Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is an anatomic measure of calcified atherosclerosis. Myocardial perfusion defects and reduced myocardial blood flow reserve (MBFR) are physiological measures ischemia coronary circulatory health. We aimed to assess the relative prognostic importance MBFR, defects, CACS in patients with suspected disease.A total 5983 consecutive without known history disease or cardiomyopathy, who underwent a 82Rb positron emission tomography imaging between 2010 2016,...
Hydatid disease is a life-threatening parasitic infestation caused by Echinococcus granulosus. Infection with E. granulosus typically results in the formation of hydatid cysts liver, lungs, kidney, and spleen. Primary intracranial cyst extremely rare. Here, we are reporting an unusual case Echinococcus, where only identifiable lesion was brain without liver or lung involvement. We also providing description for surgical technique used to remove cyst, highlighting possible pitfalls.The...
Myocardial infarction with no obstructive coronary atherosclerosis (MINOCA) is a distinct clinical syndrome characterized by evidence of myocardial normal or near-normal arteries on angiography (stenosis severity < 50%). Coronary artery spasm, as seen in “variant angina,” usually occurs at localized segment an epicardial artery. Here, we present case 58-year-old male who had norepinephrine-induced vasospasm which resulted ST elevation two consecutive admissions.
A 40-year-old African American woman presented with dyspnea, orthopnea, weight gain, and ankle edema. She was admitted for acute decompensated heart failure. Coronary angiography revealed coronary cameral fistula. We used multiple imaging modalities to confirm the fistula's pathway. Her left ventricular systolic function improved after repair of (Level Difficulty: Beginner.)
Iatrogenic complete heart blocks are rare but a reported complication of left catheterizations in patients with pre-existing right bundle branch blocks. We present the case an 84-year-old male preexisting block who underwent catheterization for valve replacement evaluation. While attempting to engage coronary artery, catheter instead crossed aortic valve, causing patient become bradycardic 20s and hypotensive. The had temporary transvenous pacer inserted tolerated rest procedure well. cause...
To determine the level of glycemic, blood pressure (BP), and lipids control among patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) attending National Center for Diabetes, Endocrinology Genetics to factors associated poor control.A cross-sectional study 1200 Jordanian DM was included in this during period December 2017-December 2018. We reviewed charts these until January 2020. Data obtained from medical records information about sociodemographic variables, anthropometric measurements, glycated...
Introduction: Hypovolemia is frequently seen in cancer patients due to catabolism, cachexia, and decreased oral intake. However, volume status assessment this population often difficult competing comorbid conditions such as edema. Elevated B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) an established biomarker of myocardial wall stress with hypervolemia. We sought determine if very low BNP could be objective marker hypovolemia Hypothesis: In undergoing treatment, level (<10 pg/mL) associated small...
Ascending (type A) aortic dissection can rarely result in contained transverse pericardial sinus hematoma that compresses adjacent structures making diagnosis more challenging. We present a rare case of 77-year-old man who presented with sudden-onset chest pain and was admitted for presumed acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography did not show significant stenosis ruled out Transthoracic echocardiogram showed extracardiac structure compressing on the left atrium; hence, we performed...
