These results provide additional evidence for the presence of subclinical CVD and its relation to hypertension in juvenile-onset SLE. They also indicate a significant relation between LVH and increased arterial stiffness. It is also important to note that our findings reveal significant relationships between ambulatory BP and cardiovascular changes and underline the importance of ABPM to predict CVD.
Based on these results, steroid-resistant NS children generally are at high risk of cardiovascular complications, but the increased risk is likely to be multifactorial.
Cases of Weismann-Netter-Stuhl syndrome involving the upper extremities and affecting siblings have rarely been reported. We present the radiological findings of Weismann-Netter-Stuhl syndrome in two siblings, with upper extremity involvement in one of them.
A wide spectrum of complex cardiac malformations are associated with fetal dextrocardia. Fetal echocardiography enables detection of complex cardiac anomalies so that parents can be appropriately counselled.
Prenatal diagnosis of a congenital coronary artery fistula between the left coronary artery and the right ventricle was established at 28 weeks of gestation. Hydrops fetalis developed during follow-up and the baby died on the first day after delivery. It is rare for coronary artery fistulas to become symptomatic during fetal life.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
