Intracardiac ectopic thyroid is a rare lesion. We present a case of successful excision of thyroid tissue obstructing the right ventricular outflow tract and provide a literature review. In all cases reported to date, the ectopic tissue arose from the ventricular septum and extended to the outflow tract.

Management of Cesarean Scar Ectopic Pregnancies: A Retrospective Study and Literature Review.

Cesarean scar ectopic pregnancy (CSEP) is localized over the scar of a previous cesarean section. CSEP is a challenging entity, both in terms of diagnosis and management. The clinical presentation of CSEP may vary from asymptomatic patients with positive urine pregnancy tests to acute presentations such as pelvic pain, bleeding per vaginum, uterine rupture, and hemodynamic instability.

Article Synopsis
- A 10-year-old boy with long QT syndrome type 3 (LQT3) experienced severe episodes of torsade de pointes (TdP) associated with fast ventricular arrhythmias.
- After replacing his implantable cardioverter-defibrillator, he faced an "electrical storm" that didn't improve even with rapid heart pacing.
- Treatment with dexmedetomidine and verapamil successfully controlled the TdP, emphasizing the need to address specific rapid arrhythmias in patients with LQT3.
Special considerations for the stabilization and resuscitation of patients with cardiac disease in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit.

Effective resuscitation of neonates with congenital heart disease (CHD) depends on comprehensive planning, thorough understanding of physiology, vigilant monitoring, and interdisciplinary collaboration to achieve the best outcomes. Neonatal heart disease can affect cardiac structure, rhythm, or ventricular function, and may be either congenital or acquired. Critical congenital heart disease (CCHD) can result in inadequate pulmonary blood flow, impaired intracardiac mixing, airway obstruction, or insufficient cardiac output.

Article Synopsis
- - An 11-year-old spayed Wheaten terrier showed sudden neurological issues, including limb deficits and a weak reflex, leading to the identification of a left thalamocortical lesion.
- - A cardiac examination revealed an arrhythmia and an echocardiogram showed a mass in the heart, which was suspected to have caused the dog's neurological symptoms.
- - After humane euthanasia due to a poor prognosis, a postmortem confirmed hemangiosarcoma in the heart and found brain metastases, explaining the dog's neurological signs.
Long-term outcomes of catheter ablation for ventricular arrhythmias: comparing techniques with and without intracardiac echocardiography - what matters?
BMC Cardiovasc Disord

Department of Cardiology, Peking University First Hospital, Beijing, China.
Background: The increasing use of intracardiac echocardiography (ICE) in the ablation of premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) has raised questions about its true efficacy and safety.
Methods: This retrospective study collected the periprocedural complications and PVC burden post ablation. The risk factors of PVC recurrence was further explored.
