We report a case of acute viral pericarditis and cardiac tamponade in patient with COVID-19 to highlight the associated treatment challenges, especially given uncertainty safety standard treatment. also discuss complications delayed diagnosis patients who potentially may need mechanical ventilation. Large pericardial effusion should be considered decompensate further after intubation ventilation.The characteristics are described.A successful approach for light differing opinions over NSAID...
Abstract Background GATA transcription factors are evolutionary conserved zinc finger proteins with multiple roles in cell differentiation/proliferation and organogenesis. 5 is only transiently expressed the embryonic heart, inactivation of both Gata5 alleles results a partially penetrant bicuspid aortic valve ( BAV ) phenotype mice. We hypothesized that biallelic mutations could be disease causing. Methods A total 185 patients different forms congenital heart CHD were screened along 150...
Actinomycosis is a chronic suppurative infection caused by filamentous Gram-positive bacilli, leading to purulent discharge due sulfur granule formation. Thoracic actinomycosis represents around 20% of Actinomyces infections, with endobronchial involvement being fairly uncommon. Pulmonary should be considered in the differential diagnosis non-resolving lobar pneumonia or mass suspicious for malignancy on biopsy. A case presenting as post-obstructive and mimicking right upper lobe carcinoma,...
Background: Coronary bifurcation lesions are commonly encountered during coronary angiography. The management of remains challenging, with various techniques being available and outcomes varying depending on the Medina classification operator experience. Methods: We present a short case series new technique for simple ‘0,0,1’ using kissing balloon-stent (kissing BS). Results: retrospectively identified 8 patients who underwent stenting Balloon-Stent technique, along their clinical...
The development of coronary artery disease (CAD) is strongly influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Monozygotic twins represent a unique population that provides insights into the interaction genetic, environmental, social factors their effects on CAD.Two 54-year-old identical presented to an outside hospital with acute chest pain. Twin B developed pain after witnessing A in distress from episode. Electrocardiogram performed each them was diagnostic ST-elevation myocardial...
Abstract Background Thrombelastography (TEG), an ex-vivo clotting assay can identify subjects at high risk of subsequent coronary thrombotic events. Synthesis factors is subject to post-translational regulation, which modulated least in part by miRNA. Hypothesis We hypothesized that miRNA sequencing may specific linked with measures hypercoaguability TEG. Methods Kaolin activated thrombelastography was performed platelet poor citrate plasma from 61 referred for cardiac catheterization. Time...
Sinus of Valsalva aneurysm is a rare defect that can present with fatal complications in case rupture. Heart failure symptoms are common due to high fraction the resultant shunt. Multimodality imaging and invasive hemodynamic assessment essential for comprehensive evaluation guiding surgical planning. We describe 40-year-old woman who presented heart was found have ruptured sinus on transthoracic echocardiogram. Cardiac computed tomography angiography further characterized associated...
Background: Circulating miRNA have the potential to become reliable biomarkers for risk stratification and early detection of cardiovascular events. Methods: In a single center cohort study, whole blood was collected from 437 subjects undergoing cardiac catheterization, who were followed recurrent events during mean follow up 1.5 years. We selected case (n=22) with thrombotic on standard medical therapy (stent thrombosis (n=6) or spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI) (n=16)) matched CAD,...
Evaluation of acute coronary syndromes (ACS) in young women presents a clinical challenge. An unremarkable angiogram may not exclude ACS, as spontaneous lesion revascularization, resolved spams, or dissection (SCAD) can often be missed. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) provide useful information myocardial infarction (MI) by confirming and sizing delineating the etiology when angiography is inconclusive. Here, we report case 39-year-old postpartum woman with history hyperlipidemia...
Acute myocardial ischemia and infarction from retrograde dissection of the aortic root into coronary ostia is a potentially fatal condition. Unrecognized type A at time angiography for acute syndrome (ACS) carries high burden morbidity mortality. Cardiac computed tomography (CCTA) has emerged as one instrumental tools in diagnosis involvement dissections. We present case ACS secondary to extending right artery (RCA) suspected during confirmed by CCTA. The patient was managed surgically with...
Purpose: The role of GATA5 in the morphogenesis aortic valve has been recently elucidated mice knock out model. Growing evidence demonstrates that genetic defects might be responsible for various forms congenital heart diseases (CHDs) humans. published results however were neither supported by functional data, nor proper controls. aim this proposal is to unravel such diseases, and establish a well-defined genotype/phenotype association. Methods: Blood was collected from children with CHD....
