We report the case of a 21-year-old male whose frequent episodes of loss of consciousness in the dental surgery culminated in the postponement of treatment, pending further investigation. The patient was referred to a cardiologist and submitted to head-up tilt testing, which evoked prolonged
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the prevalence and associated factors for syncope among patients with Ménière's disease (MD). An attack of syncope was defined as a sudden and transient loss of consciousness, which subsides spontaneously and without a localizing neurological deficit. The
A 16-year-old boy presented with tonic-clonic seizure after he woke up early in the morning. He had experienced 5-6 episodes of syncope, fatigue, weakness and somnolence one year before admission. On admission, physical examination was normal and first line laboratory tests were normal except
We report herein on a case of a 74 year old male with neurally mediated syncope caused by cervical malignant lymphoma. He visited our hospital complaining of a rapidly-growing left cervical mass. Local findings showed an elastic soft mass with tenderness in his cervical region. We performed an open
This study aimed to develop a method to distinguish between the cardiovascular reactivity in chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) and other patient populations. Patients with CFS (n = 23), familial Mediterranean fever (n = 15), psoriatic arthritis (n = 10), generalized anxiety disorder (n = 12), neurally
BACKGROUND
Studying patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), we have developed a method that uses a head-up tilt test (HUTT) to estimate BP and HR instability during tilt, expressed as a 'haemodynamic instability score' (HIS).
OBJECTIVE
To assess HIS sensitivity and specificity in the diagnosis
Background: Cardiac syncope can result from an atrial myxoma due to outflow obstruction. Myxoma is the most common primary cardiac tumor that may cause sudden death and the nonspecific symptoms may make early diagnosis difficult.
Case
Objective: To investigate if the low sodium intake is associated with the plasma carnitine and acylcarnitine profile in children with vasovagal syncope (VVS). Materials and Methods: Twenty-six children suffering from VVS were recruited in the present study and divided into a group of
Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML), a hematologic malignancy characterized by unregulated growth of myelogenous leukocytes, typically presents with symptoms of fatigue, anorexia, and splenomegaly. Laboratory studies often reveal a significant leukocytosis with neutrophilia. A moderate thrombocytosis may
A 38-year-old man with history of diabetes, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and obesity was referred to the electrophysiology clinic for evaluation of infrequent palpitations and remote history of syncope. The patient described a sensation of racing of the heart, which lasted about 30 min to 1 h and
OBJECTIVE
Orthostatic intolerance is the cause of significant disability in otherwise normal patients. Orthostatic tachycardia is usually the dominant hemodynamic abnormality, but symptoms may include dizziness, visual changes, discomfort in the head or neck, poor concentration, fatigue,
BACKGROUND
Fatigue is a significant symptom in nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) that impacts upon quality of life and is unrelated to liver disease severity. We examined the relationship between parameters of blood pressure regulation with perception of fatigue in NAFLD.
METHODS
Thirty-four
BACKGROUND
Data on the prevalence of orthostatic intolerance (OI) in patients with chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) are limited and controversial. We tested the hypothesis that a majority of CFS patients exhibit OI during head-up tilt.
METHODS
Hemodynamic and neurohumoral responses to 40 minutes of
We report the case of a 14-year-old girl who developed postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS) with chronic fatigue 2 months following Gardasil vaccination. The patient suffered from persistent headaches, dizziness, recurrent syncope, poor motor coordination, weakness, fatigue, myalgias,
Fatigue is a common and distressing but poorly understood symptom among patients with heart failure (HF). This study sought to evaluate the prevalence, predictors, and prognostic value of clinically documented fatigue in newly diagnosed HF patients from the community.
