Combination Therapy With Semaglutide and Dapagliflozin reduces synergistically anthracycline-induced cardiotoxicity under hyperglycemia: implications in primary prevention of CTRCD in cancer patients with T2DM
Anno:
2025
Background: Hyperglycemia and advanced glycation end products (AGES) are key players of heart failure and atherosclerosis in patients with/without cancer through the stimulation of pro-inflammatory signaling. GLP-1 receptor agonists exerts cardiorenal benefits in patients with/without diabetes, proposing themselves as a new cardioprotective strategy in a broad patient setting, including…
MIGRATION OF LONG-SENSING VECTOR IMPLANTABLE LOOP RECORDER UNMASKED BY REMOTE MONITORING IN PATIENT WITH UNEXPLAINED SYNCOPE
Anno:
2025
Introduction: Remote monitoring is recommended as part of the standard follow-up management strategy of ILRs. We report a case of asymptomatic ILR migration into the pleural cavity, unmasked by remote monitoring, and its multidisciplinary management. Case presentation: A 75-year-old man with paroxysmal AF was referred to our syncope unit for the evaluation…
THE UNUSUAL CASE OF ATRIO-VENTRICULAR BLOCK TREATED WITH CALCIUM CHANNEL BLOCKERS: UNMASKING CORONARY VASOSPASM
Anno:
2025
Background: ST-segment elevation is typically associated with acute coronary syndromes; however, it can also mask less common conditions, such as coronary vasospasm. Ischemia caused by coronary vasospasm can not only mimic myocardial infarction but also lead to conduction abnormalities, including atrioventricular block.This case highlights the diagnostic challenges posed by…
CARDIAC INVOLVEMENT IN SARCOIDOSIS WITH INDUCED MALIGNANT ARRHYTHMIAS – MULTIMODAL MANAGEMENT APPROACH
Anno:
2025
Sarcoidosis is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by the formation of non-caseating granulomas. Cardiac involvement occurs in 5-10% of cases but is often underdiagnosed due to its variable presentation, ranging from asymptomatic cases to fatal arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death. We report the case of a patient with cardiac…
Recurrent Dissection of Left Coronary Artery with Extension to the Left Main and Cardiogenic Shock
Anno:
2025
A 42-year-old female arrived to our hospital for epigastric pain: electrocardiogram (EKG) was negative and echocardiography normal but troponin levels were elevated. Coronary angiography revealed a spontaneous dissection of distal left anterior descending artery (LAD) – Type 2b according to Yip-Saw Classification1,2. No angioplasty was performed and she was…
SUDDEN CARDIAC ARREST IN A YOUNG WOMAN: ARRHYTHMIC MITRAL VALVE PROLAPSE OR SOMETHING MORE?
Anno:
2025
Introduction: Mitral annular disjunction (MAD), often associated with mitral valve prolapse (MVP), is a structural heart abnormality that predisposes to severe arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death (SCD), particularly in young patients. We present the case of an 18-year-old woman with MVP and MAD who survived an out-of-hospital cardiac arrest…
DEEP SEDATION WITH ONLY PROPOFOL FOR ELECTIVE EXTERNAL ELECTRICAL CARDIOVERSION OF ATRIAL FIBRILLATION: EXPERIENCE AND SAFETY OF AN CARDIOLOGICAL PROCEDURAL MANAGEMENT
Anno:
2025
Worldwide, atrial fibrillation is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia in adults. Electrical cardioversion is still the preferred method to restore sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation. The main, and probably the only, disadvantage of electrical cardioversion is that it requires deep sedation with anesthetics. The most widely…
EFFICACY OF PERCUTANEOUS STELLATE GANGLION BLOCK IN PATIENTS WITH ARRHYTHMIC STORM: WHICH ROLE DO ANAESTHETICS PLAY? DATA FROM A MULTICENTRE CASE STUDY
Anno:
2025
Introduction Percutaneous stellate ganglion block (PSGB) is gaining traction for the treatment of patients with electrical storm. Recent studies have confirmed its efficacy and safety, however, given the several pharmacological properties, there is a lack of evidence on how different local anaesthetics (LAs) may influence its efficacy. Materials and…
PREDICTING ADVERSE OUTCOMES IN HYPERTROPHIC CARDIOMYOPATHY:THE PIVOTAL ROLE OF CARDIOPULMONARY EXERCISE TESTING
Anno:
2025
Introduction Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a genetically driven myocardial disorder characterized by significant variability in clinical presentation and functional capacity (measured by peak oxygen consumption, pVO2). This study investigates the relationship between functional capacity and adverse events, focusing on rehospitalizations and progression to end-stage HCM. Methods 413 HCM p atients(46%…
DESCRIBING NURSING COMPLEXITY AND CLINICAL OUTCOMES IN A CARDIOVASCULAR SETTING: A SURVIVAL ANALYSIS
Anno:
2025
Background: Nursing complexity has significant implications for patient outcomes, yet it remains an underexplored factor in cardiovascular care. This study investigates the levels of nursing complexity and their impact on clinical characteristics, survival outcomes, hospital readmissions, and emergency department (ED) visits in hospitalized cardiovascular patients. Methods:  A prospective cohort…
