A captive red howler (Alouatta seniculus) monkey developed right-sided heart failure and pulmonary arteriolar hypertension associated with a Klebsiella pneumoniae pneumonia and typhlocolitis. Clinical signs of right-sided heart failure, along with a low-grade diastolic heart murmur and diarrhea, were present.

Excipient lung disease (ELD) is a rare cause of pulmonary hypertension that occurs due to the intravenous injection of crushed tablets. We present the case of a healthcare professional in her late 30s who presented with a fever in the setting of a bacteraemia. During her hospital admission, she established a pattern of transient hypoxia and hypotension, with resolution without targeted management or clear cause identified.

Adrenal adenoma, which leads to increased production of the hormone aldosterone, commonly presents as hypertension and hypokalemia. Rhabdomyolysis as a result of hypokalemia secondary to primary hyperaldosteronism is a rare but important complication with only a few reported cases. Low potassium levels can disrupt the regulation of arteriolar musculature, leading to reduced blood flow to skeletal muscles.

This study explored the effects of melatonin on cardiac and vascular function, and redox homeostasis in model PAH. Male Wistar rats were divided into: control (CTR), monocrotaline [MCT (60 mg/kg, single dose i.p)], monocrotaline + sildenafil [MCT + SIL (50 mg/kg/day)], and monocrotaline + melatonin [MCT + MEL (10 mg/kg/day)].
