Left Atrial Strain and risk of Atrial Fibrillation after Coronary Artery Bypass-Grafting
Anno:
2025
Aim: Postoperative Atrial Fibrillation (POAF) is a common complication following Coronary Artery Bypass Grafting (CABG), associated with increased morbidity and mortality. Despite numerous studies, predicting which patients will develop POAF remains challenging. Aim of the study is to analyze whether the measurement of preoperative Left Atrial (LA) strain can…

EXERCISE ECHO IN THE EMERGENCY DEPARTMENT
Anno:
2025
Exercise echocardiography is a non-invasive, radiation-free, and cost-effective diagnostic tool for detecting inducible ischemia, with high sensitivity and specificity. Aim of this study was to evaluate its utility in the emergency department (ED) for ruling out angina. The retrospective observational study involved patients presenting to the ED between March…

DIASTOLIC-TO-SYSTOLIC CORONARY VELOCITY RATIO ON REST TRANSTHORACIC ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY AND OUTCOME IN 1433 SUBJECTS WITH SUSPECTED CORONARY ARTERY DISEASE
Anno:
2025
Background. A low coronary diastolic-systolic flow velocity ratio in resting condition (DSVR) is associated with functionally significant coronary artery disease (CAD), but whether it is associated with cardiovascular outcome is not known. While commonly perceived as an exclusively invasive measurement, DSVR is in fact also incidentally measured during stress…

LEFT ATRIAL STRAIN AS A MARKER OF ATRIAL DYSFUNCTION IN PAROXYSMAL ATRIAL FIBRILLATION
Anno:
2025
Background and Purpose: Atrial fibrillation is a progressive condition characterized by structural, functional, and electrical remodeling of the left atrium (LA). Left atrial strain (LAS), assessed using speckle-tracking imaging, is a sensitive marker of atrial function. A reduction in LAS has been linked to atrial remodeling and an increased…

PITFALLS IN HEMANGIOMA MULTIMODALITY IMAGING
Anno:
2025
INTRODUCTION: Primitive cardiac neoplasms are rare and usually diagnosed after death, mainly due to the nonspecificity of signs and symptoms. Among the benign cardiac tumors, cavernous angiomas represent the 2.8%. The appearance goes from childhood to adulthood. Symptoms can vary according to the localization, dimensions and the cardiac structures…

A HIGH-PRESSURE MYSTERY: UNVEILING THE BODY’S HIDDEN SHORTCUT
Anno:
2025
Background: An arteriovenous fistula (AVF) is an abnormal connection between an artery and a vein, bypassing the capillary network. Acquired AVFs are most commonly caused by trauma or surgery and are typically located in peripheral sites. At the cardiac level, AVFs may induce a high-output state, potentially leading to…

Prominent Eustachian valve and Wolff-Parkinson-White: an unexpected association or a casual finding ?
Anno:
2025
Eustachian valve is a remnant of the right venous valve of the sinus venosus represented by fold of endocardium originating from the anterior margin of the inferior vena cava (IVC) orifice, typically extends towards the lower end of the crista terminalis, while the medial horn joins the thebesian valve…

AN UNBEATABLE MUSHROOM
Anno:
2025
A 62-year-old patient with a history of an acute myeloid leukemia in follow-up, underwent an allotransplantation in February 2019 complicated by grade 4 acute intestinal GVHD and a previous sepsis episode caused by Staphylococcus epidermidis. In October 2019 the patient was affected by an Aspergillus Terreus endophthalmitis of the…

THE DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGE OF A RARE CASE OF CARDIAC MYXOMA: THE CRUCIAL ROLE OF ECHOCARDIOGRAPHY
Anno:
2025
Cardiac myxomas (CM) are the most common primary cardiac tumors in adults, predominantly located in the left atrium. Biatrial involvement is rare. Although benign, CM can lead to significant complications, often requiring surgical removal. Echocardiography is the primary diagnostic tool, though variable morphology can make diagnosis challenging. A 53-year-old…

Annular Disjunction and Post-systolic-shortening
Anno:
2025
Introduction: We report a case correlating Mitral Annular Disjunction (MAD) and Post-systolic-shortening (PSS). Case Report: A 46-year-old male, symptomatic for palpitations. Ventricular extrasystole on ECG, posterior mitral leaflet prolapse, and MAD with normal systolic and diastolic function on Cardiac Echocardiography. We studied speckle tracking,  with demonstration of PSS at…
