Endurance sports practice has significantly increased over the last decades, with a growing proportion of master athletes. However, concerns exist regarding potential proarrhythmic effects induced by ultra-endurance sports. This study aimed to analyse acute an ultramarathon race on atrial remodelling and supraventricular arrhythmias in population athletes.Master athletes participating (50 km, 600 m elevation gain) no history heart disease were recruited. A single-lead ECG was recorded...
Right heart failure (RHF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant is burdened by high morbidity and mortality rates should be prevented appropriate patient selection. Adequate right function of paramount importance but its assessment complex cannot disregard afterload. Myocardial work (MW) a non-invasive Speckle Tracking Echocardiography-derived method to estimate pressure-volume loops. The aim this study was evaluate the performance myocardial predict RHF long-term LVAD...
Myocardial work (MW) is a relatively novel non-invasive echocardiographic method with increasing fields of application. Normal reference ranges MW indices in patients who have undergone heart transplant (HTx) not been determined yet. The aim this study was to obtain the for 2D adult HTx and compare them results European Association Cardiovascular Imaging (EACVI) Reference Ranges Echocardiography (NORRE) study.
Anterior T-wave inversion (aTWI) can be a common electrical sign in cardiomyopathies but also benign feature regressing with age healthy children. Unfortunately, little is known about the of positivization aTWI and its determinants children longitudinal data are not available. The aim this study was to identify children.ATWI observed 331 They were evaluated yearly until for maximum period 4 years. Positivization 312 (94%). weight, height/length their respective percentiles at birth time...
Abstract Background Extra–Circulatory Life Support (ECLS) is a vital therapeutic option in patients (pts) with refractory cardiogenic shock (CS). Few centers can assure optimal assistance to these delicate pts and early centralization the context of regional networks essential. Methods We enrolled all consecutive ECLS for CS admitted our Intensive Cardiac Care Unit (ICCU) from January 2021 November 2023. The primary endpoints evaluated were weaning in–hospital mortality. secondary included...
Prolongation of the PR interval is common among competitive athletes. However, further investigations should be performed when markedly prolonged. We report case a young male athlete with an autoimmune-mediated atrioventricular block due to circulating anti-Ro/SSA-antibodies in mother (late progressive congenital form). (Level Difficulty: Advanced.).
e23191 Background: Psychological distresses, emotional troubles, social difficulties as well both physical and practical issues are all among oppressive problems that oncological patients have to face almost every day. On one hand, these seem a strong impact on quality of life; the other be related specific cancer-related variables ( e.g.: type localization tumor). Thus, aim study was use Latent Class Analysis (LCA) approach profile latent structure accounting for covariance between...
Abstract Background Non-invasive myocardial work (MW) is a relatively novel echocardiographic method with increasing fields of application. Normal reference ranges MW indices in healthy population have already been determined but these may differ patients who undergone heart transplant (HTX). Purpose To obtain the for 2D HTX and to compare them results EACVI NORRE study regarding volunteers. Methods All consecutive admitted at our Institution under Day Hospital regimen from September 2019...
Abstract Background Prolongation of the PR interval is a common finding among competitive athletes. However, further investigations should be performed when markedly prolonged. We report case young male athlete with late progressive congenital form autoimmune-mediated atrioventricular block. Case presentation A 26-year-old was referred to our center because significant prolongation (PR=400 ms), firstly found at age 7 years in preparticipation screening and then confirmed he 10 old. He has...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background. Premature ventricular beats (PVBs) are not an unusual finding and their interpretation is sometimes challenging. Unfortunately, few data on the characteristics PVBs that correlate with risk underlying heart disease available in athletes. Objectives. The aim this prospective study was to investigate diagnostic prognostic value competitive Methods. From a cohort 1,751 athletes evaluated at our sports cardiology...
