AI Article Synopsis
- Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a rare but serious complication following a heart attack (acute myocardial infarction).
- A case is presented involving a patient with prior heart surgery who recently experienced an inferior myocardial infarction.
- This patient developed severe congestive heart failure as a result of a large pseudoaneurysm located in the inferoposterior wall of the heart.
Article Abstract
Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm is a nonfrequent complication of acute myocardial infarction. We describe a case of a patient with previous cardiac surgery and recent inferior myocardial infarction, who developed severe congestive heart failure due to a giant pseudoaneurysm of the inferoposterior wall.

Unlabelled: The emergency destruction of the 4th reactor of the Chornobyl nuclear power plant necessitated large-scale emergency work, which involved large contingents of specialists. Analysis the mortality of Chornobyl clean-up workers isan important and relevant basis for planning medical protection measures in conditions of a potential threat ofemergency and other radiation situations.The objective of this work is to determine the levels and relative risks of mortality of Chornobyl clean-up workers in1986-1987 years from major non-tumor diseases depending on the received dose of radiation exposure, taking intoaccount age and time after the accident (period of epidemiological studies 1988-2021).

Background: Observational and genetic causal studies have shown an association between high concentrations of remnant cholesterol and increased risk of ischemic heart disease. However, findings from randomized intervention trials that reduced plasma triglycerides, a surrogate marker of remnant cholesterol, have been conflicting. The exact mechanisms by which remnant cholesterol contributes to atherosclerosis and, ultimately, ischemic heart disease remain incompletely understood.
