Mashup Score: 0Atrial Fusocellular Sarcoma: An Uncommon Presentation - 1 year(s) ago
Cardiac tumors are an entity with low incidence. Classically they can be divided into nonneoplastic and neoplastic, with the latter further classified as primary and secondary.1,2 Patients with these masses may be asymptomatic or have symptoms related to tumor size and location. Often, these tumors are found incidentally during routine imaging with transthoracic (TTE), transesophageal…

Mashup Score: 7Stop the Madness: Mitral Annular Disjunction - 1 year(s) ago
Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is a structural abnormality described as the distinct separation between the mitral valve (MV) annulus, the left atrial wall, and the basal portion of the inferolateral left ventricular (LV) myocardium occurring during systole.1 Currently it is unclear if MAD is a degenerative, a congenital, or an acquired structural abnormality. Researchers suggest that this…

Mashup Score: 3Stress With Bubbles: Echocardiographic Visualization of a Typical Pathway Between the Spine and the Heart - 1 year(s) ago
Stress echocardiography is one of the established noninvasive methods to diagnose coronary artery disease.1 Basically, a distinction can be made between exercise stress echocardiography (e.g., bicycle stress) and pharmacological stress echocardiography (e.g., using dobutamine). Exercise stress is the preferred method for patients that can attain an adequate level of exercise. Exercise capacity is…

Mashup Score: 1Massive Left Ventricular Thrombus After ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction in a Young Man With Factor V Leiden - 1 year(s) ago
An increasing number of patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACSs) are young adults. A common complication following ACS is the development of left ventricular (LV) thrombus in the setting of Virchow’s triad. In this report, we present the case of a young patient with multiple risk factors for thrombosis found to have a massive LV thrombus following an acute anterior ST-segment elevation…

Mashup Score: 2
Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are rare primary cardiac tumors that arise from one of the cardiac valves.1 They comprise approximately 10% of all primary cardiac tumors.2 While the etiology is unknown, they are believed to occur in areas of endothelial damage.1 The most affected valves are the aortic (35%-63%) and mitral (9%-55%) valves, with involvement of the pulmonic valve occurring less than…

Mashup Score: 13A Tuberculosis Case Is Discovered to Be Carney Complex Instead! - 1 year(s) ago
Tuberculosis (TB) is a common diagnosis in developing countries and is a common cause of prolonged pyrexia and pleural effusion.1,2 Sometimes treatment for TB is offered rather empirically in a resource-constraint environment, and other times, cardiac myxoma is a well-documented cause of prolonged pyrexia and pyrexia of unknown origin.3 We describe a case of a patient with prolonged fever and…

Mashup Score: 4Primary Cardiac Lymphoma in a Patient With Well-Controlled Human Immunodeficiency Virus - 1 year(s) ago
Primary cardiac lymphoma (PCL) is defined as an extranodal lymphoma wherein the primary lesion arises from the heart. A minority of cardiac tumors are malignant, and only about 2% of those tumors are PCL.1 Here we present a case of B-cell PCL in a patient with well-controlled HIV. The objectives of this case are to highlight the role of multimodal imaging in establishing the diagnosis and…

Mashup Score: 6
Pericarditis, an inflammation of the pericardial sac, can be caused by infectious, autoimmune, metabolic, traumatic, iatrogenic, and drug-related entities.1,2 Not infrequently, the inflammatory process also involves the contiguous myocardium, with associated elevation in cardiac enzymes. In some instances, pericarditis is associated with constrictive pericarditis, the diagnosis of which can be…
