... pericardial area (Fig. 1). Transoesophageal echocardiography revealed a left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction of 35%, a severe mitral regurgitation, and a defect of the inferior LV wall suggesting an aneurysm. Computed tomography scanning demonstrated a giant calcified pseudoa- neurysm (66 mm × 106 mm × 87 mm) at the inferior surface of the LV (Fig. 2). Coronary angiography showed no atherosclerosis, but an occlusion of the distal branch of the posterior interventri- cular ...

A sinus of Valsalva aneurysm (SVA) is an abnormal dilation between the aortic valve annulus and sinotubular junction resulting from weakness in the elastic lamina. In the vast majority of cases, SVAs are asymptomatic and are incidentally detected on echocardiogram imaging. In some cases, they can rupture and lead to an intracardiac shunt. Sudden ru...
Disorders of lipoprotein metabolism have been linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) but the causal association is unclear. In this study, we investigated the causal association between disorders of lipoprotein metabolism and CVDs using two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR). The exposure was obtained from Finn genome-wide...
Objective
The aim of this study was to evaluate early clinical outcomes and echocardiographic measurements of the left ventricle in patients who underwent left ventricular aneurysm repair using two different techniques associated to myocardial revascularization.
Methods
Eighty-nine patients (74 males, 15 females; mean age 58±8.4 years; range: 41 t...
Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome is rarely associated with a right atrial aneurysm. However, when such a condition occurs, it will be hard to manage since pre-excitation will be induced as long as the aneurysm persists. A 14-year-old female patient received emergency treatment for irregular wide QRS complex tachycardia in our center, and a pre-excitat...
