fever/infarction

Body temperature was studied in 65 patients admitted to hospital within four hours of the onset of symptoms of acute myocardial infarction. Thirty three patients had been randomly assigned to intravenous timolol treatment and 32 to placebo treatment. Infarct evolution was assessed by continuous

BACKGROUND We recently observed that cardiovascular causes of death are common in patients with hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome (HFRS), which is caused by hantaviruses. However, it is not known whether HFRS is a risk factor for the acute cardiovascular events of acute myocardial infarction

BACKGROUND Recent studies have demonstrated spontaneous and prolonged hyperthermia following stroke in both humans and rodents. However, a full characterization of these pyretic changes and the effects of anti-pyretic drugs on outcome is not available. METHODS The aims of this study were to monitor

Cerebellar acute ischemic stroke (AIS) can be a complication of minor head trauma, vertebral artery dissection, vasospasm or systemic hypoperfusion. CT scan usually is negative few hours after acute infarction. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is superior to CT scan for posterior fossa lesions and

BACKGROUND Pyrexia is often associated with unfavorable stroke outcomes. However, limited information is available on the relationship between the causes of poststroke hyperthermia and stroke prognosis, especially for mild-to-moderate neurogenic pyrexia in acute cerebral infarction. OBJECTIVE To

BACKGROUND Fever is a common finding after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). However, its prognostic value is not validated yet. OBJECTIVE This study sought to evaluate the impact of fever after PPCI in STEMI on

BACKGROUND Little is known about causality and pathological mechanism underlying association of postinfarct fever with myocardial injury in patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. RESULTS In 276 patients undergoing primary percutaneous coronary intervention for ST-segment elevation

Background: It is reported that acute cerebral infarction with adenomyosis is associated with elevated D-Dimer, elevated CA125, anemia and menstruation. However, previous reports did not notice infection known as fever, which may be a potential risk factor for

Culture negative endocarditis (CNE) is a common concern in patients with fever, heart murmur, cardiac vegetation, and negative blood cultures. The diagnosis of CNE is not based only on negative blood cultures and a cardiac vegetation. The clinical definition of CNE is based on negative blood

BACKGROUND Before introduction of reperfusion therapy, fever was frequently observed in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Little is known about this symptom during the widespread use of primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). The aim of this study was to assess, whether

Infarcted peribiliary lymph nodes were found at laparotomy in a 56-year-old man who had a fever of unknown origin and transient abdominal pain. Despite thorough clinical and laboratory investigation, a cause was not demonstrated. A review of the reported cases of idiopathic or spontaneous lymph node

We have shown that isolated blood-perfused heat-stressed hearts are protected only when the blood donor animal has not been exposed to hyperthermia. Systematic hyperthermia results in larger infarction of both isolated control and heat-stressed hearts. In this study we investigated whether

We describe a case of Q fever associated with the transient presence of antiphospholipid antibodies in a 9-year-old boy presenting with acalculous cholecystitis and splenic infarction. Antiphospholipid antibodies are commonly associated with acute Q fever in adults but have previously been thought

The Brugada syndrome is a rare condition associated with increased risk of ventricular tachyarrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD). The Brugada pattern on electrocardiogram (EKG) is known to be revealed by several precipitants including febrile illnesses. The appearance of a Brugada pattern on

Fever in the first days of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) is a very common clinical feature, being its prognostic value unquestionable. As infarction area reduction implies a less important fever reaction in the first days of AMI, we believe that thrombolytic therapy would result in a decline of
