Chagas disease is a systemic illness characterized by acute and chronic phases. If untreated, it can lead to dysfunction of vital organs, notably the heart, ultimately resulting in heart failure. Transmission primarily occurs through feces triatomine insects carrying protozoan parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, either via bite wound or intact mucous membranes. Diagnosis involves serological tests, electrocardiographic findings, imaging studies. A 58-year-old male patient from Peru with dilated...
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy is a biventricular disease in which the effect on left ventricle can be either equivalent to or more severe than that right ventricle. It rare due its low reported prevalence and typically becomes clinically evident during second fourth decade of life. represents 4% sudden cardiac death cases referred for autopsy 10% unexplained arrest. We present challenging case report 68-year-old man who arrived at emergency room with chest discomfort, palpitations,...
A 31-year-old man was referred to our hospital because of exertional dyspnea and palpitations. Cardiac examination revealed a systolic murmur in the pulmonic area. Owing suspicion pulmonary stenosis, cardiac magnetic resonance notable for apical hypertrophy right ventricle mixed stenosis. (Level Difficulty: Intermediate.).

Infective endocarditis is a challenging diagnosis that usually requires cardiovascular image confirmation as part of the approach.
PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging is one of the most useful tools for clinicians when assessing coronary artery disease, due to its increasing availability, it superb importance recognize physiological basis and basic principles interpretation.The common protocols make use Rubidium or Ammonia as radiotracers evaluate myocardial perfusion these agents have different characteristics, caveat that an on-site cyclotron needed short half-life.PET-MPI exhibits abnormalities not only on epicardial...
Myxomas represent the most common benign primary cardiac tumor, they usually grow out of interatrial septum into left atrium with a pedunculated base. Intracardiac masses can be found incidentally on imaging studies, but symptomatology may arise secondary to mass effect, embolization, and valvular function impairment. We present case 75-year-old woman who arrived at emergency department atrial fibrillation NSTEMI segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) highly vascularized neoplasm...
