A Rare Presentation of Acute Renal Failure Secondary to Rhabdomyolysis in a Patient Due to Atorvastatin Requiring Short-Term Renal Replacement Therapy.

Renal failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis due to statins is quite rare. We present a case of a 57-year-old patient who developed acute renal failure due to rhabdomyolysis secondary to atorvastatin. Interestingly, this patient had a similar presentation 27 years ago requiring dialysis only once resulting in complete resolution of symptoms.

A Case Report on the Incidental Diagnosis of a Left Atrial Myxoma in a Patient Presenting With Right Shoulder Pain and Inter-scapular Back Pain.

Primary cardiac tumors are rare, and myxoma is a rare benign primary cardiac tumor in adults, commonly found within the left atrium. The presentation can vary from patients being asymptomatic to pulmonary embolism or stroke. Smaller atrial myxomas are usually asymptomatic, however, larger ones can cause symptoms such as dyspnea, orthopnea, cough, peripheral edema, palpitations, and fatigue.

Prevalence of Depression in Patients With Post-Acute Coronary Syndrome and the Role of Cardiac Rehabilitation in Reducing the Risk of Depression: A Systematic Review.

Patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) or ischaemic heart disease are at risk of developing anxiety and depression. This systematic review aims to identify the various risk factors and the role of cardiac rehabilitation in reducing the risk of depression in patients after AMI. In this review, we included data on the prevalence of depression in patients post-AMI for the years 2016-2017 from a cardiac rehabilitation unit at Morriston Hospital, Swansea, a primary coronary angioplasty centre.

Acute Renal Impairment in Patients Due to Paracetamol Overdose in the Absence of Hepatic Impairment.

In general, paracetamol poisoning is associated with hepatotoxicity and very rarely with renal impairment in the absence of significant hepatic impairment. Paracetamol poisoning associated with renal impairment is rare, and it is mostly associated with hepatotoxicity. Most patients with acute renal impairment show a pattern of acute tubular necrosis or injury based on their blood, clinical presentation, and imaging.
