Right ventricular infarction: epidemiological, clinical, and angiographic characteristics and the outcomes through the experience of a Moroccan cardiology department.

Background: Acute myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of cardiovascular mortality, which is the leading cause of death in the world. Our objective in this study was to evaluate the epidemiological, clinical, and angiographic features of right ventricular infarction (RVI), as well as its complications and its therapeutic approaches.

Patients And Methods: It is a single-centered retrospective descriptive study conducted over a period of 2 years from November 2018 to October 2020.

Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma induced by vitamin K antagonist therapy: A case report.

Vitamin K antagonists (VKA) are recommended in patients with mechanical heart valves. Major bleeding events remain the most life-threatening complication of this therapy and sometimes it can occur in unusual anatomic areas. Spontaneous retroperitoneal hematoma is one of the rare complications of anticoagulation therapy, which needs to be recognized early and managed promptly.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy: alluring challenge - case series and review of literature.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM) is a rare disease responsible for heart failure that usually occurs in the last month of pregnancy or within five months postpartum, without any other known cause. A case series of five PPCM patients admitted at the Department of Cardiology of the University Hospital Mohammed VI of Oujda, Morocco, between 2017 and 2019. All cases were represented by young (case 1: 35-year-old; case 2: 28-year-old; case 3: 30-year-old; case 4: 36-year-old; case 5: 34-year-old).

Spontaneous subdural hematoma in a patient receiving dual antiplatelet therapy following percutaneous coronary intervention: A case report.

Introduction: and importance: Dual antiplatelet therapy with clopidogrel and aspirin is routinely prescribed after coronary artery stenting, plays a critical role in secondary prevention among patients with acute coronary syndrome and has decreased the rates of re-infarction and stent thrombosis after percutaneous coronary intervention but they are prone to internal bleeding. Intracranial hemorrhage is the most serious bleeding complication in a patient put on antiplatelet therapy following PCI. Acute spontaneous subdural hematoma (ASSDH) without trauma is a rare event, which needs to be promptly recognized and managed.
