In patients with sarcoidosis suspected cardiac involvement, late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) identifies those an increased risk of adverse outcomes. However, these outcomes are experienced by only a minority LGE, and identifying this subgroup may improve treatment in patients.To assess whether CMR phenotypes based left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) LGE (CS) associated during follow-up.This cohort study included consecutive...
BACKGROUND: Randomized trials in obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) have largely shown no prognostic benefit from revascularization. Although there are several potential reasons for the lack of benefit, an underexplored possible reason is presence coincidental nonischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM). We investigated prevalence and significance NICM patients with CAD (CAD-NICM). METHODS: conducted a registry study consecutive on angiography who underwent contrast-enhanced cardiovascular...
Background: There are few data on sex differences in suspected cardiac sarcoidosis. Methods: Consecutive patients with histologically proven sarcoidosis and involvement were studied. We investigated presenting features, involvement, the long-term incidence of a primary composite end point all-cause death or significant ventricular arrhythmia secondary points arrhythmia. Results: Among 324 patients, 163 (50.3%) female 161 (49.7%) male patients. Female had greater prevalence chest pain (37.4%...
BACKGROUND: In heart transplant recipients, right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may occur for a variety of reasons. Whether RV in the stable phase after transplantation is associated with long-term adverse outcomes unknown. We aimed to determine prognostic significance identified on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) at least 1 year transplantation. METHODS: consecutive recipients who underwent CMR surveillance, we assessed 2 measures function: ejection fraction and global...
The S1Q3T3 electrocardiographic (ECG) pattern is commonly described in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). However, it a nonspecific, nonsensitive ECG finding associated right heart strain that can be found other presentations as well. Most of these diseases are cardiac or origin and pathophysiology. Acute abdominal pathologies not well-known etiologies for this characteristic pattern. We present case postoperative colonic dilation ileus showed up acute, new atrial fibrillation (AF)...
Abstract Aims Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disorder associated with high risk of cardiovascular diseases. We aimed to determine the long-term prognostic value left and right ventricular (LV RV) systolic dysfunction in SSc patients clinically suspected cardiac disease. Methods Results conducted retrospective cohort study consecutive adults who had magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) for assessed two CMR measures LV RV function, ejection fraction (EF) feature tracking-derived...
Abstract Background and Aims Implementing societal recommendations for primary prevention implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICDs) in cardiac sarcoidosis requires an accurate diagnosis. However, diagnostic schemes are inconsistent often produce conflicting results. This study aimed to compare the discriminative accuracy of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) phenotyping with predicting long-term ventricular arrhythmic outcomes patients suspected sarcoidosis, regardless...
Abstract Aims In cancer patients with cardiomyopathy related to anthracyclines and/or trastuzumab, data regarding late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging are confusing. The prevalence ranges from 0% 30% and the patterns ill-defined. Whether treatment trastuzumab is associated LGE unclear. We aimed investigate these topics in a large cohort of consecutive suspected cardiotoxicity trastuzumab. Methods results studied 298 patients, analysed prevalence,...
Abstract Aims Current management of left ventricular (LV) thrombus relies on limited, non-contemporary, echocardiography-based studies. Data LV evolution and the associated embolic risk are scarce. We aimed to describe serial cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR)—the current reference standard for detection thrombus—and identify correlates no resolution with status. Methods results conducted a retrospective cohort study 107 consecutive patients who had 213 CMRs at median 255 days...
We aimed to determine the prevalence of right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction on cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and its impact long-term adverse outcomes in a large cohort cancer survivors treated with anthracycline-based chemotherapy.Consecutive anthracyclines who underwent clinical CMR for suspected anthracycline-related cardiomyopathy were studied. The primary endpoint was composite all-cause death or major cardiac events (MACE): heart failure hospitalization,...
Hirayama disease is a rare neurological condition also known as monomelic amyotrophy (MMA). It type of cervical myelopathy, which involves the anterior horn cells and affects distal upper extremities. self-limited, asymmetrical lower motor weakness hands forearms. Young males are more commonly affected. The hypothesized to occur due an asymmetric compression spinal cord by dural sac, however, exact mechanism(s) continue be investigated. We report case 20-year-old male who presented with...
May-Thurner syndrome, which is also known as iliac vein compression caused when an anatomical variant of the left common with a lateral or anterior spur compressed by right artery, resulting in thrombosis vein. It can present deep lead to pulmonary embolism chronic changes venous insufficiency lower limb. We report 27-year-old female pain abdomen, who was diagnosed have syndrome.
Metronidazole is a very commonly used drug for the treatment of ailments caused by bacteria and parasites. It can treat vast array conditions like rosacea, sexually transmitted diseases (STDs), liver abscess, bedsores, etc. comes with generic side-effects nausea, vomiting, dizziness, metallic taste, also rare paresthesia, syncope, cerebellar symptoms, psychosis but mania side-effect. Here, we present case metronidazole induced in 50-year-old male no past medical history who initially...
During the coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, sundry dermatological conditions related to COVID-19 pneumonia have been published. primarily affects respiratory system, but secondarily it also heart, kidney, brain, skin, spinal cord, etc. Herpes Zoster (HZ) is considerably important morbidity associated with pneumonia. Recrudescence of HZ occurs because latent varicella-zoster virus (VZV) predominantly decline in cell-mediated immunity (CMI). Abating CMI due increasing age, could occur if...
Intramural duodenal hematoma is an uncommon entity, usually associated with trauma. Spontaneous intramural even more rare phenomenon reported in patients anticoagulation therapy, gastrointestinal endoscopy procedure or coagulopathy. We report a case of spontaneous 30-year-old male as pancreatitis complication, very few cases have been known the past and still lot to be discovered about this pancreatitis. This condition can catastrophic consequences should managed appropriately.
Legionnaires disease is primarily a pneumonic illness with possible multisystem involvement. Major risk factors include immunodeficiency, smoking, alcoholism and chronic obstructive pulmonary among others. We report peculiar case of presenting diarrhea as the chief complaint no respiratory symptoms throughout course disease. The patient had for recent travel history or sick contacts. Acute not an uncommon manifestation disease, although isolated absence concurrent Legionella makes this...
Adult-onset Still's disease (AOSD) is a rare inflammatory disorder involving multiple systems. It can present wide range of symptoms like maculopapular rash, fever, and arthralgia, which may overlap with many other disorders, making it difficult to diagnose. Unknown etiology no diagnostic tests further make complex establish the diagnosis AOSD. We report case 30-year-old female who presented persistent joint pain, along positive antinuclear antibodies (ANA), diagnosed this condition. The...
Pseudo-Meigs' syndrome is defined as malignant ovarian tumor leading to ascites or/and pleural effusion, whereas Meigs' a triad of ascites, and benign tumor. The removal an underlying leads rapid improvement in patient symptoms both conditions. It rare phenomenon, only 1% tumors account for syndrome. We report case 70-year-old female presented with complaints shortness breath, vaginal bleeding, bloating, increased abdominal girth. X-ray lab workup revealed effusion raised CA 125 (cancer...
