The European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Atlas has been compiled by the Heart Agency to document cardiovascular disease (CVD) statistics 56 ESC member countries. A major aim this 2017 data presentation compare high-income and middle-income countries identify inequalities in burden, outcomes, service provision. utilizes a variety sources, including World Health Organization, Institute for Metrics Evaluation, Bank risk factors, prevalence, mortality national economic indicators. It also...
Background: Valvular heart disease (VHD) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity has been subject to changes in management. The VHD II survey was designed by the EURObservational Research Programme European Society Cardiology analyze actual management compare practice with guidelines. Methods: Patients severe native or previous valvular intervention were enrolled prospectively across 28 countries over a 3-month period 2017. Indications for considered concordant if performed...
BACKGROUND Exercise and pharmacological stress echocardiography have emerged as convenient alternatives to myocardial scintigraphy. The objective of this study was compare in the same patients diagnostic values exercise, dobutamine, dipyridamole tests for detection ischemia. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed exercise (maximal treadmill Bruce protocol), dobutamine (up 40 micrograms/kg per minute) 0.84 mg/kg over 10 minutes) tests, random sequence on separate days, 136 consecutive patients. All...
Stress echocardiography (SE) has an established role in evidence-based guidelines, but recently its breadth and variety of applications have extended well beyond coronary artery disease (CAD). We lack a prospective research study SE applications, CAD, also considering signs addition to regional wall motion abnormalities. In prospective, multicenter, international, observational design, > 100 certified high-volume labs (initially from Italy, Brazil, Hungary, Serbia) will be networked with...
Background: Surgical aortic valve replacement (SAVR) represents a class I indication in symptomatic patients with severe stenosis (AS). However, indications for early SAVR asymptomatic AS and normal left ventricular function remain debated. Methods: The AVATAR trial (Aortic Valve Replacement Versus Conservative Treatment Asymptomatic Severe Aortic Stenosis) is an investigator-initiated international prospective randomized controlled that evaluated the safety efficacy of treatment AS,...
The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value ABCDE-SE in a prospective, large scale, multicentre, international, effectiveness study. Stress echocardiography (SE) recently upgraded ABCDE protocol: step A, regional wall motion abnormalities; B, B lines; C, left ventricular contractile reserve; D, Doppler-based coronary flow velocity reserve anterior descending artery; and E, electrocardiogram-based heart rate reserve.From July 2016 November 2020, we enrolled 3574 all-comers (age...
BackgroundHeart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is commonly associated hypertension (HTN). However, resting echocardiography (ECHO) can underestimate the severity of disease. Exercise stress (ESE) and cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPX) appeared to be useful tests in dynamic assessment HFpEF. The value combined (ESE-CPX) identification masked HFpEF still undetermined.
OBJECTIVE Dysglycemia, in this survey defined as impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) or type 2 diabetes, is common patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) and associated an unfavorable prognosis. This European investigated dysglycemia screening risk factor management of CAD relation to standards guidelines for cardiovascular subjects. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS The Society Cardiology’s Observational Research Programme (ESC EORP) Action on Secondary Primary Prevention by Intervention Reduce...
The aim of this randomized prospective study was to evaluate the quality life (QoL) using "Seattle Angina Questionnaire" (SAQ) in patients with chronic total occlusion (CTO) coronary arteries treated either percutaneous intervention (PCI) or optimal medical therapy (OMT), only OMT.The potential benefits recanalization CTO by PCI have been controversial because scarcity controlled trials.A 100 were (1:1) prospectively into OMT group (50 each group). There no baseline differences SAQ scores...
With stress echo (SE) 2020 study, a new standard of practice in imaging was developed and disseminated: the ABCDE protocol for functional testing within beyond CAD. fruit SE 2020, is seed 2030, which articulated 12 projects: 1-SE coronary artery disease (SECAD); 2-SE diastolic heart failure (SEDIA); 3-SE hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (SEHCA); 4-SE post-chest radiotherapy chemotherapy (SERA); 5-Artificial intelligence evaluation (AI-SEE); 6-Environmental echocardiography air pollution (ESTER);...
Background Functional assessment of myocardial bridging (MB) remains clinically challenging because the dynamic nature extravascular coronary compression with a certain degree intraluminal reduction. The aim our study was to assess performance and diagnostic value diastolic-fractional flow reserve (d-FFR) during dobutamine provocation versus conventional-FFR adenosine exercise-induced ischemia as reference. Methods Results This prospective includes 60 symptomatic patients (45 men, mean age...
To compare clinical efficacy and safety of stents eluting limus drugs from biodegradable polymer - Nobori, or durable Cypher.From May to August 2006, 107 patients with 142 coronary artery lesions were treated either Biolimus A9 stent (54) Cypher, Sirolimus (53) in five centres. The two groups well matched for baseline angiographic characteristics. in-stent late loss at nine months, the primary endpoint study, was 0.10+/-0.26 mm 0.13+/-0.44 Cypher arm (p=0.660) confirming hypothesis...
Insulin resistance (IR) assessed by the Homeostatic Model Assessment (HOMA) index in acute phase of myocardial infarction non-diabetic patients was recently established as an independent predictor intrahospital mortality. In this study we postulated that IR is a dynamic phenomenon associated with development and microvascular injury larger final infarct size ST-segment elevation (STEMI) treated primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI). 104 consecutive first anterior STEMI without...
While experimental data suggest that selective intracoronary hypothermia decreases infarct size, studies in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) are lacking.
Aims The aim of this study was to assess the relationship between exercise-induced changes in mitral regurgitation (MR) and echocardiographic characteristics deformation, global left ventricular (LV) function shape at rest after exercise. Methods results Forty consecutive patients with ischaemic MR due prior myocardial infarction (MI), ejection fraction <45% sinus rhythm underwent exercise-echocardiographic testing. Exercise-induced effective regurgitant orifice (ERO) were compared baseline...
Abstract Objectives: The aim of this study was to assess the pharmacokinetics and tolerability Biolimus A9 eluted from Nobori coronary stents. Background: release kinetics drugs delivered via stents have been shown play an essential role in efficacy safety drug eluting Methods: Twenty patients with artery disease were treated single 14‐mm (10 patients) or 28‐mm long stent patients). Blood samples drawn at 16 time points determine A9. At seven points, complete laboratory toxicology panels...
