Background: Blood pressure variability (BPV) in hypertensive patients is implicated as a remarkable feature leading to additional cardiovascular complications. The aim of the study was to identify the determinants influencing BPV among patients with essential hypertension seen at the Cardiology department of the faculty of medicine, University of Alexandria, Egypt. Methods: This was a descriptive cross-sectional hospital-based study conducted from August 2019 to November 2019. All the eligible patients were made to fill out a standard questionnaire to obtain family and personal clinical history and undergo routine physical examination, laboratory tests and 24-hour ambulatory blood pressure monitoring. BPV was summarized as the standard deviation (SD) of all-day systolic and diastolic BP in both normal patients (with SD < 11) and abnormal patients (with SD ≥ 11). Results: Out of a total of 114 patients, 18 (15.8%) non-hypertensive patients were included in the control group and the remaining 96 (84.3%) were classified based on the degree of hypertension. BPV in all these patients was found to be significantly related to the male gender, a mild or moderate degree of hypertension, high prevalence of non-dipping, diabetes, use of beta-blockers as antihypertensive medication, heart rate variability, BMI, and increased day-time variability. Conclusion: Variability in blood pressure influenced by different intrinsic and extrinsic factors plays an important role in the management of hypertension. In order to reduce the burden of disease and for a better quality of life for hypertensive patients, it is important that physicians start considering lowering BPV in addition to reducing physiological BP levels.

Introduction: Cardiac amyloidosis is a rare and under-diagnosed disease. The objective of this study was to collect cases of cardiac amyloidosis in patients hospitalized in the cardiology department of the Centre Hospitalier Intercommunal Alençon-Mamers (CHICAM). Patients and Methods: This was a retrospective descriptive study of the records of patients diagnosed with cardiac amyloidosis. The study took place in the cardiology department of the CHICAM over 12 months (from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020). We included the files of patients in whom the diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis was confirmed on the basis of clinical, echocardiographic, biological, scintigraphic and cardiac MRI evidence. Results: Seven patients were included. The mean age was 86.71 years. Six men for one woman. Most of the patients were in heart failure. There was one case of periorbital ecchymosis. Troponinemia was increased in three patients, NTproBNP was always high with a mean of 1000 ng/L. Cardiac echography showed a hyperbright septum in four cases, concentric hypertrophy of the left ventricle with a mean interventricular septum in diastole of 13.85 mm. Six cases were senile transthyretin amyloidosis (TTR), one case was mutated transthyretin amyloidosis (TTRm). Two cases of death were noted. Conclusion: Cardiac amyloidosis has a poor prognosis due to delayed diagnosis.

Background: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is approved by the FDA for severe aortic stenosis (AS) in patients of all surgical risk categories but has yet to be studied for its utility in aortic insufficiency (AI), despite the need for a safe alternative to surgery for prohibitive surgical risk patients. Case Report: We describe a case of a female patient who presented with acute decompensated congestive heart failure (CHF) with New York Heart Association (NYHA) Class IV symptoms. She was found to have severe AI leading to acute decompensation. Two years prior to this, she had aortic valve endocarditis that had potentially resulted in severe AI. Considering her underling comorbidities including diabetes mellitus, hypertension, morbid obesity and multiple myeloma on active chemotherapy at the time of evaluation, the patient was a high-risk surgical candidate for surgical aortic valve repair (SAVR) in view of elevated risk of mortality, infection, and poor wound healing. After critical and comprehensive assessment, transcatheter aortic valve intervention was considered to be an appropriate choice of treatment. TAVR was successfully performed that resulted in immediate improvement of aortic valve func-tion. On subsequent follow-ups, she demonstrated markedly improved symptoms and reduced status to NYHA Class II HF symptoms. Conclusion: TAVR is a potential treatment modality for patients with severe AI who are poor surgical candidates for SAVR. We hope our case contributes to the growing pool of studies investigating the utility of TAVR procedure in patients with severe AI.

