Pulmonary embolism and heart disease. An autopsy study.

The frequency of pulmonary embolism in patients with myocardial infarction (MI) and chronic rheumatic heart disease (RHE) has been investigated in an autopsy series. The series comprised 21530 hospital autopsies from 1960 to 1984. Altogether 5351 patients with MI and 289 patients with RHE as underlying death cause were selected for this study. Patients with RHE or old myocardial infarction (OMI) had a significantly higher frequency of pulmonary embolism than patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or acute and old myocardial infarction combined (AOMI). This was true irrespective of duration of stay in the hospital during last admission. The frequency of pulmonary embolism decreased in patients with OMI or RHE from 1960 to 1984 suggestive of better therapy of chronic heart failure. A similar trend was seen in patients with AMI during a period with consistent anticoagulation treatment.

Cardiovascular applications of magnetic resonance flow and velocity measurements.

With recent developments of MR techniques for blood flow measurements, qualitative and quantitative information on both flow volume and flow velocity in the major vessels can be obtained. MR flow quantitation uses the phase, rather than the amplitude of the MR signal, to reconstruct the images. Previous validation studies have demonstrated the accuracy of the phase shift techniques for measuring flow velocities. This technique is now being applied successfully in the cardiovascular system to quantify global and regional ventricular function, valvular heart disease, pulmonary artery disease, thoracic aortic disease, congenital heart disease, and ischemic heart disease.

[Influence of MP infection on immunologic function in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease].

The aim of this study was to detect Mycoplasma pneumoniae(MP) in sputum with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD) by using polymerase chain reaction and measured the level of sIL-2R in chronic pulmonary heart disease(CPHD) patients by Enzyme Linked Immnosorbert Assay(ELISA). At the same time, we also measured the level of the serum total IgE in CPHD patients. We determine the relationship between the sIL-2R and lymphocytes. The results showed that rate of MP infection in COPD patients was 34.59%. The rate of MP infection in CPHD patients and asthmatic patients were significantly higher than that in patients with chronic bronchitis. The level of sIL-2R in patients with CPHD who had MP infection increased significantly higher than that in CPHD patients which didn't have MP infection. There was a linear negative correlation between the level of sIL-2R and lymphocytes. The level of serum total IgE in CPHD patients with MP infection was higher than that in patients with other infection. These data suggest that MP is a common agent in COPD patients, particularly in CPHD and asthma. MP infection can impair the cellular immunity and immunotherapy combined with antibiotics may be more effective.
