SINGLE LEAD ATRIOVENTRICULAR SEQUENTIAL PACING AFTER TRANSCATHETER AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT: A SAFE AND EFFECTIVE ALTERNATIVE TO DUAL LEAD SYSTEMS
Anno:
2025
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:
2025
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:
2025
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 hospitalizations, and…

RIGHT-VENTRICULAR TRAJECTORIES AFTER VALVE SURGERY: IDENTIFYING A HIGH-RISK UNCOUPLING PHENOTYPE AND ITS IMPACT ON EARLY OUTCOMES
Anno:
2025
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…

SURGERY OF COMPLEX INFECTIVE ENDOCARDITIS: TECHNIQUES AND MEDIUM-TERM RESULTS
Anno:
2025
Background. Complex aortic valve endocarditis is one of the most feared complications of infectious endocarditis and, despite early diagnosis and treatment, it is still associated with a high rates of mortality and morbidity. Multicenter studies report 15-20% of in-hospital mortality and 40% of one-year mortality rate after surgery. It…

CARDIAC INVOLVEMENT IN ACUTE LYMPHOBLASTIC LEUKEMIA DETECTED BY MULTIMODALITY IMAGING
Anno:
2025
Background: Cardiac involvement in hematologic malignancies is uncommon and often subclinical; it may present with pericardial effusion and myo-pericardial infiltration. Case presentation: A 41-year-old man with relapsed acute lymphoblastic leukemia (prior chemotherapy and two bone-marrow transplant attempts) was referred for hypotension and marked asthenia. He denied chest pain, palpitations,…

EFFECTS OF EMPAGLIFLOZIN AND DAPAGLIFLOZIN ON FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH HFPEF AND NON-OBSTRUCTIVE HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY: PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Anno:
2025
Background: Patients with nonobstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (nHCM) frequently present with exertional intolerance and features of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Although sodium–glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have shown clinical benefit in HFpEF, patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy have been excluded from major randomized trials, leaving a relevant unmet…

CARCINOID HEART DISEASE: THE PULMONARY VALVE IS OFTEN THE FORGOTTEN VALVE!
Anno:
2025
Background:  Carcinoid Heart Disease (CHD) is a rare but ominous complication of neuroendocrine tumors (NETs), characterized by fibrotic plaque deposition on endocardial surfaces. While tricuspid valve involvement is well-documented, the pulmonary valve is often overlooked despite its significant impact on right ventricular (RV) hemodynamics. Case Presentation:  A 73-year-old male…

ROLE OF CARDIAC CT WITH LATE IODINE ENHANCEMENT IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF ACUTE MYOCARDITIS
Anno:
2025
Background: Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) is the gold standard for the diagnosis of acute myocarditis. However, its limited availability, particularly in smaller centers, restricts its clinical use. The role of cardiac Computed Tomography (CT) in myocardial tissue characterization has been poorly investigated. Purpose: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of…

CARDIOPULMONARY SUPPORT DURING CATHETER ABLATION OF VENTRICULAR ARRHYTHMIAS: LONG TERM RESULTS FROM A SINGLE CENTER EXPERIENCE
Anno:
2025
Background Catheter ablation is a treatment option for sustained ventricular tachycardias (VTs) that are refractory to pharmacological treatment; however, patients with fast VT and electrical storm (ES) are at risk for cardiogenic shock. Extracorporeal membranes oxygenation (ECMO) has been proposed as a useful tool for managing these procedures and…
