Underappreciated Relationship: A Case of Type A Aortic Dissection Presented With Atrial Flutter.
J Investig Med High Impact Case Rep
December 2024
St. Joseph's University Medical Center, Paterson, NJ, USA.
Aortic dissection (AD) is a life-threatening emergency involving a tear in the aortic intima, leading to a false lumen. Atrial fibrillation (AF) can complicate AD, increasing management challenges and mortality risks. We report a 67-year-old male with no known past medical history who presented with a 1-day history of abdominal pain.

Article Synopsis
- - The study examined the occurrence of thromboembolic complications in young patients (under 25) with atrial fibrillation (AFib) or atrial flutter (AFl) and analyzed how anticoagulation is practiced in this group across multiple medical centers from 2000 to 2019.
- - Among 210 patients with 311 episodes of AFib/AFl, 12 episodes were linked to blood clots, predominantly in patients with structural heart disease, while only 34% were discharged on aspirin and 27% on anticoagulants.
- - The findings indicate that while thromboembolic events can occur in this age group, they are generally rare after treatment like cardioversion, and the CH

Background: Few data are available on the clinical course of patients with supraventricular tachycardia (SVT).
Objective: The purpose of this study was to assess the 1-year risk of adverse events in patients with SVT.
Methods: This was a retrospective observational study conducted within TriNetX.
Incidental Finding of a Right Atrial Appendage Thrombus in a Patient With Dilated Cardiomyopathy and Diffuse B-cell Lymphoma.

Cardiology, Novant Health, Winston-Salem, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Right atrial thrombus is a rare but deadly condition, as seen in a 75-year-old man with underlying health issues who developed atrial flutter and had a thrombus found in his right atrial appendage during evaluation.
- After the thrombus was confirmed through imaging, the patient was not a candidate for surgery and was prescribed apixaban while transitioning to hospice care.
- This case underscores the lack of formal guidelines for treating right atrial thrombi, indicating a need for further research to establish management protocols and avoid complications.
Effects of body posture on aortic valve hemodynamics and biomechanics using the fluid-structure interaction method.

Article Synopsis
- Bioprosthetic heart valves (BHVs) are commonly used in medicine but can suffer from fatigue damage due to their sensitivity to body positions.
- The study analyzed the effects of different postures—upright, sitting, prone, supine, and orthostatic hypotension (OH)—on the performance of these valves using a simulation model.
- Results indicated that the OH position negatively impacted valve function the most, causing increased regurgitation and flutter, which heightens the risk of thrombosis and damage; thus, patients should avoid this posture for better valve longevity.
