Article Synopsis
- Myocardial infarction (MI) is increasingly common among young women under 50, yet there is limited research on this demographic's specific risk factors and outcomes compared to older women.
- A study analyzed data from 197 hospitalized women, finding that young women had high rates of smoking, hypertension, and diabetes, and typically presented with chest pain and monovessel disease, with a noteworthy number admitted late for treatment.
- The findings indicate that while young women have fewer cardiovascular risk factors overall, they experience unique challenges such as a higher prevalence of certain conditions and different presentation patterns of MI compared to older women.
Background: In Tunisia, the number of cardiac implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) is increasing, owing to the increase in patient life expectancy and expanding indications. Despite their life-saving potential and a significant reduction in population morbidity and mortality, their increased numbers have been associated with the development of multiple early and late complications related to vascular access, pockets, leads, or patient characteristics.
Objective: The study aims to identify the rate, type, and predictors of complications occurring within the first year after CIED implantation.
Introduction: Lightheadedness, syncope, dyspnea, chest pain, palpitation, loss of consciousness (LOC) or malaise are a frequent reason for consultation in school-age children (SAC). The yield of holter monitoring (HM) in the investigation of these symptoms in SAC is still controversial given the scarce studies.
Aim: To determine the prevalence of baseline ECG abnormalities and those detected in HM in SAC, and to assess the predictive factors of abnormal HM test.
Background: Heart failure (HF) is a serious and frequent pathology. It represents a major public health problem. We have few data about this pathology in our country.

Their simultaneous presence in the same patient is extremely rare. We aimed to present a rare case of concomitant association of ventricular aneurysm and VSR complicating an inferior myocardial infarction.
