Dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) has been widely used as a diagnostic and prognostic modality in the management of stress. DSE is associated with limited complications and adverse effects on the health of patients. In this case report, we described a 42-year-old female patient with dobutamine-induced coronary artery spasm with history of exertional dyspnea, which had deteriorated recent...

in this paper, we describe a case of an aneurysmal circumflex artery connected to the coronary sinus through a fistula in a 40-year-old man with a two-year history of palpitation and chest pain. we discussed surgical management for patients with coronary artery fistula (caf), particularly for asymptomatic patients with a small left-to-right shunt .

iatrogenic dissections of the ascending aorta are an uncommon and severe complication during cardiac catheterization. a 68-year-old female patient underwent diagnostic cardiac catheterization due to non-st-elevation myocardial infarction. during the procedure, a catheter-induced 360 • class i dissection of the right coronary artery occurred. the patient developed severe bradycardia, which was t...

arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia/cardiomyopathy (arvd/c) is a congenital cardiac disease with myocardial involvement, most probably right ventricular (rv) dysfunction, accounting for 20% of sudden cardiac deaths. characterized by the fibro-fatty infiltration of the rv free wall, arvd/c presents in adolescents with ventricular arrhythmias and heart failure symptoms and as biventricular...

familial hypercholesterolemia (fh) is a hereditary dislipidemia. patients present with extremely high level of low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (ldl-c), which is due to mutation in the gene of ldl receptor. homozygous patients (hofh) whose incidence is 1 in 1.000.000 are at high risk of premature aortic valve stenosis, and coronary artery atherosclerosis. in homozygous individuals cardiovasc...
