Background— The diagnosis of infective endocarditis (IE) in prosthetic valves and intracardiac devices is challenging because both the modified Duke criteria (DC) echocardiography have limitations this population. added value 18 F-fluorodeoxyglucose ( F-FDG) positron emission tomography (PET)/computed (CT) F-FDG PET/CT angiography (PET/CTA) was evaluated complex scenario at a referral center with multidisciplinary IE unit. Methods Results— Ninety-two patients admitted to our hospital...
In the diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), computed tomography (CT) is an accurate, noninvasive alternative to invasive angiography (ICA). However, comparative effectiveness CT and ICA in management CAD reduce frequency major adverse cardiovascular events uncertain.We conducted a pragmatic, randomized trial comparing with as initial diagnostic imaging strategies for guiding treatment patients stable chest pain who had intermediate pretest probability were referred at one...
In patients with bicuspid valve (BAV), ascending aorta (AAo) dilatation may be caused by altered flow patterns and wall shear stress (WSS). These differences explain different aortic morphotypes. Using 4D-flow cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), we aimed to analyze in regional axial circumferential WSS maps between BAV phenotypes their correlation morphotype. One hundred one (aortic diameter ≤ 45 mm, no severe valvular disease) 20 healthy subjects were studied CMR. Peak velocity, jet...
The aim of this collaborative document is to provide an update for clinicians on best antithrombotic strategies in patients with aortic and/or peripheral arterial diseases. Antithrombotic therapy a pillar optimal medical treatment these at very high cardiovascular risk. While the number trials therapies or diseases substantially smaller than those coronary artery disease, recent evidence deserves be incorporated into clinical practice. In absence specific indications chronic oral...
Abstract Aims To study the impact of genotype on performance 2019 risk model for arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). Methods and results The cohort comprised 554 patients with a definite diagnosis ARVC no history sustained arrhythmia (VA). During median follow-up 6.0 (3.1,12.5) years, 100 (18%) experienced primary VA outcome (sustained tachycardia, appropriate implantable cardioverter defibrillator intervention, aborted sudden cardiac arrest, or death) corresponding to an...
Imaging techniques play a pivotal role in the diagnosis, follow-up, and management of aortic diseases. Multimodality imaging provides complementary essential information for this evaluation. Echocardiography, computed tomography, cardiovascular magnetic resonance, nuclear each have strengths limitations assessment aorta. This consensus document aims to review contribution, methodology, indications technique an adequate patients with thoracic The abdominal aorta will be addressed elsewhere....
Accurate risk stratification for patients with non-dilated left ventricular cardiomyopathy (NDLVC) remains challenging due to lack of dedicated clinical trials. This post-hoc analysis aims delineate the arrhythmic and assess incremental value cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in DERIVATE (CarDiac MagnEtic Resonance Primary Prevention Implantable CardioVerter DebrillAtor ThErapy) study cohort meeting NDLVC diagnostic criteria. Patients from registry were identified absence (LV)...
To determine the efficacy of losartan vs. atenolol in aortic dilation progression Marfan syndrome (MFS) patients.A phase IIIb, randomized, parallel, double-blind study was conducted 140 MFS patients, age range: 5-60 years, with maximum diameter <45 mm who received (n = 70) or 70). Doses were raised to a 1.4 mg/kg/day 100 mg/day. The primary end-point change root and ascending aorta indexed by body surface area on magnetic resonance imaging after 36 months treatment. No serious drug-related...
Background: Truncating variants in the TTN gene (TTNtv) are commonest cause of heritable dilated cardiomyopathy. This study aimed to phenotypes and outcomes TTNtv carriers. Methods: Five hundred thirty-seven individuals (61% men; 317 probands) with were recruited 14 centers (372 [69%] baseline left ventricular systolic dysfunction [LVSD]). Baseline longitudinal clinical data obtained. The primary end point was a composite malignant arrhythmia end-stage heart failure. secondary reverse...
This study sought to establish the best definition of left ventricular adverse remodeling (LVAR) predict outcomes and determine whether its assessment adds prognostic information that obtained by early cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).LVAR, usually defined as an increase in end-diastolic volume (LVEDV) is main cause heart failure after ST-segment elevated myocardial infarction; however, role LVAR predicting cardiovascular events remains controversial.Patients with infarction who received...
Abstract Aims Life expectancy in Marfan syndrome patients has improved thanks to the early detection of aortic dilation and prophylactic root surgery. Current international clinical guidelines support use diameter as a predictor complications. However, other imaging markers are needed improve risk stratification. This study aim ascertain whether proximal aorta longitudinal circumferential strain distensibility assessed by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) predict rate events syndrome. Methods...
The emergence of deep learning has considerably advanced the state-of-the-art in cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) segmentation. Many techniques have been proposed over last few years, bringing accuracy automated segmentation close to human performance. However, these models all too often trained and validated using imaging samples from single clinical centres or homogeneous protocols. This prevented development validation that are generalizable across different centres, conditions scanner...
