Janeway Lesion and Splinter Haemorrhages, Old signs Revisited: Cutaneous Stigmata of Cardiac Disorder

Addison’s disease is often accompanied by a number of cardiovascular manifestations. We report the case of a 30-year-old man who presented with a new onset dilated cardiomyopathy due to Addison’s disease. The clinical presentation, treatment, and outcomes of this rare hormone mediated cardiac disorder are reviewed.

Serious Disease

Cardiac disorders turn out to be a serious disease if not diagnosed and treated at the earliest. Arrhythmia is a cardiac disorder that exists as a result of irregular heart beat conditions. There are several variants in this type of disorder which can be only diagnosed only when patient is under an intensive care conditions and also the patient with such disorder do not experience and physical symptoms. Such diseases turn out to be deadly if not treated early. A detection system is thus required which is capable of detecting these arrhythmias in real time and aid in the diagnosis. An FPGA based arrhythmia detection system is designed and implemented here which can detect second degree AV block type of arrhythmia. The designed system was simulated and tested with ECG signal from MIT-BH database and the results revealed that a robust arrhythmia detection system was implemented.

Main Challenge

In order to diagnose a possible cardiac disorder, ECG (electrocardiogram) signals are usually recorded on standard grid papers in hospitals. Many efforts have been made to advance the technology in order to improve the diagnosis and management of cardiovascular disease. There is a need to convert the existing ECG records into digital forms, as it is the most efficient method to store and analyze ECG attributes for clinical uses. The main purpose of this chapter is to review the existing algorithms for digital conversion of paper ECG. It discusses the various challenges and a systematic study on different methods that have been used so far to convert paper ECG records into digitized form so that they can be retrieved efficiently. Initial challenge involved in the digitization process is gridline removal. In this process, information of ECG signal is also removed. None of the existing methods provide flawless gridline removal. The paper ECG used in hospitals differs in shape, size, formats, so the main challenge in digitization process is to achieve a worldwide ECG format.

Pcp Signaling

Congenital heart disease (CHD) is a common cardiac disorder in humans. Despite many advances in the understanding of CHD and the identification of many associated genes, the fundamental etiology for the majority of cases remains unclear. The planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway, responsible for tissue polarity inDrosophilaand gastrulation movements and cardiogenesis in vertebrates, has been shown to play multiple roles during cardiac differentiation and development. The disrupted function of PCP signaling is connected to some CHDs. Here, we summarize our current understanding of how PCP factors affect the pathogenesis of CHD.

Heart Wall

We report a 71-year-old woman with takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction accompanied with cerebellar hemorrhage. On admission time, although she was unconscious by cerebellar hemorrhage, no obvious heart failure and serological disorder were observed. Three days later, operation for extraventricular drainage was performed. However, conscious level did not change. Four days after admission, the change of electrocardiogram wave pattern and the decrement of heart wall motion were detected. These findings revealed takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction had occurred. Physical stresses by cerebellar hemorrhage and cranial operation might cause cardiac disorder. This is a remarkable case of takotsubo-like myocardial dysfunction, which is brought about cerebellar hemorrhage against subarachnoid hemorrhage.
