Uncommon ascaris induced eosinophilic myocarditis simulating acute coronary syndrome without ST segment elevation: A case report.

Introduction: and importance: is a nematode parasite that causes ascariasis Cardiac involvement in ascariasis is uncommon and rarely reported in the literature.

Case Presentation: We present the case of 45 years-old man, with previous medical history of ascaris infection one week before his admission to the emergency department for acute chest pain. The electrocardiogram revealed ST-segment and T wave abnormalities in septo-apico-lateral and inferior leads, along with high levels of troponin T and eosinophil blood cells count, while transthoracic echocardiography showed lateral and inferior walls motion abnormalities.

Massive pulmonary embolism complicating mild Covid 19 pneumonia: Successful systemic thrombolysis using rt-PA in an elderly patient: A case report.

Introduction: and importance: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is still a major health concern around the world, and its link with SARS Cov-2 has led to an increase in morbidity, mortality, and ICU hospitalizations.

Case Presentation: We present the case of a 92-year-old man with no prior medical history who admitted to our hospital in a state of acute respiratory failure, echocardiography revealed an acute right heart syndrome with a thrombus in the right atrium, computed tomography pulmonary angiogram revealed bilateral massive pulmonary embolism as well as Covid-19 pneumonia. He was treated with systemic thrombolysis using intravenous rt-PA (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) with immediate clinical improvement and no hemorrhagic complications.

Myocardial infarction revealing a pleuropericardial cyst: a case report.

Pericardial cysts are a rare entity, accounting for 6-7 percent of all mediastinal masses. They are frequently congenital relating to a failure of fusion of mesenchymal layers forming the pericardial space. Pericardial cysts are considered rare incidental findings, they are mostly asymptomatic and benign, however life-threatening complications may occur.

When a Peripartum Cardiomyopathy Patient Hides Various and Serious Risk Factors for Recurrent and Fatal Thromboembolic Events Even Under Well-Conducted Oral Anticoagulation.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare cause of heart failure that occurs during the final month of pregnancy through about five months after delivery, without any other known cause, and it increases the risk of thromboembolic events by many folds. A 38-year-old female with a history of peripartum dilated cardiomyopathy was admitted to our hospital, one month after a cesarean section, for severe breathlessness. Examination revealed signs of global heart failure and right deep vein thrombosis.

Acute pulmonary embolism as an initial presentation of Klinefelter syndrome.

Venous thromboembolism (VTE) includes deep vein thrombosis and its complications and pulmonary embolism. Cancer, surgery, prolonged immobilization, fractures, paralysis, use of oral contraceptives, and hereditary coagulopathies are classic risk factors for VTE. An increased incidence of VTE has been reported in patients with Klinefelter syndrome (KS), with a reported prevalence of 0.
