Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a rare, yet potentially life-threatening, condition involving the spontaneous tearing or separation of the coronary artery wall. This occurs in the absence of atherosclerosis, trauma, or iatrogenic causes. SCAD can lead to myocardial injury through coronary artery obstruction, often caused by intramural hematoma formation or intimal disruption.
Persistent left superior vena cava is a rare congenital malformation, usually without clinical impact, due to the persistence of the anterior cardinal vein. It is detected in approximately 3% of autopsies and in 2% to 4% of patients with congenital heart disease.
Background: The American Heart Association (AHA) guidelines suggest that sexual activity is reasonable for most patients with Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) however, it should be deferred for patients with severe symptoms until clinically stabilized. Furthermore, the AHA scientific committee noted that no Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA) cases linked to sexual activity in HCM have been documented. Therefore, this case report describes
Down Syndrome (DS) is the most common chromosomal abnormality in live born infants. Although limited research suggests that autonomic dysfunction may be more common in the setting of DS, a predisposition to cardiac conduction abnormalities is not well recognised. We performed a retrospective review of records at our tertiary referral centre from Jan 2018 to Jan 2021 to identify people who had Down's syndrome and required permanent pacemaker implantation for cardiac conduction disease.
It is estimated that 1/2000 people have a solitary kidney and they are at risk for developing arterial hypertension and impaired renal function. Hypertension is an independent risk factor for progression of renal disease in people born with a solitary kidney. Early detection, regular follow up and prompt management of blood pressure may help slow the progression of renal function impairment.
