Impact of heat-not-burn cigarette passive smoking on children’s oxidative stress, endothelial and platelet function
Anno:
2024
Growing global use of heat-not-burn cigarettes (HNBC) prompts investigation. Prior studies assessed HNBC ‘s effects on cardiovascular health, revealing heightened oxidative stress, platelet activation, and endothelial dysfunction. However, limited understanding exists regarding passive smoking ‘s impact on children exposed to HNBC. This study aims to assess levels of oxidative…
MID-TERM OUTCOMES OF ENDOSCOPIC MITRAL VALVE REPAIR VIA RIGHT ANTERIOR MINI-THORACOTOMY
Anno:
2024
The adoption of less-invasive mitral repair (MVr) surgery is increasing, backed by evidence of satisfactory short-term results and lower major morbidity. We assessed mid-term follow-up results of our experience, and compared two techniques: isolated leaflet resection and neochord implantation for posterior leaflet (PML) prolapse. Between 2012-2021, 700+ operations were…
NOVEL INTEGRATED IMAGING PARAMETERS FOR RISK STRATIFICATION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION IN PATIENTS WITH HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
Anno:
2024
Abstract Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) impacts prognosis of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by promoting progressive heart failure (HF) and increasing risk of stroke. Over the past years, several indexes and methods to predict AF among HCM patients have been proposed. However, they are limited by a lack of accuracy. Aims…
How to manage mitral valve posterior leaflet hypoplasia
Anno:
2024
Background: Mitral valve posterior leaflet hypoplasia is a relatively rare and often congenital anatomical malformation. In this condition, achieving a good and durable mitral valve repair still represents a challenge for surgeons Methods: We present the case of a 43 years old man presenting with exertional dyspnoea due to…
Role of right ventricular myocardial work in the stratification of patients affected by Advanced Heart Failure
Anno:
2024
Background: Currently adopted echocardiographic parameters for the evaluation of right ventricle (RV) are all loading sensitive and their reliability remains poor. RV myocardial work (RVMW) emerged as an innovative non-invasive diagnostic tool that incorporates strain pressure loops and potentially overcomes the aforementioned limitation. No previous studies assessed the variations…
A LONG QT SYNDROME WITHOUT MANIFESTATION
Anno:
2024
A 66-year-old Caucasian woman presented for outpatient evaluation due to elevated blood pressure levels at home (approximately 220/120 mmHg) and a significant family history of long QT syndrome. The index case in the family appeared to be her sister, investigated following an ECG showing markedly prolonged QT interval and…
LATE ONSET FABRY’S DISEASE MIMICKING HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY
Anno:
2024
Fabry disease (FD) is rare genetic syndrome which determines a lysosomal storage disorder caused by pathogenic variants in the alpha-galactosidase A (GLA) gene that lead to alpha-galactosidase A (AGAL- A) enzyme activity disfunction.The fenotipic effect is a left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) that is frequently misdiagnosed as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM).This…
MAGNETIC RESONANCE AND CARDIAC IMPLANTABLE DEVICES: A SAFE COMBINATION
Anno:
2024
Despite guidelines the presence of a cardiac implantable device (CIED) in a magnetic resonance (MR) ambient raises fears and perplexities and generates the often inappropriate request for support from the electrophysiologist. From January 2019 to November 2023 all patients with a cardiac implantable device (CIED) undergoing magnetic resonance (MR)…
CHARACTERISTICS AND OUTCOME OF PATIENTS WITH VARIOUS TYPE OF ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME
Anno:
2024
Background and aim: Acute coronary syndrome with non-critical coronary arteries comprises distinct entities with unique pathophysiological, diagnostic, therapeutic and prognostic characteristics. The aim was to compare the clinical and prognostic features of cohorts presenting NSTEMI and non-critical coronary arteries disease, i.e. MINOCA, type 2 myocardial infarction (MI), Takotsubo syndrome…
IN-HOSPITAL CHANGES OF PLASMA TRIMETHYLAMINE N-OXIDE (TMAO) LEVELS PREDICTS MAJOR ADVERSE CARDIOVASCULAR EVENTS IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
Anno:
2024
Background: Trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO), a gut microbiota-dependent metabolite, originates from choline, L-carnitine and phosphatidylcholine metabolism. It is abundant in animal-derived foods like red meat, and egg yolk. TMAO plays a crucial role in cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), altering lipid metabolism and endothelial function, inducing oxidative stress, platelet reactivity, inflammation, and…
