ECG changes associated with spontaneous left-sided pneumothorax.

A patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease had a 100% pneumothorax on the left side associated with marked ECG changes. The changes occurring in this situation can be confusing. Because of the high prevalence of coronary heart disease in patients presenting with left-sided chest pain, an ECG usually is obtained to rule out acute myocardial infarction, in many instances even before history taking, physical examination, or chest x-ray study is done. Therefore, familiarity with the ECG manifestations of left-sided penumothorax is necessary to avoid delay in establishing the diagnosis and in beginning therapy.

Idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis and aortic regurgitation in an 84-year-old man.

During the ninth decade of life, idiopathic hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (IHSS), particularly when associated with other cardiac disorders, presents a confusing clinical problem. Unless the physician has a high index of suspicion, the diagnosis is easily overlooked, and consequently inappropriate management of the patient may lead to serious complications. One such case in an 84-year-old man is described. Administration of certain drugs may only intensify symptoms. Echocardiography is invaluable for diagnosis. Pertinent clinical features of IHSS in the eighth and ninth age decades are outlined.
