Coronary artery fistulas (CAFs) are rare congenital anomalies, presenting in 0.05–0.9% of cases, characterized by an aberrant connection between a coronary and cardiac chamber or great vessel. Clinical manifestations can include heart failure, myocardial ischemia due to steal, arrhythmias, infective endocarditis. We report case 39-year-old man initially evaluated 2016 for peripheral edema suspected right ventricular (RV) abnormality. Earlier assessments indicated left anterior descending...
Background and Objectives: Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) causes geometric changes, including reduced systolic function a more spherical shape, which is quantified by the sphericity index (SI), ratio of short to long axis in apical four-chamber view. This study aimed assess SI’s value A-LVA B-LVA, identify influencing factors, evaluate its clinical relevance. Materials Methods: included 54 patients with post-infarction LVA used echocardiography determine locations (A-LVA near apex B-LVA...
Abstract Introduction Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) correlates with changes in geometry related to the size and shape of left ventricle (LV). On echocardiography it presents as global reduced systolic function (ejection fraction - EF). Abnormal remodeling leads a more spherical manifestation spherity index (SI) parameter abnormal geometric change (SI is ratio short (S) long (L) axis heart measured from apical four-chamber view). In healthy individuals ischemic dilated cardiomyopathy SI...
Background/Objectives: Congenital heart disease (CHD), affecting approximately 1% of live births, has transitioned to a chronic condition due advances in diagnostics and surgery, resulting an increasing adult congenital (ACHD) population. This study characterizes the clinical demographic profiles ACHD patients Serbia, focusing on anomalies, mortality rates, key factors identify opportunities for improving care outcomes. Methods: observational single-center was conducted at Cardiovascular...
Background and Objectives. Distinct pressure curve differences exist between akinetic (A-LVA) dyskinetic (D-LVA) aneurysms. In D-LVA, left ventricular (LV) ejection decreases relative to the aneurysm size, whereas A-LVA does not impact curves, indicating that decrease in stroke volume (SV) cardiac output is proportional size of dyskinesia. This study aimed assess frequency determine parameters (volume surface area), evaluate predictive using echocardiography D-LVA. Furthermore, it compare...
Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) is one of the most effective treatments for severe stenosis (AVS). Different genres and generations transcatheter heart valves (THVs) are accessible, offering operators an opportunity to choose a patient-tailored device. In this single-center study, we present outcomes Serbian patients treated with next-generation Myval THV symptomatic AVS. was implanted in all consecutive who underwent TAVI at Dedinje Cardiovascular Institute Belgrade, Serbia...
The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) is a first-line diagnostic tool for patients with cardiac symptoms. As observed during the COVID-19 pandemic, ECG essential to initial patient evaluation. novel KardioPal three-lead-based reconstructive technology provides potential alternative standard ECG, reducing response time and cost of treatment improving comfort. Our study aimed evaluate accuracy reconstructed obtained by technology, comparing it assess feasibility required obtain in real-life...
Chest pain represents a prevalent complaint in emergency departments (EDs), where the precise differentiation between acute coronary syndrome and alternative conditions assumes paramount significance. This pilot study aimed to assess HEART score's implementation West Balkan EDs. A retrospective analysis was performed on prospective cohort comprising patients presenting with chest admitted EDs Sarajevo, Zenica, Belgrade July December 2022. total of 303 were included, 128 classified as...
Background and Objectives: Left ventricular aneurysm (LVA) is associated with a decline in cardiac function, evidenced by lower ejection fraction (EF), due to the reduction proportion of functional myocardium. The left end-diastolic volume (LVEDV), (LVAV), LVAV/LVEDV ratio show strong correlation EF. aim this study was determine LVA characteristics post-myocardial infarction (basal vs. apical) evaluate impact diastole (LVAVd), area (LVAAd), their respective ratios LVEDV (LVEDA) on EF, order...
Introduction Severe aortic stenosis, a highly-common valve disease in the elderly, has poor prognosis if left untreated. To address concern of effective procedures for severe systematic TAVI program was established at Dedinje Cardiovascular Institute (Belgrade, Serbia). Methods Our cohort composed 56 patients (74±15 years old). The mean logistic EuroScore 10.17%; Society Thoracic Surgeons score 3.22%. One third were categorized as class III or IV New York Heart Association (NYHA). valves...
Background: Tetralogy of Fallot (TOF) is the most common cyanotic Congenital Heart Disease (CHD). As therapy becomes increasingly effective, number adults with CHD growing. There are many surgical options to resolve pulmonary stenosis as a part TOF, and Pulmonary Valve (PV) replacement biological prosthesis one solutions. We reported case prosthetic valve endocarditis in patient TOF.
Background/Aim. Decision-making by the Heart Team is an established way of making appropriate decisions regarding management patients with coronary artery dis-ease. In clinical practice, it not infrequent to see changes in made different Teams. However, implications are clear. The aim this study was determine change decision whom surgical myocardial revascularization advised first but consequently changed percutaneous intervention (PCI). Methods. We retrospectively analyzed data for 1,501...
Introduction. Even though lipomas are the most common benign tumors, they rarely found in pericardial cavity. Although histopathologically benign, can cause life-threatening complications by rapid growth and may there-fore be clinically considered malignant. Case report. We present an 80-year-old female who was injured during a syncopal episode when falling from standing height suffered bodily injuries for which she hospitalized. In further course of her short-term hospital treatment, death...
Introduction: Landmark ISCHEMIA (ISCH) trial provided unique information, but the generalizability of its results into myocardial revascularization guidelines and practice has been met by unprecedented debate. Hypothesis: We aimed to compare 5 year all-cause mortality (5y Mt) in our ISCH like patients (pts) with ISCH. Methods: After applying study inclusion/exclusion criteria we identified 854 pts from prospective database 2455 consecutive who had first isolated CABG 2012-2015 complex CAD...
