A 40-year-old woman presented with new-onset heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) accompanied systemic symptoms, including arthralgia, cutaneous lesions, and Raynaud’s phenomenon. Initial investigation led to the diagnosis of lupus erythematosus (SLE), subsequent finding dilated cardiomyopathy, a rare but severe secondary manifestation SLE. Early recognition appropriate management underlying autoimmune conditions can lead substantial improvement in cardiac function, emphasizing...
Recent heart failure (HF) guidelines have re-classified HF patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) between 41% and 49% as mildly reduced (HFmrEF). HFmrEF treatment is often considered a grey zone no randomized controlled trials (RCTs) were conducted exclusively on these patients.
Abstract Introduction Malignant colonic occlusion is traditionally considered a surgical emergency. With the development of endoscopic techniques, metallic stents have emerged to ensure patency in nonsurgical candidates and, more recently, as temporary measure until elective resection surgery possible.
