    2016
    Co-Authors: Heart Block Ventricular Flutter, Adams-stokes Syndrome, J. Clark, D. White
    Abstract:

    A case of congenital anieurysmal defect of the ventricular septumi is reported which appears to be unique in that this lesion was the only significant finding at autopsy. The patient had evidence of auriculoventricular block for a period of 26 years, at first partial and then complete. She succumbed at the age of 47 to a series of Adams-Stokes attacks which were demonstrated to be set off by parox-ysmal ventricular flutter followed byr ventricular tachy (caridia and ventricular standstill. Pertinent literature is briefly reviewed. T HE FOLLOWING case is conisidered worthy of recording since it appears to be the only one which we can find on record where an aneurysmal defect of the ventricular septum was the sole significant anatomic lesion found at autopsy. It demon-strates that ventricular flutter, unsuspected without cardiographic evidence, may precipi-tate the Adams-Stokes type of syncope. PREVIOUS LITERATURE Aneurysm of the Ventricular Septum. Because of its presumed lack of clinical significance, little has been written on the subject of anetu-rysm of the ventricular septum. Abbott, in Osler's Modern Medicine,1 described the path-ologic condition briefly avid reviewed the origi-nal studies of Mall.2 In, 1938 Lev and Saphir' published two cases and reviewed 70 cases which had been reported in the literature. Since this review wve find only one further case reported, that of Castoldi4 in 1942. Adams-Stokes Syndrome. The Morgagni-Adams-Stokes Syndrome as originally de-scribed referred to the association of syncope, epileptiform (convulsions and marked slowing of the heart action. Parkinson and co-workers` in 1941 reviewe(d all reported cases of the Adams-Stokes Syndrome with electrocardio

  • Case Report: Hypothyroidism Misdiagnosed as Fulminant Myocarditis in a Child
    'Frontiers Media SA', 2021
    Co-Authors: Nanjun Zhang, Shuran Shao, Yu Yan, Yimin Hua
    Abstract:

    Background: Hypothyroidism can lead to bradycardia, reduced cardiac output, cardiac enlargement, and abnormal electrocardiogram. However, hemodynamic instability and malignant arrhythmias due to hypothyroidism is rarely reported in children.Patient Findings: We report the case of a child with third-degree atrioventricular block, cardiogenic shock, and Adams Stokes Syndrome, who was initially misdiagnosed with fulminant myocarditis and was later found to have hypothyroidism during treatment.Summary: The child's condition did not improve after the administration of gamma globulin, methylprednisolone, and isoproterenol. Even after the placement of temporary pacemakers, the therapeutic effect was still not ideal. Upon reviewing the medical history, the child's condition improved rapidly after levothyroxine supplementation.Conclusions: Hypothyroidism is a common disease, but secondary severe cardiovascular lesions are particularly rare in children. Therefore, the delay in diagnosis can lead to serious cardiovascular manifestations. When pediatric patients develop severe AVB and bradycardia, hypothyroidism should be considered as a possible cause

  • variant angina pectoris associated with morgagni adams stokes Syndrome case report
    Przegla̧d lekarski, 2005
    Co-Authors: Anna Libionka, Bohdan Nessler, Bozena Stobierskadzierzak, Witold Libionka, Jadwiga Nessler, Wieslawa Piwowarska
    Abstract:

    : We report a case of Prinzmetal angina initially manifested with short losses of consciousness in a 55-year-old man hospitalized in the Department of Coronary Artery Disease, Institute of Cardiology, Jagiellonian University Medical College in Cracow. Clinical symptomatology of the presented case, causes and mechanism of loss of consciousness in variant angina as well as treatment methods are discussed.
