Giant Metastatic Intracardiac Malignant Fibrous Tumor Presenting with Supraventricular Tachycardia: A Case Report.

Solitary fibrous tumors (SFTs) are rare neoplasms originating from fibroblastic mesenchymal cells. This case report details a 43-year-old female patient with cardiac SFT, a rarity in the medical literature, who presented with palpitations and a known malignancy. Supraventricular tachycardia was diagnosed in the emergency department, and a subsequent echocardiography revealed a giant mass in the left atrium after sinus rhythm restoration.

Do Sodium-Glucose Cotransporter 2 Inhibitors Decrease the Risk of Contrast-Associated Acute Kidney Injury in Patients with Type II Diabetes Mellitus?

Background: The risk of contrast-associated acute kidney injury is relatively higher in patients with diabetes mellitus compared to non-diabetics. Recent trials have revealed the renoprotective effects of sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 (SGLT2) inhibitors. We aimed to investigate the possible preventive effect of SGLT2 inhibitors against contrast-associated acute kidney injury in the diabetic population who underwent coronary angiography with a diagnosis of stable angina or acute coronary syndrome.

Could Acute Myeloid Leukemia Have Presented Even Worse? "Uncommon Cause of Concurrently Multivessel Thrombosis".

Acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) is a subgroup of acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Although it is known that hemorrhagic complications are common, thrombotic complications are not as rare as thought. However, myocardial infarction and ischemic stroke incidence are very rare during AML.

The prognostic value of P-wave dispersion and left atrial functions assessed with three-dimensional echocardiography in patients with cirrhosis.

Background: Cirrhotic cardiomyopathy (CCM) is a well-known entity. The aim of this study was to compare left atrial three-dimensional (3D) volume and P-wave dispersion (PWd) in patients with cirrhosis and a healthy population. The secondary purpose was to assess the left phasic volumes and reservoir functions with 3D echocardiography for the prediction of an increased risk of poor outcomes in patients with cirrhosis.
