Percutaneous extracorporeal life support (P-ECLS) is a useful modality for the management of refractory cardiac or pulmonary failure. However, venoarterial P-ECLS may result in a complication of left ventricular distension. In this case report, we discuss a patient with drug-induced dilated cardiomyopathy managed with venoarterial P-ECLS and a left atrial vent catheter. The venoarterial P-ECLS was modified to a paracorporeal left ventricular assist device (LVAD) by removing the femoral venous cannula. After 28 days of hospitalization, the patient was successfully weaned from the paracorporeal LVAD and discharged home from the hospital.

근래 용혈요독증후군의 신외 증상에 대한 인식이 점점 더 증가하고 있으며 이환률과 사망률의 주요 결정인자가 되고 있다. 용혈요독증후군 환자의 심장동맥순환계에서 미소혈전이 발견되는 일은 흔하지만 실제 임상적으로 명백하게 발현하는 폐 혹은 심장 합병증은 흔하지 않다. 저자들은 용혈요독증후군으로 치료 받던 10개월 영아에서 폐출혈, 급성호흡곤란증후군, 확장심근병증 등이 발생하여 지지요법 후 회복된 1례를 경험하여 문헌고찰과 함께 보고하는 바이다.

Altered intracellular $Ca^{2＋}$ homeostasis is presumably the primary mechanism of the diastolic impairment in diabetic cardiomyopathy. However, causal relations of numerous environmental changes observed in the diabetic heart have been left unresolved. In the present study, we sought to establish an in vitro model of diabetic cardiomyopathy using H9c2 cardiac myocyte cell line.(omitted)

This is a report of a biatrial cardiac myxoma in a young man with a 10-month history of exertional dyspnea and palpitation. The echocardiogram revealed biatrial myxoma prolapsing through the mitral and tricuspid valves during diastole. All cardiac chambers were enlarged and dysfunctional. The electrocardiogram revealed a rapid ventricular response with atrial flutter rhythm. The masses were resected and diagnosed as myxoma by a histological examination. The follow-up echocardiogram revealed significant improvement in ventricular function and reduction in the cardiac chambers' volume. There was no evidence of myxoma recurrence. The most probable cause of the patient's heart failure was considered to be tachycardia-induced cardiomyopathy.

Diabetic cardiomyopathy (DCM), a serious complication of diabetes mellitus, is associated with changes in myocardial structure and function. This study sought to explore the ability of insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) to modulate DCM and its related mechanisms. Twenty-four male Wistar rats were injected with streptozotocin (STZ, 60 mg/kg) to mimic diabetes mellitus. Myocardial fibrosis and apoptosis were evaluated by histopathologic analyses, and relevant proteins were analyzed by Western blotting. Inflammatory factors were assessed by ELISA. Markers of oxidative stress were tested by colorimetric analysis. Rats with DCM displayed decreased body weight, metabolic abnormalities, elevated apoptosis (as assessed by the bcl-2/bax ratio and TUNEL assays), increased fibrosis, increased markers of oxidative stress (MDA and SOD) and inflammatory factors (TNF-${\alpha}$ and IL-$1{\beta}$), and decreased phosphorylation of Akt and glycogen synthase kinase (GSK-$3{\beta}$). IGF-1 treatment, however, attenuated the metabolic abnormalities and myocardial apoptosis, interstitial fibrosis, oxidative stress and inflammation seen in diabetic rats, while also increasing the phosphorylation levels of Akt and GSK-$3{\beta}$. These findings suggest that IGF-1 ameliorates the pathophysiological progress of DCM along with an activation of the Akt/GSK-$3{\beta}$ signaling pathway. Our findings suggest that IGF-1 could be a potential therapeutic choice for controlling DCM.

8년령의 중성화된 잡종 수컷 고양이 (증례 1)와 3년령의 중성화된 샴 수컷 고양이 (증례 2)가 뒷다리 마비, 지속적인 개구호흡, 그리고 객혈 등을 주증으로 내원하였다. 심잡음 (증례 1)과 분마성심음 (증례 2)이 좌측 심저부에서 청진되었으며, 방사선 검사상 증례 1의 경우 폐포패턴을 동반한 심한 공기연하증이, 증례 2에서는 확연한 심비대가 확인되었다. 심초음파 검사에서 두 마리 고양이 모두에서 좌심실과 심실중격의 구심성 비대와 좌심방의 확장이 확인되었다. 심장 초음파를 포함한 검사를 바탕으로 본 환축은 고양이 심근비대증으로 진단되었으며, 신체검사와 복부 초음파 검사를 통하여 병발한 안장색전증을 확인하였다. 일반적인 치료를 통한 환축의 예후가 불량한 점을 감안하여, 직접적인 혈관내 혈전용해술이 시도되었다. 혈관조영술을 통하여 혈전의 위치와 크기를 확인 할 수 있었으나, 광범위한 색전증으로 인하여 중재적 시술을 이용한 혈전용해는 성공적이지 못했다.
