052: Left ventricular aneurysm after myocardial infarction

A 72-year-old male with recurrent syncope

“…Ventricular aneurysms after myocardial infarction occur due to weakened myocardium due to transmural tissue loss (incidence of approximately 7.6%)1 (see online supplement 1 and online supplementary video 1). Area of non-viable tissue of the aneurysm contributes to the poor ventricular function and patients are prone to ventricular arrhythmias and thromboembolism formation.…”

Aneurysms involving the coronary arteries in a neonate with neurofibromatosis 1

“…The estimated prevalence of ACAD in the general population is 0.0001% (Ruggieri et al, 2000), representing 0.35% of adult patients undergoing cardiac catheterization (Núñez-Gil et al, 2020). ACAD frequency in NF1 has not been determined but it is generally assumed as infrequent, since there are less than 20 reported cases (Bilsel et al, 2005;Daly & Rubinstein, 1992;Evrengul et al, 2013;Fuchi et al, 1997;Isabelle et al, 2020;Kandarpa et al, 1988;Kawakubo et al, 2020;Konig et al, 2021;Molina-Martin de Nicolas et al, 2015;Ouechtati et al, 2011;Pascual-Tejerina et al, 2019;Patel et al, 2020;Pontailler et al, 2015;Ruggieri et al, 2000;Smith et al, 2009;Tins et al, 2000;Trevelyan et al, 2001), three of which were diagnosed in adolescence, and all of the remaining until adulthood. Here, we describe the youngest identified patient with NF1 and ACAD diagnosed at birth, along with a review of the previously reported cases.…”
