Abstract:
We have presented a case of 41-year-old male who presented to the hospital with worsening shortness of breath, fatigue and flu-like symptoms. On admission to hospital, the patient was in severe cardiogenic shock secondary to acute perimyocarditis. He was admitted to the cardiac intensive care unit for close monitoring and aggressive hemodynamic support. Influenza B antigen was detected in nasopharyngeal aspirate and the patient was started on oseltamivir. The patient's cardiac function improved significantly in few days and he was discharged home in stable condition with normal ejection fraction.

Shock Waves
When the source's speed approaches the speed of sound, constructive interference between successive wavefronts emitted by the source occurs immediately behind it. Initially, scientists believed that this constructive interference would result in such high...

Blood Pressure: Hypertension and Hypotension
Normal blood pressure is 120/80 mm Hg. Elevated blood pressure is 120-129/under 80 mm Hg. Hypertension, warranting treatment at 130/80 mm Hg, is often asymptomatic and can lead to severe cardiovascular events, aneurysms, peripheral arterial disease, chronic renal disease, or cardiac...
