Undiagnosed apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in an old amateur soccer player: a case report.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is a primary muscle disorder characterized by an abnormal thickness of the left ventricular wall. It is often going undiagnosed because many patients have few symptoms and can lead normal lives. This is a case report about an apical cardiomyopathy diagnosed at a very late stage in an old amateur soccer player.

Co-existence of severe coarctation of the aorta and aortic valve stenosis in adulthood: a case report.

Aortic coarctation is a congenital heart disease that usually presents and is treated in the childhood. The aortic coarctation is often associated with concomitant cardiac pathologies, such as aortic stenosis and bicuspid aortic valve. We report the case of a 56-year-old man, admitted in our cardiologic unit, for sudden onset of chest pain, dyspnea and syncope.

Acute pulmonary embolism in a child following SARS-CoV-2 infection: a case report.

In children, coronavirus disease 2019 infection is rarely symptomatic. Severe forms with respiratory distress are rare, thromboembolic complications are exceptional. We report a rare case of a 14 years old girl with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection who was admitted to the hospital for bilateral pulmonary embolism with intracardiac thrombus.

Ovarian vein thrombosis after coronavirus disease (COVID-19) mimicking acute abdomen: two case reports.

Coronavirus is a source of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) due to complications such as over-coagulation, blood stasis, and endothelial damage. Ovarian vein thrombosis (OVT) is a very serious and rare disease. In this study, we report tow rare case of women with coronavirus who were hospitalized with a right ovarian vein thrombosis mimicking acute abdomen who progressed well on anticoagulation.

Thrombocytopenia induced by glycoprotein (GP) IIb-IIIa antagonists: about two cases.

In this paper, we report two cases of induced thrombocytopenia after the infusion of glycoprotein (GP) IIb/IIIa receptors antagonists, following a coronary angioplasty. The first patient is a 65-year-old woman, admitted with acute coronary syndrome requiring percutaneous angioplasty with stenting. The patient was given tirofiban + unfractionated heparin (UFH).

Hydroxychloroquine and Azithromycin as a Treatment of COVID-19: Electrocardiogram Variability.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, the effectiveness of the combination of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin is widely discussed. This treatment can cause many severe cardiac side effects that makes us discuss its utility. The aim of this study is to describe the cardiovascular effect of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin by analyzing surface ECG in patients with COVID-19.

Elevated levels of D-dimer in patients with COVID-19: prognosis value.

Introduction: coronavirus disease is now a global pandemic due to rapid human-to-human transmission. It can cause mild to fatal respiratory, cardiovascular, and neurological diseases. We aimed to find out whether elevated D-dimer levels are a predictor of the bad progression of COVID-19 to help reducing the mortality.
