Critical ill patients with pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza A are associated with mortality, including cardiovascular, respiratory and renal dysfunction. Understanding of risk factor and clinical manifestation that suggest a higher mortality can recognize high risk patients earlier. There are many reports for severe acute respiratory distress syndrome, multiple organ failure and renal failure with pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza A. But cardiovascular disease with pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza A remains unknown. This is the report of pandemic 2009 H1N1 influenza A association with apical balloning syndrome.

The incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) in hemodialysis patients is higher than the general population. Hemodialysis patients with IE have a poorer prognosis than other patients with IE. The most common sites of IE in hemodialysis patients are the mitral valve and aortic valve. A 47-year-old woman had suffered from recurrent catheter-related blood stream infection and she was strongly suspected of IE. Despite repeated transthoracic echocardiography and transesophageal echocardiography (TEE), IE was revealed several months later by TEE due to the unusual location of the vegetation. The vegetation was detected on the left ventricle outflow tract. She recovered well without any complication after mitral valve replacement surgery.
