Unraveling the Uncommon: A Case Report of Giant Cell Myocarditis and Examination of Existing Literature - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38431769/
BACKGROUND Idiopathic giant cell myocarditis (IGCM) is an uncommon and frequently fatal type of myocarditis. It primarily affects young individuals and has the potential to result in heart failure and...
A 65-year-old woman with refractory heart failure was diagnosed with idiopathic giant cell myocarditis (IGCM) after biopsy. Despite immunosuppressive treatment and ICD placement, she ultimately died due to disease complications.
Misdiagnosis of Chronic Heart Failure in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus in Primary Care: A Report of Two Cases and Literature Review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39512547/
The coexistence of heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is common and poses a serious threat to human health because these diseases have a high degree of...
Coexistence of heart failure (HF) and type 2 diabetes (T2DM) is common but challenging to diagnose in primary care. Overlapping symptoms, like breathlessness and leg edema, complicate accurate HFpEF diagnosis and management.
Balloon valvuloplasty for annular- and leaflet-level tricuspid stenosis: Report of cases and literature review - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38224293/
Congenital tricuspid valve stenosis is extremely rare. We describe 2 cases of patients with adult congenital heart disease with hypoplastic tricuspid valve annulus who were symptomatic from annular- and leaflet-level...
Two adult congenital heart disease patients with hypoplastic tricuspid valve annulus and stenosis underwent successful transcatheter balloon valvuloplasty, offering a reasonable first-line treatment or bridge to valve replacement.

This case report describes an 11-month-old girl with a blood-filled cyst on the pulmonary valve, successfully treated. It highlights the need for further research on diagnosis and treatment in pediatric patients.
Advanced Cardiac Patches for the Treatment of Myocardial Infarction - PubMed
Source : https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/38885303/
Myocardial infarction is a cardiovascular disease characterized by a high incidence rate and mortality. It leads to various cardiac pathophysiological changes, including ischemia/reperfusion injury, inflammation, fibrosis, and ventricular remodeling, which...
Cardiac patches, using advanced scaffolds and delivery strategies, show promise for treating myocardial infarction by addressing ischemia, inflammation, and fibrosis, promoting cardiac repair, and overcoming limitations of current therapies.
