Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a type of chronic inflammation that is most prevalent in young adults and is characterized by an inflammatory enthesiopathy that gradually develops toward ossification and ankylosis. If inflammation is left unchecked, it can potentially lead to complications such as secondary amyloidosis, also known as AA amyloidosis, involving the deposition of amyloid serum A protein. Our case presents with a thyroid localization of AA amyloidosis which is secondary to this AS. Such a case has been described in only four cases in the literature. Cardiac localization of AA amyloidosis has been exceptionally described in the literature. We report the case of a young patient with severe AS complicated by secondary amyloidosis with thyroid, cardiac, and probably renal localization. He was treated with anti-TNF therapy, and his condition improved significantly. Our case presents several localizations of AA amyloidosis secondary to this AS. Although cardiac involvement is rare in secondary AA amyloidosis, it should always be screened for, even in a cardiacly asymptomatic patient.
强直性脊柱炎(AS)是一种慢性炎症,多发于青壮年,其特点是炎症性强直,逐渐发展为骨化和强直。如果炎症得不到控制,有可能导致并发症,如继发性淀粉样变性,也称为 AA 淀粉样变性,涉及淀粉样血清 A 蛋白的沉积。我们的病例是继发于这种强直性脊柱炎的甲状腺局部 AA 淀粉样变性。此类病例在文献中仅有四例。AA淀粉样变性的心脏局部病变在文献中鲜有描述。我们报告了一例年轻的重症强直性脊柱炎并发继发性淀粉样变性的病例,该病有甲状腺、心脏和可能的肾脏定位。他接受了抗肿瘤坏死因子治疗,病情明显好转。我们的病例显示了继发于这种强直性脊柱炎的 AA 淀粉样变性的几种定位。虽然心脏受累在继发性AA淀粉样变性中很少见,但即使是心脏无症状的患者也应进行筛查。

Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) is a metabolic disorder that detrimentally affects multiple systems in the body, with a particular emphasis on the vascular and nervous systems. Despite its significant impact, limited studies have explored the influence of this condition on the left atrial (LA) function. To address this gap, our study utilized speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) to assess LA function in patients with T2DM in Central Vietnam. The cross-sectional comparative study enrolled 134 subjects involving 66 patients with T2DM and 68 healthy individuals meeting the selection and exclusion criteria of the study. In our study, healthy individuals demonstrated higher values for LA reservoir strain (LASr), LA conduit strain (LAScd), and LA contractile strain (LASct), measuring 38.75% ± 5.43%, 19.58% ± 5.91%, and 19.16% ± 4.98%, respectively. In contrast, the T2DM group exhibited lower values for LASr, LAScd, and LASct, which measured 31.2% ± 4.56%, 14.77% ± 6.3%, and 16.36% ± 4.82%, respectively (p < 0.05). T2DM patients with normal LA volume index (LAVI) and normal left ventricular mass index (LVMI), LASr, LAScd, and LASct results were 32.07% ± 5.28%, 16.28% ± 6.95%, and 15.64% ± 5.32%. respectively. STE of the LA reveals a noteworthy reduction in reservoir, conduit, and contractile functions within the T2DM group when compared to the control group (p < 0.05). Furthermore, these impaired functions persist in T2DM patients even in the absence of increased LAVI and LVMI.
