Rotavirus-Associated Myocarditis in an Immunocompetent Adult: A Case Report.
Cureus
December 2024
Internal Medicine, Weiss Memorial Hospital, Chicago, USA.
A previously healthy, 28-year-old man presented with a two-day history of diarrhea and chest pain, suggestive of infectious myocarditis. Initial workup revealed elevated troponin-I levels and diffuse ST-segment elevations on electrocardiogram (ECG). Transthoracic echocardiography showed a reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (40-45%), posteroinferior wall akinesis, and a small pericardial effusion.

Division of Cardiology, McGill University Health Centre, 845 Rue Sherbrooke O, Montreal, QC, H3H 0G4, Canada.
Purpose Of Review: This review aims to evaluate current diagnostic and therapeutic strategies for postpericardiotomy syndrome (PPS), with a focus on the evolving role of multimodality imaging, including echocardiography, cardiac computed tomography (CCT), and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). The review also explores the potential benefits of advanced imaging in improving the accuracy and management of PPS.
Recent Findings: PPS, a common complication following cardiac surgery, presents with pleuritic chest pain, fever, and pericardial or pleural effusion.
Assessing Acute Pericarditis with T1 Mapping: A Supportive Contrast-Free CMR Marker.

Department of Radiology, Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria (A.O.U.), di Cagliari-Polo di Monserrato s.s. 554 Monserrato, 09045 Cagliari, Italy.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to explore the impact of pericardial T1 mapping as a potential supportive non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) parameter in the diagnosis of acute pericarditis. Additionally, we investigated the relationship between T1 mapping values in acute pericarditis patients and their demographic data, cardiovascular risk factors, clinical parameters, cardiac biomarkers, and cardiac function.
Method: This retrospective study included CMR scans in 35 consecutive patients with acute pericarditis (26 males, 45.
A Case of Ulcerative Colitis with Acute Pericarditis after Dose Escalation of Mesalazine.
Intern Med

Department of Gastroenterology, Fukushima Medical University School of Medicine, Japan.
Mesalazine-induced pericarditis is rare, and most cases occur at the time of treatment initiation. A 30-year-old man with ulcerative colitis who had experienced remission for 2 years with mesalazine 2,000 mg/day subsequently experienced relapse. Therefore, the mesalazine dose was increased to 4,000 mg.

Institute of Social and Preventive Medicine (ISPM), University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Background: Tuberculosis (TB) is the leading cause of death among people with HIV and a major global health challenge. Subclinical cardiovascular manifestations of TB are poorly documented in high TB and HIV burden countries.
Objectives: The purpose of this study was to quantify the prevalence of cardiovascular involvement in TB patients and investigate changes after completion of anti-TB treatment.
