6. Surgical resection in idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis with a combined approach through aorta and left ventricle

Author

Agnew, T.M., Barratt-Boyes, B.G., Brandt, P.W.T., Roche, A.H.G., Lowe, J.B., and O’Brien, K.P.

Abstract

The operative technique and the immediate and long-term results are described in 49 patients who have undergone myectomy for IHSS. There was a 4 percent early and 12 percent late mortality rate and surviving patients have been followed for up to 13 years. The operation has resulted in a striking symptomatic improvement in most patients in association with relief of outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation. Chronic atrial fibrillation was poorly tolerated but has not occurred as a late complication in any of the patients operated upon.

7. Antinuclear antibodies in patients receiving non-practolol beta-blockers.

Author

Wilson, J.D., Bullock, Jocelyn Y., Sutherland, D.C., Main, C., and O'Brien, K.P.

Subjects
ANTINUCLEAR factors, PRACTOLOL, ANTIHYPERTENSIVE agents
Abstract

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) were found in 54 (7.0%) out of 767 treated hypertensive patients compared with 59 (2.4%) out of 2470 healthy controls. Inclusion of a non-practolol beta-blocker in the treatment regimen did not significantly affect the incidence of ANA. ANA was found in significantly more patients being treated with methyldopa (13.0%) than patients receiving other hypotensive agents (3.8%). Non-practolol beta-blockers in combination with methyldopa did not increase the incidence of ANA further. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
