Abstract

Eighty-one young Japanese patients with occlusive thromboaortopathy (Takayasu's disease), including nine men, were followed up prospectively for 7.4 +/- 5.8 years (mean +/- standard deviation) after the established diagnosis. These patients were classified according to the presence and severity of four major complications (Takayasu's retinopathy, secondary hypertension, aortic regurgitation and aortic or arterial aneurysm) attributed to Takayasu's disease at the time when the diagnosis was established: no complications (group I) or mild single complication (group IIa) and severe single complication (group IIb) or multiple complications (group III). When the data were analyzed with the left table method, severe events attributed to TAkayasu's disease, as well as death, were used as end points. Seven of the 81 patients were surgically treated; 2 of the 7 died and 1 had severe events postoperatively. In the remaining 74, the 10 year cumulative eventless survival rate after the diagnosis in combined groups I and IIa (44 patients) and combined groups IIb and III (30 patients) was 97.0 +/- 2.9 (mean +/- standard error of the mean) and 58.6 +/- 11.3 percent, respectively (p less than 0.002). These data are useful for predicting death ...Continue Reading

Cardiac Aneurysm

Aneurysm refers to a bulge of the wall or lining of a vessel commonly occurring in the blood vessels at the base of the septum or within the aorta. In the heart, it usually arises from a patch of weakened tissue in a ventricular wall, which swells into a bubble filled with blood. Discover the latest research on cardiac aneurysm here.

Aortic Aneurysm

An aortic aneurysm is the weakening and bulging of the blood vessel wall in the aorta. This causes dilatation of the aorta, which is usually asymptomatic but carries the risk of rupture and hemorrhage. Find the latest research on aortic aneurysms here.

Aortic Coarctation

Aortic coarctation is a congenital condition characterized by narrowing of the aorta. Discover the latest research on this disease here.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
