Abstract 4120434: A Rare Case Of Localized Ventricular Tachycardia Due To Mitral Annular Disjunction And a Subvalvular Aneurysm

Circulation

Introduction:Mitral annular disjunction (MAD) is an abnormality of the mitral valve where a portion of the mitral annulus and valve leaflets insert into the left atrium away from the fibrous annulus. Electrocardiogram (ECG) showed sustained monomorphic VT at a rate of 160 bpm.

Hypertropic Cardiomyopathy: A Board Review Question Explained By Video

BoardVitals - Cardiovascular

Explanation: Shown electrocardiogram suggests left ventricular hypertrophy. Shown electrocardiogram suggests left ventricular hypertrophy. While the first one may radiate to the axilla and base, but usually not into the neck, it does reflect both aortic outflow obstruction and mitral regurgitation in patients with a large gradient.

Abstract 4141052: Rare Combo: An Unusual Case of a 54-year-old Filipino with Coronary Artery Fistula from Left Anterior Descending Artery to Main Pulmonary Artery and Acute Cerebellar Infarct: A Cardio – Cerebral Infarction Syndrome - Case Report

Circulation

Laboratory tests showed markedly elevated troponin I levels (>50 ng/ml) and atrial fibrillation, along with inferior wall ST elevation on the electrocardiogram. A 2D echocardiogram revealed an ejection fraction of 43%, hypokinesia of the anterior and intraventricular septum from base to apex, and severe mitral stenosis.
