Adolescent Idiopathic Scoliosis (AIS) is the most common form of Idiopathic Scoliosis (IS) with a prevalence of 3% 5.2% among children [1]. Disease progression and sequelae depend on the location, severity, and rate of progression of the curve. Curves tend to progress most rapidly during growth phases [1,2]. Treatments and are focused on early bracing to stem curve progression and surgical curv...

Introduction: Differentiating between ischemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) and idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM) is important as coronary revascularization can improve prognosis in the ischemic subgroup.
