We report the case of a young man presenting with chest pain, dyspnea, and syncope in whom transthoracic and transesophageal echocardiography helped to diagnose anterolateral papillary muscle rupture. After cardiac catheterization (which confirmed the severe mitral regurgitation and showed two vessel coronary disease), mitral valve replacement was performed together with coronary bypass grafting.

A 53-year-old male individual with chronic severe mitral regurgitation presented with biventricular dysfunction, pulmonary hypertension, and atrial fibrillation. Echocardiography demonstrated a posterior leaflet prolapse with malcoaptation. Mitral valve repair and Maze procedure were performed, revealing absent chordae and direct connection from the anterolateral papillary muscle to the posterior leaflet, consistent with partial mitral arcade.

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance insights into anomalies of the mitral valve apparatus in Fabry cardiomyopathy and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.

Article Synopsis
- Fabry Disease cardiomyopathy (FDc) and sarcomeric hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) show similar hypertrophic heart features, particularly anomalies of the mitral valve apparatus (AMVA), which were assessed in this study for better diagnosis and understanding of disease progression.
- The study involved 80 Fabry patients and 40 HCM patients, utilizing cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging to measure various AMVA and compare groups with similar levels of left ventricular hypertrophy.
- Results indicated that Fabry patients exhibited greater hypertrophy of papillary muscles compared to HCM patients, alongside significant anomalies like apical displacement, supporting the idea that AMVA may serve as early indicators in Fabry disease. *
Endocarditis Associated With Coronary Cameral Fistula Presenting With Intracranial Hemorrhage.

Division of Cardiology, Montefiore Medical Center, Bronx, New York, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Coronary cameral fistulas are unusual connections between coronary arteries and heart chambers that can lead to complications, despite often being asymptomatic.
- These fistulas can create high-speed blood flow, increasing the risk of infections like endocarditis.
- The paper details a rare case where a patient with a coronary cameral fistula developed infective endocarditis, indicated by a brain hemorrhage caused by a mycotic aneurysm, affecting the mitral papillary muscle region.
