Background : Dual-chamber pacing is believed to have an advantage over single-chamber ventricular pacing. The aim of the study was determine whether elderly patients with implanted pacemaker for complete atrioventricular block gain significant benefit from dual-chamber (DDD) compared demand (VVIR). Methods: designed as a double-blind randomized two-period crossover study—each mode maintained 3 months. Thirty (eight men, mean age 76.5 ± 4.3 years) PM were submitted standard protocol, which...
Primary cardiac tumors are uncommon during infancy and childhood. Myxomas originating from the right ventricle even less common in pediatric patients. Here we describe a case of an 11-year-old Tunisian boy who was referred for syncope. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed large mobile mass attached to his ventricle, obstructing ventricular outflow tract. Complete surgical excision with preservation pulmonary valve performed. The diagnosis myxoma histologically confirmed. Cardiac myxomas...
Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from pulmonary is a rare congenital anomaly and one causes myocardial ischemia. The usual clinical course severe left-sided heart failure mitral valve insufficiency presenting during first months life.We report case 6-month-old Tunisian girl who presented with dilated cardiomyopathy. Echocardiography suspected anomalous artery. definitive diagnosis was reached by multislice computed tomography angiography.In cases cardiomyopathy, syndrome has to...
Congenital coronary artery fistula is a rare anomaly that may cause angina, atrial fibrillation, endocarditis, aneurysmal dilation and myocardial infarction. Both spontaneous regression life-threatening complications have been described. Treatment can be conservative, surgical or more recently through transcatheter closure. We report the case of 27-year-old Tunisian man with large from left anterior descending to right ventricle associated pulmonary stenosis. This patient underwent...
Cardiac hemangiomas are benign tumors with an unpredictable natural history. Surgical resection is the treatment of choice; however, conservative management can be alternative in some patients. We report a case left-sided cardiac hemangioma that we managed conservatively for 11 years without obvious major complications patient, adult woman.
A Fontan operation is performed to provide palliation for patients with many forms of highly complex congenital heart disease that cannot support a biventricular circulation. Increasing numbers women who have undergone these connections in childhood are now reaching their childbearing years, and some becoming pregnant. The low flow fixed cardiac output circulation poses several problems during pregnancy. We report the case four successful pregnancies 31-year-old Tunisian woman tricuspid...
Right ventricular apical pacing-related heart failure is reported in some patients after long-term pacing. The exact mechanism not yet clear but may be related to left dyssynchrony induced by right septal pacing thought deteriorate function less frequently because of a more normal activation pattern. We report the case 55-year-old Tunisian woman with preserved function, implanted dual-chamber pacemaker for complete atrioventricular block. major dyssynchrony, severe ejection fraction...
La cardiomyopathie hypertrophique néonatale est une entité rare, hétérogène regroupant plusieurs formes cliniques et donc de diagnostic étiologique difficile. Nous rapportons lobservation dun nouveau né issu dune grossesse gémellaire, ayant présenté à la naissance un tableau dinsuffisance cardiaque, léchocardiographie avait conclut obstructive. Le bilan était négatif notamment mère non diabétique. Lévolution favorable avec régression lhypertrophie 2 semaines après naissance....
Heart sarcomas are scarce neoplasms with various clinical features and known to be great imitators of several representations.This article presents a case cardiac metastatic sarcoma complicated by infective endocarditis in 35year-old female patient history rheumatic fever, brain surgery, Covid-19 infection.The diagnosis was based on echocardiography, computed tomography biopsy results.Despite receiving six weeks antibiotic treatment, the patient's prognosis bleak due lack effective...
Abstract Background ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the leading cause of cardiovascular related mortality. In context Inferior STEMI, culprit artery whether right coronary (RCA) or left circumflex (LCx). An accurate prediction prior to primary percutaneous intervention (PCI) could improve door-to-balloon time and prevent contrast-induced-nephropathy. However algorithms established for that purpose were not evaluated within Tunisian population. We aimed then assess their...
The coronary artery with an interarterial course CAIAC is the most threatening anomaly, especially if it concerns left coronary. Percutaneous intervention PCI scarcely described given its low prevalence and lack of long-term outcome data. Therefore, we assessed through this case series feasibility safety in population.
Congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries is a rare heart defect that can be associated with systemic ventricular dysfunction and conduction disturbances. The use cardiac resynchronization therapy in patients congenital disease not fully established, achievement successful pregnancies after implantation transvenous, biventricular system has never been described, which resulted significant clinical improvement. We describe 33-year-old female congenitally arteries, who...
Cardiac Hibernomas are very rare benign tumors and usually remain asymptomatic. Neonatal cardiogenic shock due to cardiac is extremely rare. Until this date a few cases of hibernoma have been reported in the literature. Transthoracic echocardiography help differential diagnosis, but definitive diagnosis histological. The management strategy not clearly codified. Aim report discuss clinical features Hibernoma review relevant literature.We describe case 2-day-old Caucasian full-term male...
