A 16-month-old Holstein heifer with a history of anorexia and respiratory distress was referred to the Veterinary Research and Teaching Hospital of Tehran University. Heart and lung sounds were inaudible on the left side but greatly increased on the right side. On electrocardiography (ECG), decreased amplitudes of ECG parameters were observed. Ultrasonography results revealed a pleural effusion...

a group of 26 patients (10 of whom were infants less than 2 years old) with normal left ventricles and in a separate group of 13 children with intrinsic myocardial disease and clinical decompensation. All patients were studied by use of biplane cineangiocardiography, and volumes were determined by the area-length method. Left ventricular end-diastolic volume in "normal" infants below 2 years of...

A study of 1,000 consecutive left heart cineangiocardiograms was made to determine the frequency of various complications. Ten per cent of angiographic procedures caused minor complications such as nausea, vomiting, transient arrhythmias, loss of pulse, or hives. Most of these complications were gone before the patient left the cardiac catheterization laboratory. Major problems were associated ...

The effect of the vasodilator prazosin vs placebo on exercise duration until marked dyspnea, and on left ventricular function measured by echocardiography, was evaluated in a double-blind, randomized study in 24 patients with chronic left ventricular failure despite digitalis and diuretic therapy. Compared with the double-blind placebo, prazosin reduced resting systolic and diastolic blood pres...

ABSTRACTThe valves of right horn of systemic venous sinus are prominent structures within the right atrium during early embryonic period. Involution of these structures may not be complete, resulting in a spectrum of anatomical presentations such as cyanosis. A full-term male neonate referred to our hospital for precise evaluation of severe cyanosis on the first day of life. Echocardiographic e...

SELECTIVE angiocardiography of the left side of the heart is of prime importance for the accurate preoperative diagnosis of those lesions involving the mitral valve, ventricular septum, outflow tract of the left ventricle, or the aorta itself. The injection of contrast medium into the pulmonary artery for the demonstration of the left atrium and left ventricle is less satisfactory than the dire...

background: recently, stem cells have been considered for the treatment of heart diseases, but no marked improvement has been recorded. this is the first study to examine the functional and histological effects of the transplantation of human amniotic mesenchymal stromal cells (hamscs) in rats with heart failure (hf). methods: this study was conducted in the years 2014 and 2015. 35 male wistar ...
