Article Synopsis
- Hydatic cardiac cysts are rare, making up only 0.5 to 2% of hydatid disease cases, and can lead to serious complications like pulmonary embolism.
- A 28-year-old patient experienced multiple pulmonary embolisms due to the rupture of a hydatic cyst in the heart's interventricular septum.
- Diagnosis was confirmed through echocardiography and CT scans, and timely surgery resulted in a positive outcome after five months, highlighting the importance of early intervention.
Heart failure is a major problem of public health, it represents a frequent status among patients with heart disease, and its implications in term of mortality and cost are high. Non Pharmacological treatment of heart failure most commonly designed as cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has demonstrate efficacy to improve functional class, exertion capacity, left ventricular ejection fraction, reduction of mitral regurgitation, and probably mortality at midterm. The most recent studies emphasize on the role of implantable cardioverter defibrillate or (ICD) combined with CRT to reduce mortality.
