Although the importance of a comprehensive assessment that also includes nursing assessment has been known for several years, there are a variety of approaches and standards in…
CAROTID PLAQUES TREATED WITH BEMBEDOIC ACID: A 7% OF REDUCTION IN 6 MONTHS
Anno:
2026
Bempedoic acid were indicated to be able to reduce the hypercholesterolemia add on to statin and ezetimibe therapy. We investigated the effect of the same treatment in carotid atherosclerosis after a follow up of 6 months. Methods A continuous series of 22 patients were enrolled in a prospective analysis….
AGE IS NOT PROGNOSIS: THE VALUE OF MULTIDIMENSIONAL AND FUNCTIONAL ASSESSMENT IN AN OCTOGENARIAN WITH WILD-TYPE TRANSTHYRETIN CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS
Anno:
2026
An 88-year-old man with hypertension, dyslipidemia, mild glucose intolerance, and chronic kidney disease (eGFR ~40 ml/min) was reassessed for known wild-type transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTRwt) , diagnosed in 2022 after an initial episode of heart failure. The patient remained clinically stable and currently reports no exertional dyspnea, consistent with…
HIGH PREVALENCE OF ADVANCED CARDIOVASCULAR-KIDNEY-METABOLIC SYNDROME IN CARDIAC REHABILITATION PATIENTS AND THERAPEUTIC IMPLICATIONS: A SINGLE-DAY OBSERVATIONAL STUDY
Anno:
2026
Background: Cardiovascular-Kidney-Metabolic Syndrome (CKM syndrome) is a clinical entity with major prognostic implications, characterized by a complex interrelationship between cardiac, renal, and metabolic dysfunctions, for which several therapeutic strategies have proven highly effective. While often associated with advanced chronic kidney disease (CKD), its prevalence in cardiac patients without severe…
CHALLENGING PACEMAKER IMPLANT IN SINUS NODE DYSFUNCTION AND CARDIAC INVOLVEMENT IN ERDHEIM-CHESTER DISEASE: A MULTIMODALITY IMAGING GUIDED PROCEDURE

MORTALITY RISK IN SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS–ASSOCIATED PULMONARY ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION: CONCORDANCE BETWEEN THERAPEUTIC RESPONSE, HEMODYNAMIC IMPROVEMENT AND VALIDATED CLINICAL SCORES
Anno:
2026
Background Systemic sclerosis–associated pulmonary arterial hypertension (SSc-PAH) is a severe complication affecting 15–18% of SSc patients, with a three-year survival rate below 50%. Early diagnosis is crucial to initiate targeted therapy. Although risk stratification tools such as the ESC/ERS 3-strata model and REVEAL 2.0 score are widely used, they…
UN UNUSUAL CASE OF TRICUSPID REGURGITATION
Anno:
2026
BACKGROUNG Significant tricuspid regurgitation affects 3–6% of the general population and is associated with reduced quality of life, increased hospitalizations and mortality. Echocardiography is the first-line imaging modality for assessing etiology, mechanism, and severity. CLINICAL CASE We describe a 58-year-old woman with hypertension and active smoking, without significant prior…
FROM ELECTRICAL DISEASE TO STRUCTURAL CARDIOMYOPATHY: A CHALLENGIES IN RISK STRATIFICATION IN ASYMPTOMATIC LMNA VARIANT CARRIERS

2026
Background: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) related to LMNA mutations is characterized by involvement of the atrioventricular (AV) conduction system, atrial arrhythmias and a high risk of malignant ventricular arrhythmias (MVA), even in the presence of mildly reduced or preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Case: We report a familial case…
