Less time spent being physically active and more calories consumed have been linked to an increased risk of developing chronic diseases such as diabetes. This resulted in obesity, which then contributed to the development of cardiovascular disease and other illnesses. According to the findings of this research, the main characteristics of chronic diseases are linked to the transition to modernity. These shifts in the composition of the community have been observed in more recent times in history. When viewed as a whole, changes in lifestyle are a contributing factor in the problem of rising disease rates and have the potential to be both part of the problem and part of the solution.","PeriodicalId":484263,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Case Reports and Medical History","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136113547","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to the infrequency of this condition, the most effective management approach has not been clearly established. Our study analyzed 14 cases with tuberculous pericarditis treated at Ibn Rochd Hospital in Casablanca over two years from 2020 to 2022. Methods: Medical records of tuberculous pericarditis patients were reviewed. Data on demographics, clinical presentation, diagnostic methods, and treatments were collected. Results were expressed in terms of frequencies, averages, and percentages. Results: The mean patient age was 37.7 years, with 64% males. Common symptoms included fever (50%), chest pain (57%), and dyspnea (92.8%). Clinical signs included right heart failure (35%) and muffled heart sounds (57%). ECG findings showed sinus tachycardia (71.4%) and low voltage (57%). Echocardiography revealed pericardial effusion (78%) and other abnormalities. Pericardial fluid was mostly citrine yellow (64%) and serohemorrhagic (36%). Adenosine deaminase was positive in 57% of cases. GeneXpert confirmed 71% of cases, while pericardial biopsy confirmed 29%. All received antitubercular treatment, with corticosteroids in three cases. In-hospital, 92% showed pericardial effusion regression, but one death due to tamponade occurred. Long term, 21% had effusion recurrence, and 35% transitioned to constrictive pericarditis. Conclusion: Tuberculous pericarditis presents diagnostic challenges. Clinical, radiological, and biological evidence is crucial for diagnosis. Antitubercular treatment is effective, but the risk of constrictive pericarditis remains high, necessitating further research into corticosteroid therapy's role in prevention.","PeriodicalId":484263,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Case Reports and Medical History","volume":"5 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-10-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"136211638","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We report the observation of a 57-year-old patient known to be type 2 diabetic under treatment, admitted with acute congestive heart failure. the paraclinical examinations carried out were in favor of inclusion body myositis complicated by heart failure and dilated cardiomyopathy, the patient was treated with boluses of corticosteroids and immunosuppressants as well as treatment of heart failure, this attitude has improved his symptoms as well as his quality of life.
