Evaluation of diastolic dysfunction and repolarization dispersion in Behcet’s disease

摘要: Abstract Behcet's disease is a generalized chronic inflammatory characterized by genital, ocular, and cardiovascular involvement. Recently, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction, arrhythmia sudden cardiac death have been documented in disease. From January 1996 to May 1998, we investigated systolic function, valvular heart disease, ischemic repolarization dispersion 71 cases, 40 men 31 women (mean age, 36.8±10.3 years) with All of the results were compared control group 33 22 37.9±9.6 years). Exercise stress test or myocardial perfusion scintigraphy was performed for documentation ischemia. patients controls recorded M-mode, 2-D Doppler echocardiography. Ventricular wall thickness, apparatus, parameters evaluated. Repolarization calculated as difference between maximal minimal values QT from 12-lead electrocardiogram recording at baseline, immediate end recovery exercise tests. The measured using statistical methods. In (31%) E/A ratio P =0.003). isovolumic relaxation time (IRT) mitral deceleration (MDT) longer than ( =0.002, =0.041, respectively). A mean 368±30 ms 73±14 patient 395±39 38±12 controls. There no groups however,
