Prinzmetal (variant) angina may be associated with cardiac arrhythmias that can deteriorate to fatal ventricular arrhythmias. We present 2 patients with syncope where vasospastic angina and severe ventricular arrhythmias were found to be responsible for the syncopal episodes.

Background: Postprocedural pericarditis (PP) can occur in up to 29.4% of patients undergoing epicardial catheter ablation of ventricular tachycardia (VT). Despite several proposed strategies to mitigate this adverse outcome, rates of PP and pericarditic pain remain high.

The safety of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) herbal remedies, particularly when used with modern medications or in non-traditional dosages, requires careful consideration. We present a case of a 62-year-old male with pre-existing cardiovascular risk factors who developed tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy (TIC) potentially linked to prolonged use of the TCM supplement "Tan Ke Jing." The supplement contains licorice root, caffeine, and apricot kernel, which have known cardiovascular effects.

To analyze the clinical characteristics,diagnosis and treatment of pediatric myocardial infarction (MI) patients with coronary artery lesions (CAL) after Kawasaki disease (KD). Clinical data including baseline characteristics, KD and CAL information, clinical symptoms at MI onset, electrocardiogram (ECG) and imaging findings, MI treatment, and clinical outcomes of 41 MI patients with CAL after KD admitted to the Children's Hospital of Fudan University from January 2017 to August 2024 were analyzed retrospectively. (1) Demographic characteristics: a total of 41 patients were included (36 males and 5 females).

Patients with systolic heart failure (HF) and structural heart disease often suffer from ventricular tachycardias (VTs), which lead to increased morbidity and mortality. Despite advancements in pharmacological therapy and the use of implantable cardioverter-defibrillators, treatment options are limited due to side effects and decreased effectiveness. Catheter ablation (CA) has emerged as a promising therapy for drug-refractory VTs, especially in patients with structural heart disease.
