Platypnea-Orthodeoxia Syndrome (POS) is a rare condition characterized by dyspnoea and hypoxia in upright position and symptom relief in supine position. The etiology is multifactorial depending on an interatrial defect and a functional component, which increases the right-to-left shunting in upright position. We report the case of a 68-years-old woman known with hypertension, dilated ascending aorta, two minor strokes and one episode of transient ischemic attack, admitted with severe dyspnoea and desaturation to 71% without oxygen supply. The patient experienced worsening of symptoms in vertical position and relief when lying down. Initially, pulmonary embolism was suspected, but refuted by computed tomography and ventilation/perfusion scintigraphy. The scintigraphy demonstrated tracer activity in multiple organs, which indicated a right-to-left shunt. Transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) demonstrated a patent foramen ovale and a persisting eustachian valve resulting in right-to-left shunting, consistent with POS. Right heart catherization demonstrated normal pulmonary artery pressure of 12 mmHg ruling out pulmonary hypertension before the patient underwent PFO occlusion and gained full recovery. When POS is suspected, postural provocation should be considered when performing TEE and right heart catherization to demonstrate worsening of right-to-left shunting in upright position. In the cardiology emergency departments, POS is a rare but important differential diagnosis to pulmonary embolism.
直立呼吸-正氧综合征(POS)是一种罕见的疾病,其特征是直立体位时呼吸困难和缺氧,仰卧位时症状缓解。病因是多因素的,取决于心房缺损和功能成分,这增加了直立位置的右至左分流。我们报告一例68岁女性高血压,升主动脉扩张,两次轻微中风和一次短暂性脑缺血发作,入院时伴有严重呼吸困难和缺氧至71%,无氧供应。患者垂直体位时症状加重,平卧时症状减轻。最初,怀疑肺栓塞,但通过计算机断层扫描和通气/灌注显像驳斥。闪烁成像显示示踪剂活性在多个器官,提示右至左分流。经食管超声心动图(TEE)显示卵圆孔未闭和持续存在的耳咽管瓣膜导致右至左分流,与POS一致。右心导管显示肺动脉压正常12 mmHg,排除肺动脉高压,患者接受PFO闭塞并完全康复。当怀疑POS时,在进行TEE和右心导管时应考虑体位刺激,以证明直立位置右至左分流恶化。在心脏病急诊科,POS是肺栓塞的罕见但重要的鉴别诊断。

Introduction: Pneumomediastinum is defined as the presence of air in the mediastinal cavity. This is a rare disease caused by surgical procedures, trauma or spontaneous scape of air from the lungs; asthma is a frequently associated factor. It has extensive differential diagnoses due to its symptoms and clinical signs. Case presentation: A 17-year-old female patient presented with respiratory symptoms for 2 days, dyspnea, chest pain radiated to the neck and shoulders, right supraclavicular subcutaneous emphysema, wheezing in both lung fields, tachycardia and tachypnea. On admission, laboratory tests revealed leukocytosis and neutrophilia, and chest X-ray showed subcutaneous emphysema in the right supraclavicular region. Diagnosis of pneumomediastinum was confirmed through a CT scan of the chest. The patient was admitted for treatment with satisfactory evolution. Discussion: Pneumomediastinum occurs mainly in young patients with asthma, and is associated with its exacerbation. This condition can cause other complications such as pneumopericardium, as in this case. The course of the disease is usually benign and has a good prognosis. Conclusion: Because of its presentation, pneumomediastinum requires clinical suspicion to guide the diagnosis and treatment. In this context, imaging is fundamental.
简介:纵隔气肿是指纵隔腔内存在空气。这是一种罕见的疾病,由外科手术、创伤或肺部空气自然排出引起;哮喘是一个常见的相关因素。由于其症状和临床体征,它有广泛的鉴别诊断。病例介绍:17岁女性患者,呼吸系统症状2天,呼吸困难,胸痛放射至颈肩,右侧锁骨上皮下肺气肿,双肺区喘鸣,心动过速,呼吸急促。入院时,实验室检查显示白细胞增多和嗜中性粒细胞增多,胸部x线显示右侧锁骨上区皮下肺气肿。通过胸部CT扫描确诊为纵隔气肿。患者入院治疗进展满意。讨论:纵隔气肿主要发生在年轻的哮喘患者中,并与哮喘的加重有关。这种情况可引起其他并发症,如心包气肿,如本例。本病的病程通常为良性,预后良好。结论:纵隔气肿的临床表现需要临床怀疑,以指导诊断和治疗。在这种情况下,成像是最基本的。

