ABSTRACT

Congenital coronary ostial stenosis or atresia (COSA) is a spectrum of rare developmental conditions with different pathophysiologic mechanisms and clinical implications. Although COSA includes various entities, these entities have two features in common. First the defect is congenital, although it may progress during pre-natal and post natal life. Second the developmental defect may cause ostial or proximal coronary obstruction (that is stenosis or atresia). Coronary ostial stenosis or atresia affects the left coronary (L-COSA) more frequently than it does the right coronary artery. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is not an uncommon disease in young female, but combination of congenital coronary ostial stenosis with systemic lupus erythematosus make the case very rarer. Here we presented A 17 years old girl got admitted to Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University, Bangladesh for evaluation of on and off chest pain of CCS-III to CCS-IV for 1 day on 17 September 2019.

ABSTRACT

Ventricular septal rupture (VSR) is an uncommon but lethal complication of acute myocardial infarction (MI). Although early surgical closure is the treatment of choice, hospital mortality after emergency surgery remains high. Transcatheter closure of post myocardial infarction ventricular septal defect (PIVSD) has emerged as a potential treatment option in selected cases. Herein, we report a case present in AFC Health FORTIS Heart Institute, Khulna, Bangladesh on 10 February 2017 of sub acute post-MI VSR that was successfully closed using an Amplatzerseptal occlude (ASD) device. The patient had undergone primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) 15 days earlier in the setting of acute MI.

ABSTRACT

Ischaemic cardiomyopathy (ICM) remains a major health problem, both in developed and developing countries like Bangladesh where it causes a significant number of morbidity and mortality. The treatment and outcome of ICM chiefly depends on the presence and extent of hibernating myocardium. In this regard addressing anginal symptoms is the key to patients' comfort as well to achieving the goal of treatment. Glyceryl trinitrate (GTN) and trimetazidine (TMZ) are two widely used drugs for relieving angina. This pilot study was designed to answer some of the confusions and controversies regarding their use and to bring precision in decision making in the treatment of ICM. Here, comparison of GTN and trimetazidine were done by assessing the symptoms by NYHA and CCS class following their use in ICM patients, admitted in Bangabandhu Sheikh Mujib Medical University (BSMMU), Dhaka, Bangladesh from 15th October, 2015 to 15th April, 2016, who were randomly placed in two groups in a prospective manner. Most of the patients were in age group 51-60 years and were male in both the groups. It was observed that there was no significant difference in NYHA and CCS class at base line and at discharge between two groups (p>0.05). But statistically significant (p<0.05), improvement noted at 6 weeks and 12 weeks in GTN group in comparison to trimetazidine group. GTN stood out to be a better option than TMZ in the treatment of ICM. Moreover GTN is a cheaper option than TMZ.
