Introduction: Ivosidenib is a novel oral inhibitor of mutated isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 approved for the treatment of refractory or relapsed acute myeloid leukemia in patients with isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 mutations or as first-line agent in patients unable to tolerate chemotherapy. It is known to commonly cause differentiation syndrome, but an association with cardiovascular complications is not well established.
Case Report: We present the case of a 34-year-old female with relapsed acute myeloid leukemia post-allogeneic transplant who developed ivosidenib-induced differentiation syndrome complicated by myopericarditis and cardiogenic shock.
Management And Outcome: Ivosidenib was discontinued, and aggressive management was pursued with high-dose steroids, ventilatory and pressure support and diuresis. She had significant improvement and later tolerated reintroduction of ivosidenib without recurrent episodes of differentiation syndrome or cardiac complications.
Discussion: To the best of our knowledge, this is the first reported case of myopericarditis and cardiogenic shock related to ivosidenib use. This case highlights the high index of suspicion required to recognize early signs of targeted therapy-related complications and exemplifies the beneficial collaborative role a cardio-oncology team provides in improving patient care.

Myopericarditis, a rare inflammatory condition affecting the heart and its surrounding layers, can lead to serious consequences if not promptly diagnosed and treated. A recent case involved a 28-year-old man with no significant medical history who developed severe chest pain and was diagnosed with myopericarditis induced by the Epstein-Barr virus (EBV). The patient's symptoms, imaging, and lab test results suggest myopericarditis.

Introduction: Although severe acute respiratory failure is the primary cause of morbidity and mortality in severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection, this viral infection leads to cardiovascular disease in some individuals. Cardiac effects of the virus include myocarditis, pericarditis, arrhythmias, coronary aneurysms and cardiomyopathy, and can result in cardiogenic shock and multisystem organ failure.
Method: This review summarises cardiac manifesta-tions of SARS-CoV-2 in the paediatric population.

Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease (AD), characterised by early diffuse vasculopathy, activation of the immune response and progressive skin and internal organ fibrosis. In severe progressive diffuse SSc (dSSc), autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (aHSCT) improves survival, despite its own risk of complications and transplant related mortality (TRM). We present herein the case of a dSSc patient undergoing aHSCT with low dose cyclophosphamide conditioning and sudden acute myopericarditis and cardiogenic shock, four weeks after a second mRNA SARS-CoV-2 vaccine (Pfizer) injection.

Background: Hemophagocytic lymphohistiocytosis (HLH) is a severe disorder characterized by excessive activation of the immune system, leading to hypercytokinemia and damage to multiple organs. We report a rare case of HLH with myopericarditis caused by Campylobacter infection.
Case Presentation: A 28-year-old male patient with a history of hypertension without medicine control presented at the hospital after a four-day fever, decreasing urine amount, rashes on his trunk and limbs, and other symptoms.

Background: Sodium azide exposures are rare but can be lethal as the substance inhibits complex IV in the electron transport chain, blocking adenosine-triphosphate (ATP) synthesis. Sodium azide is mostly used as a propellant in vehicular airbags but is also used in laboratory, pharmacy, and industrial settings. No known antidote exists and its cardiotoxic effects are poorly described in the literature.