Introduction: Rifampin is a cornerstone for the first phase of the treatment of pulmonary tuberculosis. This report presents the case of a patient with allergic tubulointerstitial nephritis (ATIN) due to rifampin, situation that has not been reported in Colombia. Case presentation: A male patient with a history of pulmonary tuberculosis treated with rifampin developed acute kidney injury. On admission, no evidence of abnormalities or history to explain the injury was found, but he did present tubular acidosis and associated Fanconi syndrome. The kidney injury was temporarily consistent with rifampicin use, and a kidney biopsy confirmed ATIN. The drug was suspended, resulting in improved kidney function. Discussion: ATIN as a side effect of rifampin is a scarcely reported disease. The risk of developing this condition should be considered when starting and restarting treatments with this medication. Conclusion: ATIN is one of the side effects of tuberculosis treatment. Albeit rare, it should be considered when starting tuberculosis medications.
利福平是肺结核第一阶段治疗的基石。本报告报告了一例因利福平引起的过敏性肾小管间质性肾炎(ATIN)患者,这种情况在哥伦比亚尚未报道。病例介绍:一位有肺结核病史的男性患者用利福平治疗后出现急性肾损伤。入院时,没有发现异常或病史的证据来解释损伤,但他确实出现了管状酸中毒和相关的范可尼综合征。肾损伤暂时与利福平的使用一致,肾活检证实非酒精性肾上腺素。停药后,肾功能得到改善。讨论:ATIN作为利福平的副作用是一种很少报道的疾病。在开始和重新开始使用这种药物治疗时,应考虑到发生这种情况的风险。结论:ATIN是结核治疗的不良反应之一。虽然很罕见,但在开始治疗结核病时应该考虑到这一点。

The position and stability of left ventricular (LV) lead is important in determining the success of Cardiac Resynchronization Therapy (CRT). Lead dislodgement is a common problem accounting for up to 2 to 12% of cases. We report a case of successful implantation of LV lead by jailing the lead with stent implantation in the coronary sinus. *Correspondence to: Parag Barwad, Department of Cardiology, Advanced Cardiac Centre, Post Graduate Institute of Medical Education & Research, Chandigarh-160012, India, Tel: +91 8968732470, E-mail: paragaims@gmail.com

The author’s contributions with regard to defects in the atrial septum, namely, secundum atrial septal defects (ASDs) and patent foramen ovlae (PFO) will be reviewed. Successful closure with the buttoned device with excellent immediate and follow-up results was demonstrated in patients with 1. ostium secundum ASDs, 2. patent foramen ovale (PFO) presumed to be the seat of paradoxical embolism, 3. residual ASDs/PFOs with right-to-left shunt following prior cardiac surgery, and 4. ASDs/ PFOs resulting in platypnea-orthodeoxia syndrome. Also reviewed was why, when and how should ASDs be closed in adults. Since the buttoned device is no longer available for clinical use, now the author utilizes other devices, namely, Amplatzer and Gore Septal occluders instead.

Peripartum cardiomyopathy (PPCM), 2021: dialogue with PPCM mothers 围产期心肌病(PPCM), 2021:与PPCM母亲的对话
Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.15761/jccr.1000162

PPCM is defined as the development of heart failure during or immediately after pregnancy. Officially, heart failure in this setting is defined as left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) of 45% or less [1-3]. However, that level does not define those who are identified earlier and their LVEF may be greater than 45%. In addition, LVEF impairment only describes systolic dysfunction heart failure; and PPCM also involves diastolic dysfunction heart failure-with or without preserved LVEF. Hence, newer definitions must include both systolic and diastolic dysfunction. Similar signs and symptoms may be seen with either and the treatment is also similar [1-5]. It helps in assessing both risks for development of PPCM and existence of early pregnancyassociated cardiomyopathy (PAC) to do blood testing that includes B-type Natriuretic Peptide (BNP), soluble fms-like tyrosine kinase (sFLT1) and Placental Growth Factor (PGF) [6].
PPCM的定义是在怀孕期间或怀孕后立即出现心力衰竭。官方定义,在这种情况下,心力衰竭的定义是左心室射血分数(LVEF)小于或等于45%[1-3]。然而,这一水平并不能定义那些较早被发现的人,他们的LVEF可能大于45%。此外,LVEF损害仅描述收缩功能障碍心衰;PPCM也涉及舒张功能障碍心衰,伴有或不伴有LVEF保留。因此,新的定义必须包括收缩期和舒张期功能障碍。两者的体征和症状相似,治疗方法也相似[1-5]。血液检测包括b型利钠肽(BNP)、可溶性膜样酪氨酸激酶(sFLT1)和胎盘生长因子(PGF)[6],有助于评估PPCM发展的风险和早期妊娠相关心肌病(PAC)的存在。