2 型糖尿病(T2DM)是一种代谢性疾病,对人体的多个系统都有不利影响,尤其是血管和神经系统。尽管其影响重大,但探讨这种疾病对左心房(LA)功能影响的研究却很有限。为了填补这一空白,我们的研究采用斑点追踪超声心动图(STE)来评估越南中部 T2DM 患者的 LA 功能。这项横断面比较研究共纳入 134 名受试者,其中 66 名 T2DM 患者和 68 名健康人符合研究的选择和排除标准。在我们的研究中,健康人的 LA 储库应变(LASr)、LA 导管应变(LAScd)和 LA 收缩应变(LASct)值较高,分别为 38.75% ± 5.43%、19.58% ± 5.91% 和 19.16% ± 4.98%。相比之下,T2DM 组的 LASr、LAScd 和 LASct 值较低,分别为 31.2% ± 4.56%、14.77% ± 6.3% 和 16.36% ± 4.82%(P < 0.05)。LA容积指数(LAVI)和左心室质量指数(LVMI)正常的T2DM患者的LASr、LAScd和LASct结果分别为(32.07%±5.28%)、(16.28%±6.95%)和(15.64%±5.32%)。LA STE 显示,与对照组相比,T2DM 组的储库、导管和收缩功能明显降低(P < 0.05)。此外,即使在 LAVI 和 LVMI 没有增加的情况下,T2DM 患者的这些功能也会持续受损。

Nowadays, percutaneous procedures are expanding in use, and this comes with complications associated with the procedure itself. Cardiac tamponade is rare but may be life threatening since it can involve hemodynamic instability. It is known that after pleural effusion during a percutaneous procedure, pericardiocentesis should be used as drainage of the cavity. However, that does not achieve hemostasis in some cases, and in those patients who are hemodynamically unstable, a sealing agent to promote hemostasis might be useful, like thrombin. We present a case report of 89-year-old patient with history of melanoma undergoing treatment with pembrolizumab, who attended the emergency department referring chest pain (intensity 5/10) and palpitations that have lasted hours. He had TnTUs 554/566 ng/L and an echocardiogram that showed dilated right chambers, hypertrophy and global hypokinesia of the left ventricle, increased filling pressures of the left ventricle and pulmonary hypertension. Myocarditis associated with pembrolizumab was suspected, so high dose steroids were initiated and endomyocardial biopsy was conducted, resulting in iatrogenic cardiac tamponade. To determine the etiology of the suspected myocarditis, an endomyocardial biopsy was performed. Unfortunately, an intraprocedural complication arose: pleural effusion resulting in iatrogenic cardiac tamponade, leading to hemodynamic instability. It required immediate pericardial drainage via subxiphoid puncture, obtaining a 550 mL hematic debit. Clinical manifestations raised suspicion of tamponade, prompting a bedside echocardiogram for a definitive diagnosis. Despite these efforts, the patient remained hemodynamically unstable, and due to the elevated surgical risk, intrapericardial thrombin was employed to achieve successful hemostasis. Cardiac tamponade is a life-threatening condition that can sometimes be induced iatrogenically, resulting from percutaneous interventions. Despite limited evidence regarding this therapeutic strategy, in patients experiencing iatrogenic cardiac tamponade with hemodynamic instability and high surgical risk, the administration of intra-pericardial thrombin could be contemplated.
如今,经皮手术的使用范围不断扩大,同时也带来了与手术本身相关的并发症。心脏填塞虽然罕见,但可能危及生命,因为它会导致血流动力学不稳定。众所周知,在经皮手术过程中出现胸腔积液后,应采用心包穿刺术作为腔内引流。然而,在某些情况下这并不能达到止血的目的,对于那些血流动力学不稳定的患者来说,一种促进止血的封闭剂(如凝血酶)可能是有用的。我们报告了一例 89 岁患者的病例,该患者有黑色素瘤病史,正在接受 pembrolizumab 治疗。他的 TnTU 值为 554/566 纳克/升,超声心动图显示右心室扩张、左心室肥大和整体运动减弱、左心室充盈压升高和肺动脉高压。怀疑心肌炎与彭博利珠单抗有关,因此开始使用大剂量类固醇,并进行了心内膜活检,结果导致先天性心脏填塞。为了确定疑似心肌炎的病因,进行了心内膜活检。不幸的是,手术中出现了并发症:胸腔积液造成先天性心脏填塞,导致血流动力学不稳定。需要立即通过剑突下穿刺进行心包引流,获得550毫升的血液。临床表现引起了对心脏填塞的怀疑,因此需要进行床旁超声心动图检查以明确诊断。尽管做了这些努力,但患者的血流动力学仍然不稳定,由于手术风险较高,为了成功止血,患者使用了心包内凝血酶。心脏填塞是一种危及生命的病症,有时可因经皮介入治疗而诱发。尽管有关这种治疗策略的证据有限,但对于血流动力学不稳定、手术风险高的先天性心脏填塞患者,可以考虑使用心包内凝血酶。

