ABSTRACT

We report the case of a 50-year-old woman with secondary oxalosis following bowel resection resulting in restrictive cardiomyopathy and a diagnosis of cardiac amyloidosis based on the initial workup. The case documented findings by cardiac magnetic resonance imaging and technetium Tc 99m-labeled pyrophosphate scan in patients with cardiac oxalosis, which can mimic findings in cardiac amyloidosis, expanding the differential diagnosis.

ABSTRACT

Regular electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring in patients with endocarditis of the aortic region is a simple yet effective approach to help evaluate for the development of aortic abscess. It is important to recognize this condition as it carries a high morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 62-year-old Caucasian female diagnosed with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) bacteremia with mitral and aortic endocarditis. Progressive PR prolongation prompted re-evaluation, ultimately finding the progression of a new aortic abscess, changing the patient's care pathway. With a standardized approach of obtaining regular ECGs in patients with aortic endocarditis, it is possible to identify the progression of aortic valve endocarditis, thereby lowering the risk of morbidity and mortality.
