background: conventional doppler measurements, including mitral inflow and pulmonary venous flow, are used to estimate left ventricular end diastolic pressure (lvedp). however, these parameters have limitations in predicting lvedp among patients with mitral regurgitation. this study sought to establish whether the correlation between measurements derived from tissue doppler echocardiography and...

background: percutaneous balloon mitral valvotomy (bmv) is the gold standard treatment for rheumatic mitral stenosis (ms) in that it causes significant changes in mitral valve area (mva) and improves leaflet mobility. development of or increase in mitral regurgitation (mr) is common after bmv. this study evaluated mr severity and its changes after bmv in iranian patients. methods: w e prospecti...

OBJECTIVE To investigate the pathogenic factors of severe acute pancreatitis (SAP) complicated by hepatic insufficiency, the prognosis and the effective preventive and therapeutic interventions. METHODS One hundred and fifty-two patients with SAP (from January 2003 to June 2004) were divided into 2 groups, SAP with hepatic insufficiency group and SAP without hepatic insufficiency group. The r...

background: venoplasty and stenting is a minimally invasive therapy that can be used for patients with deep venous insufficiency in the lower extremities. this study aimed at investigating the effect of venoplasty and venous stenting in patients with chronic venous insufficiency in the lower limbs. methods : this prospective case-series study recruited patients with chronic deep venous insuffic...

abstract the prevalence of bilateral sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ssnhl) is less than 5% and the etiology of most cases is unknown. due to many structural and functional similarities between the kidney and inner ear, many conditions, diseases, and drugs have both renal and cochlear effects and toxicities. there are several reports of ssnhl in patients with crf, uraemic patient, hemodialys...

cystic fibrosis (cf) is an inherited disease that affects multiple organ systems. it is the most common cause of severe progressive lung disease and exocrine panceratic insufficiency. in our investigation 67 patients had cf. of these, 79% had panceratic insufficiency and 92% had lung disease under 2 years age. also 67% of patients were < 2 percentile and 28% between 3-10 percentile weight for a...

Severe aortic insufficiency may accelerate mitral valve closure. We noted this echocardiographic finding in several patients with the acute onset of severe aortic insufficiency. Accordingly, we examined our total echocardiographic series retrospectively for early closure of the mitral valve (ECMV) in the setting of aortic insufficiency and found it in 11 of 53 patients with confirmed aortic ins...