Unraveling myeloperoxidase’s (MPO) correlation with coronary artery disease (CAD) and genetic variations, this study seeks to enhance diagnostic precision and therapeutic strategies. CAD patients were found to be older and more male than controls. Several clinical parameters, including glucose, total bilirubin, alkaline phosphatase, creatinine, and troponin levels, showed significant variations. Moreover, CAD patients had lower red cell distribution width (RDW%) and mean platelet volume (MPV) than controls. Serum MPO levels did not differ significantly between CAD patients and controls, and no correlation was found with other clinical parameters except for glucose, creatinine, and total bilirubin. The data suggest that serum MPO levels are not substantially related to CAD patients, as indicated by lower MPO levels in CAD patients compared to controls. While highlighting the potential of MPV and RDW% as predictors of severe atherosclerosis in CAD. Further research is needed to validate the diagnostic and prognostic value of RDW%, MPV, and MPO levels in CAD. Trial registration: 15092021-9-12. Registered 15 September 2021.
本研究揭示了髓过氧化物酶(MPO)与冠状动脉疾病(CAD)和基因变异的相关性,旨在提高诊断的精确性和治疗策略。研究发现,与对照组相比,CAD 患者年龄更大,男性更多。一些临床参数,包括血糖、总胆红素、碱性磷酸酶、肌酐和肌钙蛋白水平,都出现了显著变化。此外,与对照组相比,CAD 患者的红细胞分布宽度(RDW%)和平均血小板体积(MPV)较低。除血糖、肌酐和总胆红素外,血清 MPO 水平与其他临床指标无明显相关性。数据表明,与对照组相比,CAD 患者的 MPO 水平较低,这表明血清 MPO 水平与 CAD 患者没有实质性关系。这凸显了 MPV 和 RDW% 作为 CAD 严重动脉粥样硬化预测指标的潜力。要验证 RDW%、MPV 和 MPO 水平在 CAD 中的诊断和预后价值,还需要进一步的研究。试验注册:15092021-9-12.注册日期:2021 年 9 月 15 日。

Systemic-to-pulmonary artery shunt (SPAS) is a rare condition that can occur as a result of congenital heart disease or chronic pulmonary inflammation, occasionally leading to life-threatening hemoptysis. Computed tomography (CT) imaging is crucial in the diagnosis of SPAS, and the optimal management approach for SPAS remains uncertain. This case report presents a novel approach to the treatment of SPAS, consisting of transcatheter arterial embolization of the systemic artery followed by lung segmentectomy. A 42-year-old man with abnormal chest findings was referred to us and a diagnosis of SPAS was established based on the CT findings showing a blood flow regurgitation from the dilated left 4th intercostal artery to the Lt. A6. The patient was asymptomatic but we decided to treat him to prevent a risk of future hemoptysis. Transcatheter arterial embolization (TAE) of systemic arteries followed by S6 segmentectomy was successfully performed with minimal blood loss and complete removal of the dilated intra-pulmonary blood vessels. Histological analysis confirmed the diagnosis of SPAS. We reported a case of SPAS, who was successfully treated with the combination of TAE and subsequent segmentectomy. The blood loss during surgery was minimal and this strategy appeared to minimize future recanalization and hemoptysis. Further studies and long-term follow-up of SPAS patients are required to establish standardized management guidelines for this rare condition.
