Timely Treatment

The article focuses on ultrasound diagnosis of cardiac tumors (CT). In recent time, the frequency of detecting cardiac neoplasm has been growing. Correct diagnosis at an early stage of the process would allow timely treatment. Before the introduction of two-dimensional echocardiography (EchoCG), life-time diagnosis of CT was very rare. This article describes major echocardiographic criteria for most common benign, malignant, and metastatic CTs. The article is illustrated with original echocardiographic images.

Abstract Background  Constrictive pericarditis is a chronic inflammation of the pericardium leading to the thickening of the pericardium that restricts cardiac filling. Globally tuberculosis is the commonest aetiology of constrictive pericarditis. Though normally considered to be an irreversible pathology; which requires surgical pericardiectomy, in early stage of the disease antitubercular therapy (ATT) along with steroids and other anti-inflammatory therapy can reverse the pathology. But, complete reversal of constrictive physiology with ATT without any anti-inflammatory drugs is not documented. Case summary  Here, we describe a case where a 54-year-old lady presented with progressive dyspnoea and pedal oedema for 2 years along with anorexia and weight loss for two months. Two-dimensional echocardiography and computed tomography scan was suggestive of constrictive pericarditis. In view of systemic features and high acute phase reactants, patient was started on oral ATT without any steroids. After 4 months, constriction physiology was completely reversed. Discussion  Constriction physiology if treated timely can be largely reversed only with ATT without adjuvant anti-inflammatory therapy. Further studies are required to find out the specific indications of anti-inflammatory therapy in tubercular constrictive pericarditis.

Diagnosis Of Hypertension

In the natural course of postductal aortic coarction, the average life expectancy of the patient is 30 years. The quality of life depends largely on the severity of narrowing, the presence of an open arterial duct and the development of collaterals providing blood flow in the descending aortic basin. Adult patients are characterized by hypertension syndrome symptomatic angina pectoris arrhythmias and heart failure. Pathology is diagnosed by means of two-dimensional echocardiography with color dopplerography and three-dimensional and four-dimensional ultrasonic reconstruction. The obtained data are significantly refined and supplemented by magnetic resonance or contrast multispiral computer tomography. Timely and correct diagnosis can save a patient’s life or significantly improve its quality, preventing the consequences of persistent hypertension and the development of heart failure. The present paper considers a clinical case of pronounced aortic coarctation, first diagnosed in a man aged 30 years, previously observed with a diagnosis of hypertension, despite the signs of hypoxemia of the lower half of the trunk. The algorithm of examination is discussed, which provides timely diagnosis of this defect in order to prevent its complications.

Patients from 30 to 50 years old, suffering from arterial hypertonia of stage 1-2 and obesity of 1-2 degree, were exam-ined. Pharmacological correction of cardiovascular disorders and changes in lipid metabolism with the use of dietary supplements "Triastin" against the background of basic therapy of patients with AH and OB with enalapril was car-ried out. In addition to the basic therapy, biologically active supplement Triastin was used in the amount of 2 cap-sules per day for 21 days in 2 cycles for 6 months as an additional hypolipidemic agent. Anthropometric research was carried out using unified methods. Obesity was assessed, as well as the lipid spectrum of the blood. The systolic and diastolic functions of the left ventricle, the size of the aorta, atria and right ventricle, the thickness of the interventric-ular septum in diastole (TMZhPd), the thickness of the posterior wall in diastole (TZSD) were determined using two-dimensional echocardiography. The study revealed a more pronounced and stable decrease in the level of blood pres-sure, lipid profile and side effects of basic therapy, improved myocardial remodeling and its functional features.
