“…Thirteen percent had hypertension. A number of early reports3 13,14 have documented that LBBB can occur in patients with otherwise normal hearts; but these were either selected case reports with no information on the frequency with which LBBB occurs or patients who were considered normal only by clinical criteria. Johnson et al1 considered 25 of their 555 patients to be normal, and Smith and Hayes2 found 17 of their patients to have "no apparent cardiovascular disease."…”

“…Although cardiac involvement in varicella has been described at post-mortem in those dying from unrecognized myocarditis or from other varicella complications (Hackel, 1953;Tatter et al, 1964;Moore et al, 1969;Morales, Adelman and Fine, 1971), clinical evidence of heart involvement in this disease is extremely rare, and is usually only recognized when there are suggestive electrocardiographic changes or when cardiac failure supervenes (Vazifdar and Levine, 1952;de Medeiros Neto, de Almeida and Facchini, 1961). In patients who survive there are no reported long-term sequelae.…”

It has been hypothesized that Helicobacter pylori (Hp) infection may contribute to reduced stature, risk of hypertension or obesity. The aim was to evaluate body indices in Hp positive and negative persons. A total of 2436 subjects (4-100 years old) were tested for Hp status by 13 C-urea breath test. Data on height and weight were collected for 84%, and blood pressure for 80% of the study subjects. The prevalence of Hp infection was 41.6%. The odds ratio for a 10-year increase in age was 1.21 (95% CI 1.17-1.25, p-value <0.001). Statistically significant negative association of Hp positivity with body height was most pronounced in the younger age groups, while a positive association of Hp positivity with body mass index was only seen in those aged 15+ years. There was a negative effect of Hp positivity on systolic and diastolic blood pressure in subjects below 25 and a relatively strong positive effect on blood pressure in subjects over 65 years. Residual confounding by social characteristics as a possible explanation for the associations of Hp positivity with height and blood pressure cannot be excluded. Unmeasured factors related to social and family environment may cause the apparent association between Hp positivity and children's growth and blood pressure.
