HOCM is a rare disorder of myocardium that may result in asymmetrical left ventricular septal hypertrophy and dynamic outflow obstruction. This may result in hemodynamic sequel that leads to deterioration of functional class in the majority of patients. Alcohol septal ablation may provide symptomatic relief in the majority of patients who fail medical therapy or who experience significantly high outflow gradients.

Rapid nongenomic estrogen signaling controls alcohol drinking behavior in mice.

Ovarian-derived estrogen can signal non-canonically at membrane-associated receptors in the brain to rapidly regulate neuronal function. Early alcohol drinking confers greater risk for alcohol use disorder in women than men, and binge alcohol drinking is correlated with high estrogen levels, but a causal role for estrogen in driving alcohol drinking has not been established. We found that female mice displayed greater binge alcohol drinking and reduced avoidance when estrogen was high during the estrous cycle than when it was low.

Background: Obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with significant morbidity due to left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction. While alcohol septal ablation (ASA) is an established interventional treatment, mavacamten, a novel cardiac myosin inhibitor, has emerged as a non-invasive pharmacological alternative. Understanding the comparative efficacy of these two treatments is important for optimizing patient care.

Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common congenital cyanotic heart disease and is characterized by an antero-superior deviation of the infundibular septum with a consequent large malaligned ventricular septal defect (VSD) and a pulmonary and sub-pulmonary (infundibular) stenosis. Surgical repair has been the cornerstone of treatment that is electively performed early in their lives between 3 and 6 months of age. With advancements in transcatheter interventions, the complete percutaneous repair of TOF, a complex disease with multiple treatable lesions, is becoming a conceivable possibility.

Reoperations can be challenging for patients who experience left and right atrioventricular valve failure after repair of a complete atrioventricular septal defect. Herein, we present a case of a 10-year-old boy who developed dysfunction in left and right atrioventricular valve following surgery for a complete atrioventricular septal defect. The patient underwent successful replacement of his left atrioventricular valve with a mechanical valve due to severe stenosis.

Atrial septal defects (ASD) divert flow from systemic to pulmonary circulation, and some degree of plasma volume expansion and neurohormonal activation are necessary to maintain the effective circulatory volume. The aim of the present study was to understand the patterns of neurohormonal activation in ASD patients. 16 ASD patients and 10 controls were enrolled.
