Here we report a rare morphology of a cardiac fibroma in a child. A 2-year and 8-month-old toddler came for “chronic constipation” and was found to have a heart murmur on cardiac auscultation. Further transthoracic echocardiography suggested “a strong echogenic mass in the left ventricular wall, with some part of “a string of beads” in shape extending into left ventricle outflow tract”, which was atypical for either a tumor, thrombus or vegetation.

Researchers have uncovered two novel gene mutations that may be responsible for a rare blood disorder. The mutations are found on the GNE gene and impact an enzyme, also called GNE, that is involved in the synthesis of sialic acid and a process called sialylation, which is critical for brain development. The mutations were first identified in a pediatric patient with macrothrombocytopenia, also called a giant platelet disorder, because of the enlarged size of blood platelets.

Torsade de pointes (TdP) was not a rare arrhythmia in Israel during the 1970s–1980s as many patients, mainly with atrial fibrillation (AF), were treated with QT-prolonging antiarrhythmic drugs. We published several articles on the use of cardiac pacing and intravenous (IV) isoproterenol in patients who developed TdP from quinidine, disopyramide, or amiodarone.

The non-neuronal cholinergic system of the cardiovascular system has recently gained attention because of its origin. The final product of this system is acetylcholine (ACh) not derived from the parasympathetic nervous system but from cardiomyocytes, endothelial cells, and immune cells. Accordingly, it is defined as an ACh synthesis system by non-neuronal cells.

COVID-19 is a respiratory disease. Yet, from the earliest days of the pandemic, the cardiovascular risks associated with SARS-CoV-2 infection were clear: individuals with severe cases of COVID-19 often died from cardiovascular complications, and those with pre-existing cardiovascular disease were more likely to have severe illness or die.

The presentation of the patient included a spectrum of symptoms such as headache, chest discomfort, palpitations, and dyspnea, following the intake of Domperidone. Two weeks prior to admission, the patient had experienced episodes of diarrhea and a low-grade fever.

Introduction This study evaluated the hypothesis that vascular aging (VA) reduces ventricular contractile function and mechanical efficiency (ME) using the left ventricular pressure-volume (PV) construct. Methods A previously published in-silico computational model (CM) was modified to evaluate the hypothesis in two phases. In phase I, the CM included five settings of aortic compliance ( C A ) from normal to stiff, studied at a heart rate of 80 bpm, and phase II included the normal to stiff C A
