Introduction
Anticoagulant therapy, often required in the elderly, is not without risk. This study aims to investigate the particularities of the use of anticoagulants in the elderly during hospital stay, along with the factors associated with bleeding and overdose.
Results
There were 55 women and 45 men (sex ratio: 0.81), with a mean age of 75.7 ± 6.9 years. The indications for anticoagulant treatment were venous thromboembolism (VTE) (92%) and atrial fibrillation (AF) (8%).
The average duration of treatment with acenocoumarol was 17.22 days ± 7.9. The dose of acenocoumarol initiation was 1 mg in 85% of patients and 2 mg in 15%.
INR < 2 was observed in 15% of patients. INR in the target area was obtained in 47% of patients with a mean dose of 2.33 mg of acenocoumarol. An overdose of acenocoumarol was noted in 38% of patients: average INR at 4.7. Seven patients had bleeding events. An overdose was reported in 4 of them.
Fever, infection, inflammatory syndrome, hypoalbuminemia, hypoprotidemia, and malnutrition were associated with a greater risk of overdose in our patients. Gastroduodenal ulcer disease, past medical history of gastrointestinal bleeding and renal failure were risk factors for bleeding in our patients.
Conclusion
The use of anticoagulants in the elderly requires a comprehensive assessment, including comorbidities, geriatric settings, and social environment.

Unilateral agenesis of the pulmonary artery is a rare congenital malformation. Diagnosis is based on imaging due to the nonspecificity of clinical symptoms. Hemoptysis is among the rare manifestations of this malformation. Standard radiography provides relevant orientation elements; however, CT pulmonary angiography remains the reference examination for positive diagnosis. We report the case of a 47-year-old patient presenting with recurrent episodes of minimal hemoptysis occurring quietly. A CT pulmonary angiography was performed, revealing agenesis of the left pulmonary artery.

The mental health of allied professionals in interventional electrophysiology is an increasingly concerning topic given the emotional and physical demands inherent in their role, which deserves particular attention. This article examines the impact of stress, anxiety, and burnout on these healthcare professionals. To this end, an anonymous survey of allied professionals in interventional electrophysiology was conducted using a questionnaire via a dedicated survey platform over a period from October 17 to December 10, 2024. The data extracted and analyzed with the help of the platform revealed the following difficulties: lack of recognition, unsatisfactory working conditions, high workload, relational difficulties, and a lack of organization. This has resulted in an impact on the feelings of the allied professionals and especially on their work. In conclusion, this study reveals a generalized feeling of malaise among all allied professionals in interventional electrophysiology on a psychological, emotional, and physical level, as well as the importance of investing in the mental health of allied professionals for the improvement of the entire healthcare system.

Background
Identification of cardiopulmonary arrest and its immediate and effective management are decisive factors in survival.
Objective
To evaluate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices of Cameroonian physicians concerning cardiopulmonary resuscitation
Methods
We conducted a cross-sectional study among doctors in Douala, Bafoussam, Garoua, and Yaoundé in Cameroon over three months from March 2024 to May 2024. We included specialists, residents/interns, and general practitioners practising in these cities who agreed to participate in the study. Were not included physicians who had been in practice for less than six months in Cameroon. Answers were validated by referring to the European Resuscitation Council 2015 recommendations and the American Heart Association 2020. Means were compared using the ANOVA and Kruskal-Wallis test. The association between different variables was assessed using a χ2 test or an exact Fisher test. A p-value < 0.05 was considered significant.
Results
Of the 95 participants recruited, the median age was 31 (IQR 28- 33), with extremes between 25 and 56. Residents/interns represented the largest group in our population, with 66 (69.5%) participants. We had 56 (58.9%) participants who had already attended a cardiopulmonary resuscitation training course. Participants who had never attended a previous cardiopulmonary resuscitation training course had a significantly lower mean than those who had (9.90 ± 1.93 vs. 11.61 ± 2.80, P = 0.002). Participants whose last training was more than a year ago had a significantly lower mean score than participants whose previous training was less than a year ago (11.05 ± 2.97 vs. 12.78 ± 2.02, P = 0.016). There was a significant difference between participants' means according to the city of exercise (P=0.037). The doctors practising in Yaoundé had more inadequate practices than those practising outside of Yaoundé (OR: 7.607; 95% CI 1.897–30.509; p = 0.005).
Conclusion
Most of our participants' knowledge and practices regarding cardiopulmonary resuscitation were incomplete and inadequate. However, our study noted a positive attitude toward physicians. Therefore, it is essential to emphasise the training of health care providers on cardiopulmonary resuscitation.