Rhabdomyomas are the most common cardiac tumours and are easily diagnosed by echocardiography. Heart failure and arrhythmias are two major complications of rhabdomyomas in foetal life and in newborns. We report the case of an apparently healthy male newborn with sporadic ventricular premature beats. The echocardiographic evaluation performed at birth showed multiple rhabdomyomas with a significant obstruction of the left and right ventricular outflow tracts. During the follow-up, we observed absence of neurological problems, no signs of heart failure, and normalization of the arrhythmic burden. Serial echocardiographic evaluation showed a reduction of the size and number of rhabdomyomas. The subsequent 14-year follow-up was completely uneventful. In conclusion, owing to the favourable natural history of rhabdomyomas, most patients can be managed conservatively.

Asystole in an older patient with recurrent falls. Case report 复发性跌倒的老年患者心脏骤停1例。病例报告
Pub Date : 2020-01-01 DOI: 10.15446/cr.v6n1.82558
William-Fernando Bautista-Vargas
Introduction: Recurrent falls are a usual problema in older patients. It is therefore important to learn how to differentiate a pathological or syncopal episode from a simple stumbling fall, especially in patients who have limitations for communicating clearly and are poorly understood, in general terms, during the medical consultation. Implantable loop recorders (ILR) have been used as an investigation tool in selected cases of recurrent falls in older patients. Consequently, this case report aims to describe its usefulness in this type of patients. Case presentation: An 87-year-old female patient, hypertensive, with a history of recent stroke and frequent falls —referred to as stumbling—, received an implantable loop recorder due to atrial fibrillation. During one follow-up appointment, a 36-second pause related to a fall was documented, so a bicameral pacemaker was implanted. Conclusions: Evaluating repeated falls in older patients is complex; it must be done in detail to rule out syncopal episodes. Implantable devices to diagnose arrhythmic causes are useful and allow achieving accurate diagnoses and establish specific behaviors aimed at improving the quality of life of patients.
反复跌倒是老年患者的常见问题。因此,学习如何区分病理性或晕厥发作与简单的绊倒是很重要的,特别是对于那些在医疗咨询过程中无法清晰沟通和理解不足的患者。植入式循环记录仪(ILR)已被用作老年患者复发性跌倒的调查工具。因此,本病例报告旨在描述其在这类患者中的有用性。病例介绍:一名87岁女性高血压患者,近期有中风史和频繁跌倒(称为绊倒),因房颤接受了植入式环路记录仪。在一次随访中,记录了与跌倒有关的36秒暂停,因此植入了一个两院制起搏器。结论:评估老年患者的反复跌倒是复杂的;必须详细检查以排除晕厥发作。植入式设备诊断心律失常的原因是有用的,可以实现准确的诊断和建立特定的行为,旨在提高患者的生活质量。

It is therefore important to learn how to differentiate a pathological or syncopal episode from a simple stumbling fall, especially in patients who have limitations for communicating clearly and are poorly understood, in general terms, during the medical consultation. Implantable loop recorders (ILR) have been used as an investigation tool in selected cases of recurrent falls in older patients. Consequently, this case report aims to describe its usefulness in this type of patients. Case presentation: An 87-year-old female patient, hypertensive, with a history of recent stroke and frequent falls —referred to as stumbling—, received an implantable loop recorder due to atrial fibrillation. During one follow-up appointment, a 36-second pause related to a fall was documented, so a bicameral pacemaker was implanted.

Cardiac involvement is one of the extra-pulmonary presentations of COVID19. We describe a patient with COVID19 who had a devastating cardiac involvement without any pulmonary presentation. The cardiac presentations of COVID19 are myocardial injury, fulminant myocarditis, and myocardial infarction. Pulmonary involvement does not always appear, and clinical deterioration is unexpected. *Correspondence to: Anat Berkovitch, Division of Cardiology, Chaim Sheba Medical Center, Tel Hashomer 52621, Israel, Tel +972-54-5746277, E-mail: anat. berko@gmail.com
心脏受累是covid - 19的肺外表现之一。我们描述了一位患有covid - 19的患者,他有破坏性的心脏受累,没有任何肺部表现。新冠肺炎的心脏表现为心肌损伤、暴发性心肌炎和心肌梗死。肺受累并不总是出现,临床恶化是意料之外的。*通讯:Anat Berkovitch, Chaim Sheba医疗中心心脏病科,Tel Hashomer 52621, Israel, Tel +972-54-5746277, E-mail: Anat。berko@gmail.com
