Rheumatic mitral valve disease with left atrial myxoma: Unexpected encounter.

ABSTRACT: Rheumatic mitral stenosis associated with left atrial myxoma has been reported previously. We reported an admitted rare case of rheumatic mitral regurgitation with left atrial myxoma. The discrimination between left atrial myxoma and thrombi presents a diagnostic challenge in the presence of rheumatic mitral valve disease.

Left atrial myxoma causing near‐total mitral valve obstruction

Project description:Abstract Cardiac myxomas are the most common primary cardiac tumors in adults, with the left atrium being the most frequently affected. Echocardiography is the diagnostic modality of choice. The most effective treatment for cardiac myxomas is surgical excision. We present a clinical video of a large left atrial myxoma causing mitral valve obstruction, highlighting the importance of echocardiography as a diagnostic modality to facilitate referral to a tertiary center.

The elusive cause of syncope: Left atrial myxoma with mitral valve obstruction.

Project description:Key clinical messageSyncopal patients should be evaluated for cardiac causes, including myxoma, as highlighted in this case. Transthoracic echocardiography and coronary angiography are valuable diagnostic tools. Interventional cardiology plays a crucial role in the successful treatment of myxoma.AbstractThis case video describes the presentation and successful treatment of a 58-year-old woman who experienced recurrent episodes of syncope. After ruling out other health concerns, a pulmonary embolism was suspected and further investigations revealed a mass in the left atrium causing significant obstruction of the mitral valve. The mass, identified as a neovascularized myxoma, was successfully resected, emphasizing the significance of considering myxoma as a potential cause of syncope and highlighting the role of interventional cardiology in its management.

Multiple coronary fistula formation associated with a huge left atrial thrombus in rheumatic mitral valve stenosis.

Project description:Acquired fistulous communication with the left atrial (LA) chamber has been described in the presence of LA mural thrombus in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis (MS). Hereby, we present the case of a 74-year-old man with rheumatic MS and a huge LA thrombus found in echocardiography. Coronary angiography revealed an extensive fistula formation feeding mainly from the atrial branches of left circumflex and right coronary arteries and draining into the LA chamber. Moreover, left anterior descending (LAD) and right coronary arteries had slow flow with regional wall motion abnormality in the LAD territory and left ventricular ejection fraction of 35% in echocardiography. <Learning objective: This is a unique case of neovascular formation in terms of number and extent of the fistulous connections. It appears that angiographic evidence of neovascularity and fistula formation in patients with rheumatic mitral stenosis is a highly specific sign for the presence of left atrial thrombus.>.

Differences in atrial fibrillation‑associated proteins between the left and right atrial appendages from patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease: A comparative proteomic analysis.

Project description:The majority of proteomic studies have focused on identifying atrial fibrillation (AF)-associated proteins in the right atrium (RA), thus potential differences in AF‑associated proteins between the RA and left atrium (LA) remain unknown. The aim of the present study was to perform proteomic analysis to compare the potential differences in AF‑associated proteins between the right atrial appendage (RAA) and left atrial appendage (LAA) in patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease (RMVD). RAA and LAA tissues were obtained from 18 patients with RMVD (10 with AF) during mitral valve replacement surgery. Two‑dimensional fluorescence difference gel electrophoresis (2‑D DIGE) proteomics analysis was performed using these tissues to identify AF‑associated proteins in RAA and LAA. Subsequently, the proteomics data was validated using western blot analysis of nine selected proteins. In RAA, 32 AF‑associated proteins were significantly dysregulated (15 upregulated and 17 downregulated). In LAA, 31 AF‑associated proteins were significantly dysregulated (13 upregulated and 18 downregulated). Among these AF‑associated proteins, 17 were AF‑associated in both RAA and LAA, 15 were AF‑associated only in RAA, and 14 were AF‑associated only in LAA. Amongst the differentially expressed proteins, western blot analysis validated the results for 6 AF‑associated proteins, and demonstrated similar distributions in RAA and LAA compared with the 2‑D DIGE results. Of these proteins, 2 proteins were AF‑associated in both RAA and LAA, 2 were AF‑associated only in RAA, and 2 were AF‑associated only in LAA. Additionally, the different distributions of AF‑associated proteins in the RAA and LAA of patients with RMVD was analyzed, which may reflect the different regulatory mechanisms of the RA and LA in AF. These findings may provide new insights into the underlying molecular mechanisms of AF in patients with RMVD.

Comparative expression profiles of microRNA in left and right atrial appendages from patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease exhibiting sinus rhythm or atrial fibrillation.

Project description:BackgroundThe atrial fibrillation (AF) associated microRNAs (miRNAs) were found in the right atrium (RA) and left atrium (LA) from patients with rheumatic mitral valve disease (RMVD). However, most studies only focus on the RA; and the potential differences of AF-associated miRNAs between the RA and LA are still unknown. The aim of this study was to perform miRNA expression profiles analysis to compare the potential differences of AF-associated miRNAs in the right atrial appendages (RAA) and left atrial appendages (LAA) from RMVD patients.MethodsSamples tissues from the RAA and LAA were obtained from 18 RMVD patients (10 with AF) during mitral valve replacement surgery. From these tissues, miRNA expression profiles were created and analyzed using a human miRNA microarray. Then, the results were validated using qRT-PCR analysis for 12 selected miRNAs. Finally, potential targets of 10 validated miRNAs were predicted and their functions and potential pathways were analyzed using the miRFocus database.ResultsIn RAA, 65 AF-associated miRNAs were found and significantly dysregulated (i.e. 28 miRNAs were up-regulated and 37 were down-regulated). In LAA, 42 AF-associated miRNAs were found and significantly dysregulated (i.e. 22 miRNAs were up-regulated and 20 were down-regulated). Among these AF-associated miRNAs, 23 of them were found in both RAA and LAA, 45 of them were found only in RAA, and 19 of them were found only in LAA. Finally, 10 AF-associated miRNAs validated by qRT-PCR were similarly distributed in RAA and LAA; 3 were found in both RAA and LAA, 5 were found only in RAA, and 2 were found only in LAA. Potential miRNA targets and molecular pathways were identified.ConclusionsWe have found the different distributions of AF-associated miRNAs in the RAA and LAA from RMVD patients. This may reflect different miRNA mechanisms in AF between the RA and LA. These findings may provide new insights into the underlying mechanisms of AF in RMVD patients.
