THE IMPACT OF OBESITY ON RESIDUAL INFLAMMATORY RISK AFTER ACUTE CORONARY SYNDROME. INSIGHT FROM THE PRATO-ACS REGISTRY
Anno:
2026
Background It is well known that residual inflammatory risk (RIR) is closely associated with prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS), independently of cholesterol levels achieved with high-intensity statin treatment. Subjects with a higher body mass index (BMI) often show a greater degree of systemic inflammation, highlighting BMI…
THE ROLE AND RESULTS OF THE PREGNANCY HEART TEAM: 2025 DATA FROM MASSA INTEGRATED BIRTH CENTER
Anno:
2026
Introduction Cardiovascular risk in pregnancy is rising, driven by a higher average maternal age at first conception and an increasing number of women with congenital heart defects (CHD) who are successfully completing pregnancies. Furthermore, for a fetus with a prenatal diagnosis of CHD, giving birth in a center with…
AORTIC RISK INDEX CALCULATION BASED ON BODY SURFACE AREA AND SURGICAL INDICATIONS FOR THE TREATMENT OF ASCENDING AORTA EXPANSIVE ANEURYSMS
Anno:
2026
Background and Aim: Surgical indications to aorta repair is based mainly on diameter of expansive aneurysm that correlates with aortic risk index calculated for patients’ body surface area (BSA) (Roman-Table). However, given that BSA takes into consideration patient weight, it can represent a limit for a lower estimation of…
THE FIRST EXPERIENCE IN ROME OF A HUB AND SPOKE MODEL FOR PERCUTANEOUS AORTIC VALVE REPLACEMENT PROCEDURES
Anno:
2026
Background: The number of patients with severe aortic stenosis eligible for transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has increased worldwide. To shorten waiting times, ensure equal access to care for all referred patients, and strengthen collaboration with spoke centers, we implemented a dedicated Hub & Spoke model in our regional…
SUPRA-NORMAL EJECTION FRACTION AT HOSPITAL ADMISSION STRATIFIES MORTALITY RISK IN HFPEF PATIENTS AGED ≥70 YEARS
Anno:
2026
Background: During the last few years, significant pathophysiological differences between heart failure (HF) patients with “normal” ejection fraction (EF) (50% to 64%) and those with supra-normal EF (≥65%) have been highlighted. However, these distinct EF phenotypes have been poorly investigated in elderly patients aged ≥70 yrs. Accordingly, the present…
PREDICTORS OF LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE THROMBUS
Anno:
2026
Introduction: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is currently performed for detecting left atrial appendage thrombus (LAAT). CHA 2 DS 2 -VASc scale is an established tool for determining the thromboembolic risk and initiation of anticoagulation treatment in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF). We aimed to identify whether any clinical findings and…
EFFICACY AND SAFETY OF PULSED FIELD ABLATION FOR ATRIAL FIBRILLATION ABLATION: A SINGLE-CENTER REL WORLD EXPERIENCE
Anno:
2026
Pulsed Field Ablation (PFA) is a mainly non-thermal energy source capable of creating myocardial-selective lesions. This study evaluated efficacy and safety of its introduction into real-world clinical practice for atrial fibrillation (AF) ablation. A retrospective analysis was conducted on all consecutive patients treated with AF ablation between January 2022…
PULMONARY HYPERTENSION AS AN INDEPENDENT PROGNOSTIC DETERMINANT IN AMBULATORY PATIENTS WITH ADVANCED HEART FAILURE: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY
Anno:
2026
Background: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) complicates advanced heart failure (AdvHF) and may limit access to life-saving therapies such as heart transplantation (HTx). However, the independent prognostic value of PH in contemporary cohorts of patients with AdHF remains unclear. Methods: We prospectively enrolled ambulatory patients with at least one European Society…
CARDIOVASCULAR COMORBIDITIES IN AN ITALIAN COHORT OF OBSTRUCTIVE SLEEP APNEA SYNDROME (OSAS) PATIENTS
Anno:
2026
Introduction: Cardiovascular (CV) comorbidities significantly contribute to the burden of OSAS disease and increase the complexity for management of this condition. The OSA-related rEDS (OSAREDS) study, planned and managed by AIMS (Accademia Italiana della Medicina del Sonno), collected data on cardiovascular comorbidities and their treatments. Aims and objectives: OSAREDS…
IMPACT OF SPECIALIZED MONITORING ON THE RISK OF MAJOR CARDIAC EVENTS IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
Anno:
2026
Introduction Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) exposes pregnant women to significant cardiovascular risks, including Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE: clinically relevant arrhythmia or heart failure), often due to residual lesions such as pulmonary regurgitation. This study evaluates maternal and perinatal outcomes in a high-risk ToF cohort, analyzing the impact…
