TAVI program in Bahrain is encouraging and corresponds to the finest international centers outcomes in terms of procedural success and complications rate. Speckle-tracking imaging is a novel method for assessing left ventricular (LV) function and ischemic changes. The aim of this prospective study was to assess the diagnostic accuracy of global longitudinal strain (GLS) and regional longitudinal strain (RLS) parameters at rest in comparison to stress echocardiography findings for detecting significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). We prospectively studied echocardiographic characteristics at rest with Speckle tracking echocardiography (2D STE) measures; then stress echocardiography and coronary angiography data in 34 diabetic patients without regional wall motion abnormality (RWMA) at rest. Patients were grouped according to coronary angiography and stress echocardiography results into two groups CAD (+) vs control group CAD (-). GLS at rest was lower in the CAD (+) group ((-14.2 % ± 3.1 vs -17.8 % ± 3.1 in the control group CAD (-), P=0.004). GLS at rest had the highest area under the ROC curve (AUC) (AUC 0.78, sensitivity 61%, specificity 91%,P=0.009) with the cut-off of -14.5% which is equal to predictive power of wall motion scoring index (WMSI) at peak stress to detect significant CAD (AUC=0.76 (95% CI 0.58-0.94, P= 0.016) with the cut-off value of 1.21). Global longitudinal strain at rest by STE showed excellent specificity (>90%) and good sensitivity (60%) for the diagnosis of severe CAD among the diabetic population with unknown CAD. This is the first study showing that GLS at rest with cutoff value at -14.5% had good and equal diagnostic accuracy as WMSI at peak stress to detect significant CAD among the diabetic population. 90%) and good sensitivity (60%) for the diagnosis of severe CAD among the diabetic population with unknown CAD.

We report a case of 26-year-old man admitted for COVID 19 infection and symptoms leading to myocarditis. We describe the workup that led to the potential diagnosis. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) is a biologically active organ that has endocrine and paracrine functions. Endothelial dysfunction, systemic, and local inflammatory response, due to bio-active molecules produced by EAT, may affect aortic dissection propagation and extent. We investigated the association between EAT thickness and the extent of aortic dissection. We retrospectively enrolled 78 patients with aortic dissection diagnosed by thoracoabdominal Computerized Tomography (CT). EAT was measured from the thickest part of the perpendicular plane between the pericardium and free wall of the right ventricle using CT. Aortic dissection length was measured from the beginning to the end of the dissection flap at sagittal images. We included 78 patients with the mean age of 63.9 ± 11.7 and 57 (73.5%) patients were male. Dissection length was correlated positively with EAT (r 0.409, p < 0.001), body mass index (r 0.408, p 0.018), and admission systolic blood pressure (r 0.830, p 0.026) whereas an inverse correlation existed between age and dissection length (r 0.318, p 0.005). Multivariate analysis identified age and EAT as independent predictors of dissection length. Increased EAT was independently associated with the extent of aortic dissection. We think that either paracrine and endocrine functions of EAT might have contributed to the extent of aortic dissection. Increased EAT was independently associated with the extent of aortic dissection. We think that either paracrine and endocrine functions of EAT might have contributed to the extent of aortic dissection. The combination of subaortic membrane (SAM) and patent ductus arteriosus is very rare. https://www.selleckchem.com/products/vorapaxar.html Subaortic stenosis is the second most common form of left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction after valvular aortic stenosis. We are reporting the largest case series of SAM and PDA. We included all patients that were diagnosed with the combination of SAM and PDA at our cardiac center. We have reviewed patients echocardiographic studies, cardiac catheterizations, surgical notes and all the outpatients notes. We have a total of 7 patients. The age at presentation was in the early childhood with 3 patients diagnosed in infancy. Four patients had severe and moderate LVOT obstruction with SAM being very close to the aortic valve and all required surgical intervention. The last three patients had mild LVOT obstruction 2 of them with the SAM being > 4mm away from the aortic valve. Six out of the seven patients had intervention while the last one is under clinical follow up currently. PDA closure did not change the outcome. There were no other postoperative complication like developing new AI or developing complete heart block. There was no relation between gender, height, weight or age at diagnosis to the SAM clinical course. SAM and PDA association is very rare. The underlying pathophysiology is not well understood. When the SAM is closer to aortic valve (≤ 4mm), it carries higher risk of progressive LVOT obstruction. The interventions for SAM and PDA were safe procedures. SAM and PDA association is very rare.

These pacemakers have to be deployed, captured and redeployed in order to achieve optimal electric parameters. Various complications occur during this procedure. We herein report a unique case, where right ventricular (RV) pacing lead of the patient was accidently snapped with the tines during deployment of intracardiac pacemaker in an elderly male with pocket site infection.
