Global longitudinal strain as a predictor of response to cardiac contractility modulation in patients with heart failure: a case series
Anno:
2023
BACKGROUND: Cardiac contractility modulation (CCM) in heart failure (HF) patients with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is an innovative therapy which may contribute to increased exercise capacity and quality of life and reduced hospitalizations. With speckle-tracking echocardiography and global longitudinal strain (GLS), changes in myocardial function can be detected with…
LEFT ATRIAL STRAIN RESPONSE TO HEART RATE IN PATIENTS AFFECTED OR NOT BY CHRONIC HEART FAILURE: CLINICAL CORRELATES
Anno:
2023
Background and aim of the study. Left atrium (LA) is poorly understood in many pathological conditions and it is often considered a passive bystander of these pathophysiologic alterations. In the setting of impaired heart rate related LV response, the LA function could play a relevant role. The relevance of LA has been…
Next Generation myocarditis
Anno:
2023
A 75-year-old overweight man, affected by hypertension, diabetes mellitus and atrial fibrillation since 2020. After 3 unsuccessful attempts of electrical cardioversion it was opted for a strategy of rate control with beta blocker and anticoagulant therapy with Rivaroxaban 20 mg. Following episodes of rectal bleeding; adenocarcinoma of the colon…
Transcatheter ablation of supraventricular arrhythmias in patients suffering from hypertrophic cardiomyopathy: a propensity score-based analysis
Anno:
2023
BACKGROUND To date, the prognostic impact of transcatheter ablation (T-Abl) of supraventricular arrhythmias (SA) in HCM patients has not been satisfactorily elucidated.   OBJECTIVES To assess the impact of T-Abl on clinical outcomes in a large cohort of HCM patients.   METHODS In this retrospective multicenter study, 570 consecutive…
The ratio between left atrial reservoir and septal E/e’: a new parameter reflecting atrio-ventricular function which is associated with a worse outcome among heart failure outpatients
Anno:
2023
Background. Two-dimensional speckle tracking (2D-ST) analysis allows to evaluate both atrial and ventricular function. Recently, it has been demonstrated that the ratio between left atrial reservoir (LAr) assessed by 2D-ST and the E/e’ ratio could allow a more accurate estimation of left ventricular filling pressure. Aim of the study….
Heart failure during acute coronary syndrome and the long-term risk of cancer death. The ABC-9* Study on Heart Disease.
Anno:
2023
Introduction: Emerging evidence suggests that patients with coronary artery disease carry an increased risk of cancer death. Methods: To assess the association between heart failure (HF) during hospitalization with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and the very long-term cancer death risk, we enrolled 572 patients admitted with ACS to 3…
THE HEART LOGIC EXPERIENCE IN OUR CENTER “SANTA MARIA DELLA MISERICORDIA” HOSPITAL, UDINE
Anno:
2023
BACKGROUND: Outpatient monitoring of patients with chronic heart failure (HF) may result in HF exacerbation and subsequent hospitalizations that may be avoided with an early recognition. The HeartLogic (HL) algorithm automatically calculates a daily HF index based on values including heart sounds, markers of ventilation, thoracic impedance, activity and…
S-ICD offers a potential synergistic therapy for heart failure patients with an indication for ICD implantation and candidates for CCM implantation
Anno:
2023
CCM (cardiac contractility modulation) is a very promising therapy in heart failure patients as it allows, by increasing intracellular calcium handling, an improvement in cardiac contractility, ejection fraction, and patient quality of life. It delivers high-energy (7.5 V) and long-duration (about 20 milliseconds) pulses in absolute refractory period through…
RBM20 VARIANTS RELATED CARDIOMYOPATHY: AN ITALIAN CASE SERIES
Anno:
2023
Background: RNA-binding motif protein 20 (RBM20) regulates post-transcriptional splicing, particularly in sarcomeric, but also in other cardiac genes crucial for homeostasis. RBM20 variants are a rare cause of cardiomyopathy (CMP), but genotype-phenotype correlation is still elusive, starting from the type of CMP (dilated, non-compacted, hypertrophic, and even restrictive phenotypes…
QRS INDEX TO PREDICT CARDIAC RESYNCHRONIZATION THERAPY RESPONSE: A TRICENTRIC STUDY
Anno:
2023
BACKGROUND: Several studies have evaluated the role of QRS duration (QRSd) or QRS narrowing as predictor of response to cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in order to reduce non-responders. However, their results have been conflicting. In our study we analyzed retrospectively a cohort of patients from three centers to better correlate…
