We presented a 55-year-old male patient with isolated left ventricular non-compaction who was admitted to our emergency department for chest pain and exertional dyspnoea. He was hospitalised due to anterior myocardial infarction, and during his assessment, isolated left ventricular non-compaction was diagnosed.

Background: A novel contact force (CF) sensing catheter with a mesh-shaped irrigation tip (TactiFlexTM SE, Abbott), is expected to provide safe and effective radiofrequency ablation. Our previous study revealed that the TactiFlex catheter needs a higher power for pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) due to the long tip length. This study aimed to examine the feasibility and safety of a 50 W ablation with the TactiFlex for PVI of atrial fibrillation (AF).

Objectives: We present a case series of patients with granulomatous myocarditis presenting as atrial arrhythmias accompanied by lymphadenopathy.
Background: Atrial myocarditis (AM) may be the cause of atrial fibrillation (AF) in patients without risk factors.
Methods: Patients with atrial fibrillation without risk factors underwent 18F-Fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG-PET).
Left atrial posterior wall (LAPW) residual potentials via epicardial connections during LAPW isolation are often low-frequency continuous potentials. Accurate annotation of these residual potentials by three-dimensional electroanatomical mapping systems is challenging and can be misleading. Herein, we present a case of successful LAPW isolation using peak frequency analysis.

Pulmonary cysticercosis is a rare manifestation of human cysticercosis, which mostly occurs in developing countries. The disease can affect the lung parenchyma and pleura, resulting in pulmonary nodules, pneumonitis, lung cavities, or pleural effusion. We herein present a case involving a man of advanced age who presented with symptomatic eosinophilic pleural effusion.

Introduction: Compared to aortic dissection and isolated visceral artery dissection, multiple peripheral arterial dissections have not been formally reported to date. Currently, there is no well-established treatment for this condition, and large-scale studies with extensive sample data are lacking.
Case Presentation: A 56-year-old male, was provisionally diagnosed with " idiopathic multiple peripheral arterial dissections.
