Ebstein's anomaly is a congenital heart defect. The septal and posterior leaflets of the tricuspid valve are displaced toward the apex of the right ventricle called as atrialization of right ventricle. Most of them have interatrial communication. Ebstein's anomaly accounts for >1% of all cases of congenital heart disease. It has a high mortality rate in first few months of life and rarely patients with Ebstein's anomaly live up to adulthood. We here are presenting a case report of a 40-year-old male who presented with palpitation and lightheadedness and was found to be a case of Ebstein's anomaly with the late presentation in fourth decade of life.- Organophosphorus Poisoning Complicated by Acute Myocardial Infarction-A Case Report

Acute organophosphate (OP) poisoning represents a major health problem in developing countries where OP compounds are widely and easily available as pesticide. Toxicity due to these agents can affect many organs including lungs, brain and heart. The possible mechanisms for myocardial injury include sympathetic/parasympathetic overactivity, hypoxemia, acidosis, dyselectrolemia, and direct cardio toxicity. Cardiac manifestations consist of electrocardiographic ST-T segment changes, AV conduction disturbances and QT prolongation, leading to torsades de pointes and sudden cardiac death. Acute coronary syndrome as a complication of OP poisoning has been reported rarely. We report herein a fatal case of OP poisoning complicated by acute myocardial infarction.Keywords
