Infarct acute miocardic

BACKGROUND: Acute myocarditis frequently mimics an acute myocardial infarction, and its diagnosis is a clinical challenge. AIM: To describe the characteristics of cardiac magnetic resonance imaging in patients with acute myocarditis hospitalized with a diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: Twenty-four patients aged 33 ± 11 years (21 men) with a definitive diagnosis of acute myocarditis hospitalized with a presumptive diagnosis of ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction, in whom a coronary angiogram excluded significant atherosclerotic coronary lesions, were included...

Aim      Despite the regular heart damage in patients with coronavirus pneumonia caused by SARS-Cov-2, a possibility of developing lymphocytic myocarditis as a part of COVID-19 remains unsubstantiated. The aim of this study was to demonstrate a possibility of lymphocytic myocarditis and to study its morphological features in patients with the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19) with a severe course.Material and methods   Postmortem data were studied for 5 elderly patients (74...

La granulomatosis con poliangeítis es una vasculitis de pequeños vasos asociada a la presencia de anticuerpos anticitoplasma de neutrófilos, con manifestaciones cardíacas que son poco frecuentes, como pericarditis, miocarditis, arteritis coronaria y enfermedad valvular. Reportamos el caso de un paciente de 49 años con reciente diagnóstico de granulomatosis con poliangeítis, quien presentó infarto agudo del miocardio. Se consideró la actividad de la enfermedad como causa del infarto...

The authors present the study of four children that manifested asymmetric hemiparesis with sudden onset, without consciousness loss. The diagnosis of striatocapsular infarction was confirmed by computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The clinical and neurological examination, and laboratorial results are discussed. Familial history of migraine was found in two of the patients. Migraine was diagnosed in two, mild head trauma, viral miocarditis and mitral valve prolapse in one. Left hemiparesis, with brachiofacial features in three, and brachial in one...
