Recreational drug use is a significant public health concern in various countries. It well understood that usage of psychedelics/hallucinogens, such as lysergic acid diethylamide (LSD), ecstasy, phencyclidine (PCP), and psilocybin-containing mushrooms, has increased significantly over the last few decades, particularly adolescents young adults, yet effects these recreational drugs are poorly understood. Psilocybin recently been studied an alternative to traditional antidepressant therapies...
Durvalumab is a monoclonal antibody that blocks programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1). It has been recently approved for the treatment of advanced urothelial and non-small lung cancer (NSCLC) with more favorable side effect profile compared to traditional chemotherapy agents. We present case durvalumab-induced myocarditis complicated by complete heart block (CHB). A 71-year-old male history atrial flutter status post ablation, type 2 diabetes mellitus, hypertension, carcinoma started on...
Chagas disease (CD), caused by Trypanosoma cruzi, is a leading cause of cardiomyopathy in Latin America that can lead to heart failure, arrhythmias, and sudden cardiac death (SCD). We present case 71-year-old female from El Salvador with symptomatic ventricular tachycardia (VT) requiring emergent cardioversion implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) due CD. Diagnostic evaluation limited unclear cases chronic disease. Treatment involves antiparasitic therapy, failure management,...
Myxedema coma is a rare and life-threatening consequence of severe hypothyroidism, often precipitated by physiologic stressors. While cardiac manifestations are common, they typically reversible with prompt treatment. Here, we report case 23-year-old male untreated hypothyroidism who presented myxedema coma-induced cardiomyopathy leading to refractory cardiogenic shock requiring veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) and, ultimately, orthotopic heart transplantation...
Eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) is a rare type of that can present acutely with rapidly progressing symptoms leading to high rates morbidity and mortality. EM defined by eosinophilic infiltration the myocardium be difficult diagnose even gold-standard techniques, such as endomyocardial biopsy (EMB), given possibility patchy myocardial infiltration. Here, we case idiopathic complicated cardiac arrest was empirically treated high-dose intravenous steroids after negative EMB. The patient’s...
Constrictive pericarditis (CP) is a disease primarily affecting the pericardial sac surrounding heart. The constrictive physiology placed on heart chambers can lead to clinical presentations mimicking failure and possibly primary liver disease. diagnosis often be missed attributed other etiologies until patient undergoes extensive workup rule out each potential etiology. Diagnosis delayed, leading suboptimal outcomes mortality rates. Here, we present case of CP initially presenting with...
Description of Case: A 76-year-old man with type 2 diabetes and a previously drained hepatic abscess presented 3 days fevers chills associated dizziness, weakness, fatigue after hiking at New York State Park. He denied any shortness breath, chest pain, abdominal diarrhea, skin rashes, insect bites, IV drug use, recent travel or sick contacts but reported having dental work one month prior to admission. Initial vital signs were notable for fever 38.4°C blood pressure 145/76, heart rate 90,...
Background: Myxedema coma (MC) is a rare manifestation of severe hypothyroidism often seen in elderly female patients. While the sequelae MC can lead to multi-organ involvement and eventual failure, irreversible Heart Failure (HF) rarely seen. This case culminated orthotopic heart transplant (OHT) for definitive treatment. Case Presentation: A 23-year-old male presented with worsening RUQ abdominal pain 2 weeks. In ED, he had PEA arrest ROSC, was admitted CCU presumed cardiogenic shock, labs...
Description of Case: A 64 year old female with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, and type 2 diabetes presented to the emergency room for 3-4 months progressively worsening bilateral lower extremity weakness associated edema, but without any reports pain. The patient had significant impairments in her daily function now required a cane ambulate. was found have significantly impaired strength extremities particular involvement proximal thigh muscles. noted markedly elevated creatine phosphokinase...
