Boerhaave syndrome, a rare yet frequently fatal diagnosis, is characterized by the spontaneous transmural rupture of esophagus. The classic presentation syndrome Mackler's triad, consisting chest pain, vomiting, and subcutaneous emphysema. However, rarely presents with all features triad; instead, common includes or epigastric severe retching dyspnea, shock. These symptoms are typically misdiagnosed as cardiogenic in origin. Due to its atypical presentation, rarity, mimicry emergent...
Coronary microvascular dysfunction (MVD) is a syndrome of abnormal regulation vascular tone, particularly during increased metabolic demand. While there are several risk factors for MVD, some which similar to those coronary artery disease (CAD), the cause MVD not understood. We hypothesized that in symptomatic non-elderly subjects would be characterized by specific lipidomic profiles. Subjects (n = 20) aged 35-60 years and referred computed tomography angiography (CTA) chest pain but who...
A 29-year-old woman who had factor V Leiden thrombophilia and an indwelling venous catheter for chronic pain therapy presented with dyspnea, fever, abdominal pain. Computed tomography revealed septic pulmonary emboli surrounding consolidation thrombus extending from the superior vena cava to right atrium (Fig. 1), as well wedge-shaped splenic infarcts 2). Blood cultures grew Staphylococcus aureus. transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) showed a large patent foramen ovale (PFO); severe...
