Transtyretin cardiac amyloidosis in elderly patients: always a wild type?
Anno:
2024
Background: Transthyretin amyloidosis (ATTR) exists in two forms: a genetic form transmitted by autosomal dominant inheritance (ATTRv) and a wild type form (ATTRwt). Clinically, the hereditary form tends to have an early onset in adulthood and it is characterized by a particular tropism for nervous as well as cardiac…
DIAGNOSTIC CRITERIA FOR NON-DILATED LEFT VENTRICULAR CARDIOMYOPATHY WITH PROGNOSTIC SIGNIFICANCE
Anno:
2024
Background: Non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) is a novel diagnostic entity defined as non-ischemic LV scarring or fatty replacement regardless of the presence of global or regional wall motion abnormalities, or isolated global LV hypokinesia without scarring. While the absence of LV dilation and systolic dysfunction are implicit, no…
Genotype-phenotype correlation in a single centre cohort of patients affected by hypertrophic cardiomyiopathy
Anno:
2024
Background:Over the last 30 years, major advances have been made in the identification of the genetic basis of Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy (HCM) and the spectrum of sarcomeric genes has been gradually extended to non-sarcomeric genes. Multiple attempts to identify genes with an unfavorable impact on prognosis failed; data for genotype-phenotype…
ALL THE ROADS LEAD TO THE MYSTERIOUS DISEASE
Anno:
2024
A 58-year-old man with familiarity for sudden cardiac death was accepted to the hospital for dyspnea. Two years before he underwent cardiac angiography which showed a significative lesion of the descending artery which was treated with the placement of a drug eluting stent. For the appearance of an atrio-ventricular…
ARRHYTHMOGENIC RIGHT VENTRICULAR CARDIOMYOPATHY AND CARDIAC SARCOIDOSIS: THE GREY ZONE
Anno:
2024
Cardiac sarcoidosis (CS) is a rare multisystem disorder characterized by granulomatous infiltration of the myocardium, whose clinical manifestations can be extremely heterogeneus. We report the case of a 47-year-old man with a previous diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVD). In history he had a marked arrhythmic pattern with…
ACQUIRED LQTS WITH VENTRICULAR ARRHYTMIAS IN METHADONE AND CARDIOMYOPATHY AT ONSET
Anno:
2024
INTRODUCTION: Methadone is associated with QT interval prolongation and increased risk of ventricular arrhythmias such as torsade de pointes (TdP), particularly if associated with other contributing factors. The management is complex, considering that in the majority of cases methadone suspension is impossible. CLINICAL CASE: man, 39y, history of past…
An incidental diagnosis of arrhythmogenic right ventricular dysplasia
Anno:
2024
72-year-old patient with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation and hypertension. Mother died suddenly at the age of 40 from an unknown cause. The patient worked at a high physical and emotional intensity (firefighter) and denies syncopal episodes. During an hospitalisation for pneumonia, an echocardiogram was performed that showed dilatation of the…
DESMOPLAKIN ASSOCIATED NON DILATED LEFT VENTRICULAR CARDIOMYOPATHY TREATED WITH ANAKINRA
Anno:
2024
A 24 years old female patient experienced,from 2010 to November 2023,12 myocarditis-like episodes, often related to emotional stress, characterized by chest pain,increased markers of myocardial necrosis, normal C-reactive Protein values,normal left ventricular systolic function on echocardiogram.She was admitted to our division for the first time in July 2019 because…
Multifocal atrial tachycardia and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy in three patients with Costello syndrome
Anno:
2024
Introduction: Costello syndrome is a rare disease, caused by mutation of the HRAS gene, associated with intellectual disability, growth retardation, facial dimorphisms. Cardiac abnormalities, mainly cardiac hypertrophy and multifocal atrial tachycardia, are present in 1/3 of patients. Clinical cases: From 2019 to 2023, 3 newborns with Costello syndrome came…
