We report the case of a 42-year-old female, affected by mitral valve prolapse and ventricular arrhythmias, who died suddenly from ventricular fibrillation recorded during Holter monitoring. The lethal arrhythmia initiated with late diastolic couplets followed by a ventricular tachycardia that
BACKGROUND
This case study features a woman who presented with clinical and laboratory findings consistent with hyperosmolar hyperglycemic non-ketotic syndrome (HHNS), systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), and non-thyroidal illness syndrome (NTIS) who was noted to have a transient decrease
Background: Stress cardiomyopathy (Takotsubo cardiomyopathy) is very rare in the central nervous system (CNS) demyelinating disorders. Although this dysfunction of the heart-brain axis has been reported in several case series related to multiple sclerosis (MS),
Amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis (AIT) is a complication of amiodarone therapy that can be difficult to diagnose and manage, especially in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). We describe a 47-year-old female patient with DCM who experienced the sudden onset of type II AIT with symptoms
The effect of 4 mg Molsidomine iv. followed by a continuous infusion of 3 mg per hour for 3 hours on arterial blood pressure, pulmonary artery pressure, cardiac index, peripheral and pulmonary vascular resistance and heart rate was evaluated in eleven patients suffering from chronic heart failure
Congestive heart failure (CHF) is a chronic disease process affecting multiple organ systems and is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 43-year-old male with a history of unspecified cardiomyopathy who presented to the hospital with abdominal pain, distention,
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a syndrome characterized by transient regional systolic dysfunction of the left ventricle in the absence of angiographic evidence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). A variety of stress-related triggers, including malignancies, have been reported in
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TC) is an uncommon entity. It is known to occur in the setting of extreme catecholamine release and results in left ventricular dysfunction without evidence of angiographically definable coronary artery disease. There have been no published reports of TC occurring with
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM) is a rare but reversible myocardial left ventricular (LV) dysfunction, which mimics acute coronary syndrome (ACS) without the presence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD). Emotional stressors may include the death of kin or a life-threatening medical diagnosis
Cardiomyopathy is a progressive disease of myocardium causing either mechanical or electrical disturbances. Sepsis-induced cardiomyopathy (SICM) is an entity of cardiomyopathy which is reversible in 1â€"2 weeks after recovery from sepsis or septic shock. SICM is thought to have unpredictable
Myocardial ischaemia may be defined as a deficiency in cardiac energy supply relative to energy demand. In coronary artery disease (CAD), oxygen supply is limited due to coronary obstruction so energy production is not enough to meet the energy demands for work. Several reports involving about 2500
Kawasaki disease is a systemic vascular inflammatory disorder of yet unknown cause that is associated with critical cardiovascular complications. Several long-term medical therapies, coronary revascularization, and heart transplant have been introduced to treat coronary artery lesions. This report
Thyrotoxic periodic paralysis (TPP) and cardiomyopathy are two established complications of thyrotoxicosis. Emergent management is essential as TPP and cardiac events secondary to thyrotoxic cardiomyopathy can be fatal. We report a unique case of a patient with Graves' disease presenting with
Bilateral renal infarction is a rare phenomenon which can be difficult to diagnose because the symptoms may often mimic renal calculi, infection, muscle inflammation, genital diseases, myocardial infarction, or ischemia. We present the case of a 55-year-old male patient who presented with
