Acute thrombotic occlusion involving three coronary arteries. A unique association with COVID-19 pneumonia.

Key Clinical Message: Respiratory viruses, particularly COVID-19, can be associated with severe cases of myocardial infarction (MI). Physicians should have a low threshold for MI in COVID-19 patients who present with persistent chest pain as MI in rapidly deteriorating cases can be missed. Prompt response includes both timely diagnosis and swift treatment.

Dilemma in approach to stroke in sickle cell disease patient: A case report.

Introduction: Cerebrovascular accidents in sickle cell disease (SCD) patients carry a high socioeconomic impact and represent the most important cause of morbidity, neurological deficits, and impaired quality of life in SCD young population.Patent foramen ovale (PFO) is prevalent in 25% of the general population and it is associated with ischemic stroke in the young population via paradoxical embolism, yet there are no specific guidelines to address how to manage SCD patients with PFO who suffer a stroke.

Patient Concerns And Diagnosis: Here we present a young SCD patient, aged 24 years, who suffered a stroke in childhood and later was discovered to have a PFO on subsequent echocardiography.

Impact of the COVID-19 control measures on rural households' access to social capital for mobilizing resources in Eastern Ethiopia.

Physical distancing and mobility restriction measures are used as central components of the COVID 19 response globally. In Ethiopia, the measures have been implemented against a complex social structure wherein social support practices (in the form of social capital) and daily social interactions are embedded. However, the mechanism of how such measures interact with various social capital practices and shape household access to various types of resources during the pandemic are less understood.

Severe Subvalvular Aortic Stenosis in a Pregnant Woman.

A 35-year-old pregnant female in her second trimester presented with heart failure manifestations with evidence of very severe fixed left ventricular outflow tract obstruction. The peak systolic gradient was 132 mmHg, which is the highest reported in the literature, secondary to congenital subaortic membrane. Similar case reports that we could find in the literature were reviewed to highlight the importance of such anomaly.

Dasatinib-Induced Pleural and Pericardial Effusions.

Chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) is a myeloproliferative disease associated with the Philadelphia chromosome and fusion gene. Tyrosine kinase inhibitors (TKI) are now the standard therapy for this condition. Among the approved TKIs for CML is dasatinib.

Acute myocarditis following administration of BNT162b2 vaccine.

The wide use of vaccines was linked with rare but serious complications in adults, causing a global concern. Here, we describe a young male patient, who presented with acute myocarditis, three days after the second dose of BNT162b2 vaccine.

The cardiovascular implication of single nucleotide polymorphisms of chromosome 9p21 locus among Arab population.

Background: Based on several reports including genome-wide association studies, genetic variability has been linked with higher (nearly half) susceptibility toward coronary artery disease (CAD). We aimed to evaluate the association of chromosome 9p21 single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs): rs2383207, rs10757278, and rs10757274 with the risk and severity of CAD among Arab population.

Materials And Methods: A prospective observational case-control study was conducted between 2011 and 2012, in which 236 patients with CAD were recruited from the Heart Hospital in Qatar.
