PHOTON-COUNTING COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY FOR TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION IN PATIENTS WITH A LEFT VENTRICULAR HYPERTROPHIC PHENOTYPE
Anno:
2026
Background: Photon-counting computed tomography (PCCT) combines high spatial resolution with spectral imaging, and can thus provide a morphologic, functional and tissue assessment of hypertrophic hearts. We investigated whether PCCT can characterize left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) as accurately as cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in the whole cohort and across hypertrophic…

CONTEMPORARY RESULTS OF HM3 LVAD FOR ADVANCED HEART FAILURE: A MULTICENTER ITALIAN EXPERIENCE
Anno:
2026
BACKGROUD: Research and expert consensus indicate that durable mechanical circulatory support ( d MCS) with Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) therapy is significantly underestimated and underutilized in Italy compared to other European countries and North America. Our retrospective multicenter experience aims to describe the current state of art in…

STEROID-INDUCED OBSTRUCTIVE HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY IN A CHILD WITH LANGERHANS CELL HISTIOCYTOSIS
Anno:
2026
Introduction: Langerhans cell histiocytosis is a rare disease, more common in the pediatric age; the vinblastine–corticosteroid combination represents the first-line treatment. Cardiovascular effects of corticosteroids are generally mild; however, rare cases of obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have been described, mainly in the neonatal age. We report an exceptional case of…

ELEVATION OF APOLIPOPROTEIN B LEVELS AND CHANGES IN PROTEIN GLUTAHIONYLATION SUGGEST NOVEL BIOMARKERS FOR PAEDIATRIC CARDIAC HYPERTROPHY
Anno:
2026
Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major predictor of adverse cardiac events associated with cardiac hypertrophy (CH). From a pathophysiological perspective, oxidative stress and redox status imbalance may play a pivotal role. In other pathological contexts, dysregulation of S-glutathionylation, a redox-dependent post-translational protein modification involving the conjugation of glutathione to…

TRANSCATHETER EDGE-TO-EDGE REPAIR FOR TRICUSPID REGURGITATION – SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND META-ANALYSIS
Anno:
2026
Background Severe tricuspid regurgitation (TR) is associated with significant morbidity, reduced exercise capacity and impaired quality of life, while many patients are at prohibitive surgical risk. Transcatheter tricuspid edge-to-edge repair (T-TEER) using TriClip™, MitraClip™ or PASCAL™ has emerged as a less invasive alternative, but pooled evidence on reverse remodeling,…

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC ASSESSMENT OF ARRHYTHMIC RISK IN YOUNG ATHLETES WITH MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE: THE ROLE OF MITRAL ANNULAR DISJUNCTION, PSEUDO–MITRAL ANNULAR DISJUNCTION, AND THE PICKELHAUBE SIGN
Anno:
2026
Aim of the study : To evaluate arrhythmic risk in a group of young athletes with Mitral Valve Prolapse (MVP) by analyzing the correlation between arrhythmic events and specific echocardiographic markers, particularly Mitral Annular Disjunction (MAD), pseudo Mitral Annular Disjunction (PMAD), and the Pickelhaube sign (PS). Methods : Eleven…

SINGLE LEAD ATRIOVENTRICULAR SEQUENTIAL PACING AFTER TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT: A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO DUAL LEAD SYSTEMS
Anno:
2026
Background. Pacemaker implantation following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has been linked to increased mortality. Evidence on the efficacy and safety of single-lead atrioventricular sequential (VDD) pacing in this patient population is currently limited. Purpose. We sought to assess whether TAVR patients implanted with VDD had significantly different electrical…

FONTAN REGISTRY: A SINGLE-CENTER RETROSPECTIVE STUDY ON LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP IN FONTAN PATIENTS
Anno:
2026
Background: The Fontan procedure is a palliative surgical strategy for patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease. Although surgical advances have improved survival, Fontan patients remain exposed to multiple late complications, including arrhythmias, thromboembolic events (TE), protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), and liver disease. Purpose: To evaluate long-term clinical outcomes in adult…

IMPACT OF TAFAMIDIS ON SLEEP-DISORDERED BREATHING IN TRANSTHYRETIN CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS
Anno:
2026
Background: Heart failure (HF) is frequently associated with central apnea (CA) and obstructive apnea (OA), which often improve after treatment. Amyloid transthyretin (TTR) cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is increasingly recognized as a cause of HF. Tafamidis, a TTR stabilizer, slows disease progression by preventing TTR misfolding and aggregation, reducing mortality, cardiovascular…

RIGHT-VENTRICULAR TRAJECTORIES AFTER VALVE SURGERY: IDENTIFYING A HIGH-RISK UNCOUPLING PHENOTYPE AND ITS IMPACT ON EARLY OUTCOMES
Anno:
2026
Background Right-ventricular(RV)dysfunction is frequent after valve surgery,but static postoperative measurements provide a limited understanding of RV adaptation.We aimed to characterise 6-month RV functional trajectories and assess their prognostic relevance,integrating RV–pulmonary arterial(PA)coupling with clinical outcomes Methods Prospective single-centre study including 147 adults undergoing elective valve surgery(aortic,mitral or combined±tricuspid);isolated CABG was…
