Thymoma as an Incidental Finding in a Myocardial Perfusion Study with 99mTc-MIBI
Myocardial perfusion imaging is a nuclear medicine imaging technique that allows to make an approach to the coronary condition in patients with moderate probability to have coronary artery disease. 99mTc MIBI myocardial perfusion is one of the most common techniques in nuclear medicine clinical practice. Extracardiac accumulation of the tracer is relatively common, and can be seen in certain tumors with high metabolic rate, due to the radiotracer’s mitochondrial preference.
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.
Diagnostic Value of Lung Ultrasonography in Comparison with Killip Classes after Angiography in Acute Myocardial Infarction: A Study from Iran
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with heart failure (HF), is the main cause of increased mortality. Early risk stratification by Killip classification is essential for its management. Today, non-invasive diagnostic methods such as lung ultrasound (LUS) are on the rise due to their ability to provide valuable insights without invasive methods. In this study we aimed to evaluate diagnostic value of LUS in comparison with Killip classes after angiography in AMI patients.
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.
