Classically, stroke etiology in patients with Chagas disease is thought to be cardioembolic and related to apical aneurysm, mural thrombus, and atrial arrhythmias. Although most strokes are ...

A left ventriculogram showed normal overall systolic function with preserved apical and basal function and mid-anterior ... artery beading with a 22 × 11 mm right renal artery fusiform aneurysm as ...

Apical lesions of the left ventricle, ranging from endocardial thickening to aneurysms, are commonly found in Chagas' heart disease. These abnormalities can be identified by ventriculography, ...

Within the prior 24 months, I have had a financial relationship with a company producing, marketing, selling, re-selling, or distributing healthcare products used by or on patients: Receive the the ...

A fusiform aneurysm causes the artery to bulge or balloon on all sides. This type is less common than a saccular aneurysm, which causes a bulge on one side of the artery. An aneurysm is a weakness ...

We studied functional, morphological and electrocardiographical abnormalities in patients with APH and with apical aneurysm and sought to find parameters that relate to apical myocardial injury.

Accurate assessment and characterization of the left ventricular apex are pivotal for prognostication, as apical aneurysms are associated with substantial cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. 1 ...

and/or apical aneurysm. Subjects with relative ApHCM had characteristic imaging and ECG findings but had MWT 15 mm. The upper limit of normal (ULN) was defined as mean + 3 standard deviations based on ...
