Joseph Salvador Mingou,Diao Maboury,Mouhamadou Bamba Ndiaye,Khadim Rassoul Diop,Moina-Hanifa Ismael Ibouroi,Fatou Aw,Simon Antoine Sarr,Malick Bodian,Youssou Diouf
Introduction: Congenital coronary anomalies are rare but may present as serious clinical events, sometimes mimicking acute coronary syndromes. Chronic total occlusion (CTO) of the left main coronary artery (LMCA) is exceptionally rare and is often discovered incidentally or during evaluation of chest pain. Case Presentation: We report, after informed consent, the case of a 69-year-old hypertensive, dyslipidemia and obese woman presenting with resting angina. ECG and blood tests were consistent w...

Hemorrhagic Pericardial Cyst Mimicking Pleural Effusion

Maher Aljodi,Akram Abu Alfoli,Hasan Alnatsheh,Ahmed Juneidi,Hind Neiroukh
This case report describes a rare hemorrhagic pericardial cyst in a 19-year-old male who presented with pleural effusion, chest pain, and dyspnea. Imaging studies, including echocardiography and chest computed tomography, revealed a pericardial cyst with significant effusion. The patient underwent thoracotomy for cyst removal and drainage, with histopathological analysis confirming the cyst’s benign nature. Postoperative recovery was uneventful, with resolution of symptoms and no recurrence at t...

Omega-3 Fish Oil Safety and Efficacy for Cardiac Patients

Loiy Arabiyat,Luna AL-Zioud,Heba Arabiat,Aya Arabiyat,Merna AL-Zioud
Eicosapentaenoic acid [EPA] and docosahexaenoic acid [DHA] and other omega-3 fatty acids have been extensively studied for their cardiovascular importance. They have anti-inflammatory, antiarrhythmic, and lipid-modulating properties. Omega-3 supplementation has been intensely studied for its effect on cardiac health in relation to its efficacy and safety in preventing cardiac events. Insights into its benefits and associated risks, in particular, are based on randomized controlled trials and sys...

Prevalence and Associated Factors of Cardiac Autonomic Neuropathy Among Diabetic Patients at Bugando Medical Centre, Mwanza, Tanzania

Sabrina Sven Kumlin,Samuel Elias Kalluvya,Eva Mujuni
Introduction: DM has been implicated with multiple complications including diabetic cardiac autonomic neuropathy (DCAN), with a global burden ranging from 1% - 90% in type 1 DM and 20% - 73% in type 2 DM. Poor glycemic control, long duration of DM and traditional cardiovascular risk factors have been associated with the development and progression of DCAN. In Tanzania, there is limited data on DCAN burden and its associated factors. This study was conducted to raise awareness ab...

Elevated blood glucose levels are an indicator of diabetes, a chronic metabolic condition that can severely damage the body’s organs. The number of people with diabetes has shot up during the last few decades, with over 422 million people worldwide affected. Peripheral neuropathy is nerve damage that can result from various conditions, including diabetes and it is a common complication that can cause weakness, paresthesia, and discomfort in the hands and feet, among other symptoms. Early diagnos...

Calorie Restriction as a Risk Factor for Cardiovascular Disease in the Aged Population

Ifeoluwa Claudius Daramola,Olabode Aleshinloye,Joshua Eyitemi,Angioshuya Asinde,Nesta Bankejesu,Kenechi Unachukwu,Farah Mudhafar Fattah Algitagi,John Charles Chidozie Ifemeje
Caloric restriction (CR), a dietary approach that reduces calorie intake without causing malnutrition, has been shown to delay aging and extend lifespan in animals like invertebrates and rodents. Since cardiovascular disease and stroke are leading causes of death in older adults, using CR to slow down atherosclerosis could potentially improve cardiovascular health and increase human longevity. This review explores whether caloric restriction impacts the risk of cardiovascular disease in the aged...

MINOCA-Induced Ventricular Tachycardia Case Report: A Challenging Diagnosis

Ali Abdin,Alex Kamougeros,Efstratios Trogkanis
A 62-year-old patient, with no prior medical history, was presented with ventricular tachycardia and was ultimately diagnosed with MINOCA after extensive investigation. The underlying cause of her condition remains unclear, leading to an ad hoc management approach involving anti-platelet therapy and statins. This case underscores the imperative for future research to concentrate on tailored interventional and diagnostic approaches for MINOCA patients, enabling their universal application through...
