The present case report highlights about Toxic or septic myocarditis in a patient suffering from aplastic anemia. A 21 years old female patient, without any cardiovascular risk factor, suffering from Aplastic Anemia, admitted initially for feverish neutropenia for which she recei...
Acute myocardial infarction is usually seen in the setting of atherosclerosis and its associated risk factors. One of the rare causes of AMI in young patients is polycythemia vera. We report the case of 38-year-old male with a history of tobacco use, who presented with constricti...
Background: Association of pulmonary embolism and pericardial effusion is rarely described in the literature, it is associated in the majority of cases with a neoplastic origin followed by a tuberculous origin. Within the limits of our research, no cases of lupus associated with...
Introduction: Right-sided infective endocarditis (IE) accounts for 5-10% of all cases of IE. Compared with left sided IE and the association of right heart endocarditis with ventricular septal defect in adults is rare but may have serious complications such as pulmonary embolism....

Background/ Objective of Study: Cardiovascular diseases continue to be the main cause of morbidity and mortality. Aging is an important modifier of cardiovascular health. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study evaluated the lipid profile levels of older adults in Nnewi...
Pulmonary aneurysms are rare abnormalities of the pulmonary vessels that are often associated with pulmonary hypertension. However, the occurrence and treatment of this pathology are still unclear. A 33-year-old patient with a medical history of transcutaneous mitral commissuroto...
Background: Ischemic heart disease (IHD), a form of coronary artery disease(CAD), is one of the many cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) whose prevalence has reached epidemic proportions. The initial symptom of coronary artery disease is the development of atherosclerotic plaques in t...
Takayasu arteritis does contribute to numbers in some specific geographic areas, while atherosclerosis is the most common cause of carotid artery disease. Carotid artery circulation may become complicated by conditions of severe forms. Bilateral or unilateral internal carotid art...
Hypothyroidismis a common disorder that affects multiple organs, we report on a case of primary hypothyroidism with cardiactamponade in a 50-year-old man who presented with dyspnea. A bedside echocardiogram revealed Tamponade; pericardiocentesis was performed, two liters of yello...
Learning Objective: Following a non-revascularized myocardial infarction, a rare complication can occur: free wall rupture. It's important to keep an eye out for this diagnosis when concomitant pericardial effusion is present, even if the patient appears stable initially. We stre...
Background: Pacemaker (PM) devices are increasingly used to treat cardiac conduction abnomality especially in elderly population. Twiddler syndrome (TS) in PM patients is a condition where patient manipulation of a pacemaker leads to its retraction and dysfunction. TS can be extr...
Iatrogenic coronary dissection is a mechanical rupture of a coronary wall during coronary angiography or angioplasty. It is a rare but serious complication that can rapidly lead to the death of the patient. We report the case of a young 35 year old patient with only active smokin...
