PULSE WAVE VELOCITY PROGRESSION DETERMINANTS: NO SIGNIFICANT ASSOCIATION WITH NOVEL LIPID PARAMETERS
Anno:
2025
Background and Aims: Lipid profiles, including both traditional and novel parameters, have been linked to arterial stiffness (pulse wave velocity-PWV) over time. This study aimed to evaluate the relationship between standard and emerging lipid parameters (e.g., non-HDL/HDL, LDL/HDL, total cholesterol/HDL, Log TG/HDL, and the triglyceride-glucose index [TyG]) and changes…
FOCUS ON DRIVELINE MANAGEMENT TO REDUCE INFECTION RATES IN PATIENTS WITH VENTRICULAR ASSIST DEVICES (VAD): A NARRATIVE LITERATURE REVIEW
Anno:
2025
Background/Introduction: The ventricular assist device (VAD) represents an essential therapeutic solution for patients with advanced heart failure. However, among the complications, driveline infections (DLI) are the most common and severe, with an incidence of up to 85%. The management of the driveline exit site plays a fundamental role in…
Ceramide-based risk score CERT-1 predicts adverse cardiovascular outcomes in general population
Anno:
2025
Background: We examined whether CERT1 score (a plasma ceramide-based risk score) is associated with an increased risk of overall mortality and adverse cardiovascular events in patients with and without known cardiovascular disease. Methods: For the calculation of the CERT1 score, we measured three specific plasma ceramide concentrations [Cer(d18:1/16:0), Cer(d18:1/18:0)…
PLEIOTROPIC EFFECTS OF INCLISIRAN ON ARTERIAL STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PARAMETERS
Anno:
2025
Background and objectives: Inclisiran is the latest PCSK9 inhibitor available for reducing LDL-cholesterol. Its effects on arterial structural and functional properties are not yet known. The purpose of our study is to longitudinally evaluate these properties in patients starting therapy with this new drug for dyslipidemia. Methods: Prospective longitudinal…
EFFECTIVENESS OF PERCUTANEOUS STELLATE GANGLION BLOCK IN PATIENTS WITH ARRHYTHMIC STORM: COULD THE HEART RHYTHM LEAD? DATA FROM A MULTICENTRE CASE SERIES
Anno:
2025
Introduction Percutaneous Stellate Ganglion Block (PSGB) has an increasing role in the treatment of patients with ventricular electrical storm. Multicentre observational studies have confirmed its efficacy and safety, but there is a lack of data on how heart rhythm at the time of the procedure may influence its effectiveness….
Association between SGLT2I and risk of urinary infections in elderly patients with heart failure: a retrospective study.
Anno:
2025
SGLT2i have become a cornerstone of drug therapy in heart failure. Among the potential side effects of SGLT2i, urinary tract infections (UTI) remain an open issue for their prescription, particularly in the elderly population. Aim: To determine the incidence and predictive factors of UTI in elderly heart failure patients…
EFFICACY OF PERCUTANEOUS STELLATE GANGLION BLOCK IN PATIENTS WITH ARRHYTHMIC STORM: WHICH ROLE DO ANAESTHETICS PLAY? DATA FROM A MULTICENTRE CASE STUDY
Anno:
2025
Introduction Percutaneous stellate ganglion block (PSGB) is gaining traction for the treatment of patients with electrical storm. Recent studies have confirmed its efficacy and safety, however, given the several pharmacological properties, there is a lack of evidence on how different local anaesthetics (LAs) may influence its efficacy. Materials and…
Younger patients with low blood hemoglobin levels during acute coronary syndrome have higher global mortality risk than the elderly in the long-term follow up.
Anno:
2025
Introduction: Little is known on long-term mortality influence of blood levels of hemoglobin (Hb) after acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: To assess the association between low Hb levels during hospitalization with ACS and the very long-term global mortality risk, we enrolled 571 patients admitted with ACS to 3 Italian hospitals and…
CARDIOVASCULAR STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL PARAMETERS IN IDIOPATHIC PULMONARY FIBROSIS AT DISEASE DIAGNOSIS
Anno:
2025
Introduction: the prevalence of cardiac and vascular fibrosis in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) has not been extensively evaluated. Aim: in this study, we aimed to evaluate the heart and vessels functional and structural properties in patients with IPF compared to healthy controls. An exploratory analysis regarding disease…
DREAM PATTERN IN PATIENTS WITH ACUTE MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION.Retrospective observations from the STEP IN AMI trial
Anno:
2025
Background: Sleep has been associated to cardiac events and major cardiovascular events Studies on the organization and structure of dreams before and after acute myocardial infarction are lacking. Methods: We retrospectively studied dream patterns before and after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) in the STEP-IN AMI (Short TErm Psychotherapy IN…
