Functional mitral regurgitation (MR) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and over the past decade, the diagnosis of atrial functional mitral regurgitation (aFMR) has been increasingly observed in the elderly, especially in those with atrial fibrillation (AF) and heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Annular enlargement, perturbations of annular contraction, and atriogenic leaflet tethering distinguish the pathophysiology of aFMR from the one of ventricular origin. However, no consensus provides recommendations regarding the differential diagnosis and the subsequent management of aFMR.

Acute thromboembolism of the superior mesenteric artery (SMA) causing mesenteric ischemia has a grave prognosis with high mortality rates. Its rarity and non-specific symptoms often lead to delayed diagnosis and increased morbidity. Early signs can include pain out of proportion to physical findings, with abdominal distension, tenderness, and guarding appearing only in later stages when bowel necrosis has occurred.
