Muscular septal aneurysms are extremely rare without a ventricular septal defect and are diagnosed accidentally in most cases. Reported cases generally have rhythm disturbance or electrocardiographic findings of Wolf-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. Presently described are 2 cases of ventricular septal aneurysm associated with WPW syndrome, which presented as dilated cardiomyopathy. Pre-excitati...

Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is a common condition in the emergency department. A case is presented of a 76-year-old patient with acute chest pain and broad complex tachycardia. Despite the fact that previous and post cardioversion ECG tracings in sinus rhythm showed no signs of pre-excitation, the characteristic pattern of pre-excited atrial fibrillation (AF) is recognized and after successf...

Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) is an acquired valvular condition and is rarely associated with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome. A 51-year-old Caucasian female with known MS presented with syncopal episodes, exertional fatigue and was noted to have atrial fi brillation (AF) with wide-QRS complexes. Old electrocardiogram revealed classical fi ndings of WPW syndrome and wide-QRS was believed ...

Abstract Cerebral Autosomal Dominant Arteriopathy with Subcortical Infarcts and Leukoencephalopathy (CADASIL) is a hereditary vascular disorder inherited in an autosomal dominant manner. MRI plays crucial role the diagnosis follow-up of patients. Characteristic lesions include symmetric bilateral white matter periventricular hyperintensities, lacunar infarcts cerebral microbleeds. In our case r...

BACKGROUND Percutaneous catheter radiofrequency ablation (RFA) and cryoablation of the left atrium and pulmonary vein ostia have become successful therapeutic modalities in the management of atrial fibrillation. Atrio-esophageal fistula is a rare complication. Awareness of complication risk is imperative because without prompt diagnosis and urgent surgical intervention, the outcome is often fat...

Objectives: We planned our survey study to evaluate the opinion of cardiologists about class II recommendations on levels evidence in current European Society Cardiology Guidelines (ESC). Our aim is determine which diagnosis or treatment option most prefer by cardiologist when guidelines do not make clear recommendations. Methods: The was conducted September 2020 with participation (n = 102). c...

objective: leukocyte adhesion deficiency(lad) is a scarce, autosomal recessive inherited disorder . lad-i which is the most common type occurs due to mutations on the cd18 gene. this mutation leads to absence or severe reduction of leukocyte cell surface expression of ß2 integrin molecules which are necessary for the adhesion of the leukocytes to the endothelial cells, transendothelial migratio...

Anomalous origin of the left coronary artery arising from the pulmonary artery (Bland-White-Garland syndrome also known as ALCAPA syndrome), is a rare congenital abnormality affecting 1 in 300.000 live births, accounting for 0,5% of cases of congenital heart disease [1]. Patients with Bland-White-Garland (BWG) syndrome who survive past childhood often have varying symptoms of myocardial ischaem...

prolapsed mitral valve syndrome is a common, benign disorder with prevalence of %0.3-6 in population. this syndrome also is known as barlows syndrome and flaapy mitral valve syndrome. prolapsed mitral valve is the dropping of one or two mitral valve leaflet(s) into the left atrium during ventricular systole. this malformation leads to incomplete closing of mitral valve and regurgitates the bloo...
