Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is common in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and can be challenging to manage. Atrioventricular nodal (AVN) ablation may be an effective management strategy for AF in these patients.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the efficacy of AVN ablation in HCM patients who have failed medical therapy and/or catheter ablation for AF.
Article Synopsis
- Acute ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is usually caused by blocked coronary arteries but can be mimicked by eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis (EGPA) myocarditis.
- A 44-year-old woman experiencing chest pain and shortness of breath was found to have unobstructed coronary arteries, leading to a diagnosis of EGPA myocarditis through various imaging and testing methods.
- The patient significantly improved with steroid and cyclophosphamide treatment, highlighting the importance of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) in diagnosing rare cases that resemble STEMI.
Oscillations of arterial pressure occur spontaneously at a frequency of approximately 0.1 Hz coupled with synchronous oscillations of sympathetic nerve activity ("Mayer waves"). This study investigated the extent to which corresponding oscillations may occur in ventricular action potential duration (APD).

We describe a case of Blastoschizomyces capitatus pneumonia in an otherwise healthy female and review the clinical presentation, microbiological characteristics, and treatment for B.
