the left ventricular aneurysm is one of the most significant complications of myocardial infarction and is defined as the expansion of the ventricular wall. the coronary artery aneurysm is characterized by an abnormal dilation of the localized portion of the coronary artery, and its main cause is atherosclerosis. we herein report an unusual case of coronary artery and left ventricular aneurysms...

Left-ventricular non-compaction is a myocardial disease of the left ventricle, characterized by exces¬sive trabeculations. The diagnosis relies based on echocardiography and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We report case 23-years-old patient diagnosed for ventricular non compaction revealed sinus node dysfunction. This underlines importance using multimodality imaging approach to enable qui...

BackgroundIncreased metabolic rate of hyperglycemia in gestational diabetes causes macrosomia, which can also affect the fetal heart. The thickness of the walls of the heart and its function in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) can change over time before treatment. We aimed to evaluate fetal cardiac structure in terms of ventricular wall thickness and its function in women w...

background: cardiac dysfunction due to chronic anemia and hemosiderosis are the major causes of death among patients with thalassemia intermedia. this study was performed to compare the cardiac function in thalassemia intermedia patients with normal subjects by means of echocardiography. materials and methods: this was a case-control study performed on 22 patients affected by thalassemia interm...
