Incremental Role of Cardiac CT Angiography in the Assessment of Left Ventricular Diastolic Function in Patients With Suspected Coronary Artery Disease With Normal Ejection Fraction: A Comparison With Transthoracic Echocardiography.
Echocardiography

Department of Cardiovascular Radiology and Endovascular Interventions, All India Institute of Medical Sciences, New Delhi, India.
Objective: Diastolic dysfunction (DD) is defined as impaired left ventricular (LV) relaxation, caused by structural or functional heart diseases. We sought to assess the role of cardiac CT angiography (CCTA) as a tool to evaluate LV DD in patients with normal EF using the diastolic expansion index (DEI), as compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) as the gold standard.
Methods: Patients presenting with atypical chest pain with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and having a normal LV ejection fraction on TTE underwent CCTA using a dual source CT scanner.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on anorexia nervosa (AN) and atypical anorexia nervosa (AAN), highlighting their significant medical complications among young patients.
- It analyzed data from patients under 19 years old admitted between 2013 and 2019, comparing various demographic and clinical factors.
- Findings revealed that AAN was more common than AN, and important correlations were found between weight loss metrics and various health indicators, suggesting these factors contribute significantly to medical complications.

We present the case of a 33-year-old patient with atypical pulmonary anatomy secondary to fibrosing mediastinitis who underwent pulmonary thrombectomy with the Lightning Flash aspiration catheter following a pulmonary embolism triggered by tibial osteomyelitis. Despite an inconclusive computed tomography angiography report, the diagnosis was made through clinical evaluation associated with electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes. Angiography was crucial for diagnosis.

Aims: This study aims to assess the correlation between antipsychotic drug use, psychological distress and cardiovascular risk factors among patients with schizophrenia.
Methods: A cross-sectional correlational design was used to obtain data from 143 patients with schizophrenia who were conveniently selected. Data were collected by assessing selected cardiovascular risk indicators blood pressure (BP), random blood sugar (RBS), body mass index (BMI), waist-to-height ratio (WtHR) and waist circumference (WC).

Combined therapeutic regimens, including molecular targeted agents, are considered standard treatment for advanced gastric and gastroesophageal junction cancer. We present an extremely rare case of acute reversible cardiac dysfunction in a 20-year-old patient after administration of trastuzumab plus 5-fluorouracil for the treatment of metastatic gastroesophageal junction cancer. During the first day of chemotherapy, the patient complained of retrosternal pain radiating to the scapular regions bilaterally.
