We report a rare case of CTEPH presenting with an aseptic cavitary pulmonary infarction, an unusual manifestation typically mimicking infection or malignancy. This case underscores the need for genetic screening in unexplained CTEPH, as thrombophilia workup in our case revealed a heterozygous Factor V Leiden mutation (an uncommon congenital risk factor

Cardioprotective effects of the extracellular chaperone clusterin in acute myocardial infarction
In vivo, CLU−/− mice were more susceptible to acute myocardial infarction than CLU+/+ mice. Moreover, inflammation and histone levels were significantly increased in CLU−/− mice compared to CLU+/+ mice following ischemia/reperfusion. In vitro, CLU protects cardiomyocytes from histone‐ and/or hypoxia‐induced cell death.
