Acute myocardial infarction caused by an anomalous left main coronary artery in a 16-year-old boy

SummaryA variety of structural cardiovascular abnormalities have been implicated in deaths of athletes, particularly congenital coronary arteries of anomalous origin, which are rare but major causes of myocardial ischemia and sudden death in young people. We present here the case of a rare congenital coronary artery anomaly in a 16-year-old boy who suffered from acute myocardial infarction due to occlusion of the left main trunk coronary artery, providing specific intravascular ultrasound findings for this anomaly

A case of successful catheter ablation of blocked atrial bigeminy and bradycardia with the recovery of normal sinus rhythm and myocardial reverse remodeling

Abstract A 69‐year‐old man presented bradycardia with a constant blocked atrial bigeminy and heart failure. Successful catheter ablation of blocked atrial bigeminy with bradycardia resulted in myocardial reverse remodeling and restoration of the normal sinus rhythm from the ectopic atrial rhythm
