In the submitted case-history the author describes a patient who 15 years previously underwent after an extensive myocardial infarction with rupture of the interventricular septum and a left ventricular aneurysm a plastic operation of the interventricular rupture and aneurysmectomy. This man, at present 70 years old, lives without any significant restrictions. The author advocates an active, intensive and aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic approach in all thus vitally threatened patients for whom this arsenal offers a much greater hope for extension and improvement of life than the classical conservative therapy.

Department of Cardiology, Christian Medical College, New Arcot Road, Vellore 632517, India.
Background: Granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) is an autoimmune multisystem disorder characterized by small vessel vasculitis with granulomatous inflammation. In this report, we describe a unique case of GPA who presented with complete heart block (CHB) and developed complications due to intracranial large vessel involvement.
Case Summary: A 47-year-old gentleman presented with CHB with a background history of arthralgia and blood-tinged nasal discharge.

Article Synopsis
- About 40% of patients with acute coronary occlusion myocardial infarction (OMI) don't show typical STEMI signs, leading to delayed treatment and higher health risks.
- The study examined 334 patients at a hospital in Albania to understand the differences between STEMI and NSTEMI cases and the impact of late revascularization for NSTEMI-OMI patients.
- Of the participants, 29.3% were NSTEMI-OMI; 40% of OMI patients didn't meet STEMI criteria, with a significant difference in timely PCI (only 11% of STEMI(-)OMI vs. 77% of STEMI(+)OMI).

Article Synopsis
- Ruptured sinus of Valsalva (RSOV) is a rare heart condition mainly affecting the right coronary sinus or the non-coronary sinus, typically resulting in ruptures into right-sided heart chambers.
- A 24-year-old male patient exhibited symptoms like fatigue and chest pain, with diagnostic imaging revealing multiple sinus of Valsalva aneurysms affecting both the right and left coronary sinuses, necessitating successful surgical repair.
- The involvement of multiple sinuses and ruptures into the interventricular septum are very rare, with significant risks like complete heart block and sudden death, highlighting the importance of thorough diagnostic methods and timely treatment.

Article Synopsis
- * Such aneurysms typically arise in the right atrium, making this instance particularly unusual, especially since there was no intracardiac communication involved.
- * Advanced cardiac imaging techniques, like transesophageal echocardiography and cardiac MRI, were critical for diagnosis and surgical planning, while post-surgery complications included a heart block that required additional treatments.
