Physical examination showed a grade II/VI continuous murmur at the left sternal border. Electrocardiography showed normal sinus rhythm and nonspecific ST-T changes in lateral leads. Echocardiography showed mild left ventricular hypertrophy. Exercise test was discontinued because of anginal symptoms and occurrence of lateral ST depression. Hemoptysis was observed a few times during hospitalization. Computed tomography of the thorax showed no abnormality to explain hemoptysis.

An 80-year-old man was admitted with acute onset and progressive dyspnea. He had no history of chest pain, palpitation, or fever. Laboratory findings did not suggest any signs of infection. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an aneurysm of the mitral septal leaflet protruding into the left atrium during systole and color-flow Doppler ultrasonography showed severe mitral regurgitation. There was no aortic regurgitation nor evidence for rheumatic involvement of the valvular structures. Pulmonary artery systolic pressure estimated from the tri...

Thyroid function tests showed subclinical hyperthyroidism and an electrophysiological study showed the supra-His level as the site of complete AV block. After initiation of antithyroid treatment (propylthiouracil), the patient's rhythm improved to second-degree AV block on the third day and returned to normal sinus rhythm on the fourth day.

She presented with complaints of fatigue and shortness of breath. The chest X-ray showed an increased cardiothoracic ratio, and echocardiographic examination showed a marked pericardial effusion. Pericardiocentesis was performed and a total of 860 ml hemorrhagic pericardial fluid was aspirated. At the end of the first week after removal of the catheter, control chest radiography showed air-fluid levels in the pericardial cavity, and echocardiography revealed dense air bubbles in the decreased pericardial effusion. As the patient was hemodynamically stable, she was monitored on medical treatment. However, five days later, pericardiocentesis was repeated due to a significant increase in the per...

The electrocardiogram was consistent with acute inferior myocardial infarction. Transthoracic echocardiography showed increased left ventricular dimensions and hypokinesia in the inferolateral wall. Coronary angiography performed for percutaneous coronary intervention showed aneurysmatic dilatation (15-16 mm) and total occlusion of the right coronary artery by a large thrombus. As there was no stent available for dilated right coronary artery and due to the large thrombus burden, medical therapy was decided and tissue plasminogen activator infusion was started. The patient's chest pain progressively decreased. Coronary angi...

Exercise myocardial perfusion imaging revealed perfusion defects involving the basal regions of the inferior and inferoseptal walls. Coronary angiography showed an intercoronary continuity between the right coronary artery and circumflex artery. Following institution of medical therapy, the patient's complaint improved and she had no complaint during one-year follow-up. This is the first reported case in which an intercoronary continuity was associated with myocardial ischemia.

Epicardially located accessory pathways may require different management strategies when conventional ablation attempts fail. In particular, an epicardial accessory pathway communicating the right atrial appendage to the right ventricle is an extraordinary situation resulting in difficulties in ablation. Hereby, we report on a challenging case of percutaneous epicardial ablation of an epicardial accessory pathway located at right atrial appendage in a 28-year-old man with Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome, who had a prior history of unsuccessful endocardial ablation.

Fracture of the IVUS catheter in the coronary artery is very rare and embolization of a fractured segment into other organs has not been reported. A 41-year-old male patient underwent IVUS imaging for further assessment of a lesion detected angiographically in the left main coronary artery. During the procedure, the distal tip of the IVUS catheter fractured in the left main coronary artery. Percutaneous retrieval of the broken fragment was attempted using a coronary snare, but the fragment freed from the snare and embolized into the right renal artery. After placement of a right coronary guide wire catheter in the right renal a...

Significant carotid artery stenosis is closely associated with the development of stroke and cerebrovascular events. Doppler ultrasound imaging is a noninvasive and useful modality for the examination of carotid and vertebral arteries. However, proper investigation of the carotid artery system requires sufficient technical knowledge and experience. This review gives information about the techniques of appropriate examination of the carotid artery system.

However, physicians dealing with these patients in their daily practice may need guidance in choosing therapeutic alternatives as soon as the dyspneic patient arrives to the emergency department. Herein, practical recommendations for the very early management of patients with acute heart failure syndromes are presented. Blood pressure- and symptom-driven strategy along with early initiation of goal-directed therapies are key take-home messages. Furthermore, early and frequent reassessment is also an imperative part of management so that adjustments in the initial therapeutic plan can be achieved in a timely fashion. PMID: 217...

Vascular access-related bleeding accounts for more than 80% of all major bleeding events in PCI performed by the transfemoral approach. Transradial approach (TRA), on the other hand, virtually eliminates access site bleeding and vascular complications. Although clinical trials have mostly evaluated different pharmacological strategies for reducing bleeding risk, adoption of a radial rather than a femoral access may allow greater reductions in bleeding complications than pharmacological strategies alone.

On coronary angiography, selective catheterization of the LIMA showed fistula formation to the pulmonary artery, which probably led to coronary steal syndrome and myocardial ischemia. He underwent surgery and the connection between the LIMA and pulmonary artery was terminated. After surgery, his anginal complaints improved and echocardiography showed improvement in the wall motion abnormality detected before surgery.

An epicardial left ventricular pacemaker lead was placed by a transvenous route through the coronary sinus into the lateral cardiac vein in a 58-year-old woman with mechanical aortic, mitral, and tricuspid valves, for permanent pacing due to chronic atrial fibrillation with a slow ventricular rate accompanied by syncope. This lead was then connected to a single-chamber pacemaker. The patient had no problem in the following three months.

After diltiazem infusion, a single oral dose of 600 mg propafenone was given to the patient for medical cardioversion. Approximately four hours later, sinus rhythym was restored. Re-evaluation of the admission ECG revealed right bundle branch block and saddleback-type ST-segment elevation of about 2 mm in V1-2 leads. Following propafenone, this type 2 Brugada ECG pattern turned to the coved type 1 Brugada pattern with ST elevation of more than 2 mm. After disappearance of propafenone effect, the ECG pattern turned to the type 2 Brugada pattern. Considering that the patient also had a family history of sudden cardiac death, elec...

A 64-year-old male patient presented with complaints of exertional dyspnea, fatigue, arthralgia, weight loss, intermittent high fever, and palpitation. He had an 18-month history of stent implantation for the left anterior descending coronary artery. Echocardiography showed a mobile mass in the left atrium with regular contours. Coronary angiography was performed with the initial diagnosis of myxoma and vascular supply of the tumor by the proximal branches of the right coronary artery (RCA) was visualized.

Randomized trials on electrophysiological mechanisms, treatment with antiarrhyhtmic/anticoagulant drugs and non-pharmacological treatment have provided considerable insight into the nature and treatment of the disease leading to novel promising therapeutic options in the management of patients with AF. Comprehension of the epidemiology and natural course of AF seems to be crucial in developing new treatment strategies to limit burden of the disease on the population and a...
