Is it just another case of vaccine-induced myocarditis? A case report and key insights.

Article Synopsis
- - The rising incidence of myopericarditis cases has been observed alongside an increase in COVID-19 vaccinations, highlighting the need for a thoughtful approach to these occurrences in the clinical setting.
- - A case involving a woman in her 50s who developed symptoms of myopericarditis after receiving the AstraZeneca vaccine was diagnosed with an infected right atrial thrombus, leading to treatment with antibiotics and anticoagulation.
- - This case underscores the necessity for multi-modal imaging and regular follow-up assessments in diagnosing and managing vaccine-related myopericarditis, along with considering additional procedures like endomyocardial biopsy for improved accuracy.
Importance: Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) has been associated with fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) and other extracoronary arterial abnormalities. However, the prevalence, severity, and clinical relevance of these abnormalities remain unclear.
Objective: To assess the prevalence and spectrum of FMD and other extracoronary arterial abnormalities in patients with SCAD vs controls.
Objective: To investigate percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) practice in an international cohort of patients with spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). To explore factors associated with complications and study angiographic and longer term outcomes.
Methods: SCAD patients (n=215, 94% female) who underwent PCI from three national cohort studies were investigated and compared with a matched cohort of conservatively managed SCAD patients (n=221).
Aims: To report the extent and distribution of myocardial injury and its impact on left ventricular systolic function with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) following spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) and to investigate predictors of myocardial injury.
Methods And Results: One hundred and fifty-eight angiographically confirmed SCAD-survivors (98% female) were phenotyped by CMR and compared in a case-control study with 59 (97% female) healthy controls (44.5 ± 8.
Standing tall after DeBakey Type I aortic dissection extending to left iliac artery.
Indian Heart J
January 2017
This report describes DeBakey Type I aortic dissection in a middle-aged hypertensive female who had undergone mitral tissue valve replacement a decade previously. The patient had severe abrupt onset tearing pain in her throat, back, and chest, for which she got admitted in a community hospital, where because of no changes in her ECG and biomarkers, the dissection of aorta was missed. She was subjected to coronary angiography more than 6 weeks later for pain in her left shoulder, which demonstrated normal vessels.
