[Comparative study of the extension of coronary arteriosclerosis with risk factors and changes in the retinal artery].

PURPOSE: To identify a possible relationship of the extent of coronary artery disease, with risk factors for coronary artery disease and the retinal arteriolar changes (evaluated by fundoscopic examination). METHODS: We studied 96 patients (66 males), 36 to 72 years of age. All patients were studied by selective cinecoronaryarteriography, fundoscopic examination, as well as evaluated for the common risk factors, cigarette smoking diabetes, dislipidemia, systemic hypertension, age, alcoholism, male sex, family history and obesity. RESULTS: Male (p < 0.001) and smoking (p < 0.01) were the statistically significant associations with the extent of coronary artery disease. No significant relationship with the extent of coronary artery disease was present for the other risk factor nor for changes in retinal arteriolar branches. CONCLUSION: A relationship between extent of coronary artery disease with male sex and a cigarette smoker is occurred. No relationship with other risk factors, nor with retinal arteriolar changes were present.

[Refractory heart failure and sepsis in a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy].

A twenty one years old man with obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with resting gradient and which develops subacute infectious endocarditis and acute mitral regurgitation by valvular apparatus destruction. During the course occurs refractory heart failure and sepsis. The association between these diseases and difficulties in management are analyzed, and literature is reviewed. It is emphasized the high mortality of this condition and indication for surgical referral, as well the necessity for infectious endocarditis prophylaxis in patients with obstruction at rest.
