Inverted T-waves and coronary aneurysms: the hidden drama of a routine evaluation.
Anno:
2025
An 82-year-old Caucasian patient was admitted to the surgical department for an endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography due to an ampullary tumor of the Vater's papilla. Medical history includes: active smoking, abdominal aortic aneurysm below the renal arteries and chronic kidney disease. During routine preoperative evaluations, symmetric inverted T waves were…
Parenteral prostanoids in older PAH patients
Anno:
2025
Background. The use and effectiveness of parenteral prostanoids in older patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) are unknown. We investigated the association of paretenteral prostanoids use with mortality in elderly PAH patients. Methods. PAH patients aged ≥65 years enrolled in the FOCUS-PAH registry between 2001 and 2023 were included….
Towards a prognostically meaningful definition of non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy
Anno:
2025
Background: Non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) has been defined as non-ischemic LV scarring and/or fatty replacement and/or hypokinesia, without LV dilation. This definition omits specific criteria for LV dilation or even dysfunction. Methods: We identified all non-ischemic cardiomyopathy patients undergoing a cardiovascular magnetic resonance scan from 2012 to 2022…
The challenge of secondary cardiovascular prevention in very high Lipoprotein (a) level. A case report
Anno:
2025
Background While advances in technology and procedural techniques have significantly improved outcomes post-PCI, two pharmacological strategies have gained particular attention for their effectiveness in reducing long-term cardiovascular (CV) risk: antiplatelet therapies and lipid-lowering therapies (LLT). The 10-year recurrence risk for major CV events remains as high as 10–30%, due…
Haemophilus Influenzae-related pleuro-pericarditis conditioning cardiac tamponade in a patient with B lymphocyte depletion and hypogammaglobulinemia after CAR-T therapy
Anno:
2025
Introduction: Bacterial pericarditis is a rare but rapidly progressing form of pericarditis, mostly affecting immunosuppressed patients. We report a case of Haemophilus influenzae-related pleuro-pericarditis resulting in cardiac tamponade in a patient with severe hypogammaglobulinemia after Chimeric Antigen Receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapy for a diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL).  Case…
Wearable cardioverter defibrillator : adherence and impact on perceived health status in a single centre experience
Anno:
2025
Background Nowadays a wearable cardioverter defibrillator  (WCD) is reccomended in current guidelines in patients with transient risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). A crucial factor for the effectiveness of the WCD is adequate patient compliance. In literature patients  wore WCD with different  wearing time between first randomized trial and…
Applicability and usability of telemonitoring devices and Apps for patients with heart failure and diabetes type II.
Anno:
2025
Background: Optimized therapy, self-monitoring, and appropriate lifestyle choices can reduce or delay the deterioration of patients with chronic heart failure (CHF) and type II diabetes (T2DM). Telemedicine can play a crucial role in early symptom detection through medical devices and applications. Our aim was to evaluate the applicability, usability,…
A case of relapsing of spontaneous coronary artery dissection: if you hear hoof beats think of horses not zebras
Anno:
2025
A 62-year-old woman presented to the emergency department complaining of chest pain. She had an history of previous spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) of the circumflex coronary artery. At that time the transthoracic echocardiogram (TE) showed no regional wall motion abnormalities, and a mitral valve prolapse with moderate regurgitation….
NEW-ONSET RIGHT BUNDLE BRANCH BLOCK AND TRANSIENT ST-SEGMENT ELEVATION INDUCED BY TRANSCUTANEOUS AORTIC VALVE IMPLANTATION: A DISTINCT ELECTROCARDIOGRAPHIC AND CLINICAL CASE. Key words: LMCA occlusion, TAVI, Right Bundle Branch Block
Anno:
2025
Background: The occurrence of left bundle branch block (LBBB) during transcutaneous aortic valve implantation (TAVI) has an incidence of 5 to 65% and is due to mechanical damage to the conduction system, while the right bundle branch block (RBBB) or left posterior hemiblock (LPH) are very rare and associated…
An underestimated stenosis
Anno:
2025
Introduction. It has been known for some time that the angiographic evaluation of coronary stenosis presents several qualitative and quantitative limitations. The clinic is usually a good guide when talking about typical exertional angina or in the context of acute coronary syndromes but in the case of some hypokinetic…
