Acute myocardial infarction or Takotsubo syndrome in a patient with stunned myocardium due to myocardial bridging? A case report of diagnostic dilemma clarified after serial workup.

Background: Myocardial bridging is a cardiac anomaly where a segment of epicardial coronary arteries runs through the myocardium and can rarely cause MI. Takotsubo syndrome is a stress-induced cardiomyopathy that can mimic MI. Catecholamine surge during stress can contribute to Takotsubo syndrome, but whether this surge can trigger an inconspicuous myocardial bridging to manifest symptomatically remains unclear, and alternately, whether a myocardial bridge might cause worsening of Takotsubo syndrome is also a matter that needs further research.

Article Synopsis
- Researchers created a primate model to study lamin A/C (LMNA)-mutated dilated cardiomyopathy (LMD), highlighting its similarity with human conditions.
- They compared clinical data from patients with LMD to those with TTN mutations and healthy individuals to identify unique characteristics of LMD.
- Over a 48-month study, the primate model exhibited similar symptoms and progression to human LMD, making it a valuable tool for further research.

In the last few years, a tremendous advancement has been made in the therapeutical management of several diseases with an increasing need for parental drug administration. To avoid repeated venous insertions and the patient's anxiety related to these procedures, it is now common practice to insert a catheter to leave it in place for a longer time. However, these procedures may generate some complications, such as failure of insertion, embolization, and infection.

Key Clinical Message: Asymptomatic severe aortic stenosis (AS) during pregnancy remains challenging; however, the postponement of surgery with the possibility of valvuloplasty as a bridge therapy seems reasonable. Our case showed that despite physiological changes during pregnancy, the aortic valve defect did not worsen, which allowed us to avoid dilemmas related to anticoagulation on artificial valve.
Abstract: A 31-year-old woman, with a bicuspid aortic aorta, post-aortic valvulotomy, was listed for cardiac surgery because of severe aortic stenosis.
Case report: Novel three-dimensional echocardiographic methods mapping aortic root pseudoaneurysm secondary to blood culture-negative endocarditis with bicuspid aortic valve involvement.

Background: Infective endocarditis (IE), though uncommon, is a potentially lethal disease. Blood culture-negative endocarditis (BCNIE) accounts for 2.5%-31% of all cases of IE and can lead to life-threatening complications, including aortic root pseudoaneurysm.
