Clinical Outcomes of Axillary-Implanted Impella 5.0/5.5 for Ischemic Cardiogenic Shock: A Retrospective Single-Center Cohort Preliminary Analysis
Anno:
2025
Background: cardiogenic shock (CS) remains a major complication of acute myocardial infarction (AMI), contributing significantly to morbidity and mortality. Temporary mechanical circulatory support (t-MCS) has gained prominence in CS management, also serving as a bridge during high-risk percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI). While the DanGer Shock Trial demonstrated the superiority of…
Relationship between diuretic therapy, sodium intake, urine sodium levels, and plasmatic levels of Renin, Aldosterone, Copeptin and NT-proBNP in patients in NYHA III-IV class.
Anno:
2025
Hyponatremia, the activation of the Renin- Angiotensin- Aldosterone System (RAAS) and the Ariginine-Vasopressin (AVP) are negative prognostic factors in patients with Heart Failure (HF). Data on the relationship between these variables and Neurohormonal activation are limited, in particular for what concerns the AVP. We studied the sodium balance, the changes…
PERIPHERAL DECONGESTION WITH FUROSEMIDE IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE HEART FAILURE IS ASSOCIATED TO REDUCTION IN HIGH-SENSITIVE C-REACTIVE PROTEIN
Anno:
2025
BACKGROUND the relationship between congestion and inflammation in heart failure is still challenging. Despite the literature, there is no definite data on the complex relationship between the two entities. AIMS We evaluated the relationship between peripheral and systemic inflammation before and after diuretic decongestion in patients with acute heart…
IMPACT OF INTERMITTENT LEVOSIMENDAN INFUSIONS ON HEART TRANSPLANTATION
Anno:
2025
INTRODUCTION While Heart transplantation (HTx) remains the gold standard treatment for Advanced heart failure (AHF), the short donor availability prolongs the risk of long awaiting times, favoring the rate of re-hospitalization and development of end-organ damage and pulmonary artery hypertension, conditions worsening post transplantation outcomes.  Intermittent Levosimendan infusions (ILIs)…
REvealing the progNostic Accuracy of different gLomerular filtration rate estiMation formulas in hEart faiLure patients with reduCed ejection fraction and various degrees of Kidney faIlure: the RENAL-MECKI study
Anno:
2025
Background: Appropriate interpretation of kidney function is essential for clinical and therapeutic management of heart failure (HF). In HF patients, chronic kidney disease plays a critical role and impacts prognosis. In this study we aimed at evaluating the prognostic accuracy of five glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimation formulas in…
WHEN MITOCHONDRIAL DISEASE MIMICS FULMINANT MYOCARDITIS: UNUSUAL ONSET OF CARNITINE PALMITYL TRANSFERASE II DEFICIENCY
Anno:
2025
We report the case of a 16-year-old patient, admitted at Bambino Gesù Hospital for cardiogenic shock. He was a competitive athlete with history of sporadic episodes of myalgias and elevated CPK. One week before he had an episode of headache and prolonged fasting during which he performed intense workout….
Wide-QRS Tachycardia Driven by Acidosis and Cocaine: Analyzing Details When Shock Fails
Anno:
2025
The differential diagnosis of wide-QRS tachycardia is among the most complex challenges in cardiology, particularly in emergency settings. The diagnostic difficulty is magnified in critical situations where immediate stabilization of hemodynamically unstable patients is paramount, often precluding comprehensive diagnostic evaluation. A 21-year-old male with no prior medical history was…
THE PROGNOSTIC VALUE OF NON-INVASIVE VENTILATION IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE HEART FAILURE HOSPITALIZED IN CARDIAC INTENSIVE CARE UNIT
Anno:
2025
AIMS: An increasing number of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) are initially treated with non-invasive ventilation (NIV). The impact of NIV on their prognosis is still a matter of debate. The aim of this study was to evaluate the exact role of NIV on the prognosis of patients…
THE INITIAL RESULTS OF THE TELECUORE PROJECT
Anno:
2025
Telemedicine (TM) offers significant potential for managing chronic conditions like heart failure (HF), where it has proven highly effective. The TeleCuore project, launched at Piacenza Hospital, evaluates the feasibility of TM in HF care, aiming to improve outcomes, enhance hospital-community collaboration, and reduce unnecessary visits (Figure 1). Launched in…
MEDICAL TREATMENT IMPLEMENTATION AT 6-MONTHS FOLLOW-UP IN HOSPITALIZED AND AMBULATORY PATIENTS WITH HF ENROLLED IN THE BRING-UP3 HF STUDY
Anno:
2025
Background: Current ESC guidelines introduced a four-pillar approach for the treatment of HFrEF. Nevertheless, there is limited data regarding implementation, up-titration and discontinuation of recommended medical treatments in clinical practice. Objectives: BRING-UP-3 Heart Failure (HF) study was designed to evaluate the Guideline recommendations implementation in HF patients enrolled by…
