Journal of Cardiothoracic SurgeryBackground Paradoxical embolism is a rare cause of acute arterial occlusion. This phenomenon arises when embolic material travels from the venous system crosses an abnormal shunt such as patent foramen ovale, atrial septal defects, ventricular septal ...

Isolated right ventricular infarction: a diagnostic challenge [PDF]
, 2016 A 73-year-old woman was admitted to the emergency room due to sudden-onset dyspnoea, altered mental status and haemodynamic instability. ECG showed a junctional rhythm, T-wave inversion in I, aVL and V2-V6 (present in a previous ECG), and no ST/T changes

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study identifies ESM1 as an endogenous anticoagulant that modulates venous thrombosis. It shows that ESM1 deficiency triggers vascular occlusion in zebrafish and mice, whereas its restoration or overexpression prolongs clot‐formation time. Mechanistic analyses reveal that ESM1 activates HCII through its dermatan‐sulfate chain, uncovering a ...

Complete Resolution of Right Atrial Free-floating Thrombus After Warfarin Therapy in Chemotherapy-induced Cardiomyopathy: a Case Report [PDF]
, 2016 Free-floating right heart thrombus is a rare phenomenon and has dismal rognosis. The optimal management of free-floating right thrombus remains controversial with no clear consensus. We present a case of right atrial free-floating thrombus in 56-year-old

Connexin43 Deficiency Leads to Ventricular Arrhythmias by Reprogramming Proline Metabolism
Advanced Science, EarlyView.The study demonstrated that connexin43 (Cx43) knockout caused arrhythmic phenotype and decreased proline content in vitro and in vivo. Mechanistically, Cx43 interacts with the amino acid transporter SNAT2 (sodium‐dependent neutral amino acid transporter), and its deficiency disrupts proline transport and metabolism.

Almost a Double Whammy! Acute Pulmonary Embolism and an Impending Paradoxical Embolism
Journal of the Indian Academy of Echocardiography & Cardiovascular ImagingPulmonary embolism (PE) is a relatively common cardiovascular disorder with high early mortality rates, despite advances in diagnosis and treatment. The risk of mortality is quite high in case the diagnosis is missed.
