Mashup Score: 121A Tuberculosis Case Is Discovered to Be Carney Complex Instead! - 5 hour(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 pleural effusion who was on antitubercular therapy. Echocardiography refuted the working diagnosis and revealed multichamber myxoma; finally, a diagnosis of Carney complex was made.

Kawasaki disease (KD) is a systemic vasculitis that is predominantly a clinical diagnosis as defined by the American Heart Association. Kawasaki disease has become the most common cause of acquired heart disease in children due to a predilection for targeting the coronary arteries, with approximately 25% of untreated cases developing coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs). Although it is a self-limited diagnosis, early diagnosis and treatment is the key to reduce inflammation and potential for damage to the arterial wall with risk for developing coronary artery ectasia and CAAs.

Arterial tortuosity syndrome (ATS, OMIM no. 208050) is an extremely rare autosomal recessive connective tissue disorder caused by biallelic pathogenic variants that cause loss of function in the SLC2A10 gene and is characterized by widespread elongation and tortuosity of medium- and large-sized arteries that place patients at risk for stenoses and aneurysm formation.1 Prenatal detection of ATS remains extremely rare. To date, just over 100 patients have been reported with ATS, with only a few prenatally detected cases described in the literature.

Mashup Score: 62Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation Leads to Underestimation of the Severity of Mitral Stenosis by Doppler - 1 month(s) ago
Rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS) is a progressive cardiac disease characterized by the obstruction of blood flow through the mitral valve (MV).1 Echocardiography is crucial for assessing the severity of MS. Low flow through the MV can lead to the underestimation of MS severity by echocardiographic methods.2 Here, we present a case illustrating the underestimation of MS severity due to severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR).

Mitral valve (MV) repair is the guideline-directed, optimal treatment for severe degenerative mitral regurgitation (MR) and often includes the placement of a complete mitral annuloplasty (MA) ring or band (partial ring).1 Recurrent MR occurs in approximately 10% of cases after MV repair.2 Redo MV surgery for recurrent severe MR after MV repair can be high risk.3-5 Mitral valve transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (m-TEER) has been reported to be a successful therapy for recurrent severe MR after MA.

Mashup Score: 57Interventional Echocardiography-Guided Transcatheter Edge-to-Edge Interscallop Repair of the Mitral Valve - 2 month(s) ago
In the usual transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) of the mitral valve (MV), a device (MitraClip, Abbott Vascular; or Pascal, Edwards Lifesciences Corp.) is positioned perpendicular to the coaptation line between the anterior and posterior MV leaflets, and then a portion of the 2 leaflets is connected together with the device. In this unique case, however, mitral regurgitation (MR) was due to a deep interscallop defect located between the middle (P2) and medial (P3) scallops of the posterior MV leaflet and the flail segment did not face the coaptation line.
