Newer Heart Devices Significantly Improve Survival, Complication Rate And Quality Of Lifeemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
A new generation of implanted devices that help a failing heart function properly is significantly more effective than the previous version, making these new devices an appropriate permanent therapy for many of the more than 5 million Americans who suffer from heart failure. A research team led by a University of Louisville cardiac surgeon published data to support these conclusions in the November 17, 2009 Online First edition of the New England Journal of Medicine.

The addition of niacin to statin therapy in secondary-prevention patients resulted in a significant improvement in lipids but failed to significantly alter atherosclerotic disease progression as measured by MRI. Researchers say it's a win for treating patients to target and suggest this trumps raising HDL.

An 84-year-old woman with hypertension and recent onset stable angina underwent coronary angiography after a myocardial perfusion scan demonstrated anterior ischaemia. This revealed a single coronary artery ostium in the right sinus of Valsalva from which arose the left anterior descending (LAD) artery and right coronary artery (RCA). The LAD was found to take a route to the left in a retroaortic fashion (dorsal) before assuming its usual position in the anterior interventricular groove. It had a proximal 70% atheromatous stenosis. The RCA traversed the atrioventricular groove giving rise to a posterior descending branch a...

A 56-year-old man presented with 48h of crescendo angina pectoris and labile ECG changes with transient lateral ST elevation and deep anterior/inferior ST depression. Primary PCI was unsuccessful as non-selective cusp injections could not identify the left and right coronary ostia. On-table echocardiography revealed a dilated aortic root suggesting an acute aortic dissection. An urgent 64-slice multi-detector row CT (MDCT) gated scan of the thoracic aorta and coronary arteries showed a single coronary ostium arising higher and more anterior above the sinotubular ridge. Originating from the ostium were two vessels: a small ...

Congenital Left Atrial Appendage Aneurysm: A Case Report and Brief Review of Literatureemail this articleEmail this article to a colleague. save this article to My ClippingsSave this article to My Clippings. discuss this articleDiscuss or comment on this article.
A 28-year-old woman with congenital aneurysm of the left atrial appendage was successfully treated by aneurysmectomy and is reported for its rarity. The exact diagnosis is relatively easy to make by contrast echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging, and/or computerised tomographic angiography, provided the possibility is entertained. Because of supraventricular arrhythmias and systemic thromboembolism, surgical resection was deemed the best curative option to avoid further episodes and recurrence. Published reports detailing the diagnostic evaluation and surgical management for congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm are also discussed.

Post-cardiac injury syndrome is an inflammatory process involving the pleura and pericardium secondary to cardiac injury and can develop following transvenous pacemaker insertion. We now report a patient who developed this syndrome following dual-chamber pacemaker insertion with active fixation of the atrial and ventricular leads. The pericardial fluid was bloody and had a neutrophilic predominance. The pericardial biopsy revealed fibrinous pericarditis with a mixed inflammatory cell infiltrate. The pleural effusion was exudative and had a neutrophilic predominance. Nine similar cases were identified in the English literat...
