Acromegaly in Speckle Tracking Echocardiography-A New Cardiac Hypertrophy Phenotype? Case Report and Review.

Background: This study aims to provide a comprehensive overview of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) findings in patients diagnosed with acromegaly, exploring a potential application for the differential diagnosis of cardiac hypertrophy and guiding clinicians in patient management. To our knowledge, this is the first review showcasing changes in the bull's-eye pattern in myocardial function after acromegaly treatment, suggesting a possible pattern in this aetiology of left ventricular hypertrophy.

Methods: A review of PubMed articles using the search term "speckle tracking echocardiography acromegaly" yielded 11 relevant papers published between 2017 and 2023.

Extremely rare coronary anomaly as cause of palpitations: a case report of single right coronary artery-multimodality imaging and its impact on treatment decisions.

Background: We report the case of a 63-year-old white Caucasian male patient admitted to the clinic because of atypical angina and palpitations. Other comorbidities included hypertension, hyperuricaemia, and hypercholesterolaemia. He was admitted to a tertiary cardiac centre for deepened diagnostics of his complaints.

Anomalous left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) in adult patients - a multimodality imaging approach.

Purpose: Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery from the pulmonary artery (ALCAPA) is a rare congenital ano-maly of the origin of the coronary arteries. The prevalence of this anomaly in the adult patient population is low, and therefore there is virtually no original research on this topic. Reports are limited to case reports.
