Aortabillentyű-beültetés antifoszfolipid szindrómában.

EsetismertetÉs: Egy 44 éves férfi betegnél endokarditisz talaján kialakult súlyos aortabillentyű-elégtelenség tett szükségessé szívsebészeti beavatkozást. A kevesebb mint egy év alatt bekövetkezett többszöri trombotikus esemény felvetette antifoszfolipid szindróma lehetőségét. A lupus antikoaguláns pozitivitás és az említett klinikai kép ezt igazolta.

Oscillometrically Measured Aortic Pulse Wave Velocity Reveals Asymptomatic Carotid Atherosclerosis in a Middle-Aged, Apparently Healthy Population.

Background: Asymptomatic atherosclerosis is a common entity even at young age. Studies have suggested a strong relationship between increased arterial stiffness and asymptomatic carotid atherosclerosis (ACA) in general population, particularly in those with high cardiovascular risk, but no data exist from a younger population free from recognized cardiovascular disease. .

The effect of physical exercise on arterial stiffness parameters in young sportsmen.

Objective: This study aimed to determine the effect of single-bout exercise on aortic stiffness parameters in young basketball players.

Method And Results: A total of 108 young male subjects (mean age 14.2 ± 3.

Comparison of arterial stiffness parameters in patients with coronary artery disease and diabetes mellitus using Arteriograph.

Recently an expert consensus document advised to standardize user procedures and a new cut-off value for carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity in daily practice. Our aim was to observe aortic pulse wave velocity (PWVao) and augmentation index (AIXao) in two high cardiovascular risk groups: patients with verified coronary artery disease (CAD) or with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). We also aimed to determine the cut-off values for PWVao, AIXao in CAD and T2DM patients using oscillometric device (Arteriograph).
