DIASTOLIC DYSFUNCTION EVALUATION IN CARDIAC AMYLOIDOSIS: BEYOND TRADITIONAL PARAMETERS TO DISCRIMINATE BETWEEN TRUE HEART FAILURE WITH PRESERVED EJECTION FRACTION AND MIMICS
Anno:
2024
BACKGROUND Diastolic dysfunction in cardiac amyloidosis (CA), according to current guidelines, can be classified using mitral flow velocities, mitral annular e’ velocity, E/e’ ratio, tricuspid regurgitation jet and left atrial (LA) maximal volume. However, LA minimal volume and the ratio between LA and left ventricular (LV) volumes at end-diastole,…

ADVANCED CARDIAC IMAGING IN LIVER TRANSPLANTATION ECHOCARDIOGRAPHIC VENTRICULAR STRAIN AS PROGNOSTIC TOOLS
Anno:
2024
While cardiac involvement in the end-stage liver disease (ESLD) is a known condition, the characteristics of cardiac function in cirrhotic cardiomyopathy and their effects on candidates to liver transplant (LT) are still vague. The evaluation of right ventricular failure (RVF) in liver transplant candidates has been revolutionized by advanced…

Isolated right ventricular infarction occurs only in about 3% of the overall myocardial ischemic episodes. Clinical presentation is often insidious and variable case by case. The correct diagnosis is therefore crucial for a proper management, and a good prognosis in the short and long term. A 72-year-old patient suffering…

BETWEEN SCYLLA AND CHARYBDIS: MULTIPLE LEFT ATRIAL THROMBI DESPITE ORAL ANTICOAGULATION AND ANTIPLATELET THERAPY IN A PATIENT CANDIDATE FOR LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION
Anno:
2024
INTRODUCTION: Left atrial (LA) thrombosis usually occurs in patients affected by atrial fibrillation (AF), generally involving the left atrial appendage (LAA). We present the unexpected echocardiographic finding of multiple LA thrombi despite an adequate antithrombotic strategy. CASE PRESENTATION: A 76-year-old lady underwent transesophageal echocardiographic examination (TOE) to assess eligibility…
