Background: Pericardial mesothelioma cyst occurs rarely, and is often found incidentally. The coexistence between large pericardial mesothelial cyst and hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) can make difficulties in medical management.
Case Report: Our case was a 33-year-old man presented with dizziness and pallor while standing since four years before, and recent syncope. On admission, transthoracic echocardiography reveled presence of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in association with relatively small right ventricular and atrium due to compression effect by a large echo-free space at the right side of heart suggestive of pericardial cyst. Cardiac computed tomography confirmed presence of HOCM and large pericardial cyst. Patient underwent surgical septal myectomy and large mesothelial pericardial cyst excision because of persistent symptoms and compression effect of cyst on the right chambers despite beta-blocker therapy.
Conclusion: To best of our knowledge, the coexistence of the large pericardial mesothelial cyst and HOCM has not been reported before.

Background: Pericardial complications following cardiac surgery are common and debilitating, significantly impacting patients' survival. We performed this network meta-analysis to identify the most effective and safest preventions and treatments for pericardial complications following cardiac surgery.
Methods: We systematically searched PubMed/MEDLINE, EMBASE and Cochrane CENTRAL from inception to 22 January 2024.

Introduction: Cytologic evaluation of pericardial fluid is essential for diagnosing malignant pericardial effusions secondary to metastatic disease and for guiding appropriate clinical management; however, large cohort and up-to-date studies on malignancy rates and distribution of primary tumor sites is lacking.
Materials And Methods: A retrospective analysis of pericardial fluid specimens from 2 large academic medical centers over a 10-year period was conducted. Clinical and specimen characteristics were correlated with cytologic diagnoses, and compared with surgical pathology pericardial specimens when available.

Background: Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is an exceedingly uncommon type of lymphoma that primarily affects the heart and/or pericardium, or manifests through cardiac symptoms due to myocardial infiltration. The infrequency of PCL, coupled with its non-specific clinical presentations, often complicates early diagnosis. This study aims to fill the existing gap in clinical knowledge regarding PCL by detailing a case of PCL and examining its clinical features, auxiliary examinations, treatment approaches, and prognostic outcomes, thereby facilitating early detection and enhancing patient care.

Objective: This study aims to investigate the monthly variation patterns of bioelectrical impedance (BEI) along 24 meridian pathways in healthy individuals.
Methods: A cohort of 684 healthy middle-aged participants from North China was enrolled between July 1, 2017, and September 5, 2020. BEI measurements were consistently recorded along the 24 meridian pathways over the study period.

Left ventricular (LV) pseudoaneurysm, a rare occurrence, develops when a ruptured ventricle is encapsulated by the pericardium or scar tissue. Unlike free intrapericardial rupture, which often results in cardiac tamponade and fatal outcome, there are instances where the cardiac rupture remains contained, forming a pseudoaneurysm and averting immediate tamponade. We describe a 43-year-old male who underwent successful surgical repair of LV rupture following inferior wall myocardial infarction that resulted in the formation of a large pseudoaneurysm.
