Background: Unicuspid aortic valve (UAV) is a rare valvular heart disease and a challenging diagnosis. Advanced imaging techniques, particularly cardiac computed tomography (CT), appear to be invaluable tools to correctly identify this disease pre-operatively, as this may have an impact on the optimal surgical treatment.
Case Summary: We describe the case of a young patient admitted with heart failure, due to a severely stenotic UAV.
Article Synopsis
- Electrical injuries can lead to serious health issues, particularly cardiac damage, which can be life-threatening.
- A case study highlights a young patient who experienced acute myocardial damage from an occupational electric shock, with assessments conducted via MRI both early on (day 4) and later (up to month 18).
- Managing and estimating risks in such cases is difficult due to the lack of existing data and guidelines for similar non-lethal electrical injuries.
