Primary Cardiac Myxofibrosarcoma of the Left Atrium with Heterologous Elements Mimicking a Cardiac Myxoma.
Am J Case Rep
January 2025
Department of Anatomic Pathology and Cytopathology, University Hospital "Dr. José Eleuterio González", Monterrey, Mexico.
BACKGROUND Primary cardiac malignancies are extremely rare, with an incidence of 0.07% on autopsy series. Primary sarcomas represent up to 95% of malignant neoplasms, with myxofibrosarcomas accounting for only 10%.

Eur Heart J Case Rep
December 2024
Heart Failure and Transplant Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero-Universitaria di Bologna, Via Massarenti 9, 40138 Bologna, Italy.
Article Synopsis
- - Diagnosing cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is difficult, often leading to heart transplantation (HT) as the last option, especially when immunosuppressive therapies fail in advanced cases.
- - The case study presents four patients, each with different symptoms and backgrounds, who ultimately required HT for their CS, revealing the condition's complexity and urgency.
- - There are significant mid- and long-term challenges following HT for CS, notably the need for careful management of immunosuppression to prevent rejection and recurrence of sarcoidosis.
Permanent pacemaker implantation for atrioventricular block secondary to acute pancreatitis in a patient affected by panhypopituitarism.
Egypt Heart J
December 2024
Division of Cardiovascular and Perioperative Medicine, Careggi University Hospital, Largo Brambilla 3, 50134, Florence, Italy.
Background: Hypopituitarism may trigger the development of acute pancreatitis (AP) through multiple mechanisms. AP may alter normal intracardiac conduction leading to an atrioventricular block. Due to the lack of similar cases, the correct timing and indication for pacemaker implantation in such a setting are unknown.

EuroIntervention
November 2024
Cardiology Unit, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Bologna Policlinico S. Orsola, Bologna, Italy.
Background: New conduction disturbances are frequent after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). Refining our ability to predict high-grade atrioventricular block (AVB) occurring later than 24 hours after the procedure would be useful in order to select patients eligible for early discharge.
Aims: This study was designed to identify predictors of high-grade AVB occurring between 24 hours and 30 days after TAVI and to develop and validate a predictive risk score.
Challenges in the terminology of second-degree atrioventricular block.
Herzschrittmacherther Elektrophysiol
December 2024
Professor of Medicine, University of South Florida, 33606, Tampa, FL, USA.
Article Synopsis
- The terminology for second-degree atrioventricular block has changed over the years, leading to confusion and misinterpretations.
- It's crucial to stick to standard terminology and correctly use eponyms to prevent mistakes in diagnosis.
- Clear communication in medical terms helps ensure accurate understanding and treatment of conditions.
