Malnourished Patient

Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is a syndrome characterized by acute and transient regional systolic myocardial dysfunction. TC often mimics myocardial infarction without obstructive coronary disease. We present a case of a 48-year-old woman who developed TC following the onset of polymorphic ventricular tachycardia in the setting of methadone intoxication.

The Mean

Plasma cholesterol levels were obtained on 90 children of 39 men with premature myocardial infarction and 86 children of 39 healthy men. The mean cholesterol among children of affected men (195.1 mg/100 ml) was higher than among children of healthy men (176.6 mg/100 ml) (P = .009). Higher mean levels were demonstrable at each of nine age groups from 1 to 21 years (P = .004). Levels greater than 230 mg/100 ml were found in 16.7% of children of affected fathers and 4.7% of children of healthy fathers, a ratio of 3.6 to 1 (P = .01). These findings are compatible with the hypothesis that elevated childhood cholesterol level offers a mechanism whereby family history predicts coronary disease. A dip in cholesterol during adolescence, a finding that varies with population studied, was demonstrable among children of both affected and healthy men.

Acute Coronary Artery Disease

Diabetes is one of the most important cardiovascular risk factors. Hyperglycemia leads to several metabolic alterations, thus creating conditions for a poor cardiovascular outcome. Our study phocussed on the prevalence of glucidic metabolism alterations in the acute coronary disease, as well as the association between hyperglycemia, diabetes and severe coronary lesions. We performed a study on 58 patients with acute coronary artery disease, divided in two groups, unstable angina and acute myocardial infarction and we evaluated the severity of the disease based on the angiographical results: no vessel disease (no significant lesions), one-vessel disease (one arterial stenosis/occlusion), two-vessel disease (two stenotic coronary arteries) and three-vessel disease (lesions of all three coronary arteries). Blood samples were collected in heparinated tubes and rapidly transferred to the laboratory for analysis, using automated glucose analyzers, in order to prevent errors due to glycolysis. More than half of the patients were diabetic and glycemic values were significantly higher in patients with myocardial infarction (126.67 vs 163.64 mg/dL). The prevalence of diabetes was significantly higher among the three vessel disease patients, both with unstable angina (38.9%; p=0.037) and with myocardial infarction (35.1%; p=0.345). In conclusion, diabetes and hyperglycemia create the setting for acute coronary disease, especially with lesions of all the three coronary arteries.
