Introduction: Moderate to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in the setting of acute heart failure (AHF) has been found to be associated with worse clinical outcomes. Recently, the TRI-SCORE was developed to predict clinical outcomes after isolated tricuspid surgery.
Objectives: To determine whether this score could aid in risk stratification of AHF patients with moderate-severe TR.
Introduction: The relationship between the phenotype and treatment of psoriatic arthritis (PsA) and the increased prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities is not well studied.
Objective: To assess the prevalence of cardiovascular comorbidities in relation to the clinical phenotype and treatment of PsA.
Methods: This was a cross-sectional, real-life study.
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic cardiac disorder associated with an increased risk of arrhythmias, heart failure, and sudden cardiac death. Current imaging and clinical markers are not fully sufficient in accurate diagnosis and patient risk stratification. Although known cardiac biomarkers in blood are used, they lack specificity for HCM and primarily stratify for death due to heart failure in overt cases.

Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is a serious complication of myocardial infarction (MI) that can lead to a fetal systemic embolism. Although coronary artery bypass graft surgery (CABG) after MI is widely performed, to our knowledge, there are no reports of LV thrombus in the early postoperative period. Here, we report a rare case of a 70-year-old man who underwent off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) for unstable angina pectoris with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF).

Brucellosis is one of the most common zoonotic infections present worldwide. It usually presents as a febrile illness but can affect multiple organs of the body. Although cardiac involvement in brucellosis is rare, it is a fatal organ involvement.
