Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is an underdiagnosed cause of acute coronary syndrome, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death. During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, a multisystem inflammatory syndrome (MIS) emerged that is incompletely understood. While the involvement of numerous organ systems has been described, the potential cardiovascular manifestations, such as myocarditis, arterial thrombosis, or SCAD, are particularly worrisome. Here, we present a case of MIS that was preceded by an unremarkable case of COVID-19 and followed by the development of SCAD. This case highlights the importance of furthering our understanding of the potential sequelae of COVID-19 and of the potential relationship between SCAD and MIS.

Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of ST Segment Elevation in Lead aVR Among Patients with Cardiac Arrest.
Eur Heart J Acute Cardiovasc Care
January 2025
Section of Cardiovascular Medicine, Yale School of Medicine, New Haven, CT.
Background: In acute coronary syndrome, ST-segment elevation in lead aVR (STE-aVR) indicates global myocardial ischemia, often related to multivessel or severe left main disease, and correlates with increased mortality. The prevalence and prognostic significance of STE-aVR in cardiac arrest (CA) patients is unknown.
Methods: We identified patients (≥18 years) with CA between 2011 to 2022 who achieved return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC).

Introduction: Our goal was to determine the differences in changes in cardiovascular and cardiorespiratory interaction indicators during a respiratory maneuver with a change in breathing rate in athletes with different types of heart rate regulation.
Methods: The results of a study of 183 healthy men aged 21.2 ± 2.
Mid-trimester resolution of marked dextroposition of the fetal heart preceding regression of extensive left fetal lung lesion consisting of hybrid congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) and bronchopulmonary sequestration (BPS).

Extensive congenital pulmonary airway malformation (CPAM) of the left fetal lung and associated marked dextroposition of the fetal heart were noted at 21 weeks' gestation. The right fetal lung appeared compressed with the cardiomediastinal shift angle measuring approximately 20 degrees. Potential subsequent right pulmonary hypoplasia was considered.

Due to its hemodynamic stability, ketamine is a commonly used anesthetic agent for sedation during small procedures in the critical care unit. We report a case of an 8-year-old girl, previously diagnosed with tetralogy of Fallot who presented for operative correction of the congenital anomaly. She underwent a successful operation and recovered smoothly.
