Abstract

Mitral subvalvar aneurysms are a rare clinical entity and not commonly described in the literature. They are almost exclusive of the black population in the subsaharian Africa. The authors, in a bibliographic revision, present the different etiological theories, the pathology, the pathophysiology, the clinical presentation and discuss the relative value of the different diagnostic tools. The differential diagnosis is also discussed and the more recent methods of medical and surgical treatment presented.

Lossy (15:1) JPEG compression of digital coronary angiograms does not limit detection of subtle morphological features.

BACKGROUND: Development of the "all-digital" cardiac catheterization laboratory has been slowed by substantial computer archival and transfer requirements. Lossy data compression reduces this burden but creates irreversible changes in images, potentially impairing detection of clinically important angiographic features. METHODS AND RESULTS: Fifty image sequences from 31 interventional procedures were viewed both in the original (uncompressed) state and after 15:1 lossy Joint Photographic Expert's Group (JPEG) compression. Experienced angiographers identified dissections, suspected thrombi, and coronary stents, and their results were compared with those from a consensus panel that served as a "gold standard." The panel and the individual observers reviewed the same image sequences 4 months after the first session to determine intraobserver variability. Intraobserver agreement for original images was not significantly different from that for compressed images (89.8% versus 89.5% for 600 pairs of observations in each group). Agreement of individual observers with the consensus panel was not significantly different for original images from that for compressed images (87.6% versus 87.3%; CIs for the difference, -4.0%, 4.0%). Subgroup analysis for each observer and for each detection task (dissection, suspected thrombus, and stent) revealed no significant difference in agreement. CONCLUSIONS: The identification of dissections, thrombi, and coronary stents is not substantially impaired by the application of 15:1 lossy JPEG compression to digital coronary angiograms. These data suggest that digital angiographic images compressed in this manner are acceptable for clinical decision-making.

Activated factor VII levels in patients with angiographically confirmed coronary artery disease.

We have examined factor VIIa levels in consecutive consenting patients undergoing coronary angiography (n = 702) to determine if levels are related to the presence of coronary arterial narrowing and to the degree and extent of that narrowing. Both men and women with clinically defined coronary artery disease (> or = 50% stenosis in at least 1 vessel) had factor VIIa levels that were similar to men and women with less stenosis or normal coronary arteries.
