The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has placed a significant strain on healthcare providers. As the number of patients continue to surge, workers are now forced find different approaches practicing medicine that may affect patient care. In addition, COVID-19 many cardiovascular complications clinical course patients. this article, we summarize impact and some challenges system will face during pandemic.
Clinical features and imaging presentation of myocarditis can overlap with other inflammatory or arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies. Desmoplakin (DSP) is an important structural cardiac protein. Mutations in the DSP gene are associated a variant right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Interestingly, this distinct genetic also present myocardial inflammation fibrosis pattern that may mimic forms including viral myocarditis, which raise clinical challenge. We report two cases cardiomyopathy,...
Aortitis is an uncommon cause of aortic aneurysms. Arterial inflammation can lead to irreversible vascular damage. Early recognition necessary for treatment prevent permanent consequences vessel inflammation.
Introduction Severe novel corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) causes dysregulation of the coagulation system with arterial and venous thromboembolism (VTE). We hypothesize that validated VTE risk scores would have prognostic ability in this population. Methods Retrospective observational cohort severe COVID-19 performed NorthShore University Health System. Patients were >18 years age met criteria for inpatient or intensive care unit (ICU) care. The International Medical Prevention Registry...
The coronavirus disease of 2019 (COVID-19) has posed a major challenge for providers and patients. A large number patients with atrial fibrillation, venous thromboembolism, or valvular heart are chronically anticoagulated vitamin K antagonists rely on frequent follow ups at anticoagulation clinics management their therapy. need isolation during COVID-19 pandemic can potentially limit access to health care including directly affect the chronic anticoagulation. Therefore, we created...
This case report describes a diagnosis of caseating mitral annulus calcification in female patient with history peritoneal dialysis who presented confusion and disorientation.
Introduction: Preeclampsia is a hypertensive disorder of pregnancy associated with cardiovascular disease. Systemic peripartum microvascular alternations have been implicated in pregnancies complicated by preeclampsia. Whether coronary dysfunction potential mediator preeclampsia-associated risk unknown. We aimed to determine whether individuals history preeclampsia measured cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at least 5 years postpartum. Methods: Women singleton and comparator group...
Background: Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality following heart transplantation (OHT). Noninvasive methods to detect CAV risk stratify OHT patients are needed. The value fully quantitative stress cardiac magnetic resonance imaging has been recently validated may be promising technique for surveillance. We aimed evaluate the feasibility CMR after OHT. Methods: enrolled asymptomatic recipients without coronary artery disease undergo regadenoson...
Introduction: Preeclampsia, a pregnancy-specific complication, is an established risk factor for long-term cardiovascular complications, including heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), however, the exact mechanism of this dysfunction remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize cardiac structure and myocardial tissue using magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in women history preeclampsia. We hypothesized that prior preeclampsia associated fibrosis or scarring. Methods:...
