Kardiomiopatia przerostowa z koniuszkowym tętniakiem lewej komory

We present a case of 68 year-old woman with previously diagnosed hypertrophic cardiomyopathy complaining of progressive dyspnoe after the acute coronary syndrome. The echocardiogram confirmed hypertrophic hypertrophy and revealed an aneurysm in the apical portion of the left ventricle (LV). The Doppler-echocardiography showed two intra-LV gradients: midventricular and subaortic, with systolic anterior motion of anterior mitral leaflet. Kardiol Pol 2011; 69, 9: 963–96

Coronary-cameral fistulae drained into left ventricle causing acute coronary syndrome?

Coronary-cameral fistulae are rare and predominantly congenital communication between the coronary arterial circulation and the chambers or great vessels of the heart, accounted for less than 0.4% of all congenital heart abnormalities. We presented a case of 47 year-old female with troponin positive acute coronary syndrome admitted to our coronary care unit in whom we diagnosed coronary-cameral fistulae which could cause myocardial ischaemia.
