In the present case report, we describe the clinical course and postmortem findings of a 12-year-old Labrador retriever dog with a third-degree atrio-ventricular block that developed a chronic cough, and later dyspnea and weakness as a result of massive pulmonary thromboembolism 3 years after implantation of a transvenous permanent pacemaker. A large soft tissue mass was seen in the right ventricular chamber around the pacing lead with echocardiography. Initially, this was thought to be caused by mural bacterial endocarditis based on hyperthermia, severe leukocytosis and the appearance of runs of ventricular tachycardia, the latter suggesting myocardial damage.

Background: Preclinical studies have shown the therapeutic potential of VEGF-B (vascular endothelial growth factor B) in revascularization of the ischemic myocardium, but the associated cardiac hypertrophy and adverse side effects remain a concern. To understand the importance of endothelial proliferation and migration for the beneficial versus adverse effects of VEGF-B in the heart, we explored the cardiac effects of autocrine versus paracrine VEGF-B expression in transgenic and gene-transduced mice.
Methods: We used single-cell RNA sequencing to compare cardiac endothelial gene expression in VEGF-B transgenic mouse models.

Papillary fibroelastomas are benign masses often originating from the endocardium of the aortic and mitral valves. Rarely, these neoplasms are found in areas of the heart embryonically distinct from the aortic and mitral valves. Diagnosis of a papillary fibroelastoma relies on multimodal imaging as well as histologic assessment.

Background: Chemotherapy of acute myeloid leukaemia (AML) can cause a broad spectrum of cardiotoxic effects. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is key for the diagnosis of eosinophilic myocarditis (EM) defined by the presence of sub-endocardial necrosis and fibrosis. This case report describes the picture of severe triple-vessel ischaemia due to infiltration of eosinophilia without atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD).

A 45-years-old Indonesian woman was admitted to the hospital with nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain and tachyarrhythmia. Atrial fibrillation was found at ECG, blood tests showed mild hepatic function alterations. Radiological exams showed bilateral pleural effusions, ascites, hepatomegaly.
