Abstract Background The incidence of tuberculous (TB) infection varies greatly geographically. In endemic countries, it is one the major etiologies pericardial diseases, whereas an uncommon cause in industrialized countries. mortality rate TB pericarditis complications up to 40%, empasizing importance early diagnosis and management. Case summary An 82-year-old woman presented with fever, dry cough constitutional symptoms for two weeks. electrocardiogram showed low-voltage complexes, chest...
The impact of digoxin on outcomes patients with advanced heart failure (HF) remains uncertain and its effect may be different for in atrial fibrillation (AF) or sinus rhythm (SR).To determine the HF to assess whether prognosis differs AF SR.A total 268 consecutive admitted an intensive care unit decompensated were evaluated. Patients divided into two groups: A - (n=89), B SR (n=179). For each group we compared medicated not digoxin. mean follow-up 3.3 years was performed.Addition...
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) in athletes is a tragic event, with some evidence remaining controversial. The aim of this study was to evaluate cases SCD Portugal within the last 20 years.
Abstract A 17-year-old woman was admitted due to a complete atrioventricular block. Comprehensive analytic and imaging studies were conducted determine the aetiology. Cardiac magnetic ressonance revealed concentric hypertrophy of left ventricle diffuse intramural late enhancement gadolinium. Genetic testing identified heterozygous pathogenic variant in desmin gene. To manage block, dual-chamber pacemaker implanted. During follow-up, no spontaneous ventricular activity detected.

Abstract Presentation We report a case of 44-year-old woman with past medical history dyslipidemia under atorvastatin, overweight and depression, that presented to the emergency department 1-month dyspnea. On physical examination, blood pressure was within normal range, however she hypoxemic, needing oxygen via nasal cannula, tachycardic. Pulmonary auscultation revealed basal crackles. Blood workup showed discrete leukocytosis, increased C-reactive protein, mild hypertransaminasemia troponin...
A 35-year-old male, with a medical history of acute myocarditis, presented palpitations. Further investigation revealed non-sustained ventricular tachycardia and slightly reduced left systolic function. Cardiac magnetic resonance showed extended late gadolinium enhancement the ventricle fat infiltration. Genetic testing was positive for pathogenic desmoplakin mutation, fulfilling criteria arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy. In conclusion, authors described case mimicked myocarditis at young age...
Abstract Background Undercovering the etiology responsible for pathologic states is of uttermost importance, especially regarding young people. Arterial and venous thromboembolism may have an impact on morbidity mortality, enhancing need to prevent recurrences. Material methods Retrospective, single-centre analysis 24-h Holter monitoring in patients with thrombotic events less than 40 years during a 5-year period, using IBM® SPSS® software perform descriptive analysis. Results conclusions...
