“…The chief complaint at the first visit was heart failure-related symptoms ( 2 , 5 , 11 , 12 , 14 , 17 , 20 , 22 , 25 , 27 , 28 , 30 ), symptoms related to underlying tumors ( 4 , 7 - 10 , 13 , 15 , 16 , 18 , 19 , 21 , 23 , 24 ), and both ( 3 , 6 , 26 , 29 ) in 13, 13, and 4 previously published cases, respectively. About half of the patients presented with symptoms associated with heart failure at the first visit.…”

“…Preoperative right heart catheterization was performed in 12 cases ( 5 , 8 , 9 , 12 - 14 , 16 , 17 , 23 , 27 , 28 ), and follow-up right heart catheterization was performed in 6 cases after treatment ( 5 , 9 , 13 , 16 , 28 ). The pre-treatment cardiac output was 8.14-15.2 L/min ( 5 , 9 , 13 , 17 , 27 , 28 ), and an increase in the oxygen saturation level was noted in 8 cases ( 5 , 8 , 9 , 12 , 14 , 27 , 28 ). Interestingly, right heart catheterization revealed the presence of an arteriovenous fistula in some cases ( 14 ).…”

High-output Heart Failure Caused by a Tumor-related Arteriovenous Fistula: A Case Report and Literature Review

High-output heart failure caused by a tumor-related arteriovenous fistula in adults is a rare clinical condition. We herein report a case of high-output heart failure caused by an arteriovenous fistula associated with renal cell carcinoma and a literature review of 29 published cases to date. Renal cell carcinoma seems to be the most common underlying tumor. For the diagnosis, right heart catheterization and enhanced computed tomography are considered useful. The removal of the underlying tumor and arteriovenous fistula is the best treatment for heart failure.

Adverse clinical reactions (predominantly skin rashes) were seen in 14 of 50 patients receiving gold therapy for rheumatoid arthritis. In 11 of the 14 eosinophilia either accompanied or preceded the reaction. A further 9 patients who received gold developed eosinophilia alone. IgE levels were increased in 17 of the 20 patients with eosinophilia but were normal in 24 of 27 patients who received gold without apparent adverse effects. In only 1 patient on gold was a skin rash not accompanied by either eosinophilia or a raised IgE level. All eosinophil counts and IgE levels fell to normal after therapy was discontinued. It is suggested that eosinophilia may be the most common side effect of gold therapy and provides a useful guide for monitoring patients receiving gold salts. The strong association with raised IgE levels suggests that type 1 hypersensitivity may be the mechanism of these reactions.
