Sustained monomorphic ventricular tachycardia (VT) in patients with heart disease is usually due to reentry involving a region of myocardial scar. Most commonly, the scar is due to prior myocardial infarction and associated with significantly depressed left ventricular function. Scars create a very stable substrate for VT, such that up to 70% of patients who present with sustained monomorphic V...

1. Fine line scars: Surgical scars 2. Wide (stretched) scars: These develop when fine line surgical scars gradually become stretched and widened. They are typically flat, pale, soft, symptomless scars. Abdominal striae of pregnancy can be considered as variants of these. 3. Atrophic scars: These are flat or depressed below the surrounding skin. They are generally small and often round with an i...

BACKGROUND The segmental relationship between cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) peak circumferential strain (Ecc) and myocardial scar has not been well characterized in Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD), and it is unknown whether echocardiography accurately measures Ecc in DMD. We assessed segmental Ecc and scar using CMR with myocardial tissue tagging and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE...

The dominant opinion is that after correct diagnosis and resolution of the odontogenic source of infection, the extraoral fistula will disappear spontaneously without the need for any surgical intervention.[4] This concept is almost always true; however, in our practice, we have confronted with two cases that need to local skin flaps for solving the problem of depressed scar on the face several...
