CONGRESS ABSTRACT

A 72-year-old woman was admitted for evaluation of hypokinetic dilated cardiomyopathy, along with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). It was incidentally discovered during pre-operative cardiology assessment for carotid endarterectomy, due to critical left internal carotid stenosis. Her history included recurrent presyncopal episodes with prodromal symptoms and absence…

Background: Heart failure (HF) represents a significant clinical and economic burden, characterized by high rates of rehospitalization and mortality. Effective management requires a structured transition from acute care to specialized longitudinal follow-up. This abstract describes the organizational model of the Heart Failure Outpatient Clinic within the Cardiology and Intensive…

Background: Heart failure (HF) is a significant global health burden, characterized by high rates of hospitalization and mortality. Recent clinical guidelines emphasize the implementation of "The Four Pillars" of Guideline-Directed Medical Therapy (GDMT) to improve clinical outcomes and quality of life. The primary objective of this study is to…

Background Heart failure (HF) is a complex chronic condition requiring effective self-care behaviours to prevent adverse outcomes.

The DIM ACC Project (“ Dim issioni Acc ompagnate”, i.e. Accompanied Discharge) was launched…

Background: Systemic congestion can be identified as a cause and result of worsening cardiovascular function.Being able to correctly identify the hemodynamic status of the patient can surely address the therapeutic process with early treatment adjustments.However,nowadays the gold standard includes invasive measurements.As an alternative,NiCas represents a valid new non-invasive technology…
