1. [Platypnea-orthodeoxia revealed by recurrent syncope episodes]

Author

R, Cheaito, H, Benamer, A, Tritar, F, Hage, F, Haziza, J-F, Piechaud, S, El-Amine, F, Medkour, M-C, Morice, and P, Jessen

Subjects
Male, Cardiac Catheterization, Dyspnea, Recurrence, Septal Occluder Device, Posture, Foramen Ovale, Patent, Humans, Hypoxia, Syncope, Ultrasonography, Interventional, Aged
Abstract

Platypnea-orthodeoxia is a rare clinical condition which must be examined as a differential diagnosis for any bout of faintness occurring during standing or dyspnea that is exacerbated by standing. This syndrome is often associated with a patent foramen ovale. Its physiopathology is not univocal and the association of many anatomical criteria seems to be mandatory. Contrast echocardiography confirms diagnosis and closure of the patent foramen ovale during interventional catheterization and is currently the therapeutic method of choice. After closure of the foramen ovale, clinical improvement is spectacular and durable.

2. ['Early repolarization'. The diagnostic pitfall of an atypical form of ST elevation]

Author

L, Gauci, F, Medkour, and D, Himbert

Subjects
Male, Electrocardiography, Humans, Thrombolytic Therapy, Middle Aged, Angina Pectoris
Abstract

The authors report the case of a coloured man who was treated with intravenous thrombolysis for chest pain and "atypical" ST elevation related to early repolarisation. The interest of this case is to underline the electrocardiographic criteria of early repolarisation and to propose, in appropriate conditions of management, emergency coronary angiography in patients with an uncertain diagnosis of infarct-like chest pain associated with suspicious electrocardiographic changes.
