Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) is an established tool for risk stratification in several cardiomyopathies, and its role muscular dystrophies (MuD) looks promising. We sought to assess how CMR performs predicting cardiac events a real cohort of MuD patients. A prospective single-center study with the enrollment consecutive adult patients referred screening from 2012 2018 collection clinical data. During follow-up (FUP), major adverse were considered composite device implantation,...
Percutaneous closure of the patent foramen ovale (PFO) is increasingly performed in specific patients with cryptogenic stroke or clinical evidence a paradoxical embolism. This study was to determine safety same-day discharge (SDD) following such procedures. prospective, observational undergoing elective percutaneous PFO single tertiary center Portugal between January 2020 and July 2023. AmplatzerTM devices (St. Jude Medical, St. Paul, MN, USA) NobblestichTM EL (HeartStitch, Inc., Fountain...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiac disease. Recently, a connection has been observed between presence of first-degree atrioventricular block (FDAVB) and cardiovascular outcomes, although pathophysiology this association remains poorly understood. Considering period 2000-2023, we retrospectively included HCM patients at sinus rhythm first appointment sought possible interactions FDAVB (defined as PR interval >200 ms) with different clinical imaging...
Percutaneous mitral valve commissurotomy (PMC) is a viable alternative to (MV) surgery in the treatment of patients with rheumatic stenosis (RMS). In this single-center retrospective study consecutive RMS submitted PMC from 1991 2008, we analyzed clinical, echocardiographic, and hemodynamic data events during follow-up (FUP) until December 2021. Major adverse cardiovascular (MACE) were combined endpoint all-cause death, hospitalization, MV re-intervention. A total 124 enrolled: 108 (87.1%)...
Abstract Background and Aim: Pulmonary regurgitation is the most common complication in repaired tetralogy of Fallot patients. Severe chronic pulmonary can be tolerated for decades, but if not treated, it progress to symptomatic, irreversible right ventricular dilatation dysfunction. We investigated clinical associations with valve replacement among patients significative how interventional developments change their management. Methods: All adult who were followed at an CHD Clinic a single...
