Article Synopsis
- Systemic arterial hypertension is linked to cardiovascular issues, including aortic root dilation, which affects individuals regardless of age, gender, or body size; this study investigates its prevalence in untreated hypertensive patients.
- Conducted over two years, the research involved 300 treatment-naïve hypertensive patients and 300 matched healthy controls, using 2D echocardiography to measure the aortic root diameter.
- Results show that untreated hypertensive patients had significantly larger aortic root diameters compared to normotensive individuals, with a prevalence of aortic root dilation at 1.3% in the hypertensive group.
Digoxin toxicity has been implicated in all forms of cardiac arrhythmias with the notable exception of Mobitz II atrioventricular block, which is very rare. The manifestation is quite variable, ranging from being asymptomatic to gastrointestinal, cardiac, and neurologic symptoms. The manifestations can be protean in the elderly, the most vulnerable group, where degenerative cardiac conduction system diseases add another layer of intrigue by providing an intrinsic substrate for cardiac dysrhythmia.

- * Out of 949 eligible adult patients, 82.40% had abnormalities related to LVT, with 8.85% (84 patients) actually diagnosed with LVT.
- * The most frequent causes of LVT were dilated cardiomyopathy (39.29%) and myocardial infarction (29.76%), while peripartum cardiomyopathy also resulted in multiple thrombi cases.
