Article Synopsis
- Monocytes, a type of immune cell, move to areas of injury in the body, and this process is controlled by changes to proteins.
- In people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a protein called PRMT7 is found in higher amounts in lung tissue, especially in a type of immune cell known as macrophages.
- Reducing PRMT7 can lead to fewer monocytes reaching injury sites, which means less damage and inflammation, suggesting that blocking certain protein changes might help treat inflammatory conditions.
Cardiac echinococcosis is a rare condition, and its manifestations are protean depending upon its site of infestation. We report a case of hydatid heart disease presenting like an acute cardiac ischemic episode associated with a rise in serum cardiac enzymes secondary to left ventricular free wall dissection caused by ruptured intramyocardial echinococcal cyst. The resultant complex cardiac anatomy was characterized fully by echocardiographic examination.
