Article Synopsis
- Isolated cardiac sarcoidosis can occasionally present with transient ischemic attacks (TIAs) or strokes as initial signs, emphasizing the need for doctors to consider it when patients have new neurological symptoms and cardiac disease indicators.
- A case involving a 54-year-old woman shows how she experienced TIAs without initial heart dysfunction, but later developed heart issues (cardiomyopathy) and a left ventricular thrombus, linking her strokes to cardiac problems.
- The patient was treated with anticoagulation and immunosuppressive therapies, leading to both the resolution of the thrombus and improvement in her heart function, underscoring the importance of investigating cardiac sarcoidosis as a potential cause of unexplained cerebrovascular incidents.
Pattern and Prognostic Impact of Regional Wall Motion Abnormalities in 255 697 Men and 236 641 Women Investigated with Echocardiography.

Background: Regional wall motion abnormalities (WMAs) after myocardial infarction are associated with adverse remodeling and increased mortality in the short to medium term. Their long-term prognostic impact is less well understood.
Methods And Results: Via the National Echo Database of Australia (2000-2019), we identified normal wall motion versus WMA for each left ventricular wall among 492 338 individuals aged 61.

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetic disease with heterogeneous clinical presentation and prognosis. Within the broad phenotypic expression of HCM, there is a subgroup of patients with a left ventricular (LV) apical aneurysm, which has an estimated prevalence between 2% and 5%. LV apical aneurysm is characterized by an area of apical dyskinesis or akinesis, often associated with regional scarring.

Article Synopsis
- * The use of cocaine can lead to various heart problems, including coronary artery spasms and congestive heart failure, as well as a rare condition called Takotsubo cardiomyopathy (TCM), which affects heart muscle movement without any blockage in the coronary arteries.
- * A case report details a 54-year-old man who suffered a cardiac arrest linked to cocaine use and was diagnosed with TCM, highlighting the importance for doctors to recognize this connection, as stopping cocaine can lead to full recovery from TCM.
Case report: diagnosis of chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy using a multimodality imaging approach.

Division of Cardiology, Rush University Medical Center, 1717 West Congress Parkway, Chicago, IL 60612, USA.
Background: In the USA, ∼300 000 people are affected by Chagas heart disease, a growing, but commonly overlooked, public health issue. Chagas as a potential aetiology of dilated cardiomyopathy remains under-recognized. We present a case where multimodality imaging was essential in the diagnosis and management of Chagas heart disease.
