Multiple Small Coronary Artery Fistulas Emptying into the Left Ventricle: A Rare but Challenging Problem by Omar Kahaly, Konstantinos Dean Boudoulas

“…A coronary artery fistula (CAF) is an abnormal communication between a coronary artery and a cardiac chamber or a great vessel. CAFs are rare based on coronary arteriography and when found they most often empty into the right ventricle and atrium and less often into the high pressure, low compliance left ventricle (LV). …”

Aversion for Avulsion: A Case of Delayed Diagnosis of Traumatic Tricuspid Rupture by Wendy K. Bernstein, Nicholas Goehner

“…However, the incidence of this injury is rising due to the improved initial treatment of complex trauma patients as well as enhanced early detection methods through the use of cardiac ultrasound. We report the case of an otherwise healthy 42 year old male who sustained significant blunt force trauma after a single motor vehicle accident. …”

Evaluating the Role of Wnt Signal Transduction in Promoting the Development of the Heart by Leonard M. Eisenberg, Carol A. Eisenberg

“…Wnt signal transduction also influences the formation of the heart, yet many issues concerning the involvement of Wnt regulation in initiating cardiac development remain unresolved. In this review, we will examine the published record to discern (a) what has been shown by experimental studies on the participation of Wnt signaling in cardiogenesis, and (b) what are the important questions that need to be addressed to understand the importance and function of Wnt signal transduction in facilitating the development of the heart.…”
