EFFECTS OF EMPAGLIFLOZIN AND DAPAGLIFLOZIN ON FUNCTIONAL CAPACITY AND QUALITY OF LIFE IN PATIENTS WITH HFPEF AND NON-OBSTRUCTIVE HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY: PRELIMINARY RESULTS
Anno:
2026
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:
2026
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:
2026
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:
2026
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…

ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC STRAIN AND NT-PROBNP IN THE SYSTEMIC RIGHT VENTRICLE: COMPLEMENTARY INDICATORS OF HEMODYNAMIC SEVERITY
Anno:
2026
Background: The systemic right ventricle (sRV), present in patients with d-TGA after atrial switch and in congenitally corrected TGA (ccTGA), is chronically pressure-loaded, leading to ventricular remodeling and progressive dysfunction. In this setting, markers of myocardial mechanics and wall stress integrating imaging and biomarkers are useful. Aim: To evaluate…

PREDICTING THE FINAL DIAGNOSIS IN PATIENTS WITH SUSPECTED AMYLOID CARDIOMYOPATHY REFERRED FOR TISSUE BIOPSY
Anno:
2026
Background: In patients with suspected amyloid cardiomyopathy (CM) and a monoclonal protein, tissue biopsy is mandatory to exclude amyloid light-chain CM (AL-CM), the subtype requiring urgent therapy. We aimed to develop a pragmatic approach to estimate the most likely final diagnosis before biopsy. Methods: We studied a multicenter cohort…

VAGAL INFLUENCE ON ATRIAL ELECTROGRAMS: DIFFERENTIATING STRUCTURAL VS. FUNCTIONAL FRAGMENTATION IN GANGLIONATED PLEXI REGIONS
Anno:
2026
Background and aims: Ganglionated plexi (GPs) are the primary target of ablative therapies for neurally mediated syncope (NMS); however, the optimal method for their endocardial localization remains unclear. This study analyzed bipolar atrial electrograms (EGMs) and their response to a vagolytic agent to elucidate their relationship with the parasympathetic…

IMPROVING MORTALITY PREDICTION IN CARDIAC SURGERY: A BAYESIAN ENSEMBLE APPROACH BEYOND EUROSCORE II
Anno:
2026
Background Risk stratification in cardiac surgery is of utmost importance for informed consent and for the heart team decision. While EuroSCORE II is widely used, it overlooks intraoperative factors such as ischemic and reperfusion times that can substantially affect outcomes. This study evaluates a Bayesian ensemble approach that integrates…

ROLE OF GLP1 AGONIST AFTER TAVI: INSIGHTS FROM MOTIVE REGISTRY
Anno:
2026
Introduction: GLP-1a are a novel class of cardiometabolic drugs that have been shown to reduce the risk of MACE and cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes, overweight, or obesity. Improved outcomes have also been reported in patients undergoing TAVI treated with the SGLT2 inhibitor dapagliflozin in the…

VARIATION IN COMBINED CARDIOPULMONARY EXERCISE TEST AND STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY FINDINGS IN PATIENTS WITH OBSTRUCTIVE HYPERTROPHYC CARDIOMYOPATHY TREATED WITH MAVACAMTEN: A PROSPECTIVE OBSERVATIONAL MULTICENTER STUDY
Anno:
2026
Background : Mavacamten, a selective cardiac myosin inhibitor, improves left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction and symptoms in obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). However, real-world data integrating cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) and echocardiography remain limited. Methods : In this prospective multicenter study, 28 patients with symptomatic obstructive HCM underwent transthoracic…
