MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO A DIFFICULT CASE OF ACUTE HEART FAILURE DUE TO POSSIBILE ISOLATED CARDIAC SARCOIDOSIS
Anno:
2024
Background – Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a rare, infiltrative cardiomyopathy that results from granulomatous inflammation affecting the heart with high morbidity and mortality. It is usually associated with a systemic (i.e. pulmonary) involvement, but lone heart involvement has been described. Even with extensive multidisciplinary evaluation making a firm diagnosis…
DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY, GUIDELINES PERSONALIZATION OF CARE
Anno:
2024
The term Dilated cardiomyopathy (CMD) refers to a family of diseases characterized by complex interactions between environment and genetic predisposition. Diagnostic tools as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) must be systematically implemented in clinical practice to define the etiological cause and undertake a specific therapeutic treatment. We present the…
LMNA-RELATED DILATED CARDIOMYOPATHY PRESENTING WITH REGIONAL WALL AKINESIS AND TRANSMURAL LATE GADOLINIUM ENHANCEMENT
Anno:
2024
A 26-year-old girl was admitted at hospital in December 2022 for a syncopal episode. She referred fatigue and dyspnea in the last 2 months. EKG was markedly abnormal showing peripheral low voltages, poor R wave progression in prechordial leads, negative T waves V4-V6, DII, DIII and aVF, fragmented QRS…
Hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy presenting as heart failure exacerbation due to untreated primary hypoparathyroidism: a case report
Anno:
2024
INTRODUCTION: Hypocalcemic cardiomyopathy (HC) is a rare and potentially reversible cause of heart failure (HF). Primary hypoparathyroidism, due to accidental damage to the parathyroid glands during thyroid surgery, is one of the most common causes of hypocalcemia. Identifying this etiology is crucial. CASE REPORT: A 54 y.o. patient affected…
Unpredictable identification of a Titin mutation in a young patient presenting with inflammatory cardiomyopathy
Anno:
2024
Case presentation: A 23 years old patient, affected by type 1 diabetes, presented with fever, dyspnea and bilateral peripheral edemas. In the last week he received antibiotic treatment for a persistent dry cough and sore throat, and became symptomatic for exertional dyspnea from three days. His mother died at…
Coronary flow at rest and clinical outcomes in dilated cardiomyopathy
Anno:
2024
Background/Objectives: reduced coronary flow reserve (CFR) was described in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). To match increased metabolic demand from the myocardium, resting coronary flow (rCF) increases with CFR consumption. Whether an increased rCF causing a reduction of CFR is associated with worse clinical outcomes in DCM remains debated. RCF is…
