الوصف: Background The long‐term risk of stroke after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) complicated with new‐onset atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unclear. The aim of this study was to determine the long‐term risk of AF and stroke in patients with AMI complicated with new‐onset AF. Methods Patients with AMI complicated with new‐onset AF (n = 260) and those without new‐onset AF (n = 292) were followed for a mean of 7 years. All patients had sinus rhythm at hospital discharge. Results During the follow‐up, AMI patients with new‐onset AF had more frequent AF than those without new‐onset AF (10.4% vs 2.7%, respectively; P < 0.0001). New‐onset AF during AMI was a significant predictor of subsequent AF occurrence (the time elapsing between 2 consecutive R waves [RR] = 3.15, P = 0.004); but AF recurrence in follow‐up (RR = 5.08, P = 0.001) and non‐anticoagulation at discharge (RR = 0.29, P = 0.008) were independent predictors of stroke (Cox regression analysis). A period of 3.5 hours of AF within the first 48 hours of AMI was the high sensitivity cut‐off level for the prediction of low long‐term risk of stroke obtained by receiver operating characteristic analysis. Among patients who did not receive anticoagulants at discharge, the patients with short AF did not experience stroke and AF recurrence during follow‐up, while those in the other group developed it (10.8%, P = 0.038 and 13.5%, P = 0.019, respectively). Conclusion New‐onset AF during AMI identifies the patients at long‐term risk for stroke who may potentially benefit from anticoagulant therapy. Atrial fibrillation recurrence in follow‐up was independently related to the development of stroke. However, for low‐risk patients with AF (those with short AF occurring early in AMI) long‐term anticoagulants might not be required. Copyright © 2009 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

الوصف: Source of support: Self financing Summary Background: Metabolic syndrome (MS) is a clustering of cardiovascular risk factors responsible for the development of target organ damage. The aim of this study was to determine the effect of the increasing number of MS risk factors on left ventricular function assessed by noninvasive methods. Material/Methods: The study included 204 subjects with MS and 76 controls with no MS risk factors. MS was defined by the presence of 3 or more of ATP-NCEP III criteria. MS subjects were grouped according to the number of criteria they fulfilled: 3 criteria (n=91), 4 criteria (n=65) and 5 criteria (n=48). All sub jects underwent laboratory blood tests, complete 2-dimensional, pulse and tissue Doppler echocardiography. Echocardiography was used to assess systolic (LVEF, s septal ), diastolic function, by pulse-wave Doppler (E/A ratio) and tissue Doppler imaging (E/e’ average ), and global left ventricular function (Tei index). Appropriate time intervals for the estimation of the Tei index were obtained by tissue Doppler. Results: Transmitral E/A ratio decreased significantly and progressively from the 3 criteria to the 5 criteria group (0.82±0.25 vs. 0.79±0.24 vs. 0.67±0.14, p

الوصف: Introduction. Nebivolol, a third-generation beta-blocker (BB) shows a highly selective beta-blockade and specific vasodilating effects due to getting free nitro-oxide from the dysfunctional endothelium. Objective. The aim of the study was to investigate the antihypertensive effect of nebivolol in patients with arterial hypertension (AH) of both sexes. Methods. Systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), heart rate and serum glycemia, creatinin, cholesterol and trygliceride were measured after a 6-week treatment with a single 5 mg dose of nebivolol once daily so as to assess its efficacy and metabolic effects, as well as its tolerance by using a questionnaire answered by physicians and patients. Results. Out of 520 patients with mild or moderate AH, 430 (82.7%) were treated with nebivolol as monotherapy. After a 6-week treatment with nebivolol, with very good tolerability and neutral metabolic effects, systolic BP was significantly decreased (in male from initial 165?19 to 129?12 mm Hg, and female from initial 169?22 to 132?15 mm Hg at the end of the study; average decrease 22.3%, p

