The aim of this study was to conduct Doppler echocardiography on healthy free-ranging anteaters () and to evaluate the relationship between echocardiographic parameters of diagnostic importance and animal body weight (BW). This work utilized 8 anesthetized adult animals and 4 manually restrained pups. The echocardiographic examinations were performed with the animal in left lateral recumbency.

Solitary fibrous tumor of the pleura (SFTP) is a rare mesenchymal tumor, making up a small fraction of primary pleural tumors. It is typically benign but can display malignant features. This case presents a 59-year-old patient with a giant malignant SFTP located in the right posterior inferior mediastinum, which caused significant compression of adjacent structures, including the lung, heart, and esophagus.

Coronary artery involvement in giant cell arteritis (GCA) is rare but can lead to severe complications, including myocardial infarction and death. We present unique 2-[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-[18F]FDG-PET/CT) findings in a 91-year-old woman with GCA. In addition to typical aortic and supra-aortic involvement, this scan revealed intense FDG uptake in the coronary arteries, including the left main trunk, left anterior descending, circumflex, and right coronary arteries.

Marfan syndrome (MFS) is an autosomal dominant disease caused by mutations in the gene (FBN1) of fibrillin-1, a major determinant of the extracellular matrix (ECM). Functional impairment in the cardiac left ventricle (LV) of these patients is usually a consequence of aortic valve disease. However, LV passive stiffness may also be affected by chronic changes in mechanical load and ECM dysfunction.
