Acute heart failure as an atypical presentation of Takayasu arteritis: The value of multi-modality imaging.

Takayasu arteritis (TA) is an inflammatory disease that affects the aorta and the major branch arteries. Here, we describe an atypical presentation of the disease with heart failure.

The Presence of Patent Foramen Ovale in the Superior Type of Sinus Venosus Atrial Septal Defect.

The superior type of sinus venosus atrial septal defect (SVASD) is a rare form of the atrial septal defect (ASD) in which the upper part of the atrial septum does not exist. The presence of other cardiac anomalies such as anomalous pulmonary venous connections has been reported in this type of congenital heart disease. This study aimed to assess the presence of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) in patients with the superior type of SVASD.
