[Bradyarrhythmias in the acute phase of myocardial infarct].

The functioning of the Intensive Care Units has permitted a better study and treatment of the arrhythmias which complicate the acute phase of myocardial infarction. 1,100 charts of patients admitted to the Coronary Unit of the National Institute of Cardiology of Mexico were reviewed. Acute myocardial infarction was demonstrated in 819 of them by the usual methods. The frequency and characteristics of the following bradiarrhythmias were studied: sinus bradicardia, sinus stoppage, seno-atrial block, migration of the atrial pacing, union rhythm and slow ventricular tachycardia. Sinus bradicardia was presented in 23.7% of the infarctions, sinus stoppage in 2.4%, migration of the atrial pacing in 9.4%, nodal rhythm in 7.2% and slow ventricular tachycardia in 7.8%. Bradiarrhythmias, generally considered as "lesser" arrhythmias, favor the appearance of lethal arrhythmias, regardless of the degree of mechanical failure, and thus should be treated actively.

[Aneurysm of the left ventricle associated with inactive rheumatic heart disease. Report of a case].

A case of aneurism of the left ventricle, confirmed by ventriculogram, associated to an inactive rheumatic cardiopathy with a pure mitral stenosis is presented. Since none of the usual causes that have been reported were found to explain the aneurism of the left ventricle; the possibility of the aneurism resulting from residual myocardiac fibrosis produced by the rheumatic myocarditis is suggested.

Aortic bacterial endarteritis.

Micotic aneurisms are very rare. They are produced as a consequence of a bacterial infection of the endartery. They are divided into "primary", or those of an unknown septic focus, and "secondary" to bacterial endocarditis, to intravascular in infection or to infection located in a neighboring region. Two cases of the National Institute of Cardiology of Mexico are presented, with "primary" micotic aneurysm, which is the least frequent. One of them was because of bacterial endarteritis located in the thoracic aorta, an extremely rate entity. Due to the frequent rupture of these aneurysm with a very high mortality, emphasis is placed on the convenience of rapid surgical treatment of patients diagnosed.

[Aneurysm of the pulmonary artery. Analysis of 7 cases].

Aneurysms of the pulmonary artery are very rare, very few have been reported in medical literature. It is the purpose of this paper to present and discuss 7 cases. The etiology was congenital in 2, syphilitic in 2, cystic medionecrosis in 1, and mycotic in 2. The diagnosis was confirmed by necropsis in 3, and by angiography in 4. The basic clinical aspects are hemoptysis, pulmonary ejective murmur, and the radiological findings. The evolution depends on the etiology. The mycotic aneurysms ruptured and the patient with cystic medionecrosis died in heart failure. One of the syphilitic aneurysms died from an unrelated cause, and the others are alive and asymptomatic. The medical treatment is determined by the etiology.

[Chagas myocardiopathy. Presentation of a case].

1. The first case of Chagasic Miocardiopathy with complete immunologic confirmation is described. 2. The clinical, radiological, and electrocardiographic basis of the case were analyzed. 3. The specificity and the sensibility to the different seroimmunologic reactions in the Chagasic Disease was discussed. 4. An emphasis is placed on the fact that Chagas illness is not a rare entity in the Mexican Republic. 5. We recommend that a campaign of serologic investigation is begin to discover the true frequency of this illness.

[Cardiovascular abnormalities in Ehlers-Danlos syndrome. Report of a case].

This is the case of a 34-year-old woman with Ehlers-Danlos syndrome whose cardiopulmonary manifestations are the following: Prolapse of mitral and tricuspid valves. Aneurysmal dilatation of main arteries without aortic or pulmonary insufficiency. Disturbances in pulmonary function tests and pulmonary arterial hypertension. The diagnosis was verified by skin biopsy and an electron microscopic study. Due to the clinical and histopathological characteristics, we have considered this case to be a non-specified type of the 10 varieties described up to now, and have decided to report it also because of the interesting findings in the hemodynamic and pulmonary function tests.

[Lupus erythematosus and chorea (report of 3 cases)].

We present here three cases of systemic Lupus Erythematosus which fulfilled the diagnostic criteria of the American Rheumatism Association. These three cases also had Chorea. This kind of association is not frequent and the cases here described are the last three of 32 published until now. We discusse in this paper the significance of the Chorea Syndrome and the probable causes originating it.
