Background: Systemic light chain amyloidosis is a rare and debilitating disease, especially for which initially presented with digestive tract involvement. Myocardial amyloidosis is highly aggressive with generally poor prognosis and often resulted in missed diagnosis or misdiagnosis with routine examination tools. Multimodality imaging play an important role in diagnosing the amyloidosis effect on multiple organs.

Persistent myocardial impairment proved by histopathologic studies universally existed in patients with Kawasaki disease (KD); however, the long-term effects on myocardial contractile reserve in KD patients, especially on patients without coronary artery lesions (CALs), is still unknown. The aim of this study was to investigate myocardial contractile reserve in KD patients during late convalescent stage by speckle-tracking adenosine triphosphate (AT) echocardiography. A total of 63 antecedent KD patients at least 4 years after the disease onset and 40 age- and gender-matched normal controls were prospectively enrolled.

Introduction: Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) is a rare cardiac manifestation in patients with advanced malignancies of the lungs, pancreas, gynecological system, and gastrointestinal tract. It is often confirmed postmortem by histopathological evidence of sterile platelet-fibrin deposits attached to the endocardium, most often on heart valves. To the best of our knowledge, our case is the first to report multiple heart lesions caused by the systemic effect of cholangiocarcinoma.

Article Synopsis
  • Right heart remodeling is commonly observed in patients suffering from severe COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), but there is limited information on the recovery of the right heart following lung transplantation for these patients.
  • A study at Northwestern University analyzed data from 36 patients who underwent lung transplantation for COVID-19-related ARDS between June 2020 and June 2022, finding that none of the patients died within 90 days, and the 1-year survival rate was 88.8%.
  • Postoperative evaluations revealed significant improvements in right ventricle (RV) size and function, as well as reduced pulmonary artery pressure, indicating that right heart recovery can occur relatively quickly after lung transplantation in this specific patient population.
