Multiple cardiovascular complications of COVID-19 infection in a young patient: a case report.

COVID-19 infection is responsible for many complications, which can lead to a high risk of mortality in some patients. Among them are cardiovascular complications which are classified as the most severe. We report a case of a young woman, with no relevant pathological history, admitted for COVID-19 infection, complicated by myocarditis with severe ventricular dysfunction, cardiogenic shock and a large thrombosis into the left ventricle (LV) that was responsible for a left lower limb ischemia associated with a deep venous thrombosis of right lower limb.

Rare and Underestimated Association of Pulmonary Embolism and Olanzapine Therapy; Report of Two Cases.

Venous thromboembolic disease (VTD) is a very common and severe pathological condition in which there are many predisposing factors. Olanzapine is a drug frequently used in psychiatric practises; it is thought to increase the risk of VTD. Here, we report two cases, a young man and a woman, with a medical history of schizophrenia treated by olanzapine who developed pulmonary embolism and we did not find any aetiologies of VTD in them.

Patent foramen oval: A rare case of acute ischemia of the upper limb: A case with 2 year follow-up.

Introduction And Importance: Paradoxical emboli (PDE) represent less than 2% of all arterial emboli, that is why they are considered as a rare event. We notice that the upper limb ischemia is very exceptional as part of a paradoxical embolism. This case presentation can help in considering the diagnosis the PFO as one of the most important risk factors of paradoxical embolism.
