in Dogs and Cats
Recent pet food recalls for insufficient dietary thiamine have highlighted the importance of adequate thiamine intake in dogs and cats, as thiamine is an essential dietary nutrient with a critical role in energy metabolism. Prolonged thiamine deficiency leads to clinical signs that can span several organ systems, and deficiency can be fatal if not reversed. In this review, the current knowledge...
