EXPRESS: Magnetic resonance imaging for diagnostic workup of Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source: a systematic review
CONCLUSION: MRI techniques allow to identify additional cardiac and vascular embolic sources and may further decrease the prevalence of patients with the diagnosis of ESUS.PMID:37435743 | DOI:10.1177/17474930231189946

Role of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging and cardiopulmonary exercise test in predicting composite clinical outcomes in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
by Ji-won Hwang, Sang-Chol Lee, Darae Kim, Jihoon Kim, Eun Kyoung Kim, Sung-A. Chang, Sung-Ji Park, Sung Mok Kim, Yeon Hyeon Choe, Seung Woo Park We aimed to evaluate the additive value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) and cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) to predict clinical outcomes in patients with HCM. We enrolled 373 patients with HCM and normal left ventricular systolic function who underwent CPET and CMR. The pri mary outcome was a clinical composite of all-cause death, cardiac transplantation, stroke, heart failure requiring hospitalization and defibrillator implantation. During a follow-up of...

Atrial cardiomyopathy: from cell to bedside
AbstractAtrial cardiomyopathy refers to structural and electrical remodelling of the atria, which can lead to impaired mechanical function. While historical studies have implicated atrial fibrillation as the leading cause of cardioembolic stroke, atrial cardiomyopathy may be an important, underestimated contributor. To date, the relationship between atrial cardiomyopathy, atrial fibrillation, and cardioembolic stroke remains obscure. This review summarizes the pathogenesis of atrial cardiomyopathy, with a special focus on neurohormonal and inflammatory mechanisms, as well as the role of adipose tissue, especially epicardia...

Blunted cardiovascular effects of beta-blockers in patients with cirrhosis: Relation to severity?
ConclusionWe found the effect of beta-blockade on cardiac index in patients with advanced cirrhosis to be less potent than in patients with early cirrhosis, indicating that underlying cirrhotic cardiomyopathy increases, and the cardiac compensatory reserve becomes more compromised, with disease progression. The differential effects of beta-blockade in the left atrium may be used to predict the effect of beta-blockers on portal pressure, but further studies are needed to investigate this possibility.

Fabry Disease with Aseptic Meningitis: A Case Series and Literature Review of an Underestimated Clinical Presentation
ConclusionOur cases suggested that aseptic meningitis in FD might be under-detected and easily misdiagnosed, and should be more thoroughly examined in further cases.

Progressive Ataxia and Downbeat Nystagmus in an Adult
A 63-year-old man presented with a history of vomiting, hypertension, dyslipidemia, type 2 diabetes, dilated ischemic cardiomyopathy, alcohol use, and stroke; physical examination found appendicular dysmetria with truncal ataxia and downbeat nystagmus. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed a hyperintensity on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery sequences without reduced diffusion in the cerebellar nodule. What is your diagnosis?

Multiple Strokes in a Latin American Patient
We present a case of a recent immigrant from El Salvador without past medical history who presented to our hospital with symptoms concerning for acute stroke. Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with gadolinium confirmed an acute stroke along with multiple prior infarcts involving different vascular beds. Head magnetic resonance arteriogram did not reveal any occlusions/stenosis or aneurysmal changes. His subsequent extensive evaluation included an electrocardiogram (ECG) that revealed bifascicular block and echocardiography that suggested an apical aneurysm, but images were limited to assess. To further assess the like...

Modification of ventriculo –arterial coupling by spironolactone in nonischemic dilated cardiomyopathy
ConclusionsIn NIDCM, adding MRA to conventional anti ‐failure therapy markedly improved LV ejection fraction and reduced peripheral vascular resistance, due to both improved LV contractility and especially to enhanced V–A coupling, as Ea decreased to normal. Total circulatory performance was a sensitive indicator of both LV pump performance and th e arterial loading conditions.

Management and outcomes of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in young adults
CONCLUSIONS: In young adults with HCM, MACE are common in the short term, especially in obstructive HCM and women, mostly arrhythmic in origin. Prophylactic ICD implantation is frequent and does not strictly follow the guidelines, while the use of European/USA guidelines is helpful but imperfect in identifying SCD risk.PMID:33744178 | DOI:10.1016/j.acvd.2020.12.006