الوصف: Background/Aim. The incidence of difficult intubation (DI) is 1-10%, and DI leading to inability to intubate occurs in 0.04% of the population. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of DI in thyroid surgery and to assess possible correlation of difficult tracheal intubation with sex and primary diagnosis. Methods. We studied 2 000 consecutive patients (1 705 females) scheduled for thyroid surgery who were assessed for DI prior to general anesthesia, with respect to primary disease diagnosis and sex. Patients were divided into four groups: patients with nodal goiter (group A), polynodal goiter (group B), hyperthyroidism (group C) and thyroid carcinoma (group D). Difficult intubation was predicted using the scoring system which included 13 parameters ranged from 0 to 2. Additive score > 5 was accepted as a predictor of DI. True DI was defined as impossible visualization of glottis with direct laryngoscopy (grade III and IV). Results. Difficult intubation was observed in 110/2 000 patients (5.5%). The incidence of DI was higher in males (26/295, 8.8%) then females (84/1 705, 4.9%) (p < 0.01). The incidence of DI was highest in the group B (6.2%). Extremely DI occurred in 15/2000 patients (0.75%), the most of them in the group C (1.1%). Sensitivity of used scoring system was 91.8% and specificity 86.5%. Conclusions. The incidence of DI was highest in patients with polynodal goiter but extremely DI was present mostly in patients with hyperthiroidism. Men seem to be at higher risk for DI than women. Scoring system used in this study for prediction of DI may be useful in this patient population.

الوصف: Cardiac myxomas are benign tumors of endocardial origin. Symptoms might mimic heart disease as well as infectious disease, immunodeficiency, and malignant processes. We present the case of a 59-year-old female patient with a large right ventricular myxoma that was connected to the basal interventricular septum. Movement in systole provoked the obstruction of the right ventricular outflow tract. She presented clinically with syncope, systolic murmur, and signs of right heart failure. The diagnosis of the right ventricular tumor was based on 2D echocardiography, magnetic resonance, and multislice computed tomography findings. Emergency surgical excision of the myxoma was necessary to prevent embolism and sudden death.

الوصف: Background. The accumulation of risk factors for central retinal artery occlusion can be seen in a single person and might be explained by the metabolic syndrome. Case report. We presented the case of a 52-year-old man with no light perception in his right eye. The visual loss was monocular and painless, fundoscopy showed central retinal artery occlusion and the laboratory investigation showed the raised erythrocyte sedimentation rate of 105 mm/h and the raised C-reactive protein of 22 mg/l. Specific laboratory investigations and fluorescein angiography excluded the presence of vasculitis, collagen vascular diseases, hypercoagulable state and antiphospholipid syndrome. Conclusion. The patient met all the five of the National Cholesterol Education Program (NCEP) criteria for the metabolic syndrome: hypertension, abnormal lipid profile, abnormal glucose metabolism, obesity and hyperuricemia. Measurement of C-reactive protein is useful for the assessment of therapeutic systemic effect on any abnormality in the metabolic syndrome. Individual therapy for all risk factors in the metabolic syndrome is necessary to prevent complications such as cardiovascular, retinal vascular diseases and stroke.

الوصف: The deleterious effects of free radicals in acute myocardial ischaemia/reperfusion are rather well known. However, the possibility that thrombolysis positively affects the recovery of blood antioxidant capacity in the later postinfarction period, and thus contributes to the better overall outcome of these patients, has not yet been investigated. We followed the time course of erythrocyte antioxidant activity in 45 patients with first acute myocardial infarction (AMI), who were treated with streptokinase. Success of thrombolysis was evaluated by noninvasive clinical signs of reperfusion using continuous vector cardiography. The patients were divided into two groups according to successful or unsuccessful, reperfusion, The control group consisted of 24 healthy subjects. Glutathione peroxidase (GPX) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined immediately after admittance to the hospital (0 hours) and after subsequent thrombolytic therapy (1.5, 6, 12, and 24 hours after initiation of infusion of streptokinase), and 2, 4, and 8 days after AMI. Patients with AMI had decreased antioxidant enzyme activity at the time of admit- tance to the hospital, showing that the oxidative/antioxidative balance is disturbed early during the ischemic phase of AMI. In AMI patients without successful reperfusion, erythrocyte antioxidant enzyme activity remains low during the postinfarction period of 7 days. It can be concluded that prolonged ischemia reduces antioxidant enzyme activity. AMI patients with successful reperfusion have a significant rise in the activity of antioxidant enzymes within the first hours after thrombolysis, followed by a decrease until the third postinfarction day. During the subsequent postinfarction period, erythrocyte antioxidant activity gradually recovered and reached control levels. These beneficial effects of reperfusion on erythrocyte antioxidant status might contribute to the better overall prognosis of these patients.
