Introduction: and importance: Isolated left ventricular noncompaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC), uncommon type of primary hereditary cardiomyopathy. It is a spongy morphological appearance of the myocardium that occurs largely in the LV.

Case Presentation: We discuss here a case of 19 years old female with no known past medical history who present with Shortness of breath (SOB) and left sided weakness following delivery.Bedside Echocardiography demonstrated Left ventricular trabiculation with reduced ejection fraction. While brain Computed tomography showed acute ischemic stroke primly due to non-compaction cardiomyopathy as the embolic. Patient was discharged after successfully managed.

Clinical Discussion: Left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy (LVNC) is characterized by progressive ventricular trabeculation and deep intratrabecular recesses caused by the functional arrest of myocardial maturation, which is a rare case of congenital cardiomyopathy. Our patient had isolated non-compaction cardiomyopathy of the type that was complicated by an acute ischemic stroke and was treated accordingly.

Conclusion: It is usually associated with congenital heart disease, but isolated left ventricular non-compaction cardiomyopathy is very uncommon.

Boldine reduces left ventricle oxidative stress in isoproterenol-induced adrenergic overload experimental model.

Arch Physiol Biochem

December 2024

Laboratory of Cardiovascular Physiology, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Sul, Porto Alegre, Brasil.

Sustained adrenergic overload in the heart causes maladaptive cardiac remodelling, which involves oxidative stress. Boldine (BOL) has antioxidant activity and represents a novel therapeutic approach. This study explored the cardioprotective role of BOL in adverse left ventricular remodelling induced by isoproterenol.

Purpose: Few investigational reports have evaluated the status of cardiovascular manifestations of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) during the Omicron dominance period. In this study, we aimed to investigate the cardiac function parameters and clinical outcomes of patients with COVID-19 before and after the Omicron variant (OV) propagation.

Methods: We retrospectively analyzed the data of 88 adult patients with COVID-19 who underwent clinically indicated standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in intensive care wards.

Background: CD19 CAR T-cell therapy is a novel anti-cancer treatment that has produced remarkable responses in relapsed or refractory B-cell hematological malignancies. Cytokine Release Syndrome (CRS) is a dysregulated immune response that frequently occurs after CAR T-cell infusion. It can cause cardiac dysfunction and circulatory collapse negatively impacting outcomes and survival.

Introduction: The haemodynamic effects veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) remain inadequately understood. We investigated invasive left ventricular (LV) haemodynamics in patients who underwent treatment with an intensive care strategy involving extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR).

Methods: We conducted invasive haemodynamic assessments on 15 patients who underwent ECPR and achieved return of spontaneous circulation.

Background: To evaluate whether sodium zirconium cyclosilicate (SZC) enables the uptitration of spironolactone without increasing the risk of hyper- and hypokalemia in patients with heart failure with reduced and mildly reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF and HFmrEF) and moderate/severe chronic kidney disease (CKD) who developed hyperkalemia during treatment with suboptimal spironolactone dose.

Methods: The REGISTA-K is a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, multicenter trial that examined the efficacy and safety of SZC in uptitrating spironolactone without the occurrence of hyperkalemia or hypokalemia. A total of 266 patients with HFrEF and HFmrEF and hyperkalemia will be randomized in a 1:1 ratio to receive either SZC or placebo after treating hyperkalemia with SZC at 25 sites in Japan.
