OUTCOME AND MORPHO-FUNCTIONAL CHANGES ON CARDIAC MAGNETIC RESONANCE IN PATIENT WITH ACUTE MYOCARDITIS FOLLOWING MRNA COVID 19 VACCINATION
Anno:
2023
BACKGROUND: MessengerRNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccination has been associated with a higher-than-expected occurrence of acute myocarditis. Scarce information is available on mid-term prognosis and changes in cardiac function, volumes, and tissue characterization on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).  METHODS: Retrospective, multicenter study including patients with a definite diagnosis of acute myocarditis…
BEHIND MYOCARDITIS DIAGNOSIS
Anno:
2023
Background: Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of myocardium, with a wide range of clinical presentation. Myocarditis may mimic acute coronary syndrome (ACS), but it is also possible an overlap between these two different syndromes, as we considered the close relationship between wide inflammatory systemic condition and coronary atherosclerotic plaque…
PERIMYOCARDITIS AS FIRST MANIFESTATION OF DYSTHYROIDISM: AN UNUSUAL CASE
Anno:
2023
Thyroid and cardiovascular system are inextricably related and cardiovascular complications can occur in both subclinical and overt thyroid dysfunction. We report the case of a 42-year-old woman presenting with chest pain. She had a positive SARS-CoV-2 swab in June and she was hospitalised in suspicion of COVID-related pneumonia and…
Incidence and main clinical characteristics of myocarditis in Piacenza Province in the last five years
Anno:
2023
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of cardiac muscle caused by a variety of etiologies, myocardial involvement and clinical presentations ranging from chest pain to extreme conditions such as cardiogenic shock or death. The variability in presentation reflects the variability in histological disease severity, etiology, and disease stage at presentation….
CARDIOTOXICITY ASSOCIATED WITH IMMUNE CHECKPOINT INHIBITORS: A CLINICAL CASE
Anno:
2023
We reported a case of 46-year-old women without cardiovascular risk factors, with a diagnosis of relapsed metastatic melanoma undergoing treatment with immune check-point inhibitors (ICI), ipilimumab and nivolumab. A transthoracic echocardiogram was performed before starting the treatment that showing normal indices of biventricular function and a normal value of…
The role of cardiac magnetic resonance for arrhythmic risk stratification in a patient with myocarditis
Anno:
2023
Myocarditis is an inflammatory disease of cardiac muscle with a variable clinical presentation, ranging from asymptomatic cases to different degrees of left ventricular systolic dysfunction up to heart failure and dilated heart disease. Ventricular arrhythmias (VA) can occur in patients with myocarditis and implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) may be…
PREVALENCE CHARACTERISTICS AND OUTCOMES OF COVID 19 ASSOCIATED ACUTE MYOCARDITIS
Anno:
2023
BACKGROUND: Acute myocarditis (AM) is thought to be a rare cardiovascular complication of COVID-19, although minimal data are available beyond case reports. We aim to report the prevalence, baseline characteristics, in-hospital management, and outcomes for patients with COVID-19–associated AM on the basis of a retrospective cohort from 23 hospitals…
