George Katis, Benedict Wiles, Magdi M. Saba
This case report highlights the importance of recognizing that ventricular ectopy may be a cause for syncope and sudden cardiac death, through triggered disorganized arrhythmia. In the context of syncope, ventricular ectopy should be carefully assessed for coupling interval and morphology.
A 39-year-old woman, who had presented with recurrent syncope, had a cardiac arrest shortly after admission ...... hiện toàn bộ

Closure of all haemodynamically significant atrial septal defects (ASDs) is recommended irrespective of symptoms. Percutaneous device closure offers a favourable alternative to surgery with lower morbidity, shorter duration of hospital stays, and avoidance of a surgical scar.

We present the case of a 50-year-old male active drug-abuser admitted for native PV endocarditis with huge and mobile vegetations and a concomitant interstitial SARS-Cov2 pneumonia. Surgical timing was carefully evaluated, and the patient was f...... hiện toàn bộ
