Spontaneous coronary artery dissection and valvular disease revealing an antiphospholipid syndrome in a young woman: Case report.

Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is characterized by hypercoagulability, manifesting as venous or arterial thrombosis, and pregnancy-related complications, such as fetal loss, pre-eclampsia, and eclampsia. These conditions occur in the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (aPL), including anticardiolipin antibodies (aCL) and/or a positive lupus anticoagulant (LA) test. Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) can manifest as a primary, isolated condition or be associated with connective tissue diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

A late-onset arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy unveiled by supraventricular tachycardia: Case report.

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a rare myocardial genetic disease that leads to heart failure and sudden cardiac death. The diagnosis of ARVC remains challenging given its variable presentation. A 66-year-old woman was admitted to our cardiac intensive care unit for the management of a left heart failure flare-up with an atrial flutter, which remains an atypical mode of the revelation of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) retained based the association of genetic predisposition, the presence of repolarization abnormalities on electrocardiogram (EKG), the occurrence of an episode of sustained ventricular tachycardia and imaging data.

Cannabis-induced myocardial infarction in a 27-year-old man: Case report.

Cannabis smoking has been reported as one of the risk factors for coronary heart disease, which can trigger in rare cases, an acute coronary syndrome (ACS). In this report, we present a case of a 27-year-old man presented with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) following cannabis consumption. The patient developed ST-segment elevation on the anterior and inferior leads.

Introduction: The complications of infective endocarditis (IE) are frequent and severe. Our aim was to study the clinical and paraclinical profiles and prognosis of vascular complications, observed in a cardiology unit in Oujda, Morocco. Among 57 patients hospitalized for IE between 2015 and 2020 at the cardiology unit, 19 patients, or 33.

Acute coronary syndrome: Uncommon presentation of multiple endocrine neoplasia.

Introduction: Myocardial infarction is usually due to thrombotic occlusion of a coronary vessel caused by rupture of a vulnerable atherosclerosis plaque. There is also the acute myocardial infarction with no evidence of relevant stenosis of the coronary artery, known as myocardial infarction with non-obstructive coronary arteries (MINOCA) such as Takotsubo, myocarditis and catecholamine induced cardiomyopathy. Pheochromocytoma is one of the causes of MINOCA.

Severe Myocardial Infarction Caused by Excessive Cannabis Consumption.

The cardiovascular effects of cannabis are not well known. Cannabis use has been shown to cause arrhythmia, including ventricular tachycardia, sudden death, and increase in the risk of myocardial infarction (MI). We report a 62-year-old woman with chronic cannabis abuse inducing MI complicated by cardiogenic shock, chronic dilated cardiomyopathy, and atrial fibrillation.

ST elevation revealing acute myocarditis with SARS cov 2 infection: Case report.

Introduction: SARS-CoV-2 viral infection can manifested by respiratory symptoms, or other symptoms, such as the cardiovascular manifestations including acute coronary syndrome, pericardial effusion, and heart failure.

Clinical Case: A 51-year-old patient admitted to the emergency room for epigastric pain with no respiratory signs and with an ST-segment elevation inelectrocardiogram that ultimately revealed myocarditis and SARS CoV-2 2 infection.

Conclusion: The clinical manifestations of SARS CoV-2 might be atypical, and the diagnosis might be considered in this pandemic area.

Cardiovascular injuries during COVID-19 infection: A PROCESS-compliant case series from the Eastern Morocco.

Background: To date, more than 105,805,951 cases of COVID-19 have been diagnosed including 2,312,278 deaths. Many patients have cardiovascular risk-factors and/or co-morbidities and a lot of them developed heart conditions during the active or the post-infectious phase of the infection. A number of studies tried to demonstrate an association between poor prognostic outcomes and cardiovascular comorbidities and related damages, but the quality of current evidence is still weak.

An Acute Limb Ischemia Concomitant With a Myocardial Infarction.

Acute limb ischemia (ALI) is an abrupt interruption of limb blood flow due to acute occlusion of the peripheral artery. Its concomitant occurrence with myocardial infarction (MI) constitutes a rare but serious clinical situation that worsens the functional prognosis of the affected limb or leads to the death of the patient. We report a case of an 87-year-old male patient who was diagnosed with acute left lower limb ischemia concomitant with MI.

Incidental Asymptomatic Giant Hydatid Cyst of the Interventricular Septum Bulging Into the Right Ventricle.

Hydatid disease is caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. Domestic animals like cats and dogs are the primary carriers of echinococcal organisms. This parasitosis is still endemic in some particular regions of the world.

The Surgical Management of a Giant Innominate Artery Aneurysm in a Patient With Coronary Disease: A Case Report.

The innominate artery aneurysm (IAA) accounts for a small percentage of all peripheral aneurysms. However, its clinical outcomes are potentially devastating, especially when it is associated with coronary disease, due to the high risk of spontaneous rupture and thromboembolic complications. Surgical repair is always recommended in such cases.

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.

Isolated Cardiac Hydatid Cyst Causing Complete Heart Block.

Cardiac hydatidosis is an unusual disease and the interventricular septum is infrequently involved. It can cause various complications because of rupture and embolization. Interventricular septal cysts, may in rare conditions, induce symptoms corresponding to compression of the conduction pathway such as atrioventricular block.

Association of Acute Pancreatitis and Myocardial Infarction: Is the Heart Victim or Culprit? - A Case Report and Review of the Literature.

Acute pancreatitis can be associated with electrical changes mimicking acute coronary syndrome with normal coronary arteries. The association of acute pancreatitis with ST-segment elevation and elevated cardiac enzymes has been reported in few observations. The pathophysiological mechanisms of this association remain poorly understood.
