Giant right coronary artery aneurysm presenting with recurrent syncope: A diagnostic challenge.

Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare form of coronary artery disease characterized by abnormal dilation of a coronary artery segment. While CAAs can present with various symptoms, syncope is notably uncommon, with limited documented cases. We present the case of a 24-year-old woman with a 2-month history of recurrent syncope, occurring in the absence of other symptoms.

Parachute tricuspid valve unique case and the first case in Somalia.

Atrioventricular valve parachute deformity is rare and is generally seen in the mitral position, called the parachute mitral valve. It is rare to see it in the tricuspid valve and up to now, there have been approximately 14 cases of parachute abnormalities in tricuspid valves in a literature review. We present here a 21-year-old male who presented to the emergency department with progressive shortness of breath over several months.

Inflammatory Markers and Aortic Aneurysms: Exploring the Role of Hs-CRP and MHR in Ascending Aortic Aneurysm Development.

Background: Aortic aneurysms, particularly those affecting the ascending aorta, pose significant health risks due to their potential to cause life-threatening complications such as rupture and dissection. While the etiology of ascending aortic aneurysms has traditionally been associated with non-inflammatory processes, emerging evidence suggests a potential role of inflammation in their development.

Methods: This study investigates the relationship between inflammatory markers and ascending aortic aneurysms, focusing on high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and the monocyte-to-HDL ratio (MHR).

A blunt traumatic giant pseudoaneurysm of the brachiocephalic artery: A case report from Somalia.

Introduction: Pseudoaneurysm of the brachiocephalic artery is a rare condition that can occur as a result of various causes, including trauma, iatrogenic injury, and infection. The clinical presentation of brachiocephalic artery pseudoaneurysms can vary depending on the size and location of the pseudoaneurysm. The treatment options for innominate artery pseudoaneurysms include both surgical and endovascular approaches.

Door-to-Balloon Time and Mortality Among Patients Undergoing Primary PCI, Challenges and Experience from Somalia's Largest PCI Center.

Introduction: The door-to-balloon time, the time between a patient's arrival at the hospital and percutaneous coronary intervention, is crucial for managing myocardial infarction. Aiming for less than 90 minutes is recommended, as shortened times are associated with improved outcomes. However, limited healthcare resources, infrastructure, transportation and poverty impact management, leading to poorer outcomes and delayed door to balloon time.

Outcomes of Women with Preeclampsia and Eclampsia Admitted in the Intensive Care Unit at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia.

Intensive care for a hypertensive mother with preeclampsia or eclampsia is crucial for both maternal and neonatal outcomes. This study highlights the level of morbidity and mortality among women with preeclampsia and eclampsia admitted to the intensive care unit. .

Management of an accidental penetrating cardiac injury in a 4-year-old girl.

Introduction: Penetrating cardiac injuries are a significant challenge for surgeons and can have varying outcomes depending on factors such as initial care, characteristics of the wounds, and surgical management. These injuries can result from both stab wounds and gunshot wounds, with different mortality rates associated with each. Life-threatening illnesses include penetrating injuries to the heart.

A multivessel spontaneous coronary artery dissection presented with an acute coronary syndrome that was conservatively managed. A case report.

A spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a tear that forms in a blood vessel in the heart without any obvious underlying etiology It could be a single vessel or multiple vessels. We present a 48-year-old male known to be a heavy smoker without any chronic diseases or family history of heart disease who presents to the cardiology outpatient clinic with shortness of breath and chest pain on exertion. Electrocardiography demonstrated ST depression with T wave inversion of anterior leads, while echocardiography of the patient showed left ventricular systolic dysfunction with severe mitral regurgitation and mildly dilated left chambers.

A 28-year-old male with spontaneous coronary artery dissection complicated by apical thrombus and acute ischemic stroke: An interesting case.

Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is described as the intramural bleeding that separates the layers of an epicardial coronary artery wall, either with or without an intimal tear. Atherosclerosis, iatrogenic damage, or trauma are not linked to this syndrome. Here we present a 28-year-old male with 1 month history stroke but no any chronic disease as well family history of heart disease who presented with 2 days' duration of typical cardiac chest pain.

Isolated left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy complicated by acute ischemic stroke: A rare case repor.

Introduction: and importance: Isolated left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC), uncommon type of primary hereditary cardiomyopathy. It is a spongy morphological appearance of the myocardium that occurs largely in the LV.

Case Presentation: We discuss here a case of 19 years old female with no known past medical history who present with Shortness of breath (SOB) and left sided weakness following delivery.

Pneumopericardium with massive pericardial effusion in the setting of tuberculosis constrictive pericarditis: a rare case report.

Constrictive pericarditis is an uncommon complication of acute pericarditis, mainly caused by non-idiopathic sources. Pneumopericardium is the presence of air in the pericardial sac resulting from various procedures and circumstances, including trauma, iatrogenic, non-iatrogenic and natural causes. Here, we report a 16-year-old girl who came to the cardiology outpatient complaining of weakness, abdominal distention and shortness of breath while lying down and exertion.

Successfully thrombolysis using tenecteplase in a case of massive pulmonary embolism with multiple free-floating thromboses in the right atrium and right ventricle.

Massive pulmonary embolism (PE) combined with right atrial (RA) thrombus is associated with significant mortality. Hemodynamic collapses, which can manifest as hypotension, severe dyspnea; cyanosis, syncope, shock, and right ventricular heart failure are the hallmark of massive PE. Moreover, hemodynamic collapse can be the earliest clinical presentation and the most common cause of death in the first days.
