    Abstract Isolated cardiac sarcoidosis is a rare subset of sarcoidosis, a systemic autoimmune condition primarily found in African American females. The manifestations of cardiac sarcoidosis include atrioventricular and bundle branch blocks, arrhythmias, heart failure, and pericardial effusions, although these complications occur at varying prevalence. The diagnosis of cardiac sarcoidosis requires several different criteria; however, recent literature has focused heavily on imaging modalities such as cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We present a case of a 42-year-old Caucasian male who was found to have unexplained cardiac arrhythmias and ultimately diagnosed with cardiac sarcoidosis by imaging modalities.

    Abstract Prompt and effective chest compressions is the cornerstone cardiopulmonary resuscitation and has been found to improve cardiac arrest outcomes. Despite being rare, a wide variety of cardiac and pulmonary complications due to chest compressions have been identified. We present a case of a young, otherwise healthy female developing toxic shock syndrome and ultimately cardiac arrest requiring chest compressions found to cause right atrial and ventricular collapse on echocardiography.

    Abstract Rationale: Novel coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) also known as severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) is an enveloped, non-segmented positive-sense RNA virus belonging to the beta-coronaviridae family. This virus is known to cause severe bilateral pneumonia and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) which can lead to difficulty breathing requiring mechanical ventilation and intensive care unit management.
    Patient concerns: A 77-year-old female with a history of hypertension and hyperlipidemia who presented as a transfer to our hospital facility with worsening fevers, cough, and respiratory distress.
    Diagnosis: Chest X-rays revealed bilateral infiltrates worse at the lung bases and CT scan of the chest showed bilateral ground-glass opacities consistent with COVID-19. While our testing revealed a negative COVID-19 result at our institution, the result at a previous hospital returned a positive result.
    Interventions: She was being treated aggressively in the intensive care unit with high dose intravenous ascorbic acid, hydroxychloroquine, and anti-interleukin-6 monoclonal antibody. She also received a loading dose of remdesivir however was unable to complete the course due to organ failure and requirement of vasopressors for hemodynamic stability.
    Outcomes: She remained critically ill and was eventually placed on comfort care as per the family's wishes and passed away.
    Lessons: With a rapidly growing death rate and more than 200,000 confirmed cases worldwide, COVID-19 has become a global pandemic and major hit to our healthcare systems. While several companies have already begun vaccine trials and healthcare facilities have been using a wide-range of medications to treat the virus and symptoms, there is not yet an approved medication regimen for COVID-19 infections. The alarming increase in cases per day adds additional pressure to find a cure and decrease the global health burden and mortality rate.

    Abstract Thyroid storm (or thyrotoxic crisis) is commonly defined as a life-threatening condition caused by the exaggeration of the clinical manifestations of thyrotoxicosis. Supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) is an atypical precipitating symptom of thyrotoxicosis that clinicians should be aware of. An empirically derived scoring system known as the Burch-Wartofsky Point Scale (BWPS) has been used by clinicians since the early 1990s. The BWPS considers an array of precipitating factors and the severity of symptoms of multiple organ decompensation. In recent years, there has been an increasing correlation between SARS-CoV-2 and thyroid pathologies. We present a case of an unresponsive elderly male with a recent coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) infection presenting with SVT and a BWPS score of 45, highly indicative of a thyroid storm.

    Abstract Kounis syndrome is a hypersensitivity disorder secondary to allergy or anaphylaxis that can result in acute coronary syndrome. Kounis syndrome has an increasing prevalence since its first identification in 1950. Divided into 3 subtypes, each with diagnostic criteria, the management of Kounis syndrome presents a clinical challenge. We aim to identify the pathophysiological mechanisms and review the diagnosis, epidemiology, management strategies, and future directions of Kounis syndrome. As Kounis syndrome becomes more widely recognized in the medical community, the role of diagnosis, treatment, and future immunomodulatory prevention strategies will continue to unfold.

    Abstract Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC) is a predominantly autosomal dominant genetic condition in which fibrous and fatty tissue infiltrate and replace healthy myocardial tissue. This uncommon yet debilitating condition can cause ventricular arrhythmias, cardiac failure, and sudden cardiac death. Management focuses primarily on prevention of syndrome sequelae in order to prevent morbidity and mortality. Genetic testing and screening in affected families, although utilized clinically, has not yet been incorporated in guidelines due to lack of larger studies and data. We aim herein to identify causative gene mutations, present advancements in diagnosis and management, and describe the role of genetic screening and counseling in patients with ARVC. With the advancement of genetic testing and therapy, diseases such as ARVC may become more accurately diagnosed and more effectively managed, ultimately significantly reducing morbidity and mortality.
