Characterization of Myocardial Injury With High-Sensitivity Troponin
CONCLUSION: Elevated hs-cTnI levels in emergency department and inpatient settings occurs most commonly because of type 2 myocardial infarction. Maximum hs-cTnI level is associated with the patient's particular type of myocardial injury, certain demographics, and cardiovascular comorbidities, and it may be a predictor of 30-day outcomes.PMID:38115713 | DOI:10.14503/THIJ-23-8108 (Source: Texas Heart Institute Journal)

Idiopathic Dilatation of the Right Atrium: Diagnosis and Management
This report presents the case of a 50-year-old woman with a significantly enlarged right atrium that was identified at birth; however, a definitive diagnosis was made later in life. The patient did not have any genetic diseases. Through the help of regular follow-up, anticoagulant therapy, previous radio-frequency ablation, and antiarrhythmic medications, she was able to carry a pregnancy to full term and live a regular life.PMID:38111176 | DOI:10.14503/THIJ-23-8192 (Source: Texas Heart Institute Journal)

Delayed Giant Pseudoaneurysm With Left-to-Right Shunt Following Postinfarct Ventricular Septal Perforation Repair
Tex Heart Inst J. 2023 Dec 6;50(6):e238269. doi: 10.14503/THIJ-23-8269.ABSTRACTLeft ventricular pseudoaneurysm with a left-to-right shunt is extremely rare, requiring surgery if symptomatic; however, surgery has a high risk. Here, the case of a 77-year-old man with heart failure symptoms is reported, in which he develops a giant left ventricular pseudoaneurysm 16 months after ventricular septal perforation repair as a result of acute myocardial infarction, with mild shunt blood flow from the pseudoaneurysm to the right ventricle. Intraoperative findings showed a free wall rupture along the area where the patch was secured ...
