Abstract

Purpose: Deformation analysis from 3D echocardiography results in a considerable amount of parameters, for which the conventional statistical approach is cumbersome. We investigate local motion and deformation patterns to determine the parameters of relevance for the study of LV myocardial deformation in the presence of LAD infarct. Methods: The study included 46 patients acquired at max. 5 days after LAD infarct (37 sequences) and at 1-year follow-up (33 sequences), and 46 controls. Patients were selected if they had a LVEF

Abstract

The authors' aim is to outline some of the main medico-legal problems in cardiology, especially those regarding the premature hospital discharge of patients with undefined chest pain and/or with acute myocardial infarction. After a brief overview on the etiology and clinical definition of chest pain and myocardial infarction, premature hospital discharge is defined and the incidental medico-legal risks that physicians operating in such situations are exposed to are pointed out. Next, the profiles regarding both the positive and negative views of professional medical responsibility are described. In the negative frame, the authors outline the most frequent civil and penal aspects of the unpremeditated responsibility. Then the physician's error, in both qualitative (generic or specific guilt) and quantitative (degree) terms, is considered; particularly, negligence, imprudence and inexperience, as qualitatively accepted meanings of generic guilt, are dealt with by adopting illustrative cases settled in the light of the right legal interpretation. The phases of the diagnostic or prognostic error are evaluated, and clinical protocols, as a reference parameter for the identification of error, are considered. Lastly, the problem of causality, essential condition for the judgment about the professional responsibility, and the problem of the patient's consent, including an evaluation of the legal capability or incapability about the declaration of consent, are examined closely.

Abstract

We tested the hypothesis that coronary flow reserve (CFR) in the left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) as assessed by a new noninvasive method (contrast-enhanced transthoracic second harmonic echo Doppler) is in agreement with CFR measurements assessed by intracoronary Doppler flow wire.Contrast-enhanced transthoracic second harmonic echo Doppler is a novel noninvasive method to detect blood flow velocity and reserve in the LAD. However, it has not yet been validated versus a gold-standard method.Twenty-five patients undergoing CFR assessment in the LAD by Doppler flow wire were also evaluated by contrast-enhanced transthoracic Doppler to record blood flow in the distal LAD at rest and during hyperemia obtained by adenosine i.v. infusion. In five patients CFR was evaluated twice (before and after angioplasty).As a result of the combined use of i.v. contrast and second harmonic Doppler technology, feasibility in assessing coronary flow reserve equaled 100%. The agreement between the two methods was high. In fact, in all but five patients the maximum difference between the two CFR measurements was 0.38. Overall, the prediction (95%) interval of individual differences was -0.69 to +0.72. Reproducibility of CFR measurements was also high. The limits of the agreement (95%) between the two measurements were -0.32 to +0.32.Coronary flow reserve in the LAD as assessed by contrast-enhanced transthoracic echo Doppler along with harmonic mode concurs very closely with Doppler flow wire CFR measurements. This new noninvasive method allows feasible, reliable and reproducible assessment of CFR in the LAD.

Abstract

The authors report a case of benign solitary cecal ulcer, occurred recently to their observation and diagnosed during operation. The patient was undergo an operation of right hemicolectomy. The preoperative diagnosis of lesion kind and its localization is difficult because it's a rare disease as well as literature reports; in fact the benign solitary colon ulcer can be differentiated with difficult from a perforated appendicitis, an inflammatory disease and a colon carcinoma. The authors discuss about probable etiologic factors, clinical features and surgical treatment.

Abstract

The Authors discuss etiology, clinical picture, diagnostic and therapeutic possibilities of intestinal volvulus, an uncommon disease in Europe, thinking of a case of primitive small intestine volvulus, recently observed, and considering the literature. The Authors have come to the conclusion that in all the cases of intestinal occlusion, in emergency hospitalization, it is important to suspect the intestinal volvulus and to operate on the patient urgently to avoid the raise of postoperative mortality in all the cases complicated with intestinal gangrene.

Abstract

Twelve hypertensive subjects were treated for 2 weeks with the dihydropyridine calcium channel antagonist nicardipine (40 mg daily) according to a double-blind, placebo-controlled study protocol. Nicardipine treatment significantly decreased systolic and diastolic blood pressure and increased plasma noradrenaline levels measured at supine rest. However, the treatment significantly inhibited the physiological increase of circulating neurotransmitter following sympathetic stimulation induced by orthostatism. These results suggest that dihydropyridine-sensitive calcium channels may modulate the noradrenaline release from nerve terminals of the peripheral sympathetic nervous system.

Abstract

The effect of the intravenous administration of dihydroergotoxine (6 micrograms/kg) on arterial blood pressure, heart rate, and plasma concentrations of norepinephrine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (the deaminated dopamine metabolite) was studied in 20 subjects with essential hypertension (8 men and 12 women aged 32-68 years old, World Health Organization Class I-II). In supine resting subjects, dihydroergotoxine significantly decreased systolic blood pressure (from 175 +/- 5 to 156 +/- 4 mm Hg; p less than 0.001), diastolic blood pressure (from 109 +/- 4 to 95 +/- 3 mm Hg; p less than 0.001), and heart rate (from 71 +/- 2 to 63 +/- 2 beats/min; p less than 0.001) as compared with the results of placebo treatment. Moreover, dihydroergotoxine reduced plasma levels of norepinephrine (from 368 +/- 39 to 238 +/- 33 pg/ml; p less than 0.001) and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid (from 1.57 +/- 0.21 to 1.22 +/- 0.13 ng/ml; p less than 0.01). The time course of the blood pressure decrease paralleled that of plasma norepinephrine concentration. Dihydroergotoxine did not suppress the cardiovascular and plasma norepinephrine concentration. Dihydroergotoxine did not suppress the cardiovascular and plasma norepinephrine response to standing. The effect of domperidone, a peripheral presynaptic dopamine receptor antagonist, on dihydroergotoxine response was studied in six of the 20 subjects (3 men and 3 women 48-64 years old). The intravenous administration of domperidone (0.3 mg/kg) prevented the dihydroergotoxine-induced reduction in blood pressure and heart rate and the fall in plasma norepinephrine and 3,4-dihydroxyphenylacetic acid levels. Domperidone administered alone failed to significantly modify any measured variables.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract

To assess the type and degree of cardiovascular involvement in the early phases of hypertension, 46 adolescents with casual blood pressure (BP) greater than the 95th percentile for age and sex (23 males and 23 females, mean age 14 years) were studied by M-mode echocardiography. Twenty-seven adolescents with casual BP about the 50th percentile, 17 males and 10 females, matched for age, were studied as controls. Adolescents with casual high BP values showed an increase in left ventricular mass (P less than 0.01) and wall thickness to radius (h:R) ratio (P less than 0.01) in comparison to controls. Cardiac index was increased and was correlated with left ventricular mass in hypertensive subjects (P less than 0.05). The correlation between cardiac output and left ventricular mass suggests that cardiac output is a factor in the development of left ventricular hypertrophy.

Abstract

A rare case of amiodarone-iodine-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIIT) associated with nonthyroidal illness is reported. Serum total thyroxine (TT4) and free T4 (FT4) concentrations were elevated and serum TSH was undetectable as frequently observed also in euthyroid amiodarone-treated patients. At variance with common forms of AIIT, serum total triiodothyronine (TT3) was reduced due to low-T3 syndrome. The laboratory diagnosis was made on the basis of elevated free T3 (FT3) levels. Thus, in patients with severe nonthyroidal illness submitted to chronic amiodarone treatment, thyroid status can only be determined by free hormone measurement, particularly FT3 in the case of thyrotoxicosis.
