A dynamic variant of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy mimicking apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a case report.
Eur Heart J Case Rep
January 2025
Cardiovascular and Thoracic Division, Cardiology Department, University Hospital Southampton, Tremona Road, Southampton SO16 6YD, UK.
Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy usually presents with acute reversible left ventricular apical hypokinesia and apical ballooning with basal hyperdynamic function. We describe an underreported case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), misinterpreted as apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) due to transient apical oedema in the recovery phase of the condition.
Case Summary: A 74-year-old Caucasian woman, presented to the emergency department complaining of retrosternal chest pain following, emotional stress.
Atrial remodeling is a major pathophysiological mechanism of atrial fibrillation (AF). Atrial remodeling progresses with aging and background diseases, including hypertension, heart failure, and AF itself. However, its mechanism of action and reversibility have not been completely elucidated.

Ultrasound Obstet Gynecol
January 2025
Ultrasound Unit, Helen Schneider Hospital for Women, Rabin Medical Center, Beilinson Hospital, Petach Tikva, Israel.
Objective: Portosystemic shunts in growth-restricted fetuses are more common than previously thought. We aimed to describe fetuses with growth restriction and transient oligohydramnios in which a congenital intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (CIPSS) was noted during follow-up.
Methods: This was a retrospective study of all fetuses diagnosed with growth restriction and transient oligohydramnios during a 5-year period in a large tertiary referral center.
Enhancing Thromboembolic Risk Prediction in Non-valvular Atrial Fibrillation: The Critical Role of Transesophageal Echocardiography (TEE).
Cureus
December 2024
Cardiology, Avicenna Military Hospital, Marrakesh, MAR.
Introduction Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common cardiac arrhythmia, poses challenges in predicting thromboembolic risk. While the CHADS-VASc (congestive heart failure, hypertension, age ≥ 75 years (doubled), type 2 diabetes mellitus, previous stroke, transient ischemic attack, or thromboembolism (doubled), vascular disease, age 65-74 years, and sex category) score remains essential, its limitations include failure to identify left atrial (LA) thrombus in some patients. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) provides superior detection of LA thrombi and thrombogenic factors compared to transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), improving risk stratification, especially in intermediate-risk groups.

Neurology Department, Singapore General Hospital, Singapore.
A woman in her 30s presented with sudden onset right-sided weakness, speech difficulties and transient loss of consciousness. She had a medical history of migraine, hypothyroidism and cervical lymphadenopathy. On examination, her National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) score was 8 due to dense right-sided hemiparesis.
