Unusual survival time of primary cardiac sarcoma of the right ventricle.

Primary cardiac sarcomas are rare tumors with unfavorable prognosis. We report a 69-year-old male with a right ventricular mass diagnosed as primary malignant cardiac sarcoma with unexpected long survival of 16.5 months.

Atrioventricular Nodal Re-entrant Tachycardia Ablation: Unusual Function of Slow Pathway.

Slow pathway (SP) ablation is an acceptable, standard method for atrioventricular nodal re-entrant tachycardia (AVNRT) ablation. The exact role of SP in the human heart and the possible negative implications of SP ablation are unknown. The current case report describes an unusual, brief, functional heart block, following radiofrequency ablation of the SP.

Automatic implantable cardioverter defibrillator for the treatment of ventricular fibrillation following coronary artery spasm: a case report.

Coronary artery spasm is an infrequently recognized condition that causes Prinzmetal's angina and specific electrocardiographic changes. A 50-year-old man who suffered a spontaneously aborted acute inferior myocardial infarction is presented. He underwent cardiac catheterization, which initially showed a normal coronary artery.
