[Apical bilateral hypertrophic myocardiopathy with mitral and greater tricuspid valve insufficiency].

The case of a patient with non-obstructive apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy diagnosed on criteria that are now conventional is reported. This case exhibited two special features: the apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy was bilateral (i.e. the two ventricles were simultaneously involved) and it was associated with massive mitral and tricuspid valve regurgitation. These two features are frequent in other types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, but they have not yet been described in apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. They support the concept that there is no definite border between the different types of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Laser Doppler flowmetry: muscular microcirculation in anaesthetized horses.

Muscular microcirculation was studied in seven halothane anaesthetised horses in lateral recumbency using a laser Doppler flowmeter. A significant difference between the dependent and the uppermost triceps brachii was recorded. In the dependent muscles, microflow at first decreased and then increased up to the starting value. In the uppermost muscles, a significant rise of the microflow was measured.

[Ultrasonic association between false tendons and ventricular aneurysm. Apropos of 2 cases].

The authors report 2 clinical cases of ventricular aneurysm associated with a false tendon attached to the neck of the aneurysm. The first patient had no signs of false tendon before myocardial infarction. When the aneurysm developed, a false tendon was observed at its neck; a second false tendon attached to the first was also seen and appeared to have ruptured. The second patient had a right ventricular aneurysm with the same appearances of false tendon. These two cases suggested that the formation of an aneurysm might project a common muscular band into the ventricular cavity giving electrocardiographic appearances of a false tendon. We observed this association in 6 out of 23 cases of ventricular aneurysms in a prospective study. It is important to recognise this phenomenon and to differentiate it from other echogenic structures (thrombus).

Report of an incident during the use of the Servo-ventilator 900 in paediatric anesthesia.

The authors report the occurrence of an incident during the use of the Servo-ventilator 900 for paediatric anesthesia; it consisted in self-oscillation of the gas column contained in the patient respiratory circuit. After having analysed the incident and outlined the various ways of avoiding it, attention is drawn to the importance of the total circuit volume of the respirator. The respiratory circuit chosen for ventilating children, has a compliance of 1.3 ml/cm H2O.
