Abstract Background Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) rapidly spread worldwide since it first emerged in December 2019, with more than 100 million cases reported to date, causing a great impact on healthcare systems. Heart failure (HF) is major health problem. It affects about 10 people Europe and the leading cause of hospitalization for patients older 65 years. During wave COVID-19 there was an important decrease HF hospitalizations. Data regarding admissions during second third waves...
Imaging for right ventricular function 289 ment (RVMI) was defined as an elevation greater than 1 mm in V1 or V4R within 12 hours of symptom onset.Results: Nine patients (11.1%) died during hospitalization and the characteristics these is listed Table .RV global longitudinal strain (RV-GLS) significantly lower eight them were presented with RVMI.Multivariate logistic regression analysis including age, sex, pro brain natriuretic peptide (pro-BNP), Thrombolysis In Myocardial Infarction (TIMI)...
Abstract Background Autograft regurgitation and the need of autograft reintervention are possible complications Ross procedure. Purpose Our Aim was to identify rates degeneration, predictive factors valvular disease in a prospective series reference cardiovascular surgery hospital. Methods Since November 1997 July 2009, total 107 patients diagnosed aortic requiring surgical treatment underwent (mean age 30 ± 11 years, 69% male, 21 <18 years). In all them, comprehensive clinical...
Abstract Background and purpose Pulmonary homograft stenosis can appear in long-term follow-up after Ross intervention. Our aim was to describe the incidence, clinical impact predictors of reintervention procedure a prospective series tertiary referral hospital 21 years followup. Methods From 1997 2009, 107 patients underwent (mean age: 30 ± 11 years; 69% men; aged <18 years). In all them, comprehensive echocardiographic evaluation performed before intervention at discharge, 6, 12...
Abstract Introduction and purpose Preliminary reports suggests that left atrial longitudinal strain (LALS) variables are a sensitive marker of acute cellular rejection (ACR) in heart transplant recipients (HTxR), discriminating between those studies without with any grade rejection. Intervendor variability is concern the widespread use this technique. Our objective was to compare LALS evaluated by two different softwares. Methods From September 2014 October 2016 we performed, 18 consecutive...
Abstract Introduction The prevalence of patent foramen ovale (PFO) in the general population is high (25%). In patients with cryptogenic stroke (CS) and PFO, determining whether it causally related to or an incidental finding a controversial issue. RoPE score was described 2013 predict likelihood that PFO. higher score, greater risk attributable causality, considering 6 as cut-off point. This scale includes clinical variables, but does not consider echocardiographic characteristics PFO were...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Objective Coronary CT angiography (CTA) remains as the technique choice to rule out coronary artery disease (CAD) in symptomatic patients with intermediate-low risk. Despite its sensitivity, numerous artifacts that reduce accuracy have been described, well factors related CAD. The presence calcium aortic arch (AoA) on chest radiography (CXR) is an accessible and highly available finding this our knowledge it not studied at...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction The monitoring the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is a common practice in patients with breast cancer undergoing chemotherapeutic treatment. Although indiscriminate follow-up not very cost-effective, we don’t have enough data to determine which would benefit from it. Purpose To analyze if any baseline function echocardiographic parameter can help identify subsequent development dysfunction secondary...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background and aims Since september 14th, 2017. Three large clinical trials demonstrated that, in selected patients, percutaneous closure patent foramen ovale (PFO) was associated with lower recurrence patients cryptogenic stroke (CS). Our aim to determine the impact these findings on routine practice a tertiary hospital. Methods Patients PFO due CS (January 2001-January 2020) were included. The characteristics analyzed...
