HERITABLE THORACIC AORTIC DISEASE: TRANSLATING SURGICAL EVIDENCE INTO CLINICAL PRACTICE. A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW
Anno:
2026
Background: Heritable thoracic aortic diseases (HTADs), including Marfan syndrome, Loeys–Dietz syndrome, vascular Ehlers–Danlos syndrome, and familial aortopathies, manifest genotype-specific patterns of aortic involvement, tissue fragility, and progression. These molecular determinants influence surgical risk, durability of repair, and likelihood of distal disease evolution. Consequently, surgical management has progressively moved from…
ENVIRONMENTAL DETERMINANTS OF CORONARY PLAQUE VULNERABILITY AN OPTICAL COHERENCE TOMOGRAPHY STUDY
Anno:
2026
Background : Environmental exposures may trigger acute coronary events, but links with in vivo plaque microstructure remain unclear. We examined associations between air pollution/meteorological variables and optical coherence tomography (OCT) plaque vulnerability, and explored long-term outcomes. Methods : We retrospectively analyzed a registry of 508 patients undergoing coronary OCT…
TELEMONITORING FOR HEART FAILURE CARE: FEASIBILITY AND EARLY CLINICAL IMPACT OF “TELECUORE” PROGRAM
Anno:
2026
Background Telemedicine may improve heart failure (HF) management by enabling early detection of clinical instability and therapy optimization. The TeleCuore program was implemented at the Cardiology Unit of “Guglielmo da Saliceto” Hospital (Piacenza, Italy) to assess feasibility, clinical impact, and patient experience. Methods Patients discharged with de novo HF…
MINICRUSH VS T-STENTING AND MINIMAL PROTRUSION FOR TREATMENT OF COMPLEX CORONARY BIFURCATION LESIONS: THE TREX REGISTRY STUDY
Anno:
2026
Background: Optimal percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) techniques for complex bifurcation lesions remain a subject of debate. Intentional two-stent strategies are widely employed, but comparative clinical effectiveness between different methods requires further investigation. This study aimed to compare the clinical efficacy of two prevalent two-stent techniques: the Minicrush and the…
NOVEL RIGHT VENTRICULAR FUNCTION PARAMETERS CAN IDENTIFY SHORT-TERM NON-RESPONDERS TO TRANSCATHETER EDGE-TO-EDGE REPAIR FOR MITRAL REGURGITATION
Anno:
2026
Background Mitral regurgitation (MR) is a prevalent valvular heart disease with poor outcome. Percutaneous mitral valve repair on top of guidelines-directed medical therapy has been associated with prognostic benefit. Yet, the percentage of patients who die or are re-hospitalized for heart failure, within the first year is high. Identification…
RELEVANCE OF RIGHT HEART IN PATIENTS RECEIVING MCS FOR ACUTE HEART FAILURE
Anno:
2026
Introduction : Acute heart failure (AHF) is the most common emergency admission in patients above 65 years old. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a very common finding in AHF patients. Due to the increase of the afterload, the right ventricle (RV) increases contractility to maintain its coupling with the pulmonary…
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…
