Saw-tooth cardiomyopathy.

We present an unusual case of cardiomyopathy in a two month old male infant with a grade-I systolic murmur. Echocardiographic examination disclosed left ventricular (LV), dysplasia with saw-tooth like inwards myocardial projections extending from the lateral walls towards the LV cavity. There was mild LV systolic dysfunction with apical hypokinesia.

Fatal cardiac arrest due to an unusual fibroma of the pulmonary valve.

Fibroma, the second most common tumor in childhood, usually is a large solitary mass involving the ventricular septum or the left and rarely the right free ventricular wall. An unusual case of a 5.2-year-old boy with a large mass originating from the pulmonary valve is reported.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance evaluation of patients with transposition of the great arteries following atrial switch surgical correction.

We present a method of imaging patients with surgically corrected transposition of the great arteries using cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and we describe the findings from a typical case. Cardiac magnetic resonance is superior to other imaging methods for patients with complex congenital heart diseases, both for establishing the initial diagnosis and for subsequent follow-up after surgical therapy.
