Lymphoma presenting as severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction: a case report.

Lymphoma involving the heart is rare. This is a case report on non-Hodgkin lymphoma where the patient presented for the first time with heart failure and severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction due to lymphoma infiltrating the heart muscle and had simultaneous bilateral involvement of kidneys. This type of presentation has never been described in world literature and is the first reported case.

Low Voltage Electric Injury induced Atrial Fibrillation as a Presenting Feature of Wolff-Parkinson-White Syndrome: A Case Report.

Electric injury can cause a variety of cardiac arrhythmias. Atrial fibrillation as a result of such injury is very rare. We present a case of a young asymptomatic patient who developed acute atrial fibrillation with antegrade conduction over the atrioventricular bypass tract and very high ventricular rate after accidental low voltage electric injury, which was reverted successfully by DC shock.

Clinico-radiological profile of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia at a tertiary care center: Two year experience.

Background: Arrythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia (ARVD/C) refers to fibro fatty infiltration replacement of ventricular myocardium especially that of right ventricle. The clinical presentation varies from asymptomatic state to ventricular tachycardia, heart failure and even sudden death. Diagnosis is established using modified ARVD/C taskforce criteria.

Theophylline for renal function in term neonates with perinatal asphyxia: a randomized, placebo-controlled trial.

Objective: To study whether prophylactic theophylline can reduce the incidence and/or severity of renal failure in term infants with perinatal asphyxia.

Study Design: Term neonates with severe perinatal asphyxia were randomized to receive a single dose of either theophylline (study group, n = 40) or placebo (control group, n = 30) during the first hour of life. Daily weight, output/input ratio, 24-hour fluid intake, and urine volumes were recorded during the first 5 days of life.
