Introduction
Heart failure is a major public health problem because of the number and duration of hospitalizations. Patients with heart failure may have mixed etiologies that are not mutually exclusive, and etiologies vary between high-income and developing countries. The aim of our work was to study the contribution of coronary angiography in the etiological investigation of heart failure with impaired LVEF in the cardiology department of HPD.
Methodology
This was a descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study with retrospective data collection on 103 patients hospitalized in the cardiology department of DAKAR's Hospital Principal presenting with heart failure with impaired LVEF and who underwent coronary angiography from January 2019 to December 2022.
Results
Our study included 103 patients with a clear male predominance 79.6% and a sex ratio of 3.7. Their mean age was 64±13.5 years. Diabetes was prevalent at 24.3% (p=0.033). All patients had impaired segmental and/or global left ventricular kinetics. Mean ejection fraction was 28.1±6.8. The right radial route was predominantly used 83.7% of the time, and there were no procedural incidents or accidents. Diabetes was significantly associated with coronary involvement (p=0.033). Coronary angiography was normal in 37.8% of patients and showed tri-truncular lesions in 19.4% of patients and bi-truncular lesions in 17.4%.
We found 91 significant lesion and 67 non-significant lesion. A total of 41 patients had ischemic heart disease, equivalent to 39.8%.
Conclusion
Our study shows that ischemic heart disease plays an important role in the etiology of heart failure with impaired LVEF, and that coronary angiography should be performed routinely.

Introduction
Mature teratomas, a diverse group of germ cell tumors, rarely present with complications such as rupture.
Case presentation
We present a case of a 27-year-old male who was admitted to our hospital with acute dyspnea. A tamponade was diagnosed and the patient underwent a pericardial puncture. Further radiological investigations revealed a large mediastinal teratoma with evidence of rupture, leading to pericardial effusion. Surgical intervention was performed, which involved pericardial drainage and complete resection of the teratoma. Histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of a mature teratoma. The patient made a full recovery postoperatively.
Discussion
This rare case underscores the importance of early recognition and prompt surgical management in patients with ruptured mediastinal teratomas to prevent complications. We discuss the clinical presentation, diagnostic workup, and surgical approach to aid in the understanding and management of similar cases.
Conclusion
Mature teratomas are relatively rare benign tumors that rarely present with complications such as tamponade. Management of tamponade remains the same, and complete surgical removal of the teratoma is essential. In general, the outcome is favorable after surgical treatment.

导读:我们生活在卫生部门信息技术(IT)创新的时代,这导致了新的组织模式的挪用,这正在深刻地改变医学实践。我们的研究旨在确定新数字技术在摩洛哥卫生系统中的挑战,以Ibn Sina大学医院中心的心脏病科- B为例。材料与方法:本研究是一项单中心观察性描述性分析研究,于2022年9月1日起在心内科B级开展,为期6个月。使用服务内部的数字设备,以纸质形式向工作人员所属的医生或正在进行实习的医生分发调查表。结果:共收集问卷31份,参与率78%;被调查者的年龄在21 - 55岁之间,平均年龄为30.3±8.71岁,女性占67.7%,我们样本中几乎一半的卫生专业人员(42%)是居民。部署最多的数字设备是医院信息系统(HIS),占80.6%;93.5%的受访者指出,节省时间是远程医疗的优势之一,71%的受访者肯定,可以更好地监测位于偏远地区的患者,以避免放弃护理。74.2%的受访者认为技术问题是部署远程程序的障碍;相比之下,诊断不明确的比例为22.2%;64.5%的受访者指出,培训将是将更多远程活动纳入其实践的主要杠杆,54.5%的受访者赞成调整时间段。结论:尽管存在阻碍数字化转型充分发挥其潜力的障碍,但受访者认为这些数字化工具的好处很多。在这一卫生部门使用新的数字技术应对了组织和教育效率方面的积极挑战;这需要所有利益攸关方的协调。心内科- b -是一个有利于实施新型数字技术的空间。

Introduction
Therapeutic education of the patient (TPE) treated with AVK has improved the safety and efficiency of this treatment by establishing a new doctor-patient relationship. The objective of our study was to assess the impact of a TPE program on adherence in patients treated with AVK.
Methods
We conducted a prospective interventional study between January and September 2020, including two groups of patients hospitalized for a first thromboembolic: a G1 group with conventional service support and a G2 group with an ETP program created during this work. Each patient was assessed after three months of adherence to VKA.
Results
The two groups had comparable epidemiological and clinical characteristics. After three months, we found a level of adherence in the G2 group.
Conclusion
The implementation of an ETP practice in patients treated with AVK allowed a better patient compliance with a better involvement in the management. This practice should be codified through the development of a national FTE repository.

Background
Complex coronary artery abnormalities (CAA) are rare findings with no established guideline for their management in asymptomatic patients.
Case summary
We report the case of a 49-year-old male patient, with no medical history, who was incidentally diagnosed for two congenital complex CAA during for the management of an acute coronary syndrome without ST elevation.
The coronary angiogram showed an acute atheromatous occlusion of the right coronary artery (RCA) that was treated by a drug-eluting stent.
Transcatheter angiograms as well as the coronary computed tomography (CT) also revealed an ectopic RCA arising from the left cuspid with an inter-arterial course, and a second left anterior descending artery emerging from the RCA with a retro-pulmonary course.
The present acute coronary syndrome was not in relation to his congenital disease but with an atheromatous disease. On 48 months of follow-up, the transthoracic echocardiography is normal and the patient remains asymptomatic despite the risk of sudden cardiac death and myocardial infarction.
Discussion
This case shows that CAA can be clinically silent for a long period of time without any correction. It highlights that ischemia in patients with CAA is not always due to the congenital disease. As patients seemed to remain at SCD risk despite surgical correction, not correcting the CAA might remain an alternative in asymptomatic adult patients.

Introduction
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) is a very rare malignant primary cardiac tumor with a poor prognosis.
Observation
A 34-year-old woman complained of dyspnea evolving in a febrile context with altered general condition: Transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed a left intra-atrial mass measuring 51/26 mm in diameter. A thoracic computed tomography (CT) revealed a mass occupying the left atrium measuring 42/28/34 mm, associated with two pulmonary metastases. The cardiac mass was resected and the postoperative suites were fatal. Histological diagnosis was UPS.
Conclusion
We present an atypical case of invasive UPS, which was surgically resected and scheduled for radio-chemotherapy with a fatal outcome.
