It is unusual for young patients without any underlying diseases to experience sudden cerebral infarction and heart failure. Here, we report a rare case of a 28-year-old female patient who presented with chest tightness and dizziness. Left ventricular thrombus formation and cardiac insufficiency were evident on echocardiogram, while multiple acute or subacute cerebral infarctions were visible on brain magnetic resonance imaging.

Background: Ventricular separation is a multipart, extensive disease of the heart that hinders the electrical conduction of the cardiac system ventricular muscle, causing a bidirectional conduction block. The occurrence of ventricular separation suggests that the myocardium is in a state of severe ischemia, and the prognosis is generally poor. Herein, we present arescue case in which the extremely rare phenomenon of ventricular separation developed and was documented in realtime.

Background: Coronary Artery Spasm (CAS) often presents in the epicardial coronary arteries. The anterior septal branch is distributed within the myocardium, and occurrences of spasms are rare. Currently, there is no available literature on this topic, and the onset of symptoms remains elusive, potentially leading to misdiagnosis.

The fibroblastic sleeve is a structure potentially enveloping any intravascular device. At ultrasound scan, it typically presents as a thin layer of variably echogenic material covering the catheter surface, which usually tends to remain into the vessel after the catheter removal. However, several case reports have documented its migration toward the heart or pulmonary artery after a central venous catheter removal.

Nitric oxide (NO)-donor drugs, which stimulate reduced form of soluble guanylate cyclase (sGC), have different efficacy to the arteries and veins. This study examined whether sGC activators, which activate oxidized/apo sGC, also have arteriovenous selectivity similar to that of NO-donor drugs. The mechanical responses of the isolated blood vessels were assessed using the organ chamber technique and protein expression was verified using western blotting.
