A GIANT PSEUDOANEURYSM OF MITRAL-AORTIC INTERVALVULAR FIBROSA PRESENTING AS RECENT-ONSET ANGINA AND CARDIAC ARREST DUE TO VENTRICULAR FIBRILLATION.
Anno:
2023
A 66-year-old man was suddenly referred to the emergency department (ED) for an extra-hospital cardiac arrest due to ventricular fibrillation, promptly treated by a single DC shock. Four months prior, he had undergone aortic valve replacement with a biological valve prosthesis (BVP, Perimount Magna n. 23) for severe aortic…
A FISTULA BETWEEN LVOT AND LEFT ATRIUM: AN UNKNOWN ORIGIN
Anno:
2023
History of presentation A 76-year-old woman presented to our EchoLab for worsening exertional dyspnea. Few weeks prior the patient underwent cardiological examination that showed heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) with bilateral pleuric effusion, severe mitralic regurgitation (MR), moderate tricuspid regurgitation (TR) with an estimated systolic pulmonary artery…
THREE-DIMENSIONAL RIGHT VENTRICULAR ARTERIAL COUPLING IN HEART FAILURE: PROGNOSTIC COMPARISON WITH TRADITIONAL METHODS
Anno:
2023
Background: Right ventricular (RV) contractile function and pulmonary artery (PA) pressures influence outcomes in patients with heart failure (HF). Analysis of RV-arterial coupling (RVAC) from pressure-volume loops is not routinely performed. Several non-invasive RVAC methods by echocardiography have been described in patients with HF. The aim of this study was…
