We describe an adult patient who presented with purulent pericarditis in whom two-dimensional transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated a marked decrease in the area of the right ventricular wall together with the overlying fibrin following intrapericardial administration of a fibrinolytic agent. Documentation of this decrease by measurements performed and illustrated on two-dimensional images have not been reported previously in an adult patient with purulent pericarditis, to the best of our knowledge.

A 17-year-old boy presented with facial puffiness and swelling in the lower limbs for 6 months and one episode of syncope 15 days earlier. Transthoracic echocardiography showed a dilated right atrium and right ventricle with right ventricular systolic dysfunction. The free wall of the right ventricle was thinned out and devoid of myocardium and trabeculations. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed an extremely dilated thin-walled right ventricle and absence of trabeculations, with no fat signal in the right ventricular wall, in contrast to that seen in arrhythmogenic ventricular dysplasia, which confirmed the diagnosis of Uhl’s anomaly.

Cardiac Rhabdomyosarcoma

A seven-year-old domestic shorthair (DSH) cat was presented with anorexia and dyspnea. Pleural-pericardial effusion was detected with thoracic radiographs and echocardiography. Echocardiography demonstrated a large, soft-tissue mass in the right ventricular wall, protruding both into the pericardial space and into the right ventricle. Postmortem examination findings included a large mass in the right ventricular wall and multiple smaller masses on the external surface of the left ventricle and on the internal surface of the pericardium. Results of the histopathological and immunohistochemical examinations of the masses were consistent with rhabdomyosarcoma. This is the first reported case of primary cardiac rhabdomyosarcoma in the cat.

Hydatid cyst is a serious endemic parasitic disease found in cattle-raising areas of the world. Cardiac hydatid cysts are rare and appear in 0.5% to 2% of hydatid cyst cases. A 24-year-old male patient was admitted to the hospital because of chest pain. A cystic mass (4 4 3 cm) was demonstrated with transthoracic echocardiography, computed tomography, and magnetic resonance imaging. A hydatid cyst was located in the right ventricular wall near the inferior branch of the acute marginal branch of the right coronary artery and was located such that it pushed the tricuspid valve inward. The cystic materials were removed with the patient on cardiopulmonary bypass. The surgery for cardiac hydatid disease is safe, and the results are satisfactory.

Background: The cardiovascular system is significantly agitated by loss of gravity. In microgravity, the body fluids shift toward the thoracic cavity, induced the heart becomes more spherical. This further increased the cardiac preload with an increasing of transmural central venous pressure, affects the right heart ventricles to tolerating the enhanced preload on the right ventricular wall. Method: In this study we investigated the rat right ventricle remodeling in simulating persistent microgravity by using tail-suspension model, examined the remolding of the heart and the specific STAT3 expression in right heart myocardium. Result: The results indicated that microgravity induced heart remodeling included a significant increasing of the ventricular weight in the left. However, the right ventricle was not increased significantly in the microgravity simulation rats. The histological study demonstrated that the outstanding development on right ventricular wall which included the gap junction remodeling and STAT3 signaling protein specific accumulation in the right ventricles. Conclusion: The results existed that the right cardiac ventricle has a distinctive remodeling process during microgravity simulation which was not the muscular hypertrophy and relative weight increasing, but manifested the STAT3 accumulation and the electrical gap junction remodeling. The effect of microgravity induced right ventricle remodeling and the STAT3 specific accumulation can be used for multi-purpose research. Key words: Microgravity simulation; Right ventricle remodeling; Intercalated disc
