HEALTH LITERACY IN CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE: A SCOPING REVIEW ON EVIDENCE AND NURSING’S ROLE IN PATIENT EMPOWERMENT
Anno:
2026
Background: Health literacy (HL) the ability to access, understand, evaluate, and apply health information, is a critical determinant of cardiovascular disease (CVD) outcomes. Effective management of CVD requires adherence to complex therapies, lifestyle changes, and active self care. Limited HL impairs these processes, leading to poor adherence, worse clinical…
WHEN THYROTOXICOSIS MIMICS STEMI: A CASO OF ACUTE MYOCARDITIS WITH NON OBSTRUCTIVE CORONARY ARTERIES
Anno:
2026
Background. The association between hyperthyroidism and acute myocarditis has been already reported in literature; however, this case presents an unusual scenario without classical hyperthyroidism symptoms or infective myocarditis features, in which the coexistence with thyrotoxicosis suggests a possible but unproven relationship. Case presentation. A 26-year-old male presented with acute…
PATIENT-REPORTED PSYCHOPHYSICAL WELL-BEING IN TRANSTHYRETIN AMYLOID CARDIOMYOPATHY: A COMPARISON BETWEEN FIVE-YEAR FOLLOW-UP COHORTS OF TAFAMIDIS-TREATED AND UNTREATED PATIENTS.
Anno:
2026
Background: Transthyretin Amyloid Cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) is a rare disease associated with a substantial impairment in patients’ psychophysical well-being and quality of life. Purpose: to describe the difference in anxiety, depression, symptom percepition, and fatigue between five years follow-up patients with ATTR-CM treated with tafamidis and those not receiving ATTR-CM…
COMPARATIVE 12-MONTH CARDIOMETABOLIC: IMPACT OF SEMAGLUTIDE VS TIRZEPATIDE: A SYNTHETIC PROPENSITY-MATCHED ANALYSIS
Anno:
2026
Background Objective: deliver a 12-month, harmonized comparison of Semaglutide and Tirzepatide across three shared clinical domains: weight reduction, glycemic improvement, and cardiovascular risk reduction. Because individual patient data from original trials are not available, a synthetic cohort and propensity-score matching framework were used to approximate balanced treatment groups. Methods…
RIGHT VENTRICULAR METASTASIS OF RENAL CELL CARCINOMA AND LATE-ONSET ICI-INDUCED MYOCARDITIS: A COMPLEX CARDIO-ONCOLOGY SCENARIO
Anno:
2026
Introduction: Intracardiac metastasis from renal cell carcinoma (RCC) is an infrequent clinical finding. Immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) have revolutionized cancer therapy but are associated with immune-related adverse events (irAEs). Among these, ICI-induced myocarditis is a rare but potentially fatal complication, typically occurring early after treatment initiation. However, vigilance must…
NON INVASIVE IMAGING FOR THE DIAGNOSIS OF TYPE 3 SPOTANEOUS CORONARY ARTERY DISSECTION: ROLE OF CCTA
Anno:
2026
We report the case of a 61-year-old woman presenting with chest pain radiating to the left arm. EKG showed inferolateral repolarization abnormalities. Laboratory revealed mild elevation in troponin (0.76). Transthoracic echocardiography demonstrated mildly reduced systolic function with posterolateral wall akinesia (ejection fraction 48%). The patient was referred for coronary…
TRICUSPID VALVE OVERRIDING ASSOCIATED WITH A SMALL PERIMEMBRANOUS VENTRICULAR SEPTAL DEFECT: THE ROLE OF MULTIMODALITY IMAGING IN ANATOMICAL DEFINITION AND PROGNOSTIC STRATIFICATION
Anno:
2026
Introduction Tricuspid valve overriding is a rare congenital anomaly of the atrioventricular junction, frequently associated with a ventricular septal defect. Differentiation from more complex conditions, such as tricuspid straddling or unbalanced atrioventricular septal defects, is crucial for accurate prognostic assessment and to avoid unnecessary therapeutic interventions. In this setting,…
IN-HOSPITAL ORGANIZATIONAL MODEL FOR MULTIDISCIPLINARY MANAGEMENT OF PULMONARY EMBOLISM
Anno:
2026
INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary embolism (PE) is associated with high mortality when not promptly diagnosed and adequately treated. The often nonspecific clinical presentation is responsible for the diagnostic difficulty and the frequent finding of PE at autopsy. MATERIALS & METHODS: Since 2022, we have implemented an in-hospital management pathway based on…
CONTRIBUTION OF THE 6-MINUTE WALKING TEST (6MWT) TO THE DEFINITION OF EXERCISE INTENSITY IN CARDIAC REHABILITATION
Anno:
2026
The target heart rate (THR), calculated using the Karvonen formula after a maximal exercise test (ET), defines the correct exercise intensity for each patient (pt). However, some pts referred for cardiac rehabilitation (CR) may not have undergone a ET yet due to clinical or organisational delays. Until an ET…
MASSIVE INTRACARDIAC THROMBOSIS POST EXTRACORPOREAL CIRCULATION FOLLOWING ASCENDING AORTIC REPLACEMENT AND NATIVE AORTIC VALVE RESUSPENSION (TIRONE DAVID). A PARTICULAR CASE.
Anno:
2026
Extracorporeal circulation is associated with a hypercoagulable state that cannot always be controlled with heparin. We present the case of a patient with a massive right atrial thrombosis diagnosed approximately 6 months after ascending aortic valve replacement surgery with native aortic valve resuspension (Tirone David). Case Report A 60-year-old…
