Aortic valve sclerosis as a marker of active atherosclerosis.

Aortic sclerosis is a calcific disease of the aortic valvular leaflets defined as focal leaflet thickening without significant obstruction to left ventricular outflow. Several clinical factors are associated with calcific aortic valve disease, including male sex, smoking, hypertension, age, hypercholesterolemia, and diabetes. Histologic and biochemical studies suggest similarities between the mechanisms involved in the development of aortic sclerosis and atherosclerosis, suggesting these two diseases may share common pathophysiologic mechanisms. In a recent prospective trial, the presence of aortic sclerosis was associated with an approximately 50% increase in cardiovascular mortality and myocardial infarction, even after correction for age, gender, known coronary artery disease, and clinical factors associated with a aortic sclerosis.

Enlargement of the aortic annulus using a double-patch technique: a safe and effective method.

We have tested a new method to enlarge the aortic annulus using a double-patch technique after the Manouguian principle. Our study included 14 patients who had no operative mortality and no complications; long-term follow-up was 13 years. The method prevented mitral insufficiency and operative bleeding at the aortic root.

Far-field P-wave sensing by the right ventricular lead of conventional dual chamber pacemakers.

This report describes two cases of far-field sensing of the P wave by the ventricular channel of conventional DDD pacemakers programmed to a relatively high sensitivity to promote sensing of ventricular extrasystoles. Ventricular pacing was maintained in both cases when the ventricular channel was not inhibited. One case was caused by displacement of a bipolar ventricular lead towards the right ventricular inflow tract. The other case occurred only in relation to an atrial extrasystole in the absence of ventricular lead displacement.
