CONGRESS ABSTRACT

Introduction: In HELIOS-B(NCT04153149), vutrisiran significantly reduced the risk of the primary endpoint composite of all-cause mortality(ACM) and recurrent cardiovascular(CV) events, and met all secondary endpoints(including ACM at 42months), vs placebo in patients with transthyretin amyloidosis with cardiomyopathy(ATTR-CM) in both the overall and monotherapy (patients not receiving tafamidis at baseline)…

Background: Takotsubo syndrome may follow an abruptadrenergic discharge; pheochromocytoma-related forms are uncommon but tend to be severe, with ischaemia/vasospasm, pulmonary oedema, arrhythmias and shock. Case presentation: A 57-year-old woman with long-standing paroxysmal hypertension and a 5-cm right adrenal mass wasadmitted for morpho-functional assessment of suspectedpheochromocytoma. During the diagnostic pathway,…

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…

BACKGROUND Resistant arterial hypertension carries a high cardiovascular risk and remains challenging to control. Renal sympathetic denervation (RDN) is an interventional option for carefully selected patients. CLINICAL CASE A 58-year-old man presented with long-standing resistant arterial hypertension. Past medical history included recent NSTEMI treated with drug-coated balloon angioplasty, peripheral…

Background: Narrative Medicine captures the lived experience of acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and may reveal sex- and gender-related patterns that shape symptom interpretation, emergency activation, adherence and rehabilitation. NARGEN maps post-AMI narratives to generate actionable targets for personalized secondary prevention. Methods: NARGEN is an observational, single-centre narrative-medicine study at…

Background: Takotsubo cardiomyopathy ( TTS ) is an acute,typically reversible form of stress-induced left ventricular dysfunction characterized by transient non-coronary wall motion abnormalities.It’s often triggered by severe physical or emotional stress,viral infections and neurological disorders.The occurrence of TTS in the specific context of West Nile Virus encephalitis is exceedingly…
