PREGNANCY AND HEART DISEASE: A SINGLE-CENTRE STUDY
Anno:
2026
Background. Pregnancy is a crucial moment in women’s life, characterized by changes in the cardiovascular system, that may translate into risks for patients with congenital or acquired heart disease. Methods. In this retrospective observational study, we evaluated the clinical-instrumental trends of heart disease patients referred to a single Centre…
LONG MYOCARDIAL BRIDGING IN THE LEFT ANTERIOR DESCENDING ARTERY :A CASE REPORT
Anno:
2026
Background: Myocardial bridge (MB) is a tunneled segment of an epicardial coronary artery, running deep and for varying lengths in the context of the myocardial muscle. The clinical picture of MB ranges from the asymptomatic presentation to an acute coronary syndrome and sudden cardiac death. Case report : We…
FONTAN REGISTRY: A SINGLE-CENTER RETROSPECTIVE STUDY ON LONG-TERM FOLLOW-UP IN FONTAN PATIENTS
Anno:
2026
Background: The Fontan procedure is a palliative surgical strategy for patients with single-ventricle congenital heart disease. Although surgical advances have improved survival, Fontan patients remain exposed to multiple late complications, including arrhythmias, thromboembolic events (TE), protein-losing enteropathy (PLE), and liver disease. Purpose: To evaluate long-term clinical outcomes in adult…
EXERCISE STRESS ECHOCARDIOGRAPY IN CONGENITAL HEART DISEASE
Anno:
2026
Exercise stress echocardiography (ESE) has proven to be a valuable diagnostic tool in various clinical settings, recently, evidence has shown that this technique can also be useful in evaluating patients with congenital heart disease (CHD). We present our personal experience with the use of this method in a cohort…
ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC STRAIN AND NT-PROBNP IN THE SYSTEMIC RIGHT VENTRICLE: COMPLEMENTARY INDICATORS OF HEMODYNAMIC SEVERITY
Anno:
2026
Background: The systemic right ventricle (sRV), present in patients with d-TGA after atrial switch and in congenitally corrected TGA (ccTGA), is chronically pressure-loaded, leading to ventricular remodeling and progressive dysfunction. In this setting, markers of myocardial mechanics and wall stress integrating imaging and biomarkers are useful. Aim: To evaluate…
COR TRIATRIATUM SINISTRUM IN A YOUNG WOMAN: A CASE REPORT
Anno:
2026
37-year-old female patient came to our attention for episodes of chest pain, modifying with breathing, lasting for hours, always self-limiting, hoarseness, productive cough and hyperpyrexia, only partially responsive to paracetamol. On admission patient was symptomatic with intermittent chest pain, which worsened with coughing and inspiration, partially relieved by sitting…
THE CLINICAL IMPLICATIONS OF RENAL DOPPLER ULTRASONOGRAPHY FOR PREDICTING CHRONIC KIDNEY DISEASE AND FONTAN FAILURE
Anno:
2026
Background: Renal congestion caused by increased central venous pressure has been one of the main pathophysiologic findings in the Fontan associated kidney dysfunction.Despite widespread availability of screening tools for renal function, data regarding the kidney diseases in Fontan patients are very limited.We aim to characterize new approaches to evaluate…
MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO PREGNANCY IN WOMEN WITH MARFAN SYNDROME: A CASE SERIES
Anno:
2026
Background: Pregnancy in women with Marfan syndrome (MFS) carries a high risk of cardiovascular complications, particularly aortic dissection, due to hemodynamic and hormonal changes. Multidisciplinary management of pregnancy and delivery and continue risk reassessment are essential to minimize maternal and fetal complications. Case Series: We report three cases of…
THE ROLE AND RESULTS OF THE PREGNANCY HEART TEAM: 2025 DATA FROM MASSA INTEGRATED BIRTH CENTER
Anno:
2026
Introduction Cardiovascular risk in pregnancy is rising, driven by a higher average maternal age at first conception and an increasing number of women with congenital heart defects (CHD) who are successfully completing pregnancies. Furthermore, for a fetus with a prenatal diagnosis of CHD, giving birth in a center with…
IMPACT OF SPECIALIZED MONITORING ON THE RISK OF MAJOR CARDIAC EVENTS IN PREGNANT WOMEN WITH TETRALOGY OF FALLOT
Anno:
2026
Introduction Repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (ToF) exposes pregnant women to significant cardiovascular risks, including Major Adverse Cardiac Events (MACE: clinically relevant arrhythmia or heart failure), often due to residual lesions such as pulmonary regurgitation. This study evaluates maternal and perinatal outcomes in a high-risk ToF cohort, analyzing the impact…
