[Cardiac localizations of lymphomas. A case report and review of the literature (author's transl)].

A case of malignant lymphoma with cardiovascular manifestations is reported. It is a febrile form with compression of the aortic ring provoking a murmur simulating aortic valve disease with an Osler's graft. An analysis of the various complications due to lymphomas reported in the published literature emphasizes the iatrogenic nature of some of them: cardiac toxicity of chemotherapy, post-radiotherapy pericarditis, and increased incidence of coronaritis after both cobalt and radiotherapy.

Angiocardiographic and haemodynamic studies in chronic haemodialysis patients with cardiomegaly.

Twenty-one chronic haemodialysis patients with cardiomegaly and repeated episodes of heart failure were selected for left ventricular cineangiography and haemodynamic studies. Left ventricular end-diastolic (LVED) volume was augmented in eleven, LVED pressure increased in fourteen, and ejection fraction decreased in nine patients. A decrease of maximum velocity of myocardial fibre shortening was observed in fifteen, and of normalised ventricular rigidity index in eleven.
