Revision of the Jones Criteria for the Diagnosis of Acute Rheumatic Fever in the Era of Doppler Echocardiography
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: Acute rheumatic fever remains a serious healthcare concern for the majority of the world's population despite its decline in incidence in Europe and North America. The goal of this statement was to review the historic Jones criteria used to diagnose acute rheumatic fever in the context of the current epidemiology of the disease and to update those criteria to also take into account recent evidence supporting the use of Doppler echocardiography in the diagnosis of carditis as ...

BACKGROUND: Kawasaki disease is an acute self-limited vasculitis of childhood that is characterized by fever, bilateral nonexudative conjunctivitis, erythema of the lips and oral mucosa, changes in the extremities, rash, and cervical lymphadenopathy. Coronary artery aneurysms or ectasia develop in approximately 15% to 25% of untreated children and may lead to ischemic heart disease or sudden death.
METHODS AND RESULTS: A multidisciplinary committee of experts was convened to revise the ...

Monocrotaline (MCT)-induced pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) in rats is preceded by an inflammatory response, progressive endothelial cell membrane disruption, reduction in the expression of caveolin-1, and reciprocal activation of STAT3 (PY-STAT3). Superoxide and NF-kappaB have been implicated in PAH. To evaluate the role of caveolin-1, PY-STAT3 activation, and superoxide in PAH, MCT-injected rats were treated daily with pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC; starting on days 1, 3, and ...

Patterns of orthostatic intolerance: The orthostatic tachycardia syndrome and adolescent chronic fatigue
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVES: To describe the orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (OTS) in adolescents, similarities to and differences from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and patterns of orthostatic intolerance during head-up tilt (HUT).
STUDY DESIGN: Using electrocardiography and arterial tonometry, we investigated the heart rate and blood pressure responses during HUT in 20 adolescents with OTS compared with 25 adolescents with CFS, 13 healthy control subjects, and 20 patients with simple faint.
RESULTS: ...

Prevention of bacterial endocarditis. Recommendations by the American Heart Association.
[ PUBLICATION ]
OBJECTIVE: To update recommendations issued by the American Heart Association last published in 1990 for the prevention of bacterial endocarditis in individuals at risk for this disease.
PARTICIPANTS: An ad hoc writing group appointed by the American Heart Association for their expertise in endocarditis and treatment with liaison members representing the American Dental Association, the Infectious Diseases Society of America, the American Academy of Pediatrics, and the American Society ...

BACKGROUND: Despite advances in medical, surgical, and critical care interventions, infective endocarditis remains a disease that is associated with considerable morbidity and mortality. The continuing evolution of antimicrobial resistance among common pathogens that cause infective endocarditis creates additional therapeutic issues for physicians to manage in this potentially life-threatening illness.
METHODS AND RESULTS: This work represents the third iteration of an infective ...

OBJECTIVES: To demonstrate the association between orthostatic intolerance and the chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS) in adolescents and to delineate the form that orthostatic intolerance takes in these children.
STUDY DESIGN: We investigated the heart rate and blood pressure (BP) responses to head-up tilt (HUT) in 26 adolescents aged 11 to 19 years with CFS compared with responses in adolescents referred for the evaluation of simple faint and to responses in 13 normal healthy control ...

The role of vasopressin and atrial natriuretic factor in postoperative fluid retention after the Fontan procedure
[ PUBLICATION ]
The Fontan procedure results in right atrial distention and is complicated by fluid retention. Since systemic fluid balance may be hormonally mediated in part and related to right atrium size, we measured plasma atrial natriuretic factor and plasma arginine vasopressin levels in 19 patients undergoing the Fontan procedure and in 12 control patients undergoing other types of heart operations. Preoperative plasma atrial natriuretic factor levels were higher in patients undergoing the ...

Disruption of Endothelial-Cell Caveolin-1α/Raft Scaffolding During Development of Monocrotaline-Induced Pulmonary Hypertension
[ PUBLICATION ]
BACKGROUND: In the monocrotaline (MCT)-treated rat, there is marked stimulation of DNA synthesis and megalocytosis of pulmonary arterial endothelial cells (PAECs) within 3 to 4 days, followed by pulmonary hypertension (PH) 10 to 14 days later. Growing evidence implicates caveolin-1 (cav-1) in plasma membrane rafts as a negative regulator of promitogenic signaling. We have investigated the integrity and function of endothelial cell-selective cav-1alpha/raft signaling in MCT-induced ...
