  2. 16. Morbidity and mortality in patients with bundle branch block

    Author : Fariborz Tabrizi; Karolinska Institutet; Karolinska Institutet; []
    Keywords : AV block; Bifascicular block; Congestive heart failure; Bundle branch block; Mortality; Myocardial infarction; Sudden cardiac death; Syncope.;

    Abstract : Background: Syncope is a predictor of subsequent high-degree atrioventricular (AV) block in patients with bifascicular block (BFB) but the time relationship between syncope and development of AV block has not been well-studied. Patients with BFB have a significantly higher mortality rate compared with an age and sex matched population. READ MORE

  4. 17. Cardiac involvement in familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy

    Author : Peter Eriksson; Umeå universitet; []
    Keywords : MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; MEDICIN OCH HÄLSOVETENSKAP; MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES; amyloidosis; arrhythmias; cardiac pacing; cardiac radionuclide; imaging; echocardiography; electrocardiography; pathology;

    Abstract : Familial amyloidosis with polyneuropathy (FAP) is a neuropathic form of heredofamilial systemic amyloidosis. Clusters of patients have been reported predominantly from Portugal, Japan and Sweden. The present study examines the involvement of the heart in individuals with the Swedish variety of FAP.

    Abstract : Thirty patients with Hirschsprung's disease (HD) who underwent Rehbein's anterior resection, using a circular stapler to perform the anastomosis, were evaluated retrospectively. The postoperative complication rate and long-term functional outcome were similar to those reported by other investigators using the same and other techniques. READ MORE
