Akselere nodal ritim ile prezente olan akut romatizmal ateş vakası

Akut romatizmal ateş hâlen dünyanın çoğu gelişmekte olan ülkelerinde kalp hastalığının en önemli nedenidir. Kardit, akut romatizmal ateşin akut kalp yetersizliği ve kronik kalp kapak hastalığına neden olan en ciddi bulgusudur. Uzun PR aralığı akut romatizmal ateşte sıklıkla görülmekle birlikte, değişik EKG anormallikleriyle de kendini gösterebilir. Bu makalede, on üç yaşındaki erkek vakada akselere nodal ritimle kendini gösteren akut romatizmal ateş vakası sunulmuştur.

A patient with rheumatic fever presented by accelerated nodal rhythm

Rheumatic fever is still most common cause of heart disease in many developing countries. Carditis is the most serious manifestation of the rheumatic fever, since it may cause acute heart failure or culminate in chronic valvular heart disease. Long PR intervals are found commonly in rheumatic fever, but may be found in many other settings. In this paper, 13 years old boy with rheumatic fever carditis, presented by accelerated nodal rhythm is presented.
