CHARACTERISATION OF THE 12-LEAD ECG IN PAEDIATRIC CARRIERS OF PLAKOPHILLIN-2 GENE VARIANTS
Anno:
2024
Background and aim The PKP2 gene encodes the desmosomal protein Plakophilin-2, vital for cellular adhesion between cardiomyocytes. It is associated with classical Arrhythmogenic Right Ventricular Cardiomyopathy (ARVC), a cardiac disorder that can cause malignant ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death in the young. The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is an…
Wearable cardioverter defibrillator in patient with transient risk of sudden cardiac death : single centre experience
Anno:
2024
Background Cardiovascular disease is still the first cause of death, with sudden cardiac death ( SCD) as a first presentation in 25% of cases, related to coronary artery disease. Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) demontrated a reduction of SCD in high risk patients with good functional status. However the risk…
Changes in left atrial volume during echostress in patients undergoing mitral valve plastic cardiac surgery
Anno:
2024
Mitral Regurgitation (MR) is characterized by a high morbidity and mortality that often finds a solution only in the reparative surgical treatment, in particular in presence of myxomatous degeneration that cause the prolapse of one or both leaflets. This results in an increase in diastolic pressure that leads to…
A CASE OF RIGHT HEART FAILURE: WHEN IT IS NOT PULMONARY EMBOLISM
Anno:
2024
A 66-year-old patient, showing exertional dyspnea and atypical chest pain, came to our attention with instrumental findings at echocardiogram of right ventricular failure and was hospitalized due to worsening signs and symptoms of right heart failure. Signs of right ventricular strain and the McGinn-White sign (S1Q3T3 pattern) were seen…
Percutaneous Coronary Intervention for Left Main Disease in High Bleeding Risk: Outcomes from a Subanalysis of the Delta 2 Registry
Anno:
2024
Introduction High bleeding risk (HBR) can represent a challenge, especially in patients with complex coronary lesions undergoing PCI. This study aims at investigating the prevalence of HBR in a wide and comprehensive cohort of patients undergoing left main (LM) PCI, describing their clinical phenotype, and reporting their procedural outcomes….
COMPLETE VS CULPRIT-LESION-ONLY MYOCARDIAL REVASCULARIZATION IN PATIENTS WITH OUT-OF-HOSPITAL CARDIAC ARREST: INSIGHTS FROM THE MULTICENTRIC LOMBARDIA CARe REGISTRY
Anno:
2024
Background: Out-of-hospital Cardiac Arrest (OHCA) is an uncommon yet potentially devastating complication of patients with Myocardial Infarction (MI). Multivessel Disease (MVD) is a frequent occurrence in this setting, being present in nearly half patients undergoing Coronary Angiography (CAG). We previously reported that, in case of MI complicated by OHCA…
Prevalence of Wild-Type Transthyretin Cardiac Amyloidosis in Elderly Subjects from the General Population
Anno:
2024
Background: Wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt-CA) affects older adults, and is currently considered as a rare disorder. Objective: We investigated for the first time the prevalence of ATTRwt-CA in elderly individuals from the general population. Methods: General practitioners from Pisa, Italy, proposed a screening for ATTRwt-CA to all their…
Feasibility and micro-costing analysis of a same-day discharge protocol for catheter ablation of atrial fibrillation: A pilot study using cryoballoon ablation.
Anno:
2024
Background: Catheter ablation (CA) is a well-established treatment for atrial fibrillation (AF). Due to the ageing population, increasing prevalence of AF risk factors, improving detection methods for AF, and broadening indications for ablation, CA for AF is the most common resource-consuming ablation procedure, strongly impacting waiting list times and…
DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR NON-DILATED LEFT VENTRICULAR CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE
Anno:
2024
Background: Non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) is a novel diagnostic entity defined as non-ischemic LV scarring or fatty replacement regardless of the presence of global or regional wall motion abnormalities, or isolated global LV hypokinesia without scarring. While the absence of LV dilation and systolic dysfunction are implicit, no…
Baseline Shock Index-Creatinine Clearance as a Predictor of Long-term Mortality after ACS. Results From 24 Years of Follow-up of The ABC Study on Heart Disease.
Anno:
2024
Background: Shock index (SI), defined as heart rate divided by systolic blood pressure, is a useful simple predictor of long-term mortality after acute myocardial infarction. Purpose: To assess the utilization of the SI updated version that includes renal function (Shock Index-Creatinine Clearance (SI-C)) to predict long-term mortality after ACS….
