From the Right Coronary Artery: A Case Report
ABSTRACT: Dual left anterior descending coronary artery (LAD) originating from the left main stem and the right coronary artery (RCA) (Type IV dual LAD) is a very rare coronary artery anomaly. Association of this anomaly with the anomalous origin of the circumflex artery from the RCA is a very rare occurrence. In this report, we describe a patient presenting with acute lateral wall myocardial infarction who subsequently was found to have this coronary anomaly.

ABSTRACT: The TandemHeart® is a percutaneous ventricular assist device that has been approved to provide hemodynamic support in high-risk patients undergoing cardiac procedures, including percutaneous coronary interventions and aortic balloon valvuloplasty. Limited data exists for its role in stabilizing cardiogenic shock secondary to prosthetic valve dysfunction. In conclusion, we report the first case, to our knowledge, of profound cardiogenic shock secondary to an acutely thrombosed mechanical mitral valve in which the use of the TandemHeart was instrumental in rescuing a critically ill yo

ABSTRACT: Catecholamine-induced cardiomyopathy has been recognized for decades. We present the case of a 21-year-old female referred for an electrophysiologic (EP) study who underwent an infusion of isoproterenol and epinephrine in an attempt to unmask an ectopic atrial tachycardia. Prior to leaving the study suite, the patient started complaining of chest pain and shortness of breath. Bedside echocardiography revealed a severely depressed left ventricular ejection fraction (EF) of 25–30% with basal-mid left ventricular cavity hypokinesis, but normal apical wall motion. Her coronary angiogra
