The ESC Guidelines represent the views of and were produced after careful consideration scientific medical knowledge, evidence available at time their publication.The is not responsible in event any contradiction, discrepancy, and/or ambiguity between other official recommendations or guidelines issued by relevant public health authorities, particular relation to good use healthcare therapeutic strategies.Health professionals are encouraged take fully into account when exercising clinical...
Abstract Aims To describe the cardiac abnormalities in patients with COVID-19 and identify characteristics of who would benefit most from echocardiography. Methods results In a prospective international survey, we captured echocardiography findings presumed or confirmed between 3 20 April 2020. Patient characteristics, indications, findings, impact on management were recorded. Multivariable logistic regression identified predictors echocardiographic abnormalities. A total 1216 [62 (52–71)...

Definition and management of arterial hypertension in children adolescents are uncertain, due to different positions current guidelines. The European Society Cardiology task-force, constituted by Associations Councils with interest hypertension, has reviewed literature evidence, produce a Consensus Document focused on aspects the age range 6-16 years, including definition, methods measurement blood pressure, clinical evaluation, assessment hypertension-mediated target organ damage,...
Accurate echocardiographic parameters to predict maintenance of sinus rhythm in patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) are poorly defined. This study was conducted assess the myocardial properties during AF through velocity, strain rate, and compare their prognostic value maintaining lone standard transthoracic (TTE) transesophageal echocardiography (TEE).Sixty-five consecutive for < or =3 months underwent TTE, TEE, velocity rate imaging examinations before successful external cardioversion....
Background: Anabolic androgenic steroids (AAS) are sometimes used by power athletes to improve performance increasing muscle mass and strength. Recent bioptical data have shown that in under the pharmacological effects of AAS, a focal increase myocardial collagen content might occur as repair mechanism against damage. Objective: To investigate potential underlying left ventricular dysfunction after chronic misuse AAS use Doppler imaging (DMI) strain rate (SRI). Methods: Standard...
Advances in the diagnosis and management of congenital heart disease have led to a marked improvement survival adult with (ACHD) patients. However, ACHD patients are heterogeneous population, large spectrum anatomic substrates even within specific lesions. In addition, nature previous surgery other intervention is highly variable rendering each patient unique residual haemodynamic abnormalities very common. As population continues age, acquired will also require cardiac imaging assessment....
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. The pandemic of Novel Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) is challenging, given the large number hospitalized patients. Cardiovascular co-morbidities are linked to a higher mortality risk. Thus, patients with Congenital Heart (CHD) might represent high-risk population. Nevertheless, no data about them available, yet. Hence, we conducted nationwide survey assess clinical characteristics and outcomes in congenital heart disease affected by COVID-19. Methods Results. This...
<h3>Importance</h3> Understanding the long-term immune response against SARS-CoV-2 infection in children is crucial to optimize vaccination strategies. Although it known that antibodies may persist adults 12 months after infection, data are limited pediatric population. <h3>Objective</h3> To examine anti–SARS-CoV-2 spike receptor-binding domain (S-RBD) IgG kinetics infection. <h3>Design, Setting, and Participants</h3> In this single-center, prospective cohort study, patients were enrolled...
Abstract Background Despite lung ultrasound (LUS) gaining consensus for the diagnosis of pulmonary complication in paediatric acute care setting and adult cardiology, its use cardiology remains limited. Aim The aim present investigation is to provide an expert opinion on applications LUS neonates children with congenital heart disease, a special focus post-surgical period. Methods Results A complete guide identification landmarks major signs (A B lines) their characteristics provided....
Abstract Fontan-Associated Liver Disease (FALD) is a dramatically emerging problem even if not precisely defined in term of debated diagnosis and surveillance protocols. We analyze FALD prevalence, clinical impact implications European cohort patients. It’s retrospective observational multicenter study including Fontan patients operated between 1990 2022. Anatomical, clinical, surgical liver-related data were collected, defining as spectrum time-related structural–functional liver...
The authors report 1-year prospective data on eight patients with Friedreich ataxia. Idebenone did not halt the progression of At end therapy, cardiac ultrasound demonstrated significant reduction hypertrophy in six patients. Cardiac strain and rate imaging showed that is preceded by an early linear improvement function. reduced erythrocyte protoporphyrin IX levels five elevated baseline levels; however, changes consistently relate to improvement.
The prevalence of obesity is increasing among children in the developed world. association and abnormal cardiac function still debated. reported changes may reflect role comorbidities that contribute to ventricular dysfunction. Obese children, without arterial hypertension, be a unique clinical opportunity evaluate effect obesity, per se, on myocardial function, excluding influence possible comorbidities. We sought define preclinical effects cardiovascular system, healthy with excess weight...
Infective endocarditis (IE) is more and frequent in elderly persons it has been associated with various clinical, bacteriological, prognostic features. The aim of the study was to define echographic, characteristics IE a large population patients from four European centres (three French, one Italian).Three hundred fifteen consecutive definite underwent clinical evaluation, echocardiography, blood cultures, follow-up. Patients were separated into three groups: group A: 117 aged <50 years, B:...
