Precordial catch syndrome.
نویسنده
چکیده
Seventeen cases of precordial "catch" are reported. The children varied in age from 8 to 16 years. The characteristics of this painful condition are discussed; in particular, the diagnostic indication of the site of the pain over an intercostal space, with the finger tip, is stressed. Anxiety in the child, or the parents, in relation to the complaint is discussed. Several methods of treatment are recommended.

Atypical Manifestation of Myocardial Ischemia in the Elderly
The absent or atypical clinical signs in elderly persons hinder the management of coronary atherosclerotic disease. The cases of myocardial ischemia without pain, the so-called asymptomatic or silent ischemia, it is more frequent in elderly patient2. Considering patients with acute coronary syndrome, as myocardial infarction with ST-segment elevation, among those under 65 years of age, only 11....
متن کاملDiffuse precordial ST-segment elevation in inferior-right myocardial infarction.
A right ventricular (RV) myocardial infarction (MI) may yield precordial ST-segment elevation (STE). Accordingly, combined inferior and precordial STE may be produced during an inferior-RV MI. Such an electrocardiographic picture may be mistakenly regarded as showing wrapped left anterior descending artery (LADA) occlusion or double vessel occlusion. We present a patient with inferior-RV MI and...
متن کاملBody surface potential mapping in patients with Brugada syndrome: right precordial ST segment variations and reverse changes in left precordial leads.
OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to perform quantitative signal analysis of high-resolution body surface potential mapping (BSPM) recordings to assess its usefulness for the electrocardiographic characterization of patients with Brugada syndrome. The diagnostic value of the QRS integral and of the gradient of the ST segment have not been elucidated in Brugada syndrome. METHODS In 27 subjec...
متن کاملT-vector direction differentiates postpacing from ischemic T-wave inversion in precordial leads.
BACKGROUND Postpacing precordial T-wave inversion (TWI), known as cardiac memory (CM), mimics ischemic precordial TWI, and there are no established ECG criteria that adequately distinguish between the two. On the basis of CM properties (postpacing sinus rhythm T vector approaching the direction of the paced QRS vector), we hypothesized that CM induced by right ventricular pacing would manifest ...
متن کاملQT-interval prolongation in right precordial leads: an additional electrocardiographic hallmark of Brugada syndrome.
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate whether the occurrence of the Brugada Syndrome typical electrocardiogram (ECG) pattern (i.e., right bundle branch block, coved-type ST-segment elevation, and T-wave inversion in the right precordial leads) is characterized by a concomitant lengthening of QT intervals in the right precordial leads. BACKGROUND It has been suggested that the typic...
