Abstract:

Ventricular septal defect (VSD) following myocardial infarction (MI) is a rare but life-threatening complication associated with high morbidity and mortality. While surgical repair remains the standard of care, its high mortality risk has prompted the exploration of percutaneous alternatives, especially in patients with elevated surgical risk. This case report describes the successful percutaneous closure of a post-MI VSD via a trans-septal approach in an 80-year-old male, highlighting its feasibility, safety, and favorable clinical outcome in a high-risk patient.

Mitral Stenosis III: Medical Management

Mitral stenosis, a condition marked by the narrowing of the mitral valve, necessitates an integrated approach for effective management. This approach includes preventative measures, medical therapy, and surgical interventions to reduce symptoms and prevent complications.PreventionPrevention of mitral stenosis primarily focuses on reducing the incidence of bacterial infections, particularly streptococcal infections, which can lead to rheumatic fever and subsequent valvular damage.

Cardiomyopathy V: Interprofessional Care

Managing cardiomyopathy involves addressing underlying or precipitating causes, treating heart failure with medications, and implementing dietary changes and a balanced exercise and rest regimen.Lifestyle ModificationsCardiomyopathy patients should adopt a low-sodium diet to reduce fluid retention and manage heart failure. A personalized exercise and rest plan helps maintain physical fitness without overstraining the heart. Avoiding alcohol and tobacco is essential to prevent further damage to...
