—Peripartum cardiomyopathy is a potentially life-threatening pregnancy-associated disease that typically arises in the peripartum period and is marked by left ventricular dysfunction and heart failure. The disease is relatively uncommon, but its incidence is rising. Women often recover cardiac function, but long-lasting morbidity and mortality are not infrequent. Management of peripartum cardiomyopathy is largely limited to the same neurohormonal antagonists used in other forms of cardiomyopathy, and no proven disease-specific therapies exist yet. Research in the past decade has suggested that peripartum cardiomyopathy is caused by vascular dysfunction, triggered by late-gestational maternal hormones. Most recently, information has also indicated that many cases of peripartum cardiomyopathy have genetic underpinnings. We review here the known epidemiology, clinical presentation, and management of peripartum cardiomyopathy, as well as the current knowledge of the pathophysiology of the disease.

Background: Management of patients with aortic stenosis is challenging since only few data exists indicating the rate of progression and the correlation to relevant determinants. We investigated whether analysis of the long-term progression, etiology and vascular risk factors could help to define optimal control intervals. Methods: We included 77 patients (age 51.1 ± 14.3 years) in one referral centre with an echocardiographyproven aortic stenosis (mean gradient >12 mm Hg) and a long-term follow-up of three echocardiographic examinations. Missing clinical data were supplemented by a questionnaire to the general practitioner. Two retrospective examination time intervals were defined as a second interval of <2 years (1.3 ± 0.4) and a first interval of >2 years (6.0 ± 2.4) dating back to the initial examination (maximum of 10.6 years prior to the last examination). Results: During 6.0 ± 2.4 years, the mean pressure gradient increased from 24.2 ± 13.6 to 38.1 ± 20.4 mm Hg (p <0.0001); respectively 2.1 ± 3.0 mm Hg/year in the first time period and 4.2 ± 8.2 mm Hg/year in the second time period (p = 0.049), for the entire population. According to severity, patients with mild or moderate aortic stenosis showed an increase from 2.0 ± 2.7 to 4.0 ± 6.6 mm Hg/year (p = 0.04) or from 2.2 ± 3.2 to 3.5 ± 10.9 mm Hg/year respectively (p = 0.66). The group with severe aortic stenosis had an increase of 9.6 ± 12.0 mm Hg/year (group too small for statistical analysis). During the total examination period, left ventricular mass index increased from 149 ± 60 g/m2 to 168 ± 63 g/m2 (p <0.0001), which corresponds to an increase of 3.2 to 7.8 g/m2 per annum (p = 0.52), and the relative wall thickness increased from 40.0 ± 8.5 to 43.0 ± 9.8% (p = 0.002). Ejection fraction remained stable and we found no correlation between etiology, vascular risk factors and progression of the disease. Conclusions: Progression of the mean pressure gradient in patients with aortic stenosis went from 2 mm Hg/year for mild stenosis, to 4 mm Hg/year for moderate stenosis. We found no correlation to conventional vascular risk factors. In patients with mild aortic stenosis and preserved left ventricular ejection fraction, echocardiographic follow-up every 3 to 5 years, until a mean transvalvular pressure gradient of 30 mm Hg is reached, might be a safe and cost-effective follow-up strategy. In patients with more severe aortic stenosis, follow-up has to be more frequent.
背景:主动脉瓣狭窄患者的管理是具有挑战性的,因为只有很少的数据表明进展率和相关决定因素的相关性。我们研究了对长期进展、病因和血管危险因素的分析是否有助于确定最佳控制时间间隔。方法:我们在一个转诊中心纳入77例超声心动图证实主动脉狭窄的患者(年龄51.1±14.3岁)(平均梯度>12 mm Hg),并进行了三次超声心动图检查的长期随访。通过对全科医生的问卷调查来补充缺失的临床数据。两次回顾性检查时间间隔定义为第二次间隔为2年(6.0±2.4年),可追溯到首次检查(最长10.6年,最后一次检查)。结果:在6.0±2.4年期间,平均压力梯度从24.2±13.6 mm Hg增加到38.1±20.4 mm Hg (p <0.0001);第一个时间段为2.1±3.0 mm Hg/年,第二个时间段为4.2±8.2 mm Hg/年(p = 0.049)。根据严重程度,轻、中度主动脉狭窄患者分别从2.0±2.7 mm Hg/年增加到4.0±6.6 mm Hg/年(p = 0.04)或从2.2±3.2 mm Hg/年增加到3.5±10.9 mm Hg/年(p = 0.66)。重度主动脉瓣狭窄组升高9.6±12.0 mm Hg/年(组太小,无法统计分析)。在整个检查期间,左室质量指数从149±60 g/m2增加到168±63 g/m2 (p <0.0001),相当于每年增加3.2 ~ 7.8 g/m2 (p = 0.52),相对壁厚从40.0±8.5增加到43.0±9.8% (p = 0.002)。射血分数保持稳定,我们发现病因、血管危险因素和疾病进展之间没有相关性。结论:主动脉狭窄患者的平均压力梯度的进展从轻度狭窄的2 mm Hg/年,到中度狭窄的4 mm Hg/年。我们发现与常规血管危险因素无相关性。对于轻度主动脉瓣狭窄并保留左心室射血分数的患者,每3 - 5年进行一次超声心动图随访,直到平均经瓣压力梯度达到30 mm Hg,这可能是一种安全且具有成本效益的随访策略。对于主动脉瓣狭窄更严重的患者,随访必须更频繁。

Non-diphtheria corynebacteria are normal commensals of the skin and mucous membranes of humans. Increasingly, however, these saprophytic organisms are being recognized as pathogens. Patients infected with these bacteria typically have an underlying immunosuppressive process and/or an indwelling venous catheter. Pleuropulmonary infection with Corynebacterium striatum is rare. We present a patient with diabetes mellitus who developed an intrapulmonary abscess due to C. striatum.
