Coronary artery disease (CAD) and ischemic heart (IHD) are often indistinctly used terms. Both combined have generated, over the past years, concerns about sex disparities in their presentation. From an epidemiological perspective, females several disadvantages regarding prevention, diagnosis, treatment of CAD. Most general cardiovascular risk factors affect women more frequently, or with a higher morbidity mortality association. Besides, atypical manifestations uncommon forms CAD represent...
Pentalogy of Cantrell (POC) consists 5 congenital defects that include the heart, pericardium, sternum, diaphragm, and anterior abdominal wall. The reported incidence varies between 1:65,000 1:200,000 births,1Cantrell J.R. Haller J.A. Ravitch M.M. A syndrome involving wall, heart.Surg Gynecol Obstet. 1958; 107: 602-614PubMed Google Scholar it is crucial to promptly identify these patients correct all associated anomalies. Patients with pentalogy usually have ectopia cordis, a condition where...
Congenital aortic diseases (CAoD) encompass a wide variety of disorders that range from asymptomatic findings to life-threatening conditions. Multiple imaging techniques are available for the assessment CAoD.We present seven case reports congenital diseases, including obstructions in arch (coarctation, hypoplasia, and interruption) vascular rings, which clinical manifestations throughout cases discussed, highlighting heterogeneity symptoms.Multi-imaging indispensable CAoD, where cardiac...
Abstract Background Saw-tooth cardiomyopathy (STC) is an unusual type of left ventricular dysplasia. To our knowledge, six cases have been reported in the literature. Two new are presented with a review all case reports that published. Case summary patients STC were examined. The first one was 69-year-old woman shortness breath on mild exertion and chest pain, second 49-year-old man history myocardial infarction who required stent implantation now asymptomatic. Both revealed findings cardiac...
Increased systolic pulmonary arterial pressure (sPAP) could lead to the mechanical dysfunction and myocardial fibrosis of right heart chambers. Echocardiographic strain analysis has not been adequately studied in patients with hypertension (PH).
Background: In patients with inferior myocardial infarction (MI), involvement of the right chambers has a prognostic impact. The objective this study was to evaluate influence left ventricular (LV) wall MI in atrial (RA), and (RV) longitudinal strain (LS) by 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE). Methods: 60 consecutive who underwent perfusion (MP) gated SPECT for chest pain were included. We studied 30 LV control subjects normal MP. RV ejection fraction measured 3D transthoracic...
Uma mulher de 41 anos idade veio ao atendimento emergência com início dispneia aguda, ingurgitamento jugular, e o primeiro som cardíaco diminuído, seguido um sopro holossistólico grau III/IV que era melhor ouvido no vértice edema das extremidades inferiores. Os sinais vitais eram frequência cardíaca 91 bpm, respiratória 21 rpm, pressão arterial 110/60 mmHg saturação oxigênio 91%. O raio X do tórax mostrou cardiomegalia índice [...]
Papillary fibroelastomas (PFE) are the third most common primary cardiac tumor with an incidence of up to 0.33% in autopsy series.Most patients PFE clinically asymptomatic isolated tumors; multiple rare.We present a case 70-year-old man cardiovascular risk factors and ischemic heart disease, whom during echocardiographic assessment pediculated, highly mobile echo-dense masses tricuspid valve were incidentally identified.He was afebrile had no clinical signs or biochemical evidence suggesting...
Microvascular angina refers to chest pain associated with coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD).A new paradigm in cardiology was entrenched when the WISE studies demonstrated that may be present patients non-obstructive artery disease (NOCAD).Statistically, there is a higher number of cases women.The prevalence NOCAD has been perceived recent years reaching up 20-30% all CAD.60% symptoms not any sign obstructive (OCAD).In 2015, COVADIS group established diagnostic criteria for...
PET Myocardial Perfusion Imaging is one of the most useful tools for clinicians when assessing coronary artery disease, due to its increasing availability, it superb importance recognize physiological basis and basic principles interpretation.The common protocols make use Rubidium or Ammonia as radiotracers evaluate myocardial perfusion these agents have different characteristics, caveat that an on-site cyclotron needed short half-life.PET-MPI exhibits abnormalities not only on epicardial...
Heart diseases are the main cause of mortality in Mexico, being coronary heart disease most frequent country. Its high prevalence makes important study pathophysiology and search for prognostic factors. Different genes polymorphisms promote atherogenesis artery disease, they affect inflammatory vascular pathological processes. Interferon regulatory factor 5 (IRF5) is associated with it promotes chronic inflammation cytokines release; could trigger immune reactions its activating receptors...
We present two cases of coronary aneurysms in paediatric patients.The first case was an 8-year-old patient diagnosed with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), 3 months before the formation giant that could be considered a 'Kawasaki-like disease'.The second 7-year-old 'classic' Kawasaki complicated all arteries and inferior myocardial infarction.The objective this Image Focus is to compare ones post-COVID-19 patient.Both were cardiac computed tomography.The most impressive finding...
Introduction: Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) is a rare heart disease that encompasses an atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance accounts for less than 1 percent congenital diseases. Objective: To present atypical case man with complex conduction anomalies. Case Presentation: This 34-year-old patient who came to hospital week dyspnea on exertion episodes lipothymia. The was referred our after electrocardiogram from his primary care evidence...
We present the case of a young male patient with an initial diagnosis rhabdomyoma that was surgically treated at different hospital when he 17. After 2-year disease-free period, presented another intra-cardiac mass. He refused surgical treatment and died 5 years later. Post-mortem immunochemistry studies both tumors led to primary malignant cardiac PEComa histopathologic characteristics resembled abundant "spider cells."
Ebstein's Anomaly (EA) is a complex and rare congenital cardiac disorder, representing 1% of all heart diseases; characterized by right ventricular myocardial abnormalities with malformation the tricuspid valve causing dilation "atrialization".EA can have wide variety clinical presentations depending on degree anatomical abnormality.We present 22-year-old male patient EA diagnosed in 2008 at age 10, had no symptomatology until seven years later when abruptly he presented dyspnea, syncope,...
