Acute or chronic pancreatitis as a trigger of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) has been infrequently described in the literature. Misdiagnosis of this phenomenon can often occur due to overlap in symptomology, particularly in those outside of the usual. A 50-year-old man with a hist...
Ischemic cardiomyopathyClinical symptoms of acute or chronic myocardial ischemia due to congenital coronary anomalies occasionally develop during adult life. While several types of coronary anomalies have been already reported, origin of the coronary arteries outside of the ascending aorta and pulmonary ...

An interplay of pathophysiological processes associated with the chronic kidney disease milieu contribute to the pathogenesis of CKD-associated cardiomyopathy. These can be broadly divided into factors which increase afterload, preload, and those which result from maladaptive perturbations of intrinsic factors...
Cardiac Troponin T: Its Role in the Diagnosis of Clinically Suspected Acute Myocarditis and Chronic Dilated Cardiomyopathy in Children This study was conducted to assess the use of the serum cardiac troponin T (cTnT) level as a noninvasive indicator to differentiate acute myocarditis and c... J...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a complex condition with a prevalence of 10–15% worldwide. An inverse-graded relationship exists between cardiovascular events and mortality with kidney function which is independent of age, sex, and other risk factors. T
Accordingly, concern has been raised that chronic right ventricular apical pacing can result in left ventricular dyssynchrony, which leads to a further reduction in stroke volume and cardiac output. Some centers favor the use of biventricular pacing when a pacing indication is present. When patients...
Acute myopathy of intensive care: Clinical, electromyographic, and pathological aspects An acute myopathy of intensive care occurs in critically ill patients treated with intravenous corticosteroids and neuromuscular junction-blocking agents. ... Dr,David,Lacomis,... - 《Annals of Neurology》 被引量:...
Conversely, chronic cardiotoxicity, although significantly less prevalent than acute cardiotoxicity, is currently irreversible (6), has an appreciably poorer prognosis (7), and usually presents months or even years after treatment is completed (8). In the initial stages, chronic cardiotoxicity typically...
In the heart, acute activation of the HBP in response to ischaemia-reperfusion injury appears to be protective. Conversely, chronic activation of the HBP in the diabetic heart affects Ca2+ handling, contractile properties, and mitochondrial function and promotes stress signaling, such as left ventric...
