PREVALENCE OF FIBROMUSCULAR DYSPLASIA SCREENING IN SPONTANEOUS CORONARY ARTERY DISSECTION: DATA FROM A SINGLE SECONDARY CENTRE
Anno:
2024
Background: Extra-coronary involvement is identified in more than 50% of patients presenting with SCAD, mainly as fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) pattern. This association might suggest that they share at least partially some pathomechanisms. However, no recommendations on FMD screening in SCAD patients exist to date in international consensus documents, and…
A VENTRICULAR TACHYCARDIA CASE NOT TREATABLE WITH TRANSCATHETER ABLATION DUE TO APICAL THROMBOSIS OF THE LEFT VENTRICLE RESOLVED WITH RADIOTHERAPY BASED ON THE NON-INVASIVE MAPPING SYSTE
Anno:
2024
The clinical case focuses on a 52-year-old man smoker, heavy alcohol consumer. In 2017 he began with sustained ventricular tachycardia (VT) effectively treated with DC-shock. The following ECG showed signs of anterior necrosis. Severe left ventricular (LV) dilatation, apical thrombosis and severe impairment of LV function were found on…

Today, it is not full explored the prognosis of subjects hospitalized with AHF and treated with NIV. METHODS: we retrospectively evaluated subjects hospitalized with AHF between 2022 and 2023 in intensive care unit. We…
SPORT INDUCED QT PROLONGATION: DETECTION AND MANAGEMENT OF THIS NEW COMPLEX ENTITY
Anno:
2024
Introduction: Intense exercise training has been recently associated with QTc prolongation and morphologic repolarization abnormalities, whereas detraining, in asymptomatic genotype negative patients, was associated with ECG normalization. Data about this condition and its best management are scant. Case: an asymptomatic, 16 years old, competitive basketball player (training load 11…
Cardiac magnetic resonance in a case of recurrent mesalazine-induced myocarditis
Anno:
2024

Case report: We report the case of a 25-year-old man in apparent good health status, mild smoker, who accessed our…
Unusual patient in Cath lab: a case report
Anno:
2024
Background: Acute coronary syndromes occur in daily cardiologist’s practice. Atherosclerosis is doubtless the main etiology; however, it exists an alternative physiopathological mechanism: spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD). Atherosclerosis and SCAD do not share the same risk factors: typical SCAD epidemiology comprehends young women often in pregnancy. SCAD is caused…
