Echocardiography is one of the most powerful diagnostic and monitoring tools available to modern emergency/ critical care practitioner. Currently, there a lack specific European Association Cardiovascular Imaging/Acute Care recommendations for use echocardiography in acute cardiovascular care. In this document, we describe practical applications patients with cardiac conditions, particular chest pain, heart failure, suspected tamponade, complications myocardial infarction, valvular disease...

Ventilator-associated pneumonia diagnosis remains a debatable topic. New definitions of ventilator-associated conditions involving worsening oxygenation have been recently proposed to make surveillance events possibly linked as objective possible. The the study was confirm effect subglottic secretion suctioning on prevalence and assess its concomitant impact antibiotic use.Randomized controlled clinical trial conducted in five ICUs same hospital.Three hundred fifty-two adult patients...
The present study sought to evaluate the correlation between indices of non-invasive myocardial work (MW) and left ventricle (LV) size, traditional advanced parameters LV systolic diastolic function by 2D echocardiography (2DE).A total 226 (85 men, mean age: 45 ± 13 years) healthy subjects were enrolled at 22 collaborating institutions Normal Reference Ranges for Echocardiography (NORRE) study. Global index (GWI), global constructive (GCW), waste (GWW), efficiency (GWE) estimated from...
Abstract Aims Hypoalbuminemia is common in heart failure (HF), especially elderly patients. It associated with an increased risk of death. The present study sought to examine the prognostic significance serum albumin level prediction hospital mortality patients admitted for acute non‐ischemic HF. Methods and results We examined association between a cohort 546 None had infectious disease, severe arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, fibrillation), required invasive...
B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) is often used as a complementary finding in the diagnostic work-up of patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Whether soluble ST2, new biomarker cardiac stretch, associated symptomatic status and outcome asymptomatic AS unknown. sST2 BNP levels were measured 86 (74±13 years; 59 asymptomatic, 69%) (<1.5 cm2) preserved left ventricular ejection fraction who followed-up for 26±16 months. Both NYHA class but (>23 ng/mL, AUC = 0.68, p<0.01) was more accurate to...
Objective: Hypoalbuminemia is common in heart failure (HF), especially elderly patients. It associated with an increased risk of death. The present study sought to examine the prognostic significance serum albumin level prediction long-term mortality patients admitted for acute HF.Methods and results: We examined association between hospital a cohort 509 HF. None had infectious disease, severe arrhythmias (atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, fibrillation), required invasive...
The present study sought to assess the impact of aortic stenosis (AS) on myocardial function as assessed by layer-specific longitudinal strain (LS) and its relationship with symptoms outcome.We compared 211 patients (56% males, mean age 73 ± 12 years) severe AS left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≥50% (114 symptomatic, 97 asymptomatic) 50 controls matched for sex. LS was from endocardium, mid-myocardium, epicardium 2D speckle-tracking echocardiography. Despite similar LVEF, multilayer...

Abstract Background Previous studies have suggested that exercising may induce cardiac damage. Galectin-3 (Gal-3) and soluble suppression of tumorigenicity 2 (ST2) are very interesting biomarkers for heart failure myocardial fibrosis. We aimed to compare the kinetics emerging fibrosis as Gal-3 ST-2 in endurance runners, recreational runners before after a running event represented by marathon an ultratrail event. Methods Blood samples were taken from 19 healthy non-elite (42 km), 27...
Abstract Heart donation after circulatory death (DCD) can significantly expand the heart donor pool, helping to overcome problem of organ shortage and increase in waiting list mortality morbidity. To improve outcome DCD transplantation, thoraco‐abdominal normothermic regional perfusion (TA‐NRP) be performed by selectively restoring circulation followed vivo functional assessment. Here, we report on use periprocedural transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) as a minimally invasive cardiac...
Abstract Background There are limited data on Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in solid organ transplant patients, especially heart recipients, with only a few case reports and series described so far. Heart recipients may be at particular high risk due to their comorbidities immunosuppressed state. Case presentation This report describes the clinical course challenging management of early COVID-19 infection two who tested positive for SARS-CoV-2 virus perioperative period procedure. The...
