Heparin-induced thrombocytopenia associated with pulmonary embolism.

Abstract:

:Type II heparin-induced thrombocytopenia (HIT) is a potentially severe adverse effect of heparin treatment triggered by an immune response. Although most cases occur in patients receiving unfractioned heparin, HIT can also arise after low-molecular-weight heparin (LMWH). We report a case of HIT in a postoperative orthopedic 75-year-old woman in treatment with LMWH (nadroparin) complicated by pulmonary embolism and treated successfully with recombinant hirudin. Early recognition and proper treatment are fundamental for the management of this life-threatening disorder.

  • The effect of exercise-induced myocardial ischemia on postischemic left ventricular diastolic filling.

    abstract::To determine whether exercise-induced ischemia impairs left ventricular diastolic filling in the postischemic period in humans, 101 men (mean age 57 +/- 10 years) were studied before and 2 h after a symptom-limited thallium-201 tomographic treadmill with pulsed Doppler echocardiography of mitral valve inflow. In the p...
