“…It is commonly became in isolation but can be together with other vascular abnormalities. The most commonly seen form is PLSVC draining into CS, and PLSVC is commonly associated with a smaller caliber right SVC (2). LSIVC is relatively less prevalent (0.2%-0.5%) than PLSVC (3) and develops due to the persistence of the left supracardinal vein(4).…”

Systemic venous anomalies without other congenital heart defects are usually asymptomatic and often found incidentally during a vascular intervention or other surgery. A 60-year-old man with DDD cardiac permanent pacemaker was admitted to the emergency department with syncope and total atrioventricular block due to end-of-life of the permanent pacemaker. The lead of the transient pacemaker could not be advanced via transfemoral access to the right ventricle. Venography revealed that the left-sided inferior vena cava drained into the persistent left superior vena cava, and both continued with the coronary sinus. To avoid unexpected events, venography should be performed to detect venous congenital anomalies during transient or persistent pacemaker implantation. Keywords: Persistent left superior vena cava, left-sided inferior vena cava, pacemaker end-of-life, atrioventricular total block Erciyes Med J 2018; 40(3): 172-4 •

BackgroundDiabetes mellitus is a non-infectious disease that has a high prevalence worldwide. Altered level of many haematological parameters have been observed in patients with diabetes. The levels of lipids are also affected in diabetes by many factors since carbohydrate metabolism affect lipid metabolism. So far, very little work has been done linking haematological parameters and lipid profile in diabetics. The purpose of this study was therefore to evaluate the haematological parameters and lipid profiles of patients with type-2 diabetes and to correlate the results.MethodThree hundred and four (304) patients with type-2 diabetes with an age range of 28 to 70 years (171 males and 133 females) were recruited. About 5 ml of venous blood samples were collected from each participant after an overnight fast. A part of the blood samples was used to determine the lipid profile parameters and the other parts for the haematological parameters. The Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) version 21.0 and Microsoft office excel (2010) for windows were used for the statistical analysis of the data. Pearson’s correlation were performed between haematological and lipid parameters. Significance was set at p < 0.05.ResultsThe means and standard deviation of all the lipid parameters except TC showed significant difference in both males and females. There was also proportional increment in LDL-C (in males), LDL-C and Triglycerides (in females) as the age of participants increased and the ratio of TC/HDL was higher in males. There was also significant difference in all of the haematological parameters between the male and female populations. Further, a strong, significant positive correlation between RBC and lymphocytes and lipid parameters was observed. However, the correlation between platelets, haematocrit and haemoglobin and the lipid parameters was negatively significant.ConclusionFrom the results obtained, it can be concluded that there is significant difference in lipid parameters between male and female diabetic patients. Levels of LDL-C and Triglycerides increased as the age of participants increased and the male population showed increased risk for coronary disease. Almost all of the haematological parameters examined differed significantly between the sexes. There was also, both strong positive and negative correlations between the haematological parameters and the lipid profiles.