Background: Mitral valve repair in secondary mitral regurgitation is still uncertain as the chance of recurrence is approximately 30 percent after solely undersized annuloplasty. Some procedures adding to the subvalvular level are proposed to alleviate the recurrent rate. This study was to evaluate the clinical and echocardiographic outcomes of papillary muscle relocation plus undersized ring in secondary mitral regurgitation (2 nd MR). Methods: Medical records of moderate to severe 2 nd MR with tethering depth of more than 1 cm patients who underwent papillary muscle relocation plus undersized ring from 2014 to 2020 were reviewed. Clinical and echocardiographic parameters before and after operation were analyzed. Results: Thirty-two patients were included during the 6-year period. There was no perioperative mortality. Two patients died at one year from ischemic stroke and car accidents with overall 5-year survival of 93.7%. All patients were in NYHA class I and II with MR grading as trivial or mild at a median follow-up of 33 months. Postoperative mean tenting depth, area and posterior leaflet angle decreased remarkably from 1.18 cm, 2.61 cm 2 and 46.5 degree to 0.65 cm, 1.22 cm 2 and 28.6 degree, respectively (p < 0.001, 0.02, and 0.01). Moreover, left ventricular function and remodeling were also notably improved (EF; 38.2% vs 49.1%: p = 0.018, LVEDD; 62.8 vs 54.6 mm: p = 0.005, LVESD; 50.2 vs 42.4 mm: p = 0.01). Conclusions: Papillary muscle relocation combined with undersized annuloplasty improved mid-term clinical outcomes. Apart from reduction of recurrent MR rate, restoration of mitral configuration and reverse LV remodeling could be the effect of adding subvalvular correction in this pathology.
背景:二尖瓣修复在继发性二尖瓣返流中仍然不确定，因为仅在小尺寸环成形术后复发率约为30%。提出了一些增加瓣下水平的手术来减轻复发率。本研究旨在评价继发性二尖瓣反流(二次MR)中乳头状肌移位加小环的临床和超声心动图结果。方法:回顾2014 ~ 2020年中重度2次MR系扎深度大于1cm患者行乳头肌移位加过小环手术的病历。分析手术前后临床及超声心动图参数。结果:6年内纳入32例患者。无围手术期死亡。2例患者一年内死于缺血性脑卒中和车祸，5年总生存率为93.7%。所有患者均为NYHA I级和II级，MR分级为轻微或轻度，中位随访时间为33个月。术后平均帐篷深度、面积和后小叶角分别从1.18 cm、2.61 cm 2和46.5度显著降低至0.65 cm、1.22 cm 2和28.6度(p < 0.001、0.02和0.01)。此外，左心室功能和重构也明显改善(EF;38.2% vs 49.1%: p = 0.018, LVEDD;62.8 vs 54.6 mm: p = 0.005, LVESD;50.2 vs 42.4 mm: p = 0.01)。结论:乳头肌移位联合小尺寸环成形术改善了中期临床结果。除了降低复发率外，二尖瓣形态的恢复和左室的逆转重构可能是在这种病理中增加瓣下矫正的效果。

Aims: To determine the cardiovascular and cerebrovascular prognosis at 5 years of patients who underwent an ischemic stroke in Senegal. Methods: We performed a descriptive, retrospective and exhaustive study conducted at Principal Hospital of Dakar. We included all patients hospitalized at Principal Hospital of Dakar from 2013 to 2019 for an ischemic stroke confirmed by a cerebral CT-Scanner or by magnetic resonance imaging, and who survived the acute phase. Results: Overall, one hundred and seventy-one (171) patients were gathered. Ninety-six (96) male patients account for 56.14% and seventy-five (75) female patients account for 43.86%, with a sex ratio of 1.28. Patients’ mean age was 66.33 ± 13.99 years. Twenty-one (21) young patients (12.35%), aged less than 50 years, presented with an ischemic stroke. Myocardial infarction was found in a female patient (0.6%) 3 months after she experienced an ischemic stroke, nine (9) patients (5.29%) underwent a recurrence of the ischemic stroke with a mean recurrence period of 8 months and extremes ranging from sion: Long-term prognosis of ischemic stroke remains unclear in Senegal. Therefore, a strategy for primary prevention is highly crucial and it requires the control of risk factors in general and that of high blood pressure in par-ticular.
