Intracardiac bronchogenic cysts (IBCs) are very rare. To date, only a few cases of IBC have been reported in the literature. We report a case of a bronchogenic cyst that arose from the interatrial septum in a 42-year-old man who presented with symptoms of palpitation. A unilocular cystic lesion of the heart was found initially on echocardiography and subsequently on computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.

BackgroundSepsis is characterized by high morbidity and mortality rates, alongside limited therapeutic efficacy. Atrial fibrillation (AF), the most common arrhythmia, has been closely linked to sepsis in prior research. However, the specific mechanisms through which sepsis leads to new-onset AF remain poorly understood. This study focuses on identifying critical genes that are dysregulated in the development of new-onset AF within the context of sepsis, with the goal of uncovering new potential
