Echocardiogram, CT aortogram and late gadolinium imaging of the aorta have been shown in figure 1. The coronary angiogram was normal. Figure 1 (A) Two-dimensional echocardiogram short-axis basal view showing aortic valve; (B) volume-rendered CT aortogram. The renal and carotid Doppler tests were normal.

Her ejection fraction was 66% ejection fraction with a fistula between the right sinus of Valsalva and the right atrium on transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) which was also seen on transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE). Her heart failure was due to the fistula as she had no coronary artery disease on coronary angiogram.

Transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) showed an ejection fraction (EF) of 40% and a moderate-large pericardial effusion with signs of tamponade. Intra-operative transesophageal echocardiogram (TEE) post-decannulation showed a normal EF without segmental abnormalities. A repeat coronary angiogram was unremarkable.

Workup including routine laboratory results, 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, and coronary angiogram was non-specific. During the intravenous lacosamide infusion, the patient developed sudden cardiac arrest caused by ventricular arrhythmias necessitating resuscitation.

The routine laboratory results, imaging study, coronary angiogram, and echocardiogram (ECG) were normal. Case We report the case of a 20-year-old man with variants in SCN5A and RyR2 genes who was resuscitated from sudden cardiac death during sleep due to a ventricular fibrillation. The patient did not have underlying diseases.

Case continued The patient underwent an emergency formal echocardiogram and it was unchanged. Cath Lab activation was cancelled.

It’s judicious, then, to arrange for coronary angiogram. Coronary occlusion, however, might be present concurrently with subendocardial ischemia on the time-zero ECG, or evolve into such.

Angiogram showed a culprit lesion of 100% stenosis to the right coronary artery and 100% stenosis of the right posterior descending artery, both with TIMI 0 flow. Echocardiogram the following day showed a left ventricular ejection fraction of 52% (+/- 5%) with hypokinesis of the basal-mid inferior and inferoseptal myocardium.

See this case: what do you think the echocardiogram shows in this case? We investigated the incidence of an acutely occluded coronary in patients presenting with STE-aVR with multi-lead ST depression.

The diagnostic coronary angiogram identified only minimal coronary artery disease, but there was a severely calcified, ‘immobile’ aortic valve. Aortic angiogram did not reveal aortic dissection. During the procedure, the patient had an increasing oxygen requirement and was intubated for airway protection and oxygenation.