Background
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) is a rare and under-diagnosed disease that accounts for 1 to 4% of acute coronary syndromes and nearly one-third of heart attacks in women under the age of 50. We present a unique case of a pheochromocytoma that contributed to SCAD.
Case summary
A 49-year-old patient presented to the emergency department with chest pain that had been evolving for several days. The diagnosis was a late ST ST-segment elevation Myocardial Infarction (STEMI) in the anterior leads. Echocardiography has shown a severe left ventricular dysfunction related to a large akinesis of anterior and lateral segments. Coronary angiography revealed a recent occlusion due to spontaneous dissection of the mid left anterior descending artery and of the first and second obtuse marginal arteries. During the same hospitalization, incidental findings from a CT pulmonary angiography led to the discovery of a left adrenal mass. Subsequent abdominal scanning and blood/urine assays confirmed a diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. The patient underwent follow-up coronary angiography and cardiac MRI to evaluate cardiac involvement before undergoing surgical removal of the pheochromocytoma.
The patient has undergone successful surgical ablation two months after STEMI in a referral center for endocrinology surgery with an optimal cardiological technical platform.
Discussion
Spontaneous coronary artery dissection is a rare and potentially fatal disease and has never been described in the literature in association with a pheochromocytoma. Similar cases require a multidisciplinary approach, as well as surgery carried out in a facility equipped with advanced cardiac techniques. Given the curative potential of pheochromocytoma, early detection of SCAD is essential to reduce the risk of recurrence.

Objective
To study the correlation between glycaemic control and blood pressure control, in order to determine the factors associated with blood pressure control in diabetic patients.
Methodology
This was a descriptive cross-sectional study with an analytical aim over a period of 7 months. Patients were recruited on an outpatient basis, and all underwent ABPM, measurement of glycated haemoglobin and creatinine levels, and assessment of compliance with treatment.
Results
Our criteria enabled us to select 116 patients. Women predominated (69%). The mean age of the patients was 62 ± 7 years, with a peak between 60 and 70 years. The mean duration of hypertension was 12 years and that of diabetes 6 years. The most frequently associated cardiovascular risk factor was physical inactivity (71.5%), followed by age. 57.8% of patients had uncontrolled blood pressure at the practice, with systolic hypertension predominating (58.2%). MAPA found that 61.6% of patients were controlled, giving a white-coat hypertension rate of 47.8%. Glycaemic control was observed in 42.2% of cases, and 87% of patients had good renal function. Compliance with treatment was good in 53.4% of cases, and dual therapy was the most commonly used treatment modality (44.8%), followed by triple therapy. The factors associated with poor blood pressure control were glycaemic imbalance, lack of compliance and monotherapy. Combination therapy was associated with good blood pressure control.
Conclusion
The association of hypertension and type 2 diabetes is frequent. The risk of occurrence increases with age. ABPM is the best method of assessing blood pressure control. Optimising blood pressure control in hypertensive diabetics requires optimising glycaemic control.

Introduction
Dilated cardiomyopathy is a rare and often little-known complication of pheochromocytoma, it is likewise exceptionally its discovery circumstance. This is usually an acute, reversible cardiomyopathy.We report the case of a 20-year-old young adult hospitalized for hypokinetic dilated cardiomyopathy with severe impairment of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) to 17%. High blood pressure persisted despite antihypertensive treatment, and the heart failure syndrome was refractory to medical treatment.
Abdominal CT scan revealed a heterogeneous adrenal mass strongly suggestive of pheochromocytoma. Determination of plasma metanephrines and normetanephrines led to the diagnosis of pheochromocytoma. After surgery, the course was marked by stabilization of blood pressure, normalization of Doppler echocardiography and complete clinical remission.
He remained asymptomatic at one year.
