Isolated First Septal Perforator Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection Causing Acute Myocardial Infarction

R Karlsson, John Birrane, Rory O’Hanlon, Andrew O. Maree

BACKGROUND: Isolated spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) of the first septal perforator (S1) is rare. CASE SUMMARY: A 48-year-old man presented with chest pain after physical exertion. Coronary angiography demonstrated type 1 SCAD confined to S1. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) confirmed a …

Multi-Modality Imaging for Accurate Valvular Lesion Diagnosis: A Case Report of Catastrophic Outcomes From Unrecognized Severe Aortic Regurgitation

Philip Nolan, Bridog Nic Aodhabhui, Rory O’Hanlon, Briain D. MacNeill

Aortic regurgitation (AR) can be difficult to accurately quantify on echocardiography alone, potentially leading to erroneous grading. A 52-year-old male presented following resuscitation after an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. He had been followed in the cardiology outpatient clinic for a number of years …

Cardiovascular magnetic resonance predictors of heart failure in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: the role of myocardial replacement fibrosis and the microcirculation

Claire E. Raphael, Frances Mitchell, Gajen Kanaganayagam, Alphonsus Liew et autres

INTRODUCTION: Heart failure (HF) in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is associated with high morbidity and mortality. Predictors of HF, in particular the role of myocardial fibrosis and microvascular ischemia remain unclear. We assessed the predictive value of cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) for development …

Pericardiocentesis in cardiac tamponade: A case for “Less is More”

M Imran Khan, Rory O’Hanlon

Introduction: Cardiac tamponade could be a life-threatening condition and immediate pericardiocentesis is the treatment of choice. Acute decompensated heart failure as a complication of pericardiocentesis is less well known. Understanding the pathophysiology of cardiac tamponade may give clues to understanding the etiology …

1411The effect of eplerenone on fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. A randomised controlled trial assessed using cardiopulmonary exercise testing and cardiovascular magnetic resonance

Yousaf Bhatti, Rory O’Hanlon, Tevfik F. Ismail, Dudley J. Pennell et autres

Abstract Background Recent studies have implicated aldosterone, a hormone of the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system to cardiac hypertrophy, and cardiac and vascular fibrosis in cardiomyopathy. High levels of circulating aldosterone have been shown to cause myocardial and aortic fibrosis in animal models. In humans, …

1 Pictorial evolution of focal myocardial fibrosis in duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD)

Mark Connolly, Anna M. Fallon, Rory O’Hanlon, Deirdre Waterhouse

Introduction Interstitial myocardial fibrosis is best detected and quantified by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). It may be accurately detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) and T1 relaxation mapping. Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is an X-linked recessive disease that occurs in males leading …
