    الوصف: A 40-day-old baby presented with tachypnoea, failure to thrive without cyanosis. His pulse rate was 150/min and respiration rate was 66/min with a normal capillary filling time. The cardiac examination revealed a loud, continuous murmur at the left second/third intercostal places. Electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia and chest X-ray showed increased pulmonary blood flow with cardiomegaly. A …

    الوصف: A 48-year-old man presented to a neighbouring cardiology unit with epigastric pain sensation. Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) was suggested by laboratory parameters for myocardial infarction and electrocardiogram showing ST-segment elevation in the inferior and lateral leads ( Panel G ). Emergency coronary angiogram revealed a subtotal occlusion of the posterolateral branch …

    الوصف: A 71-year-old woman with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation underwent transoesophageal echocardiography for evaluation of thrombus prior to atrial fibrillation ablation therapy. Transoesophageal echocardiographic images showed no thrombus but demonstrated an echo-free space adjacent to the right ventricle suggestive of a small pericardial effusion ( Figure 1A ; see Supplementary data online, Movie S1 ). Real-time three-dimensional transoesophageal echocardiographic images of the right ventricle were also suggestive of pericardial …

    الوصف: A 74-year-old man was referred for mitral valve surgery of symptomatic (weakness and fatigue) prolapse-related mitral regurgitation. He had a past medical history of hypertension, dyslipidaemia, and overweight. His initial evaluation consisted in transthoracic echocardiography which documented the presence of severe mitral regurgitation due to posterior leaflet prolapse ( Panels A and B ; see Supplementary data online, Movie S1 …

    الوصف: Intrapericardial organized haematoma secondary to blunt chest trauma is an extremely rare cause of constrictive pericarditis. We report a 30-year-old male who presented with heart failure for 12 months and was found to have an organized intrapericardial haematoma secondary to blunt chest trauma in a road traffic accident 2 years prior. The use of multiple imaging modalities including two-dimensional (transthoracic and transoesophageal) echocardiogram and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging established the diagnosis. Surgical excision of the haematoma and removal of the constricting pericardium relieved his symptoms.

    الوصف: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is diagnosed on the basis of left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy for which there is insufficient explanation (e.g. mild hypertension or mild aortic stenosis with marked hypertrophy). Echocardiography is an invaluable tool in the diagnosis and follow-up of patients with HCM. Echocardiographic assessment requires a comprehensive assessment in several imaging planes with careful attention to correct beam alignment in order to minimize errors in the measurement of LV wall thickness and appropriate identification of hypertrophy with an unusual distribution.

    الوصف: Sixty-three-year-old male patient. Previous history of rheumatic valvular disease. He underwent multiple mitral and aortic valve replacements. Nowadays, he presents a periprosthetic mitral leak. He underwent a leak closure by using a percutaneous approach. During the procedure, the superiority of 3D TEE over 2D TEE was confirmed for wires and device positioning, excluding interference with the prosthesis discs and evaluating the residual periprosthetic regurgitation.

    الوصف: A 64-year-old female presented with biventricular heart failure. Echocardiography revealed features suggestive of amyloidosis, including segmental impairment of longitudinal strain (rate) in the septal and anterior segments, which matched delayed gadolinium-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance. Guided endomyocardial biopsy confirmed the presence of perivascular amyloid deposits. Tissue Doppler and gadolinium-enhanced magnetic resonance may be helpful in delineating cardiac amyloidosis.

    الوصف: We report the case of a patient with ischaemic cardiomyopathy who was admitted to our hospital for an echocardiographic follow-up a few days after the implantation of a biventricular pacemaker/defibrillator. Transthoracic echocardiographic examination revealed an immobile echogenic mass attached to the left atrial side of the fossa ovalis which was not present a month before the biventricular pacemaker implantation. Because the images of the pre-operative echocardiogram were not available at the time of the examination, the differential diagnosis included a tumour or a thrombus formed on the left side of intra-atrial septum. The use of low myocardial infarction contrast echocardiography and power Doppler clarified the lack of microcirculation and blood flow within the mass, respectively, and confirmed the diagnosis of thrombus. After an episode acute renal failure, the thrombus was absent at a follow-up echocardiogram presumably because of peripheral embolization.

    الوصف: Cardiac metastatic squamous cell laryngeal carcinoma is rare. We report the case of a 49-year-old man with recurrent squamous laryngeal carcinoma presenting with right leg acute ischaemia and large mobile right and left cardiac masses. The patient has history of laryngeal squamous cell cancer surgically treated with total laryngectomy, thyroidectomy, and tracheostomy 2 years ago. He was admitted to our intensive care unit with acute right leg pain, left sided chest pain, hypotension 92/55, and tachycardia 112 bpm. On physical exam, he had a faint pulse of his right Posterior Tibial artery with a cold foot, but no discoloration. Heart sounds were normal with no murmur. Initial workup showed a Troponin of 0.27. An electrocardiogram showed sinus tachycardia, with inverted T waves in the Infero-lateral leads. Emergent surgical thrombectomy was done on his right leg with restoration of arterial blood flow to the affected limb. An echocardiogram showed a preserved left ventricular function with multiple areas of echogenic masses in all four cardiac chambers located at the annulus of the tricuspid valve, the right ventricular free wall and along the inter-ventricular septum. No intracardiac shunt was detected by contrast study. Computed tomography scan of the heart confirmed the presence of multiple exophytic intracardiac masses within the left atrium, the right ventricle, interventricular septum, and lateral free wall of the left ventricle. Immunohistochemical staining with cytokeratin of the emboli was consistent with malignant squamous cell carcinoma consistent with metastases of his known laryngeal squamous cell cancer.
