Acute anterior myocardial infarction accompanying metastatic intracavitary colorectal carcinoma causing right ventricular outflow obstruction: a rare mixture
نویسندگان
چکیده
Colorectal cancer is the third and second most common cancer in men and women, respectively. Colorectal carcinoma metastasis to the right ventricle is so rarely reported, which is generally demonstrated in autopsies. Acute myocardial infarction could play a role in diagnosing colorectal cancer metastasis. Here we present a 53-year-old man who smoked, was diagnosed with schizophrenia, and experienced cardiopulmoAcute anterior myocardial infarction accompanying metastatic intracavitary colorectal carcinoma causing right ventricular outflow obstruction: a rare mixture

Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Mimicking Acute Anterior Myocardial Infarction Associated with Sudden Cardiac Death
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy is the most common genetic disease of the heart. We report a rare case of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy mimicking an acute anterior myocardial infarction associated with sudden cardiac death. The patient presented with acute ST elevation myocardial infarction and significant elevation of cardiac enzymes. Cardiac catheterization showed some atherosclerotic c...
متن کاملMyocardial damage of the entire ventricular region in a patient with acute myocardial infarction
Technetium-99m-pyrophosphate (99mTc-PYP) has been used, in combination with thallium-201, to estimate the site and extent of myocardial infarcts. We report a case of acute myocardial infarction with severe coronary disease in which the distribution of 99mTc-PYP was extensive. A 78-year-old man presented with dyspnea, and a diagnosis of non-ST-segment elevation acute myocar...
متن کاملRight ventricular metastatic tumor from a primary carcinoma of uterine cervix: A cause of pulmonary embolism
The presence of intracavitary cardiac metastasis from squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix is extremely rare. The diagnosis is made almost exclusively postmortem. Apart from causing intracardiac obstruction, it can present as pulmonary emboli and the prognosis is extremely poor. It is important to suspect this diagnosis in patient with recurrent pulmonary emboli. Due to the rarity of t...
متن کامل[Cardiogenic shock due to dynamic left ventricular outflow tract obstruction as a mechanical complication of acute myocardial infarction].
We report the clinical case of a 77-years-old woman with cardiogenic shock caused by dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction that appeared after anterior acute myocardial infarction. Dynamic LVOT obstruction has been reported in various circumstances aside from hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, such as acute myocardial infarction. In a patient with cardiogenic shock and...
متن کاملLeft Ventricular Metastasis From Renal Cell Carcinoma Causing Left Ventricular Outflow Tract Obstruction
Most cases of cardiac metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) involve the vena cava or right atrium. Left ventricular metastases from RCC without involving the vena cava or right atrium are extremely rare. Herein we report a case of RCC with left ventricular metastasis causing left ventricular outflow obstruction (LVOT).
