Case Reports
Long QT syndrome in extensive infective endocarditis complicating hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy.
Infective endocarditis in hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy is uncommon. We present a case of extensive infective endocarditis in a female patient with mild hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy and long QT syndrome. Upon a definite diagnosis, an urgent operation was performed successfully, and the patient had an uneventful postoperative course. The clinical features and the possible mechanisms of long QT syndrome of this patient are discussed.

Case Reports
[Tako-tsubo syndrome - the cardiomyopathy induced by stress may occur at any age. Two cases report].
We present two cases of young women admitted to the hospital due to clinical and electrocardiographic features of ST elevation acute coronary syndrome. Coronary angiography revealed normal coronary arteries and echocardiography revealed typical for apical ballooning syndrome pictures, which gradually disappeared. Due to these findings the diagnosis of transient left ventricular apical ballooning syndrome was established. In one patient thyreotoxicosis was also detected.
