[Recurrent multi-focal cerebral stroke complicating Libman-Sacks endocarditis in a young woman with systemic lupus erythromatosus].

Abstract:

:Systemic lupus erythromatosus is often associated with an antiphospholipid syndrome (APS). A high prevalence of valvular heart disease in APS leads to increased risk of embolic events, particularly cerebrovascular. We present a patient with cerebral infarction, with positive lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin antibodies and factor V Leiden mutation. Echocardiographic examination revealed mitral valve anterior leaflet thickening and verrucous vegetations consistent with Libman-Sacks endocarditis, which is commonly associated with APS.

  • Evaluation of the defibrillation threshold in atrial fibrillation by transoesophageal cardioversion using a biphasic impulse.

    abstract:INTRODUCTION:Recurrent atrial fibrillation (AF) in the setting of haemodynamic disturbances requires frequently repeated cardioversions, which is associated with the risk of myocardial damage. It is thus necessary to identify methods which can minimise the cardioverter impulse energy. AIM:To define the defibrillation ...