全身-肺动脉分流(SPAS)是一种罕见的疾病,可因先天性心脏病或慢性肺部炎症而发生,偶尔会导致危及生命的咯血。计算机断层扫描(CT)成像是诊断 SPAS 的关键,而 SPAS 的最佳治疗方法仍不确定。本病例报告介绍了一种治疗 SPAS 的新方法,即经导管动脉栓塞系统动脉,然后进行肺段切除术。一名 42 岁的男子因胸部检查结果异常转诊至我院,CT 结果显示扩张的左侧第 4 肋间动脉血流倒流至中轴 A6,因此确诊为 SPAS。患者没有任何症状,但我们决定对他进行治疗,以防止未来发生咯血的风险。经导管动脉栓塞术(TAE)对全身动脉进行栓塞,然后进行S6段切除术,手术成功,失血量极少,并完全切除了扩张的肺内血管。组织学分析证实了 SPAS 的诊断。我们报告了一例 SPAS 病例,该患者成功接受了 TAE 和随后的肺段切除术。手术中的失血量极少,而且这种策略似乎能最大限度地减少未来的再狭窄和咯血。我们需要对 SPAS 患者进行进一步研究和长期随访,以便为这种罕见病制定标准化的治疗指南。

The left ventricular assist devices (LVADs) are increasingly used for advanced heart failure as a bridge to heart transplantation or as a destination therapy. The aim of this study was to investigate the changes of diastolic pulmonary gradient (DPG), pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR) and transpulmonary gradient (TPG) after LVAD implantation and their impact on survival after LVAD and heart transplantation. A total of 73 patients who underwent LVAD (HeartMate III) implantation between 2016 and 2022 were retrospectively studied. According to pre-LVAD catheterization, 49 (67.1%) patients had DPG < 7 mmHg and 24 (32.9%) patients had DPG ≥ 7 mmHg. The patients with a pre-VAD DPG ≥ 7 mmHg had higher frequencies of right ventricular (RV) failure (p < 0.001), RVAD insertion (p < 0.001), need for renal replacement therapy (p = 0.002), total mortality (p = 0.036) and on-VAD mortality (p = 0.04) with a longer ICU stay (p = 0.001) compared to the patients with DPG < 7 mmHg. During the follow-up period of 38 (12–60) months, 24 (32.9%) patients died. Pre-LVAD DPG ≥ 7 mmHg (adjusted HR 1.83, 95% CI 1.21–6.341, p = 0.039) and post-LVAD DPG ≥ 7 mmHg (adjusted HR 3.824, 95% CI 1.482–14.648, p = 0.002) were associated with increased risks of mortality. Neither pre-LVAD TPG ≥ 12 (p = 0.505) nor post-LVAD TPG ≥ 12 mmHg (p = 0.122) was associated with an increased risk of death. Pre-LVAD PVR ≥ 3 WU had a statistically insignificant risk of mortality (HR 2.35, 95% CI 0.803–6.848, p = 0.119) while post-LVAD PVR ≥ 3 WU had an increased risk of death (adjusted HR 2.37, 95% CI 1.241–7.254, p = 0.038). For post-transplantation mortality, post-LVAD DPG ≥ 7 mmHg (p = 0.55), post-LVAD TPG ≥ 12 mmHg (p = 0.85) and PVR ≥ 3 WU (p = 0.54) did not have statistically increased risks. The logistic multivariable regression showed that post-LVAD PVR ≥ 3 WU (p = 0.013), post-LVAD DPG ≥ 7 mmHg (p = 0.026) and RVF (p = 0.018) were the predictors of mortality after LVAD implantation. Pre-LVAD DPG ≥ 7 mmHg (p < 0.001) and pre-LVAD PVR ≥ 3 WU (p = 0.036) were the predictors of RVF after LVAD implantation. Persistently high DPG was associated with right ventricular failure and mortality after LVAD implantation rather than after heart transplantation. DPG is a better predictor of pulmonary vascular remodeling compared to TPG and PVR. Further larger prospective studies are required in this field due to the growing numbers of patients with advanced heart failure, as possible candidates for LVAD implantation, and limitations of heart transplantation.
