1Heart tranplantation normal function

Heart tranplantation normal function

dec 20, 2017

Case: The following findings are typical after heart transplantation during follow up. The following patient is 70 years old and currently 10 years after an orthotopic heart transplantation (which he received after a large anteroseptal myocardial infarction in the past leading to chronic heart failure). He has no cardiac complaints an ischemia was ruled out recently […]

2Chemotherapy induced LV dysfunction – severe heart failure

Chemotherapy induced LV dysfunction – severe heart failure

dec 16, 2017

Case: 52-year old man who was diagnosed with a Diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in the neck in 2012. He received 8 times R-CHOP chemotherapy (including the potential cardiotoxic doxorubicin, and cyclophosphamide). Due to progression of disease he was subsequently treated with a DHAP-VIM-DHAP chemotherapy (including the potentially cardiotoxic chemotherapy ifosfamid) and underwent a bone marrow […]

3constrictive pericarditis

constrictive pericarditis

aug 1, 2017

Case The following case represents a 20 year old male with a known high cervical transverse lesion after an accident which left him wheelchair bound. He presented with a pneumonia which was complicated with a purulent pleuritis and a purulent pericarditis. He was treated with broad spectrum antibiotics. The pericardial exudate (empyema) was not evacuated […]

4Myocarditis case 1

Myocarditis case 1

jul 12, 2017

Case 1 Patient with myocarditis. Severe global LV dysfunction in combination with troponin release following a clinical episode of upper tract respiratory infection.   Conventional ultrasound LVEF of 20% due to global LV hypokinesia. See images below     Deformation imaging Deformation imaging showed marked regional abnormalities with clear reduction of peak systolic strain in […]

5Sarcoidosis case 2

Sarcoidosis case 2

okt 19, 2016

Case: 50 year old man known at our institution since 2012. He initially presented with an out of hospital cardiac arrest based on ventricular fibrillation. Coronary angiography was completely normal and ultrasound showed a normal LV function with hypokinesia in the inferior wall. CMR at the time of presentation showed a focal epicardial spot of […]

6Sarcoidosis case 1

Sarcoidosis case 1

okt 19, 2016

Case: 33 year old man who presented with an ischemic stroke. There was a complete neurological recovery after thrombolysis. The ECG was abnormal with pathological Q-waves in the anterior lead and ST elevations. The echocardiographic examination is shown below. This shows clear wall motion abnormalities in the apex and midventricular region of the  posterolateral wall. […]

7Pericarditis: case 2

Pericarditis: case 2

sep 5, 2016

Case The following case demonstrates a patient with recurrent episodes of pericarditis. Deformation imaging reveals a potential early sign of constriction. A 50-year old man, known with recurrent pleuritis was sent to the outpatient clinic. The last episodes of his pleuritis were associated with pleural effusion and complaints fitting with a pericarditis. Initial echocardiographic examinations […]

8Tako Tsubo Cardiomyopathy: conventional

Tako Tsubo Cardiomyopathy: conventional

apr 28, 2016

Case The presented case involves a 68-year old woman with a blank medical history despite chronic back complaints. For this she was put on pain-killers. After the first dose she developed a severe allergic reaction for which intramuscular adrenaline was administered. Shortly afterwards she complained of chest discomfort. The ECG on the emergency room showed […]

9Pericarditis

Pericarditis

apr 23, 2016

Case The following case shows the typical findings on deformation imaging known with this disorder. We present a 30 year old male who was presented to the emergency department with clinical signs of a cardiac tamponade, which was confirmed by ultrasound. After pericardialcynthesis, clinical signs improved. All additional testing for the cause of this effusion […]

10Tako Tsubo Cardiomyopathy: Mid ventricular

Tako Tsubo Cardiomyopathy: Mid ventricular

apr 23, 2016

Case:   The presented case is a 50 year old female without known medical history. She was presented on the E.R. with acute chest pain and dyspnea. The ECG showed ST elevations suggestive of an anterior wall myocardial infarction. An emergency angiography revealed normal coronary arteries and no occlusions. Conventional ultrasound: We performed an ultrasound […]
