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…
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…
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…
