Streptococcus equi Subspecies zooepidemicus Endocarditis and Meningitis in a 62-Year-Old Horse Rider Patient: A Case Report and Literature Review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39597590/
The present article presents a case report and literature review concerning the Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus (SEZ), a rare zoonotic pathogen in humans. The case involves a 62-year-old man with...
A 62-year-old man developed Streptococcus equi subspecies zooepidemicus endocarditis, pneumonia, and meningitis after horse contact, requiring urgent aortic valve replacement; highlights zoonotic risks, early diagnosis, and combined antibiotic-surgical management.
Mitral valve leaflet blood cyst treated with minimally invasive approach: a case report and review of literature - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38281941/
Although a cardiac blood cyst is a rare entity in adults, it still should be considered in the differential diagnosis of cardiac tumors. Because the natural history and hemodynamic effects...
Cardiac blood cysts, rare in adults, can mimic cardiac tumors. This case of a 66-year-old with a mitral valve cyst highlights successful resection, repair, and uneventful recovery over six months.
Missense variants in phospholamban and cardiac myosin binding protein identified in patients with a family history and clinical diagnosis of dilated cardiomyopathy - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38387507/
As the genetic landscape of cardiomyopathies continues to expand, the identification of missense variants in disease-associated genes frequently leads to a classification of variant of uncertain significance (VUS). For the...
Novel missense variants in phospholamban and cardiac myosin binding protein, associated with dilated and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, were functionally characterized, providing new evidence for reclassification of some variants as potentially pathogenic.
Total pulmonary arterial reconstruction in a patient with arterial tortuosity syndrome affecting the pulmonary artery: a case report and review of the literature - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38987788/
ATS is a rare genetic condition that affects the great arteries especially the pulmonary arteries causing stenotic and tortuous vessels that may be central branches or distal peripheral branches that...
Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS) is a rare genetic disorder causing pulmonary artery stenosis and right ventricular hypertension. Surgical reconstruction improves outcomes, though challenges like lung reperfusion injury may arise.
Particularities of a Cardiac Amorphous Left Ventricular Tumor in a Patient with Coronary Artery Disease-Diagnostic and Therapeutic Challenges: A Case Report and Literature Review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39458043/
Background : Cardiac calcified amorphous tumors (CATs) are rare non-neoplastic formations containing amorphous fibrinous material and calcifications. In our research, we present the case of a 42-year-old male patient who...
A 42-year-old male developed a left ventricular cardiac calcified amorphous tumor (CAT) during monitoring for coronary artery disease. CATs are rare, slow-growing, and pose embolization risks; complete removal prevents relapse.
