The authors describe a patient with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy with concomitant left ventricular outflow tract obstruction and aortic stenosis. Detailed haemodynamic assessment of the serial lesions was performed. Alcohol septal ablation resulted in a significant reduction of gradients across the left ventricular outflow tract.

Department of Cardiology, the First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, Jiangsu 210029, China.
The current study aimed to evaluate the efficacy and safety of Compound Danshen Dripping Pills (CDDP) in improving cardiac function among patients with acute anterior ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (AAMI). Between February 2021 and February 2023, 247 eligible patients with AAMI after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) were enrolled and randomly assigned (1∶1) to receive CDDP ( = 126) or placebo ( = 121), with a follow-up of 48 weeks. Compared with the placebo group, the CDDP group demonstrated a significant increase in left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) values after 24 weeks of the treatment (least squares mean: 3.

Subvalvular aortic stenosis typically manifests at a young age and rarely presents in adulthood. It may cause left ventricular outflow tract stenosis, which requires surgical treatment in severe cases. The coexistence of discrete subvalvular aortic stenosis and quadricuspid aortic valve is a highly unusual finding.

Hypothyroidism is typically associated with bradyarrhythmias, but can rarely precipitate life-threatening ventricular arrhythmias. We present a case of severe hypothyroidism manifesting as polymorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT). A previously healthy woman in her early 50s presented with an acute onset of breathlessness and on examination had hypotension and tachycardia.

Complete circumferential aortic dissection with bidirectional intimo-intimal intussusception is a rare occurrence in Stanford type A dissections. The antegrade dissection flap can obstruct the left ventricular outflow tract and coronary sinuses, whereas the retrograde flap can obstruct the aortic arch and branch vessels. Sequelae include aortic regurgitation, myocardial ischemia, and neurologic complications.

Background: We describe our clinical experience performing device exchange from a HeartMate II (HM2) or HVAD to a HeartMate 3 (HM3) left ventricular assist device.
Methods: A single-center retrospective study was performed of all patients (N = 14) who underwent a left ventricular assist device exchange from HM2 (n = 7) or HVAD (n = 7) to HM3 between October 2018 and October 2021. The primary outcome was 1-year overall survival, and secondary outcomes included adverse events through discharge.
