a 47-year-old man presented as a dyspnea and fatigue. a transthoracic echocardi-ography (tte) performed to assess valvar heart disease and left ventricular (lv) function showed a large hydatid cysts in the inter ventricular septum bulging to posterior of heart and compressing its overlying muscle as whitish round mass. the patient underwent elective surgery by evacuation of septal hydatid cysts...

echinococcus is endemic in some parts of the world but cardiac involvement with hydatid cyst is rare. here, we report a 55-year-old man who developed right ulnar fracture and was scheduled for surgery. during routine preoperative evaluation abnormal findings in ecg were found. in echocardiography, a large mass was detected in the inferior wall of the left ventricle. coronary angiography showed ...

cardiovascular disease remains the principal cause of death in the modernized world.   several novel noninvasive imaging techniques have been recently developed to improve diagnosis of cardiac and coronary disease.   of these advances, multidetector computed tomographic (mdct) angiography has evolved most dramatically to transform computed tomography from a single-slice trans-axial modality to ...

left ventricular free wall rupture is responsible for up to 10% of in-hospital deaths following myocardial infarction. it is mainly associated with posterolateral myocardial infarction, and its antemortem diagnosis is rarely made. one of the medical complications of myocardial infarction is the rupture of the free wall, which occurs more frequently in the anterolateral wall in hypertensives, wo...

abstract background: primary cardiac lymphoma is extremely rare. case report: in this care report, we present the case of a 46-year-old man with primary cardiac lymphoma involving left atrium and interatrial septum, presenting as dyspnea palpitation and irregular heart beat. the diagnosis was obtained by transthoracic echocardiography and surgical biopsy with subxiphoid approach which revealed ...

myxoid is a common type of liposarcoma. cardiac metastasis of sarcoma is a rare diagnosis. transthoracic echocardiography is a useful tool for beginning the diagnosis. curative resection of metastasis and then combination systemic chemotherapy for advanced disease is recommended. we report a 50 year old woman who presented with a cardiac metastasis of high grade round cell liposarcoma to right ...

Cardiac disorders remain one of the most important causes of death in the world. Oxidative stress has been suggested as one of the molecular mechanisms involved in drug-induced cardiac toxicity. Recently, several natural products have been utilized in different studies with the aim to protect the progression of oxidative stress-induced cardiac disorders. There is a large body of evidence that a...
