Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, also called Yamaguchi syndrome, is a rare variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Yamaguchi syndrome is characterized by hypertrophy almost confined to the apical region of the left ventricle rather than the left ventricular septum. A case of 65-year-old Saudi man presented to the ER with angina, and the ECG, echocardiogram, and nuclear study confirmed the diagnosis with Yamaguchi. Reporting this case serves to help physicians broaden their vision in approaching patients with symptoms mimicking acute coronary syndrome.

We investigated the influence of false lumen (FL) status on the systemic inflammatory response triggered by acute aortic dissection (AAD) using cytokine profiling. The study included 44 patients with AAD. Patients were divided between those with a thrombosed FL (Group T, n = 21) and those with a non-thrombosed FL (Group P, n = 23).

It has been proposed that bone marrow contributes to the pathogenesis of arteriosclerosis. Nerve growth factor receptor (NGFR) is expressed in bone marrow stromal cells; it is also present in peripheral blood and ischemic coronary arteries. We hypothesized that bone marrow-derived NGFR-positive (NGFR) cells regulate arterial remodeling.
