    Abstract Background: A pheochromocytoma-induced tako-tsubo syndrome is a life-threatening complication of the rare endocrinological disease. The association between the two syndromes is known, though seldom reported in literature, but the categorization is still debated.
    Case report: In this article, we provide two examples of clinical presentation of this rare condition, its diagnosis using point-of-care ultrasound, its management in the emergency department, and finally, a literature review. WHY SHOULD AN EMERGENCY PHYSICIAN BE AWARE OF THIS?: In case of a tako-tsubo syndrome-like myocardial dysfunction in a patient with unknown medical history, or recorded hypertensive or tachycardic peaks, a point-of-care ultrasound scan extended to the kidneys could help evaluate for a reversible underlying trigger cause such as pheochromocytoma.

    Abstract Forensic pathologists are frequently asked to investigate cases of sudden death (SD), and identifying the cause of death can be of particular importance, especially where it may be necessary to perform family screening among the relatives of the victim. A multidisciplinary approach inclusive of genetic analysis is therefore strongly recommended. According to forensic practice, arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM) is a well-known cause of SD. However, cases of SD caused by a left ventricular pattern of ACM diagnosed at autopsy are rarely reported in the literature. We present the case of an apparently healthy, 37-year-old male found dead at his home. At autopsy, multiple foci of epicardial and mid-wall fibrous and fibro-adipose tissue were observed within the left ventricle and, to a lesser extent, within the interventricular septum. Toxicology was negative, whereas a filamin C truncating mutation was detected through genetic analysis. To our knowledge, this is the first instance of arrhythmogenic left ventricular cardiomyopathy being diagnosed at autopsy.

    Abstract Background: Intraventricular masses are a relatively rare condition ranging from asymptomatic to potentially life-threatening situations.
    Case summary: Herein, we report a case of a 49-year-old woman under investigation for a massive right ventricular (RV) mass who underwent complete investigation for possible differential diagnosis, in the suspect of RV tumour. Multimodality imaging with cardiac computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed the presence of a massive thrombus partially obliterating the right ventricle. Surgical removal of the mass showed a large area of stratified thrombosis with an underlying area of endocardial fibrosis. The patient has been then discharged in good clinical condition and with lifetime oral anticoagulation.
    Discussion: Massive RV thrombosis is a rare yet potentially fatal condition. Invasive management is preferable and lifetime anticoagulation is required to reduce possible downstream thrombotic complications.

    Abstract Cardiac hamartoma is a rare benign tumor of the heart, and the vascular type is an extremely rare histologic diagnosis. A small number of cases have previously been described in childhood. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman with an incidentally detected cardiac mass that was finally diagnosed as vascular hamartoma. Approval for publication was obtained from the patient.

    Abstract Endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) is an invasive procedure originally developed for the monitoring of heart transplant rejection. Over the year, this procedure has gained a fundamental complementary role in the diagnostic work-up of several cardiac disorders, including cardiomyopathies, myocarditis, drug-related cardiotoxicity, amyloidosis, other infiltrative and storage disorders, and cardiac tumours. Major advances in EMB equipment and techniques for histological analysis have significantly improved diagnostic accuracy of EMB. In recent years, advanced imaging modalities such as echocardiography with three-dimensional and myocardial strain analysis, cardiac magnetic resonance and bone scintigraphy have transformed the non-invasive approach to diagnosis and prognostic stratification of several cardiac diseases. Therefore, it emerges the need to re-define the current role of EMB for diagnostic work-up and management of cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this review is to summarize current knowledge on EMB in light of the most recent evidences and to discuss current indications, including challenging scenarios encountered in clinical practice.

    Abstract Background: Cardiac involvement in amyloid light-chain (AL) amyloidosis usually represents a brick in the wall of a multi-system disease. The presence of cardiac deposition of free light chains (FLCs) is the main determinant of survival. Isolated cardiac AL is an uncommon scenario characterized by a challenging diagnostic and therapeutic workup.
    Case summary: A 57-year-old asymptomatic man was presented for an incidental finding of myocardial necrosis at the electrocardiogram (ECG) performed for newly diagnosed arterial hypertension. Alongside signs of previous myocardial infarction, transthoracic echocardiography showed a severely increased left ventricular (LV) wall thickness not consistent with ECG voltages, segmental akinaesia with normal LV systolic function with 'apical sparing' pattern. Laboratory assessment showed an unexpectedly high level of natriuretic peptide and persistently abnormal troponin in the absence of symptoms or signs of heart failure or ongoing ischaemia. Coronary angiogram confirmed the coronary artery disease. Before revascularization, a complete diagnostic workup was carried. Serum electrophoresis detected a monoclonal gammopathy that was further investigated by serum immunofixation, revealing high lambda FLCs concentration. Fat pad, bone marrow, and salivary glands biopsies resulted negative for amyloid deposition. Finally, endomyocardial biopsy was consistent with AL amyloidosis. Urgent percutaneous revascularization was performed, and the patients was timely started on chemotherapy.
    Discussion: The diagnosis of isolated cardiac AL amyloidosis is challenging and carries important therapeutic implications. As the short-term prognosis might be severely compromised, an accurate diagnostic flowchart has to be systematically pursued to obtain a precise diagnosis and address the optimal, tailored management.
