ENHANCED RISK PREDICTION IN NON-ISCHEMIC CARDIOMYOPATHY : THE ROLE OF CARDIAC MRI TISSUE CHARACTERIZATION
Anno:
2025
Background: Non-ischemic cardiomyopathy (NICM) with reduced ejection fraction poses significant challenges for risk stratification regarding adverse life-threatening events. This study investigated the prognostic role of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) parameters in predicting events in this population. Methods: This is a retrospective, observational study involving 57 consecutive patients newly diagnosed  with NICM…

The value of fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy
Anno:
2025
Background: Late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) is an important prognostic marker in patients with Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) and when its extent is >15% it is associated with high risk of sudden cardiac death (SCD). Aim: We proposed a novel method of Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR), the LGE- dispersion mapping, to…

NOT EVERYTHING IS WHAT IT SEEMS
Anno:
2025
A 66-year-old hypertensive male called emergency services for respiratory distress. Upon arrival, he was diaphoretic and hypotensive. A FAST ultrasound revealed a large pericardial effusion, and the ECG showed ST-segment elevation in V5-V6. The patient was transferred to the emergency department, where severe pericardial effusion with early haemodynamic compromise…

THE DIAGNOSTIC AND PROGNOSTIC ROLE OF CARDIAC MRI IN PATIENTS WITH TROPONINE-POSITIVE CHEST PAIN AND UNUBSTRUCTED CORONARIES
Anno:
2025
Patients with ACS and unobstructed coronary arteries represent a clinical dilemma and their diagnosis and management is quite variable in current practice.  A 69-year-old man, who underwent valvuloplasty in 2013 for severe mitral regurgitation, presents with troponin-positive typical chest pain and a newly diagnosed RBBB that is identified as…

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…

A mysterious case of Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis (NBTE) in a young woman with extensive ischemic stroke.
Anno:
2025
Patient presentation  A 52 years-old woman was admitted to the ER due to a complaint of left-sided hand clumsiness, with fluctuating dysesthesias. Routine blood work-up and Head CT scan were unremarkable. She was admitted to the local Stroke Unit. Initial work up  In the evening of day two left-sided…

ETIOLOGY-SPECIFIC CORONARY ARTERY CALCIUM SCORE THRESHOLDS FOR CARDIOVASCULAR RISK STRATIFICATION IN LIVER TRANSPLANT CANDIDATES
Anno:
2025
Obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a major concern in liver transplant candidates, yet non-invasive predictive models for its assessment are lacking. As a result, many candidates undergo unnecessary coronary angiographies (CAG), often revealing no significant coronary lesions, which result in expensive investigations that delays or complicates the transplant…

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…

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…

MYOCARDIAL BRIDGING AND INDUCED ISCHEMIA: A CONTROVERSIAL ISSUE DURING THE PREPARTICIPATION SCREENING IN MASTER ATHLETES
Anno:
2025
Background: Myocardial bridging (MB) consists of the intramyocardial course of a coronary artery. The evaluation of the MB-induced ischemia, caused by the compression of the “tunneled” tract during the systolic phase, represents a debated issue during preparticipation screening. Specifically, the assessment of MB hemodynamic effects becomes a crucial factor…
