Acute pancreatitis can be associated with electrical changes mimicking acute coronary syndrome with normal coronary arteries. The association of acute pancreatitis with ST-segment elevation and elevated cardiac enzymes has been reported in few observations. The pathophysiological mechanisms of this association remain poorly understood. We report the case of a 63-year-old woman presenting with chest pain, changes in the electrocardiogram and elevated cardiac enzymes with normal coronary arteries associated with acute pancreatitis. Stress cardiomyopathy or Takotsubo syndrome associated with acute pancreatitis was the most likely diagnosis in our case. Stress cardiomyopathy should be considered a possibility in case of patients with acute pancreatitis who present with clinical signs suggestive of acute coronary syndrome.

Introduction and importance: Shone complex is a congenital heart defect consisting of four obstructive defects in the left heart: a mitral supravalvular ring, sub-aortic stenosis, parachute mitral valve, and coarctation of the aorta (CoA), which affects only a small minority of people. Case presentation We report the case of a 25-year-old woman with a past medical history of moderate mitral stenosis, since she was 10-year-old with uncontrolled high blood pressure, treated with nicardipine. admitted to our emergency department with high blood pressure: 190/80 mmhg, in whom The transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) revealed: sub-mitral membrane, with a single sub-papillary muscle, and coarctation of the aorta and the CT scan showed narrowed aortic arch and a left superior vena cava allowing to retain shone syndrome as the main diagnosis. The patient was treated with an antihypertensive treatment combining (perindopril/indapamide/amlodipine) while waiting for surgery. Clinical discussion In this mini-review, we aim to describe this rare pathological condition its pathophysiological thoughts, and the way to diagnosis this complex early. Conclusion Treatment required the coordinated efforts of a team of specialists. It could be either surgical with different method or by Trans catheter treatments.

L'embolie pulmonaire est affection médicale aiguë et grave. Sa présentation clinique n'est pas pathognomonique et peut simuler d'autres urgences médico-chirurgicales. Nous rapportons le cas d'un patient admis dans un tableau de syndrome coronarien aigu avec modification électrique et ascension des enzymes cardiaques sans substrat significatif à la coronarographie, faisant diagnostiquer une embolie pulmonaire.
