Editorial: Current trends in the treatment of supraventricular tachycardia in pediatric age

2008

In pediatric age supraventricular tachiarrhythmias represent one of the most common cause of admission in cardiology units. Supraventricular arrhythmias may significantly influence the normal growth of a child with significant psycho-social implications. Pediatric cardiologists should be aware about the arrhythmias they face in their clinical practice. Moreover, they should know the possible risks related to specific arrhythmias and use the most efficacious therapeutic strategy with a correct knowledge of antiarrhythmic drugs. In this issue of Current Pharmacological Design the most recent knowledges on pathophysiology, diagnosis and treatment of supraventricular tachyarrhythmias in pediatr…

Chronic atrial fibrillation in presence of aortic stenosis in a patient with polysplenia syndrome.

2013

We report a rare case of “situs viscerum ambiguous” with polysplenia syndrome, in a 69 year old female patient with aortic stenosis and chronic atrial fibrillation. The presenting symptom was dyspnoea on moderate exertion and an ECG showed supra ventricular arrhythmia. Patients trans-thoracic echocardiogram revealed a dilated left atrium, reduced ejection fraction, mild tricuspid regurgitation, moderate-severe pulmonary hypertension and severe aortic stenosis. The patient was successfully treated with a replacement of her aortic valve and ascending aorta.

L’exceptionnelle richesse floristique de la Nouvelle-Calédonie est mondialement connue. Plus de 3 400 espèces de plantes vasculaires indigènes y sont répertoriées, dont les trois-quarts sont endémiques de l’archipel. L’endémisme ne concerne pas seulement les espèces, mais aussi les genres (près d’une centaine) et même trois familles. La diversité se décline aussi sur le plan écologique, en lien avec l’histoire géologique originale de la Nouvelle-Calédonie, qui a favorisé le micro-endémisme et les espèces inféodées aux substrats ultramafiques. De nouvelles espèces continuent à être découvertes, aussi reste-t-il nécessaire de poursuivre prospections et recherches botaniques, afin de mieux com…

Influence of the metabolic syndrome on aortic stiffness in never treated hypertensive patients

2004

Summary Background and aim Metabolic syndrome (MS) carries an increased risk for cardiovascular events and there is a growing awareness that large artery stiffening is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Little is known about the relationship of MS with aortic stiffness. The aim of our study was to analyze, in patients with essential hypertension, the influence of MS, defined according to the criteria proposed by the Third Report of the National Cholesterol Education Program Expert Panel on Detection, Evaluation, and Treatment of High Blood Cholesterol in Adults (NCEP-ATP III), on carotid–femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV), a measure of aortic stiffness. Methods N…

Metabolic syndrome in hypertensive patients: An unholy alliance

2014

For many years, it has been recognized that hypertension tends to cluster with various anthropometric and metabolic abnormalities including abdominal obesity, elevated triglycerides, reduced high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, glucose intolerance, insulin resistance and hyperuricemia. This constellation of various conditions has been transformed from a pathophysiological concept to a clinical entity, which has been defined metabolic syndrome (MetS). The consequences of the MetS have been difficult to assess without commonly accepted criteria to diagnose it. For this reason, on 2009 the International Diabetes Federation, the American Heart Association and other scientific organizations pro…
