Thymoma as an Incidental Finding in a Myocardial Perfusion Study with 99mTc-MIBI
The differential diagnosis of a mediastinal mass includes benign and malignant etiologies like lymphomas, thymic tumors, thyroid goiter, infections such as tuberculosis, chronic granulomatous disorders such as sarcoidosis, germ cell tumors, among others. Based on its location, they can be classified as anterior, medium or posterior.
Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy and the Troponins: The Enigma Remains
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heart muscle disorder and is the most common form of Mendelianinherited heart disease, affecting approximately 0.2% of the global population. In adults the disease is often inherited as an autosomal dominant trait caused by mutations, mainly in one of the 23 cardiac sarcomere protein genes.
The Fatal Interplay between Stress Induced Cardiomyopathy, Arrhythmia and Cardiogenic Shock
A 59-year-old man presents to the hospital following a syncopal episode after a low-speed car accident without visible injuries. He was diagnosed with stress cardiomyopathy and severe triple-vessel coronary artery disease. The case was complicated by complete heart block that culminated in refractory cardiogenic shock. Literature and current approach are reviewed.
Immunomodulatory Effects of Cell Therapy after Myocardial Infarction
Myocardial infarction (MI) due to coronary artery stenosis compromises vascular endothelial integrity and increases vascular permeability. Concurrently, ensuing myocardial tissue death and necrosis results in the release of danger associated molecular patterns (DAMPs), cytokines, chemokines, bioactive lipids, as well as activation of the complement cascade.
COVID Pneumonia, Non-ST Elevation Myocardial Infarction, QRS Fragmentation, and Electrocardiographic Wavy Triple or Yasser's Sign in Hodgkin Lymphoma-Prognostic Influence and Serious Outcome
The COVID-19 virus with severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has a remarkable effect on morbidity and mortality. Non-ST elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI) is a category of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) that may represent a primary cardiac manifestation of COVID-19 disease. The QRS-complex fragmentation had been considered a hallmark of structural heart disease. Wavy triple, an electrocardiographic sign (Yasser’s sign) is a new specific diagnostic sign and therapeutic guide for hypocalcemia.
