Five chambered heart: case of a huge left atrial appendage aneurysm
We describe a rare case of a symptomatic giant congenital left atrial appendage aneurysm (LAAA) in a 26-year-old man presenting with neurologic event, in whom surgical resection of the aneurysm was successfully performed. (Source: Cardiovascular Pathology)

Coxiella burnetii endocarditis on bioprosthetic aortic valve, with peripheral arterial embolism
We report an original case of a 68-year-old man hospitalized for recurrent acute left limb ischemia in a context of atrial flutter, which revealed C. burnetii endocarditis. This case illustrates that even if embolic events are uncommon, septic embolisms must be systematically searched for in case of C. burnetii endocarditis. Conversely, extensive etiologic explorations must be performed in case of systemic embolism. New molecular techniques represent a major step forward in infective endocarditis diagnosis.

Increased Calcific Aortic Valve Disease in response to a diabetogenic, procalcific diet in the LDLr-/-ApoB100/100 mouse model
Calcific aortic valve disease (CAVD) is a major cause of aortic stenosis (AS) and cardiac insufficiency. Patients with type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM) are at heightened risk for CAVD, and their valves have greater calcification than nondiabetic valves. No drugs to prevent or treat CAVD exist, and animal models that might help identify therapeutic targets are sorely lacking. To develop an animal model mimicking the structural and functional features of CAVD in people with T2DM, we tested a diabetogenic, procalcific diet and its effect on the incidence and severity of CAVD and AS in the, LDLr-/-ApoB100/100 mouse model. (Sou...

Endomyocardial biopsy in differential diagnosis between arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy and dilated cardiomyopathy: an in vitro simulated study
Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) and dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM), despite being two dramatically different entities, have overlapping phenotypes. As it is easy to misdiagnose between ARVC and DCM, there is a need to establish a new differential diagnostic parameter to differentiate the two. We investigated the utility of endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) for the differential diagnosis, and our study had three aims. The first was to verify the EMB high diagnostic efficacy. The second was to investigate the EMB perforation risk at the right ventricle (RV) free wall of end-stage ARVC. (Source: Cardiovascular Pathology)

Immunophenotypic analysis of the chronological events of tissue repair in aortic medial dissections
Acute medial dissection of aorta can occur in the context of a sudden and unexpected death. For medico-legal reasons it is important to estimate as accurately the histological age of dissections. We evaluated the additional value of a systematic application of immunohistochemistry, compared with conventional histology only, in determining chronological steps of injury and repair. Thirty two paraffin embedded specimens of aortic dissection were retrospectively allocated to one of four defined stages: acute (I), subacute (II), early organizing (III) and scarring (IV) using Hematoxylin and Eosin and Elastica van Gieson staine...

Papillary muscles of right ventricle —morphological variations and its clinical relevance
Papillary muscle plays an important role in stabilizing the position of the tricuspid valve. Several pathologies can result in anatomical and functional abnormalities of the papillary muscles. The aim of the study is to deliberate the morphometry of papillary muscles in tricuspid valve and to analyze with the eminent research works previously done. (Source: Cardiovascular Pathology)
