The effect of Turkish bath on QT dispersion
The Anatolian journal of cardiology, 2010Co-Authors: Mustafa Ünübol, Hulki Meltem Sönmez, Zeynep Güneş, Hilmiye AksuAbstract:It is known that QT intervals might differ from each other on electrocardiogram (ECG). It is also known that diversity of QT interval between derivations is an indicator of heterogeneity of repolarization and it is a leading electrophysiological cause of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden Heart Death. In this study, we evaluated the effects of the Turkish bath on QT dispersion. A total of 47 healthy volunteers were enrolled in the prospective study. The 12-lead ECG recordings were taken in all subjects before and after bath and QT dispersions were calculated. Blood pressure and the Heart rate of each patient were recorded. QT dispersion was defined as the difference between the maximum and minimum QT intervals occurring in any of the 12 leads. Statistical analysis were performed using Wilcoxon rank test and paired t test. The mean age was 49.47+/-11.64 years; range was between 23-70 years. The mean temperature of the bath was 39.72+/-1.75 degrees C, mean humidity percent was 84.42+/-4.74%. QTc dispersion were respectively determined as 0.047+/-0.025 sec and 0.047+/-0.019 sec (p=0.981) before and after bath. We determined no correlation between duration time at bath and QTc dispersion (r=-0.069 p=0.646). In our study we found no meaningful difference in QTc dispersion in individuals who take bath. Our study is the first study in which we evaluated QTc dispersion in high temperature and humidity environment of the bath and we did not determine any effect on QTc dispersion.

631 Critical Supravalvular Aortic Stenosis in a Family with a New Elastin Gene Mutation
Pediatric Research, 2010Co-Authors: A Jakob, S Unger, R Arnold, J Grohmann, B StillerAbstract:Background and aims: An elastin gene mutation causes manifold vascular stenosis in patients with Williams-Beuren Syndrome, but also in a nonsyndromatic congenital form. These patients have a higher risk of sudden Death, particularly when undergoing diagnostic or surgical procedures. Methods: We performed Molecular genetic investigation of the elastin - Gen in one family. The cardiac and vascular malformations in these patients were determined and 2 lethal clinical courses are described. Results: Screening over 3 generations revealed 8 affected individuals with a new Elastin - gen mutation. The cardiac and vascular malformations range from mild asymptomatic supravalvular aortic stenosis and isolated dysplastic atrioventricular valves to diffuse arterial hypoplasia. Two infants presented arteries affected at multiple locations, including the left coronary artery. Both died of sudden Heart Death and myocardial ischemia, one while under general anesthesia for cardiac catheterization, the other perioperatively. Conclusions: In patients with arterial narrowing, elastin - Gen mutation should be considered. These patients have special pathophysiological aspects. Any application of general anesthesia should undergo careful scrutiny and only be performed by well-experienced anesthesiologists anticipating such problems.

An Association of Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 Infection With Type 2 Diabetes
Diabetes Care, 2005Co-Authors: Yongjian Wu, Yuejin YangAbstract:Although the primary cause of type 2 diabetes is unknown, two breakthroughs have been made regarding its development (1). First, insulin resistance in muscle is the earliest detectable defect in people in whom type 2 diabetes will later develop. Second, β-cell function has to be abnormal before hyperglycemia develops. One of the risk factors for diabetes development might be virus infection (2). Preexisting hepatitis C virus infection may increase the risk for type 2 diabetes (3,4). Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) has been recognized as a potential pathogen of cardiovascular diseases. The presence of antibodies to HSV-1 is reported to be associated with an increase in the risk of incident myocardial infarction and coronary Heart Death (5,6). Type 2 diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality (7) and is recorded as a coronary artery disease risk equivalent (8). In this study, we attempted to investigate the potential relationship between HSV-1 infection and type 2 diabetes. All subjects were consecutive inpatients at Beijing Fu Wai Heart Hospital. Diabetes was diagnosed as follows (9): patients who had overnight fasting plasma glucose ≥7.0 mmol/l (126 mg/dl) …
