[Potential of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Diagnostics of Transient Constrictive Pericarditis].

The article addresses the diagnostic criteria based on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in transient constrictive pericarditis (TCP), a rare form of constrictive pericarditis characterized by temporary signs of constriction. Constrictive pericarditis evident as myocardial thickening and fibrosis results in impaired diastolic filling and can manifest itself with symptoms similar to those of other pathologies, such as restrictive cardiomyopathy. The article presents two clinical cases of TCP, where the role of MRI in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients is highlighted.

Primary Data on ATTR-Amyloidosis Prevalence Among Elderly Patients With Left Ventricular Hypertrophy in Russia.

Aim: To estimate the prevalence of amyloid cardiomyopathy (CM) caused by transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) and immunoglobulin light chain (AL) amyloidosis among patients aged >65 years with interventricular septal (IVS) hypertrophy of ≥14 mm.

Material And Methods: From January through August 2023, 60 patients (mean age 7.2±7.

Cardiac Magnetic Resonance in Patients with Suspected Tachycardia-Induced Cardiomyopathy: The Impact of Late Gadolinium Enhancement and Epicardial Fat Tissue.

Tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) is a reversible subtype of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) resulting from sustained supraventricular or ventricular tachycardia and diagnosed by the normalization of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) after stable sinus rhythm restoration. The aim of this study was to determine the contribution of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) to the differential diagnosis of TIC and DCM with persistent atrial arrythmias in patients hospitalized for the first time with heart failure (HF) with reduced LVEF of nonischemic origin. A total of 29 patients (age: 58.

[Magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis of complications of kidney and ureteral injury in different periods of traumatic disease].

Objective: To assess the possibility of magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis of complications of kidney and ureteral injury in different periods of traumatic disease.

Material And Methods: There were 139 patients with kidney and ureteral injuries between 2015 and 2019. We clarified the MR-signs of renal complications in different periods of traumatic disease.

RNA Sequencing for Personalized Treatment of Metastatic Leiomyosarcoma: Case Report.

Uterine leiomyosarcoma (UL) is a rare malignant tumor that develops from the uterine smooth muscle tissue. Due to the low frequency and lack of sufficient data from clinical trials there is currently no effective treatment that is routinely accepted for UL. Here we report a case of a 65-years-old female patient with metastatic UL, who progressed on ifosfamide and doxorubicin therapy and developed severe hypertensive crisis after administration of second line pazopanib, which lead to treatment termination.
