Concomitant Presentation With Cardioembolic Ischemic Stroke And Non St Elevation Myocardial Infarction In A Patient With New Onset Atrial Fibrillation, Amogh M. Joshi Do, Emilee E. Kurtz Do, Kourtney Erickson Do, Margaret R. Kluck Do, Benjamin Sanchez Md

Department of Medicine

Introduction: Although Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common cause of ischemic stroke, it rarely causes acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Cardioembolic events from AF cause considerable morbidity and mortality. Concomitant ischemic stroke and ACS remains an exceedingly rare event. We describe the case of a patient presenting with cardioembolic ischemic stroke and acute coronary syndrome.

Case Presentation: An 83 year old male with a prior history of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction, permanent pacemaker for complete heart block, and chronic kidney disease on hemodialysis presented with acute left sided facial and extremity weakness, gait ataxia and profound dysarthria. Physical examination …

Department of Medicine

Introduction: The treatment of long standing persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) is very challenging and conventional catheter ablation strategies have provided only modest success. They often require multiple procedures and anti-arrhythmics to maintain sinus rhythm. The convergent ablation procedure is a hybrid approach, involving a minimally invasive epicardial ablation combined with a traditional transvenous endocardial ablation.

Hypothesis: Convergent ablation is an overall safe and effective procedure for the treatment of long standing persistent AF.

Methods: From February 2015 to September 2017, 30 patient (20 males) with long standing persistent AF underwent convergent ablation at a large tertiary care center. Rest of …

Large Coronary Arteries Mean No Chance Of A Heart Attack, Right? An Acute Myocardial Infarction In The Setting Of Holding Anticoagulation For A Routine Colonoscopy, Nathan Brewster Do, Jennifer Nesfeder, Ryan Murphy Do, Brian J. Holahan, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari Apr 2019

Large Coronary Arteries Mean No Chance Of A Heart Attack, Right? An Acute Myocardial Infarction In The Setting Of Holding Anticoagulation For A Routine Colonoscopy, Nathan Brewster Do, Jennifer Nesfeder, Ryan Murphy Do, Brian J. Holahan, Syed Rafay Ali Sabzwari

Department of Medicine

Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is an uncommon pathology, which is sometimes incidentally found on left heart catheterization (LHC). CAE is occasionally treated with systemic anticoagulation to prevent thrombosis or progression of the clot in the coronary arteries. We present a 63-year-old male with known CAE on warfarin who presented to the hospital with myocardial infarction after a routine colonoscopy for which anticoagulation was held. His myocardial infarction was attributed to a likely coronary thromboembolic event. This case highlights the need for consideration of bridging anticoagulation therapy before and after procedures in patients with CAE to prevent adverse coronary events.

Atrial Myxoma Presenting With Palpitations: A Case Report, George Prousi Md, Joseph Moran Do, Ross Biggs Do Feb 2019

Atrial Myxoma Presenting With Palpitations: A Case Report, George Prousi Md, Joseph Moran Do, Ross Biggs Do

Department of Medicine

Abstract

Atrial myxomas are a rare phenomenon and although benign, primary neoplasms of the heart can be burdensome depending on their location. Clinical symptoms are caused through a variety of mechanisms including conduction disturbances, obstruction, and valvular interference. Size and symptom development are strongly correlated and can almost always be detected by the use of echocardiography, magnetic resonance imaging or computed tomography. This is a case of a 62-year-old female with no significant past medical history presented to our facility with complaints of palpitations and associated dizziness for three months.

Introduction

Atrial myxomas are the most common benign primary neoplasm …
