He also has concomitant WNV meningoencephalitis due to his altered mentation. He was found to have a positive serum WNV IgM suggestive of a diagnosis of WNV myocarditis. He was intubated and was placed on vasoactive pressors for supportive care due to evidence of mixed cardiogenic and septic shock. After two weeks of hemodynamic support, we discovered a near-complete cardiac recovery, as shown on a repeat transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and a normalized mean arterial blood pressure. This is a unique case report because near fatality is often associated with WNV myocarditis secondary to tachyarrhythmia, and there are currently no documented cases that are suggestive of cardiac recovery from the current literature.","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"8517728"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9534694/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33497370","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pericardial decompression syndrome (PDS) is a rare fatal complication that may occur after pericardiocentesis. Case Presentation. We report a case of a patient with idiopathic primary pulmonary hypertension who presented with massive pericardial effusion complicated with rapid hemodynamic and respiratory deterioration. Gradual therapeutic pericardiocentesis was done but progressive circulatory collapse occurred. Emergent veno-arterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) was applied. Echocardiography revealed severe right ventricle failure. Unfortunately, the patient developed acute progressive thrombocytopenia and bilaterally diffuse subarachnoid hemorrhage after 4 days of ECMO support.Conclusions: Therapeutic pericardiocentesis can be occasionally fatal in cases of significant pulmonary hypertension with massive pericardial effusion when complicated by pericardial decompression syndrome.

Pericardial tamponade is a known life-threatening condition rarely reported in COVID-19 but has not been reported following asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Its pathomechanism is still elusive. Case Summary. We report the case of a 66-year-old man with progressive shortness of breath and leg swelling due to new-onset heart failure and pericardial tamponade following asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection. Ultrasound-guided placement of a pericardial drainage led to significant improvement of symptoms and revealed an exudative effusion. Throughout the diagnostic process, we were confronted with a systemic inflammatory syndrome suspicion of an induced autoimmune condition. After steroid pulse therapy and oral anticoagulation for subclavian vein thrombosis, the patient was discharged and followed in our outpatient clinic. Discussion. Patients with asymptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection are at risk for developing life-threatening complications. Induced autoimmune conditions could be a potential explanation for late-onset pericardial tamponade in this population. A multimodal imaging approach is crucial in the diagnosis and characterization of cardiac inflammation. An interdisciplinary approach is essential. Awareness of uncommon cardiac complications following a SARS-CoV-2 infection is crucial for the initial assessment and the appropriate treatment of these patients.","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"1332844"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-09-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9553720/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33513944","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This retrospective case series examined outcomes of 2 patients who were admitted for repeated implantable cardioverter-defibrillator shocks with or without syncope and observed to have VT/VF storms with COVID-19. Mechanisms of VT/VF storms in COVID-19 are multifactorial including myocarditis, systemic inflammation, hyperadrenergic state, hemodynamic instability, hypoxia, acidosis, and proarrhythmic drugs. A higher incidence of VT/VF storm is observed in patients with comorbidities and those requiring critical care, with some studies reporting increased mortality. In our cohort, 1 of the 2 patients succumbed to the complications from COVID-19, and the other patient was discharged to home in stable condition. Monitoring of life-threatening arrhythmias in the setting of COVID-19 may need to be adopted to prevent morbidity and mortality.","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"1157728"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9410984/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33441955","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Extensive noninvasive workup consisted of ECG, transthoracic echocardiogram, and cardiac MRI/MRA, which were all nondiagnostic. She was ultimately referred for cardiac catheterization. Baseline invasive hemodynamics demonstrated a normal cardiac index and pulmonary vascular resistance but was notable for mildly elevated right and left end-diastolic pressures. A diagnosis remained elusive, so a 500 mL volume challenge was performed, which unmasked right and left ventricular waveform transformations to reveal the pathognomonic \"square root sign\" of restrictive cardiomyopathy with concordant RV/LV respirophasic variation. These findings and her clinical history allowed for the rare pediatric diagnosis of restrictive cardiomyopathy early in her clinical course, prior to the development of overt signs of pathologic myocardial remodeling, such as pulmonary hypertension and biatrial enlargement.","PeriodicalId":51760,"journal":{"name":"Case Reports in Cardiology","volume":" ","pages":"4707309"},"PeriodicalIF":0.6,"publicationDate":"2022-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC9402386/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"33441956","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
