180. Two patients presenting with lower extremity paralysis and abnormal electrocardiogram.

Author

Morgan, Michael D., Ligler, Adam, Boswell, Michael D., and Littmann, Laszlo

Abstract

Acute bilateral lower extremity paralysis is a medical emergency frequently caused by spinal cord pathology. A few systemic diseases including metabolic and endocrine abnormalities, however, can also present with lower extremity paralysis. In such cases, an abnormal electrocardiogram can immediately point to a likely systemic etiology. In this report, we present 2 patients with a near carbon-copy presentation where previously healthy Hispanic men woke up in the morning not being able to get out of bed because of severe lower extremity weakness. In both cases, abnormal electrocardiograms on presentation pointed to the most likely diagnosis, which was quickly confirmed by simple laboratory testing. The appropriate evaluation and management of such patients are discussed. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

191. Cardiorenal syndrome.

Author

Wynne, John, Narveson, Sara Y., and Littmann, Laszlo

Abstract

Abstract: The combination of decompensated heart failure and kidney failure is frequently referred to as the “cardiorenal syndrome.” The cause and pathophysiology of this entity are complex and poorly understood, and treatment options are limited. This report describes 2 patients who were hospitalized for decompensated heart failure and developed diuretic resistance with rapidly worsening renal function. Understanding the underlying causes helped break the cardiorenal syndrome in the first patient but only had a transient beneficial effect in the second patient. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]

Abstract

Electrocardiographic artifact is generally considered to be a nuisance. Respiratory artifact, however, is a physiologic signal that may carry useful diagnostic information. Our goal was to evaluate the characteristics, prevalence, and clinical significance of respiratory artifact observed in electrocardiograms (ECGs). ECGs exhibiting repetitive microoscillations were systematically collected. The morphologic characteristics of the microoscillations were analyzed and their association with the respiratory cycle was evaluated using simultaneous respiratory waveform tracings. The presence and rate of respiratory artifact were correlated with the patient''s clinical status, including medical diagnoses and the need for ventilatory support. During a 30-month period, respiratory artifact was detected in 320 12-lead ECGs. It was best seen in leads II, III, aVF, and V5. Respiratory artifact occurred during the inspiratory phase and its rate correlated precisely with objective measures of the respiratory rate. The majority of patients with respiratory artifact revealed diseases of the respiratory (26.6%) and circulatory systems (24.0%) and, of note, respiratory artifact was never detected in patients with normal cardiorespiratory function; 43.5% of patients with respiratory artifact required ventilatory support, including 28.2% requiring continuous mechanical ventilation. Successful treatment of the underlying condition resulted in a decrease in the rate or in complete disappearance of the respiratory artifact. In conclusion, respiratory artifact is commonly seen in routine 12-lead ECGs of hospitalized patients. It is associated with a high-risk state of increased work of breathing due to either compromised cardiac or pulmonary function. Additionally, the presence of respiratory artifact enables precise evaluation of the respiratory rate—a commonly miscalculated vital sign. [Copyright &y& Elsevier]
