26. The effect of siesta in parameters of cardiac structure and in interpretation of ambulatory arterial blood pressure monitoring
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the influence of the siesta in ambulatory blood pressure (BP) monitoring and in cardiac structure parameters. METHODS: 1940 ambulatory arterial blood pressure monitoring tests were analyzed (Spacelabs 90207, 15/15 minutes from 7:00 to 22:00 hours and 20/20 minutes from 22:01 to 6.59hours) and 21% of the records indicated that the perso

27. Adaptações cardio-respiratorias ao treinamento fisico aerobio em mulheres na menopausa : estudo longitudinal e transversal
Menopause is a special period in a woman?s life when almost all them experience progressive modification in their physical and psychological sates. Among various symptoms, there are those related to the cardiorespiratory system like: intolerance to exertion, skin hyperemia and heart palpitation. The objective of this research, that included a longitudinal an

28. Permanent pacing for asystole of the donor heart after heterotopic heart transplantation.
A 41-year-old woman presented with shortness of breath and decreased exercise tolerance 1 year after heterotopic heart transplantation. She was found to have an ejection fraction of less than 20% for the native heart and severely depressed left ventricular systolic function of the donor heart. A left ventriculogram of the donor heart showed no systolic contr

29. Regression of left ventricular hypertrophy in a transplanted heart
A woman with advanced coronary artery disease underwent heart transplantation. The donor heart had left ventricular hypertrophy. The electrocardiographic and echocardiographic evidence of left ventricular hypertrophy regressed during follow up; estimated left ventricular mass decreased from 393 g to 171 g. The adaptation of myocardial mass and performance af

30. Aorta–Left Renal Vein Fistula in a Woman
Spontaneous rupture of an abdominal aortic aneurysm into a retroaortic left renal vein is an uncommon occurrence. A 55-year-old woman presented with shortness of breath, vomiting, and diffuse abdominal pain that had radiated to her back and legs for the preceding 10 days. A pulsatile abdominal mass, hematuria, renal insufficiency, and heart failure were pres

31. Drug-Induced Toxic Myocarditis
A 66-year-old woman presented with new-onset complete left bundle branch block and congestive heart failure. She had had chronic paranoid schizophrenia for 35 years and had been taking medications to control her psychiatric disorder for the past 10 years. A 2-dimensional echocardiogram performed at the onset of congestive heart failure showed dilated cardiom

32. Reversal of haemochromatotic cardiomyopathy in beta thalassaemia by chelation therapy.
Haemochromatotic cardiomyopathy is the main cause of morbidity and mortality in patients with beta thalassaemia major. Once congestive heart failure develops most patients die in a few months. Congestive heart failure was reversed and echocardiographic findings were restored to normal in a 24 year old woman with beta thalassaemia who resumed treatment with c

33. Restrictive cardiomyopathy caused by chloroquine.
A 59 year old white woman who had been treated with chloroquine phosphate for 25 years presented with signs of congestive heart failure and was diagnosed as having restrictive cardiomyopathy by non-invasive methods. Electron microscopy of a biopsy specimen of skeletal muscle showed lesions compatible with chloroquine myopathy. The patient died five weeks aft

34. Stent implantation in an adult with coarctation of the aorta in the presence of advanced secondary heart failure.
We report the case of a 56-year-old woman with congenital coarctation of the aorta, who presented in critical clinical condition with advanced secondary cardiomyopathy and heart failure. We successfully applied an unusual technique to pass the aortic obstruction, and then implanted a PALMAZ stent. The procedure resulted in prompt clinical improvement and com

35. Coronary Arteries in Crisscross Heart
Crisscross heart, or superoinferior ventricles, is a complex and often confusing congenital anomaly. We report a heretofore unreported presentation of “isolated” crisscross heart, in situs inversus levocardia, which allows us to more clearly define the typical features of crisscross ventricles. The case of this 41-year-old woman, who had a peculiar coron

36. Hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy complicated by ruptured chordae tendinea to the posterior mitral leaflet and severe congestive heart failure
A 63-year-old woman with hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy developed rapidly progressive fatigue, shortness of breath and congestive heart failure. A transesophageal echocardiogram demonstrated ruptured chordae to the posterior mitral valve leaflet with severe mitral regurgitation. Mitral valve replacement eliminated the outflow gradient. Acute or suba
