Sinus node dysfunction preceding herpes simplex encephalitis: A case report.
J Cardiol Cases
November 2024
Nagoya University Graduate School of Medicine, Department of Cardiology, Nagoya, Japan.
Article Synopsis
- - A 72-year-old man with faintness was diagnosed with sick sinus syndrome and experienced an Adams-Stokes attack, leading to the implantation of a permanent pacemaker.
- - After developing seizures, CT scans revealed herpes simplex virus DNA in the cerebrospinal fluid, prompting immediate treatment with intravenous acyclovir.
- - Despite treatment, the patient's condition worsened with additional brain damage and ultimately led to death from aspiration pneumonia, highlighting the need to consider herpes encephalitis in cases of sinus node dysfunction.
Sintilimab-Induced Myocarditis in a Patient with Gastric Cancer: A Case Report and Literature Review.

Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have emerged as a powerful and efficacious therapeutic approach for many cancer patients. Sintilimab is a fully human IgG4 monoclonal antibody that binds with programmed cell death receptor-1 (PD-1) to block its interaction with ligands, thereby enhancing the antitumor effects of T cells. However, ICIs may induce immune-related adverse events (irAEs) in various systems and organs, with fulminant myocarditis being the most severe one.

Department of Cardiac Surgery, Chest Hospital, Tianjin University, No. 261 Taierzhuang South Road, Jinnan District, Tianjin, 300222, China.
Background: Perioperative coronary artery spasm (CAS) following coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) is a severe or lethal condition that is rarely reported. In addition, rare cases with CAS following CABG in the non-manipulated coronary artery are angiographically documented in the perioperative period. We aimed to report our experiences on the diagnosis and treatment of a case with CAS following off-pump CABG in the non-manipulated coronary artery.

Hypothyroidism can lead to bradycardia, reduced cardiac output, cardiac enlargement, and abnormal electrocardiogram. However, hemodynamic instability and malignant arrhythmias due to hypothyroidism is rarely reported in children. We report the case of a child with third-degree atrioventricular block, cardiogenic shock, and Adams Stokes Syndrome, who was initially misdiagnosed with fulminant myocarditis and was later found to have hypothyroidism during treatment.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Patients with a temporary pacemaker (TPM) for bradycardias are required to maintain bedrest until permanent pacemakers (PPMs) are implanted because of the development of Adams-Stokes syndrome, worsening heart failure, or complications associated with TPMs is anticipated. However, bedrest may be detrimental in patients because it leads to disuse syndrome. This study examined whether bedrest could decrease the incidence of cardiovascular events or complications associated with TPMs in patients waiting for PPM implantation.
