[Successful cardiac resynchronization therapy in a patient with heart failure and ischemic mitral regurgitation: importance of septal flash.]
Rev Port Cardiol. 2011 Oct 25;
Gomes R, Ribeiras R, Carmo P, Lima S, Morgado FB, Horta E, Gouveia R, Silva A
We describe the case of a 76-year-old man with a history of ischemic heart disease and functional mitral regurgitation who over the previous six months had experienced worsening of functional class (NYHA III/IV) under optimal medical therapy, without ischemic symptoms and with negative ischemic tests. Mitral valve annuloplasty was considered. As the patient presented left bundle branch block on the surface ECG, cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) was also considered. There was, however, severe biventricular dysfunction and moderate to severe pulmonary hypertension, which are considered predictors of non-response to CRT. On echocardiographic evaluation of mechanical dyssynchrony by two-dimensional strain (2DS), spectral Doppler and color tissue Doppler imaging (TDI)/tissue synchronization imaging (TSI), we observed absence of atrioventricular dyssynchrony and presence of interventricular dyssynchrony, with inconclusive intraventricular longitudinal dyssynchrony, but with marked intraventricular radial dyssynchrony. The latter, immediately observed on the two-dimensional image, and termed multiphasic septal motion or septal flash, was characterized and quantified with 2DS. In our experience, the presence of such septal motion, for which the substrate is predominantly radial dyssynchrony, is a predictor of CRT response. Weighing the risks and benefits of mitral valve annuloplasty without associated revascularization versus CRT, we opted for the latter. Marked improvement in clinical and echocardiographic parameters was observed, compatible with the current criteria for “responder”. The improvement began one month after implantation and continued throughout two-year follow-up. In this case, detailed echocardiographic study of mechanical synchrony enabled the most appropriate and effective therapeutic strategy to be chosen.

Emphysema - a disease of small airways or lung parenchyma?
N Engl J Med. 2011 Oct 27; 365(17): 1637-9
Mitzner W
In 1984, the Division of Lung Diseases at the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute funded a workshop that led to what is still the basis for most definitions of emphysema: “a condition of the lung characterized by abnormal, permanent enlargement of airspaces distal to the terminal bronchiole, accompanied by the destruction of their walls, and without obvious fibrosis.”(1) In this issue of the Journal, McDonough et al.(2) report findings that seem to challenge this definition - namely, the extensive obliteration of terminal bronchioles in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) who have emphysema.

Open Question: Are these normal symptoms of panic attacks?
I get panic attacks.. they all started when my dog had a heart attack and it got to me so bad.. that I felt like I was going to get a heart attack.. what I find weird now is that.. whenever I hear about a new disease.. or anything that is life threatening I feel like I’m feeling the symptoms..
For example.. when I would get a panic attack about heart attacks.. I could feel my heart racing.. and then for some reason I would feel it twitch.. but the doctor said it was normal.. and I had a bunch of tests done to prove to me that nothing was wrong..
An other example is.. i got scared about cancer.. and I started noticing all these moles on my body.. the funny thing is.. they were already on my body since I was born x_x
It’s like my mind screws me and makes me feel the symptons of these diseases.. why does this happen to me.. it scares me and I hate going to the doctor and feeling like an idiot.. I dont know what to do.. its ruining my life.

2009 ESC/ERS Pulmonary Hypertension Guidelines and Connective Tissue Disease.
Allergol Int. 2011 Oct 25;
Nakanishi N
Pulmonary hypertension was defined as mean pulmonary artery pressure ≥25mmHg at the 4th World Symposium on Pulmonary Hypertension. In 2009, the European Society of Cardiology and European Respiratory Society jointly created guidelines for practical pulmonary hypertension classifications and treatments based on the discussions at the 4th World Symposium. This classification is characterized by division into five groups: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH); Pulmonary hypertension due to left heart disease; Pulmonary hypertension due to lung disease and/or hypoxia; Chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension; and Pulmonary hypertension with unclear and/or multifactorial mechanisms. PAH is a common and fatal complication of connective tissue disease (CTD), but pulmonary hypertension in CTD consists of PAH, pulmonary hypertension caused by myocardial involvement, pulmonary veno-occlusive disorder, pulmonary hypertension due to interstitial lung disease. PAH has been studied widely in SSc and the estimated prevalence of 7-12%. Treatment of CTD associated PAH (CTD-PAH) consists of general therapeutic options and specific treatment. Specific treatment of CTD-PAH patients is targeted to produce vasodilatation. Calcium channel blockers (CCBs) are indicated in cases where a sufficient decrease in pulmonary arterial pressure is seen in vasoreactivity testing. If vasoreactivity is absent in CTD-PAH patients, the treatment consists of the endothelin receptor antagonists, the prostacyclin analogues and phosphodiesterase-type 5 inhibitors. Few data are available to support the use of immunosuppression in CTD-PAH. However, some case reports suggested that a minority of CTD-PAH patients could benefit from immunosuppressive therapy. The treatment of CTD-PAH patients may differ from the treatment of idiopathic PAH.
