Acute onset of chronic aortic dissection presenting as abdominal pain.

Abstract:

:A 54-year-old male patient developed acute onset of chronic aortic dissection manifesting as primarily abdominal pain. A prompt diagnosis was made and urgent surgery was carried out successfully under profound hypothermic circulatory arrest. Prompt surgery is mandatory for such patients in order to prevent abrupt rupture. The awareness of possible aortic dissection is the key point leading to an early diagnosis in patients with atypical presentations.

  • [Advanced programming of cardiac resynchronisation therapy under echocardiographic examination: is it feasible and efficient?].

    abstract::In patients with heart failure treated with cardiac resynchronisation therapy (CRT), proper programming of the device can enhance the benefits of stimulation. Nowadays, adjustment of atrio-ventricular delay (AVD) is usually guided by echocardiography and performed only in resting conditions. The issue of optimal CRT p...
