Precision Digital Health, Department of Internal Medicine III, University of Heidelberg, Heidelberg, Deutschland.
Cardiomyopathies (CMP) comprise a group of heterogeneous heart muscle diseases that have molecular genetic causes and cannot be adequately explained by other cardiovascular diseases. The diagnosis and treatment of CMPs have made significant progress in recent decades, which is reflected in novel specific cardiomyopathy guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published in 2023. A patient-centered approach combines multimodal diagnostics, such as echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, genetic testing and biopsy to enable precise etiological classification and thus personalized treatment.

Department of Neurology, University Hospital "12 de Octubre", Madrid, Spain.
Background: Cardiac light-chain amyloidosis represents a critical component of this multi-systemic disease, significantly impacting prognosis. The extent of cardiac free light-chain deposition is the primary determinant of survival.
Case Presentation: We report the case of a 67-year-old male with a 10-year history of diabetes mellitus and arterial hypertension who presented with a two-day history of chest discomfort and difficulty lying down or sleeping, along with a two-month history of progressively worsening exertional dyspnea.
Point-of-Care Ultrasound in Early Identification of Tamponade: A Case Series.

Hospital Medicine, University of Michigan Health System, Ann Arbor, USA.
Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition resulting from fluid accumulation within the pericardial sac, leading to impaired cardiac filling and output. Signs described in the literature, such as Beck's triad (hypotension, jugular venous distension (JVD), muffled heart sounds) or pulsus paradoxus can be absent especially in the early stages, particularly in non-trauma patients, making early diagnosis challenging. In this case series, we present three patients who developed tamponade with subtle symptoms, including shortness of breath and tachycardia, but without hypotension or other hallmark signs.

Nephrology, NewYork-Presbyterian, New York, USA.
While salmonellosis is commonly thought to predominantly impact the gastrointestinal system, bacteremia and localized extraintestinal infections such as meningitis, empyema, and pericarditis can develop, particularly in immunocompromised individuals. Here, we present a case of a 69-year-old with multiple comorbidities, who presented to the emergency department with dyspnea and hemodynamics instability in the form of hypoxia and hypotension and was found to have moderate pericardial effusion without echocardiographic signs of tamponade. The ischemic workup was unrevealing, and further infectious workups, including pericardial tissue biopsy and pericardial fluid culture, showed growth in groups C and D.

Department of Pathology, Kayseri City Training and Research Hospital, 38080 Kayseri, Turkey.
Background: Lymphomas, which originate from the haematopoietic system, are seldom found in the heart due to the absence of a lymphoid system. Primary cardiac lymphoma is quite rare. Cardiac lymphomas can present with dyspnoea, heart failure, pericardial effusion, and arrhythmia.
