What is Hyde syndrome?

What is Hyde syndrome?

Heyde syndrome is a multisystem disorder characterized by the triad of aortic stenosis (AS), gastrointestinal bleeding, and acquired von Willebrand syndrome. Heyde syndrome is an uncommon condition that can lead to severe morbidity and mortality if not recognized promptly.

Why is Venus called Earth’s sister?

Venus is sometimes called Earth’s twin because Venus and Earth are almost the same size, have about the same mass (they weigh about the same), and have a very similar composition (are made of the same material). They are also neighboring planets. However, Venus and Earth are also very different.

What causes Heyde’s syndrome?

Heyde syndrome is a triad of aortic stenosis, an acquired coagulopathy and anaemia due to bleeding from intestinal angiodysplasia. The evidence that aortic stenosis is the root cause of this coagulopathy is compelling. Resolution of anaemia usually follows aortic valve replacement.

Why is Venus upside down?

Venus also orbits the Sun anti-clockwise, but its unusual axis rotation is due to being upside down – it was knocked off its upright position earlier in its history! Astronomers believe that at some point, a colliding celestial body tilted Venus so far off its original position that it is now upside down.

What is a TAVR procedure?

Transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) is a procedure that replaces a diseased aortic valve with a man-made valve. Aortic valve replacement can also be performed with open-heart surgery; this procedure is surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR).

Is Earth named after God?

All of the planets, except for Earth, were named after Greek and Roman gods and godesses. The name Earth is an English/German name which simply means the ground. It comes from the Old English words ‘eor(th)e’ and ‘ertha’.

How is Heyde syndrome treated?

The definitive treatment for Heyde’s syndrome is surgical replacement of the aortic valve. Recently, it has been proposed that transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) can also be used for definitive management.

What is Gallavardin phenomenon?

The Gallavardin phenomenon is a physical exam finding in patients with aortic valve stenosis. Auscultation at the cardiac apex reveals a murmur that sounds holosystolic and may mimic the murmur of mitral regurgitation.
