Mitral regurgitation after anthracycline exposure: a case report
We report the case of a 66-year-old African American female with a history of breast cancer previously treated with anthracycline based chemotherapy presenting with significant mitral regurgitation. She initially had preserved left ventricular systolic function with normal cardiac chamber dimensions, however, she developed progressive left ventricular chamber dilation and mild reduction in systolic function, which prompted surgical correction of her mitral regurgitation. After surgical mitral valve repair, she developed overt left ventricular failure with severe systolic dysfunction; however, she responded well to subsequent medical therapy
Case Report Internal Jugular Venous Pseudoaneurysm in a Patient with Heart Failure and Severe Tricuspid Regurgitation
The differential diagnosis of a lateral neck mass includes a number of possible etiologies. While jugular venous aneurysms and pseudoaneurysms are rare entities, they should be considered in the differential diagnosis of a pulsatile lateral neck mass. We present a case of an idiopathic jugular venous pseudoaneurysm and its association with worsening tricuspid regurgitation in a patient with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction
