Rosiglitazona e lesão vascular em coelhos hipercolesterolêmicos: avaliação da f...

FUNDAMENTO: O uso da rosiglitazona tem sido o objeto de extensas discussões. OBJETIVO: Avaliar os efeitos da rosiglitazona nas artérias ilíacas, no local da injúria e na artéria contralateral, de coelhos hipercolesterolêmicos submetidos à lesão por cateter-balão.

Obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract after mitral valvuloplasty wi...

Mitral valvuloplasty is efficient for repairing mitral valve disease with few complications. In some cases, obstruction of the left ventricular outflow tract may occur due to systolic anterior motion of the mitral valve. We report the case of a patient with this complication and a pressure gradient between the left ventricle and the aorta of 130 mm Hg after mitral valvuloplasty with implantation of a Gregori's ...

Influence of Quality of Sleep on the Nocturnal Decline in Blood Pressure During...

OBJECTIVE: To assess the influence of the quality of sleep on the nocturnal physiological drop in blood pressure during ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. METHODS: We consecutively assessed ambulatory blood pressure monitoring, the degree of tolerance for the examination, and the quality of sleep in 168 patients with hypertension or with the suspected "white-coat" effect. Blood pressure fall during sleep ass...

Fibroelastoma of the mitral valve as a cause of transient ischemic stroke

A 44-year-old woman had a transient ischemic stroke, fibroelastoma of the mitral valve being the source of the embolus. The patient evolved with neutropenia induced by ticlopidine after 10 days of treatment. We report the major clinical features, therapeutical options, and medicamentous toxicity resulting from the use of antiplatelet drugs.
