Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a form of non-ischemic that can present with signs heart failure and volume overload; it often mimics acute coronary syndrome. It characterized by stress-induced transient left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. Echocardiography classically demonstrates LV apical ballooning akinesis in typical TCM, although other less common variants exist. Patients typically one variant.

•LV, RV, RA, and LA bubbles were noted in two patients without active infusion.•Bubbles detected the portal hepatic veins IVC one patient.•Patients at risk for vein gas portosystemic pulmonary shunting.•The cases literature review support an intestinal origin of bubbles.•The finding intracardiac may indicate cirrhosis-related pathology.
Introduction: Cryptogenic strokes account for up to 40% of ischemic strokes. Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a known cause stroke. Current data shows that occult AF can be detected by implantable devices at higher rates than conventional cardiac rhythm monitoring. There are, however, limited available on risk factors and outcomes associated with detection loop recorders (ILRs). Objective: To investigate the ILR in patients cryptogenic Methods: We conducted retrospective chart review admitted...