左心室辅助装置(LVAD)越来越多地用于晚期心力衰竭患者,作为心脏移植的桥梁或目的疗法。本研究旨在探讨植入 LVAD 后舒张肺阶差(DPG)、肺血管阻力(PVR)和跨肺阶差(TPG)的变化及其对 LVAD 和心脏移植后存活率的影响。研究人员对2016年至2022年期间接受LVAD(HeartMate III)植入术的73名患者进行了回顾性研究。根据LVAD植入前的导管检查结果,49例(67.1%)患者的DPG<7 mmHg,24例(32.9%)患者的DPG≥7 mmHg。与 DPG < 7 mmHg 的患者相比,VAD 术前 DPG ≥ 7 mmHg 的患者发生右心室(RV)衰竭(p < 0.001)、插入 RVAD(p < 0.001)、需要肾脏替代疗法(p = 0.002)、总死亡率(p = 0.036)和 VAD 术中死亡率(p = 0.04)的频率更高,入住 ICU 的时间更长(p = 0.001)。在 38(12-60)个月的随访期间,24(32.9%)名患者死亡。LVAD 前 DPG ≥ 7 mmHg(调整后 HR 1.83,95% CI 1.21-6.341,p = 0.039)和 LVAD 后 DPG ≥ 7 mmHg(调整后 HR 3.824,95% CI 1.482-14.648,p = 0.002)与死亡风险增加有关。LVAD前TPG≥12(p = 0.505)或LVAD后TPG≥12 mmHg(p = 0.122)均与死亡风险增加无关。LVAD 前 PVR ≥ 3 WU 的死亡风险在统计学上不显著(HR 2.35,95% CI 0.803-6.848,p = 0.119),而 LVAD 后 PVR ≥ 3 WU 的死亡风险增加(调整后 HR 2.37,95% CI 1.241-7.254,p = 0.038)。就移植后死亡率而言,LVAD 术后 DPG ≥ 7 mmHg(p = 0.55)、LVAD 术后 TPG ≥ 12 mmHg(p = 0.85)和 PVR ≥ 3 WU(p = 0.54)在统计学上没有增加风险。逻辑多变量回归显示,LVAD 术后 PVR ≥ 3 WU(p = 0.013)、LVAD 术后 DPG ≥ 7 mmHg(p = 0.026)和 RVF(p = 0.018)是 LVAD 植入术后死亡率的预测因素。LVAD 植入前 DPG ≥ 7 mmHg (p < 0.001) 和 LVAD 植入前 PVR ≥ 3 WU (p = 0.036) 是 LVAD 植入后 RVF 的预测因素。持续高 DPG 与 LVAD 植入术后右心室功能衰竭和死亡率相关,而与心脏移植术后相关。与 TPG 和 PVR 相比,DPG 更能预测肺血管重塑。由于晚期心力衰竭患者越来越多,可能成为 LVAD 植入术的候选者,以及心脏移植术的局限性,该领域需要进一步开展更大规模的前瞻性研究。

Malignant primary cardiac tumors are infrequent and can lead to an unfavorable prognosis if not identified and treated promptly. Early detection and prompt treatment of malignant primary cardiac tumors are crucial for a better prognosis. This article presents a case of primary cardiac leiomyosarcoma and reviews the literature on this topic. Female patient that developed recurrent pericardial effusion and hemodynamic instability caused by a cardiac tumor, later identified as leiomyosarcoma. Multidisciplinary treatment was administered to the patient. The initial approach to this type of pathology should include multimodality imaging to establish a prompt diagnosis leading to complete standard treatment, to minimize risks to the patient's heart function which may include resection with complete margins of the neoplasm, otherwise the prognosis may be poor.
恶性原发性心脏肿瘤并不常见,如果不能及时发现和治疗,会导致不良预后。恶性原发性心脏肿瘤的早期发现和及时治疗对改善预后至关重要。本文介绍了一例原发性心脏细肌瘤病例,并回顾了相关文献。女患者因心脏肿瘤导致复发性心包积液和血流动力学不稳定,后被确诊为心脏细肌瘤。患者接受了多学科治疗。此类病理的初始治疗方法应包括多模态成像,以便及时确诊,从而进行全面的标准治疗,将对患者心脏功能的风险降至最低,其中可能包括对肿瘤进行边缘完整的切除,否则预后可能会很差。
