OBJECTIVE
Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) are very common in the general population. Atherosclerosis is the main pathogenesis. Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an autosomal recessive disease. The gene causing FMF, designated MEFV, encodes a protein called pyrin or marenostrin that is expressed
familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a hereditary, auto-inflammatory disease, characterized by recurrent, self-limiting attacks of fever with inflammation of the serosal membranes, joints, and skin. Chronic inflammation was previously associated with increased risk for ischemic heart BACKGROUND
Familial Mediterranean fever is a genetic disorder manifested by recurrent attacks of peritonitis, pleuritis and arthritis, and characterized by clinical, histological and laboratory evidence for localized and systemic inflammation. Colchicine treatment usually prevents the attacks and
OBJECTIVE
Rheumatic heart disease is still a major health problem in developing countries. The impact of coronary artery disease (CAD) on or its relation to rheumatic fever is not well established. We aimed to evaluate the prevalence of CAD and atherosclerotic risk factors in patients who underwent
The effect of pharmacologic blockade of beta-adrenoceptors on the relationship between rectal (Tre) and pulmonary artery (Tpa) temperatures was studied in six coronary artery disease patients during 30 min of exercise. Exercise was performed at a set work rate (120 W) on a cycle ergometer before and
In-stent restenosis concerning the coronary artery refers to the blood clotting-caused re-narrowing of the blocked section of the artery, which is opened using a stent. The failure rate for stents is in the range of 10% to 15%, where they do not remain open, thereby leading to about 40% of the
A 55-year-old man complaining of fever and exertional dyspnea was admitted for coronary angiography to differentiate between fulminant myocarditis and acute coronary syndrome. He had been treated for 17 years for angina pectoris. His electrocardiogram demonstrated ST segment changes in almost all
BACKGROUND
We present a very unusual case in which a high-school student was admitted to our cardiac center unconscious and intubated after suffering from out of hospital SCD. There was no history of fever, substance abuse, family history of sudden cardiac death and/or coronary artery disease,
The outline organisation of a health survey of a secondary school is presented. The aims of the survey were primarilary to provide population data on rheumatic fever in a high incidence area, and to further knowledge of the distribution of risk factors for coronary heart disease in New Zealand
The patients with chronic heart disease (265 subjects) and with little active rheumatic fever (145 subjects) received two variants of isocaloric diets which differed only in protein quota. The former diet contained the physiological norm of protein (100 g) and the latter one a higher quota (130 g).
Febrile episodes in a male patient with coronary artery disease and arteriovenous malformation of the spinal cord had been attributed to urinary-tract infections and pulmonary atelectasis. The autopsy findings, however, indicated that the fever may have been related to sarcoidosis which had not been
BACKGROUND
Rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease still remain major public health problems. With a dramatic rise in the incidence of coronary artery disease cases, the focus of the physician seems to be shifting away from rheumatic fever and rheumatic heart disease. The aim of the present
OBJECTIVE
To explore the relationship between SCN5A, SCN1b, SCN3b and GPD1L genotypes and the risk of malignant arrhythmia in patients with Brugada electrocardiographic pattern induced by fever.
METHODS
The clinical data and peripheral blood of patients with Brugada electrocardiographic pattern
Concomitant cardiovascular comorbidities in patients with cancer are not uncommon. There is limited data on the impact of cardiovascular comorbidities on in-hospital mortality in patients admitted with neutropenic fever.This is a retrospective cohort study
