A simplified approach to managing a complex infected left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
J Cardiothorac Surg
December 2024
Heart Valve Disease Research Center, Rajaie Cardiovascular Medical and Research Center, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran, Iran.
Background: Left ventricular pseudoaneurysm (LVP) is a rare but life-threatening condition resulting from acute myocardial infarction, trauma, bacterial infection, or previous cardiac operations. Diagnosis can be challenging as LVPs remain asymptomatic or present with nonspecific clinical symptoms. Early diagnosis is crucial to prevent rupture and recurrent septicemia.

JACC Case Rep
November 2024
Cardiology Department, Hospital Universitario QuirónSalud, European University of Madrid, Madrid, Spain.
Anatomy: We aim to review the anatomy of the moderator band (MB) and the trabeculated right ventricle (RV).
Pathology: We thoroughly describe the morphological variations of the MB and its spatial relationship with the right ventricular anterior papillary muscle, its muscular trabeculations, and the free wall.
Imaging Correlation: We provide echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging to better understand histologic specimens of the MB, the trabeculated RV, and the right ventricular papillary muscles.
Multi-Modality Imaging in Caseous Calcification of the Mitral Annulus: Case Series and Clinical Implications.
Am J Case Rep
November 2024
Clinical Department of Cardiology, Interventional Electrocardiology and Hypertension, University Hospital, Cracow, Poland.
BACKGROUND Echogenic masses in the mitral annulus are often incidental findings during routine echocardiography examinations. Most represent the wide spectrum of underlying mitral annular calcifications and usually do not require further diagnostic workup. However, a rare variant called "caseous calcification of the mitral annulus" (CCMA) can be challenging to diagnose and often requires an extensive workup with the use of multiple imaging studies in order to accurately confirm the pathology.

January 2025
Division of Cardiovascular Medicine, Department of Medicine, Heart and Vascular Center, Brigham and Women's Hospital, Harvard Medical School, Boston, MA (M.H., D.M.H., B.W.).
Atherosclerosis affects patients with systemic immune-mediated inflammatory diseases at an increased rate compared with the general population. In recent years, our understanding of the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis has advanced considerably. Nevertheless, cardiovascular imaging modalities that can adequately assess the biological background of atherosclerosis have not reached widespread clinical adoption.

Cardiomyopathy, which is shortly defined as a disease of the myocardium, has a broad definition that includes many different diagnoses. Recent advances in cardiac imaging techniques, including basic and advanced echocardiography, computed tomography, nuclear medicine, and cardiac magnetic resonance, allow for a more accurate evaluation of volumes and thickness of cardiac chambers, systolic and diastolic function of the ventricules, and tissue structure. Multimodality imaging often provides the first clinical suspicion for specific etiologies, especially when the medical and family history is unclear, by identification of red flags of underlying systemic diseases.
