Localized left ventricular myocardial defect leading to fatal cerebral embolism.
The case of a previously health 17-year-old youth who presented a fatal cerebral infarct is described. A localized defect in the anterior left ventricular myocardium with overlying thrombus, and left ventricular hypertrophy were found at necropsy. An old infarct was found in the left kidney. There were no signs of ischaemic or inflammatory heart disease. The possible origins of the lesion are d...
متن کاملMetatarsal Fracture Leading to Massive Pulmonary Embolism
Immobilization and bed rest after fracture and orthopedic surgery are routinely advised protocol. Period of bed rest usually depends on the type of injury and orthopedic procedure, ranging from few days to weeks. The trauma, surgery, and immobilization with other contributing factors can lead to deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism (PE) in these patients. Although there is high incidence...
متن کاملIdiopathic ventricular premature contractions originating from the postero-lateral tricuspid annulus leading to left ventricular disfunction.
A 19-year-old patient with premature ventricular complexes (PVCs) more than 30% on 24 hours was addressed for catheter ablation. Echocardiography showed left ventricular (LV) dilation and systolic dysfunction with 37% of ejection fraction. The patient underwent investigations including cardiac magnetic resonance (MRI) with no other cause of cardiomyopathy being found. Successful ablation of the...
متن کاملImpact of left ventricular late enhancement on pulmonary arterial hypertension in idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy
Methods 71 consecutive patients (p) with DCM, left ventricular systolic dysfunction (LVEF<35%) and normal coronary angiography followed in an outpatient HF clinic, were prospectively enrolled in two institutions. All p had to be in stable clinical condition in the last month. Exclusion criteria were: contraindications for contrast-enhanced cardiac MR (ce-CMR), significant impairment of lung fun...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Myxoma Leading to Stroke
Primary cardiac tumors are rare, and most are myxomas. Only approximately 5% of cardiac myxomas originate from the ventricles.We report the case of a 23-year-old man presenting with right hemiplegia and muscle strength degeneration under a diagnosis of stroke. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a 29 × 26 mm mass arising from the anterior interventricular septum. The tumor was surgically re...
