Left ventricular non-compaction (LVNC) is a cardiomyopathy due to disturbances in the normal development of the heart muscle leading to the persistence of hypertrabeculation. Its incidence is more common in males. The most common clinical presentations at the time of the first di...
There is a need to search for an alternative form of therapy that will not only limit the disease but also overcome hindrances encountered with conventional medications used for the treatment of heart failure. There is a paucity of evidence on the effect of Heart failure reversal...

Left ventricular pseudoaneurysms are rare. They are usually form from a rupture of the myocardium contained by pericardial adhesions. Unlike true aneurysms, false aneurysms have a narrow neck and lack myocardial elements. They can be constituted spontaneously or acquired. We repo...
Introduction: Interventricular septal rupture occurring in the acute phase of a myocardial infarction is a rare complication, its incidence varies between 1 and 2%. We present the observation of two patients with myocardial infarction complicated by apical rupture of the interven...
Coronary artery aneurysm (CAA) is a rare coronary disease defined as a dilation of a coronary artery 1.5 times or more its normal size. It is often revealed by an acute myocardial infarction however sometimes it can be completely asymptomatic .Because of the relative rarity of t...

Vagal hyperactivity, which corresponds to excessive activity of the parasympathetic system, is a frequent cause of syncope, fainting and dizziness, hence the interest of exploring the autonomic nervous system (ANS) for confirmation. High-degree atrioventricular (AV) block in pati...
Problematic and Objectives: The incidence of coronary artery disease appears to be higher in men than in women. Nevertheless cardiovascular mortality is higher in women than in men. The objective of this study is to find if there are particular angiographic features that can expl...

Serpentine thrombus or snake like floating thrombus of the right-side cavities of the heart is a rare diagnosis. Its an extreme emergency, and is often fatal due to the migration of small thrombus which can completely obstruct the pulmonary trunk. Advanced cancer disease is one o...
Background: During routine coronary angiography we often come across coronary artery ectasia (CAE). Patients with coronary ectasia can present with acute coronary syndrome due to a large thrombus burden requiring emergency intervention or anticoagulation. Case: 56-year-old diabet...
