This study aims to develop a nomogram prediction model for assessing the cardiogenic composite endpoint, which includes intracardiac thrombosis (ICT) combined with heart failure (HF) in patients with non-compaction cardiomyopathy (NCM) patients. We retrospectively analyzed clinical data from NCM patients (January 2018 to May 2024), who were randomly assigned to training and validation cohorts. Independent predictors were identified using logistic regression, and a nomogram model was developed.

Article Synopsis
  • Hyperacute cardiac CT is more effective than transthoracic echocardiography in detecting intracardiac thrombus, but its routine use is limited due to costs and risks.
  • A study of 1,136 ischemic stroke or TIA patients found that longer arterial input function (AIF) dispersal times correlate with the presence of thrombus and worse outcomes, with a specific cutoff of 33 seconds indicating higher risk.
  • The findings support using AIF dispersal measurements to help identify patients who may benefit from cardiac imaging, potentially optimizing resource use in stroke management.

Even if rarely detected, right atrial (RA) masses represent a diagnostic challenge due to their heterogeneous presentation. Para-physiological RA structures, such as a prominent Eustachian valve, Chiari's network, and lipomatous atrial hypertrophy, may easily be misinterpreted as pathological RA masses, including thrombi, myxomas, and vegetations. Each pathological mass should always be correlated with adequate clinical, anamnestic, and laboratory data.

Introduction This case report illustrates the complexities of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and its thromboembolic complications resulting in top-of-basilar artery syndrome. We discuss the case of a 37-year-old male with ARVC who presented with acute onset of dizziness, imbalance, and vomiting, leading to the diagnosis of a top-of-basilar artery occlusion which was successfully treated. Case presentation This case highlights the diagnostic and acute treatment challenges in basilar artery occlusion (BAO) due to its non-specific symptoms and emphasizes the critical role of CT angiography in detecting occlusive thrombi for timely intervention.

Deep femoral artery aneurysms are very rare; particularly when isolated and occur simultaneously in both limbs. We report such a case of a misdiagnosed 16-year-old male presenting after hematoma evacuation was attempted for painful swelling in the left groin. Once the diagnosis was confirmed by computed tomography angiography (CTA), an emergency aneurysmectomy with deep femoral artery (DFA) ligation was performed on the left limb.
