Unlabelled: Left ventricle pseudoaneurysm is a rare and life-threatening complication of myocardial infarction that is formed as a result of left ventricle free wall rupture contained by the overlying pericardium. Urgent surgical repair is crucial, and in most reports, left ventricle was reconstructed with a Dacron or bovine pericardial patch. We present a case of a 66-year-old female with left ventricle pseudoaneurysm which was successfully repaired with an extracellular matrix patch.

We sought to evaluate the intracardiac morphology and associated cardiovascular anomalies in patients with double inlet right ventricle (DIRV) on multidetector CT angiography. A retrospective search of our departmental database was conducted from January 2014 to January 2023 to identify patients with a diagnosis of DIRV on CT angiography. The intracardiac anatomy and associated cardiovascular abnormalities were systematically evaluated.

Transthyretin Cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) is an increasingly recognised cause of heart failure in our elderly patients with preserved ejection fraction. Patients with ATTR-CA who require permanent pacemaker implantation often have preserved ejection fraction and do not meet the clinical indication for cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT). In these patients, left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP) can be a reasonable option to maximise physiological activation of the left ventricle.

Robust preclinical models of asymmetric ventricular loading in late gestation reflecting conditions such as hypoplastic left heart syndrome are lacking. We characterized the morphometry and microvascular function of the hypoplastic left ventricle (LV) and remaining right ventricle (RV) in a sham-controlled late gestation fetal lamb model of impaired left ventricular inflow (ILVI). Singleton fetuses were instrumented at ∼120 days gestational age (dGA; term is ∼147 days) with vascular catheters, an aortic flow probe and a deflated left atrial balloon.

We presented a case of a 49-year-old presenting with atypical chest pain and hypertrophic phenotype cardiomyopathy without coronary artery disease. At cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR), the left ventricle was of normal volumes and preserved global ejection fraction with an asymmetric wall hypertrophy. The evaluation of native myocardial T1 has been calculated at an average global value of 924 ms, compatible with hypertrophic phenotype cardiomyopathy with reduced native T1 values as observed in Anderson-Fabry disease.
