introduction brugada syndrome (brs) is an autosomal-dominant inherited cardiac arrhythmia that occurs due to sodium channelopathy and increases sudden cardiac death due to episodes of polymorphic ventricular tachyarrhythmia. it is characterized by st-segment elevation in the right precordial leads and right bundle branch block (rbbb) pattern. we herewith present a case of brugada syndrome with ...

abstract background: acute coronary syndrome is one of the major cardiovascular diseases that leads to a significant amount of morbidity. the purpose of the present study was to investigate the effect of cardiac rehabilitation on quality of life in patients with acute coronary syndrome. materials and methods: this was a clinical trial study conducted on 50 patients with acute coronary syndrome ...

marfan’s syndrome (mfs) is a genetic disorder associated with autosomal dominant inheritance. in mfs, the most prevalent cause of death is cardiovascular involvement. here we introduce a family with a severe penetration of mfs. eleven members of this family have mfs (father, two daughters, three sons, and five grandchildren). the most common cardiac involvement in our patients was mitral valve ...

Marked Na(+)/Li(+) countertransport hyperactivity and post-load hyperinsulinaemia have been described in 93% of patients with cardiac syndrome X. We hypothesized that more complex abnormalities in Na(+) traffic across the cell membrane are present in these patients. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the activities of the two main transporters responsible for transmembrane Na(+) trans...

A 75-year-old man with cardiac amyloidosis was presumptively diagnosed as having cardiac syndrome X. Early clinical presentation was repeated episodes of angina pectoris without angiographically significant stenosis of the coronary arteries, so the diagnosis of cardiac syndrome X was initially given. However, his anginal symptoms worsened despite appropriate medication. He developed congestive ...

TOPIC: Cardiovascular Disease TYPE: Original Investigations PURPOSE: A 53-year-old post-menopausal female with no past medical history presented typical chest pain, dyspnea and dizziness. METHODS: Patient was found to have elevated troponin ST depression she taken for angiography when repeat had tripled. RESULTS: Her cardiac workup included a normal echo as well clean cath excluding atheroscler...

the ellis-van creveld (evc) syndrome is a chondroectodermal dysplasia and is characterized by the cardinal features of disproportionate short stature, polydactyly, hidrotic ectodermal dysplasia, and congenital heart malformations, along with other skeletal and dental abnormalities. it is a rare condition, with very few cases reported in the medical literature. it is inherited as an autosomal re...
