Background— The safety and efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention in unprotected left main (ULM) arteries are still a matter debate. Methods Results— All consecutive patients who had sirolimus-eluting stent (Cypher, Cordis, Johnson Co) or paclitaxel-eluting (Taxus, Boston Scientific) electively implanted de novo lesions on were analyzed. Patients treated with drug-eluting (DES) compared the historical group bare metal (BMS). Eighty-five DES; 64 BMS implantation. DES lower ejection...
Elderly patients are at elevated risk of both ischemic and bleeding complications after an acute coronary syndrome display higher on-clopidogrel platelet reactivity compared with younger patients. Prasugrel 5 mg provides more predictable inhibition clopidogrel in the elderly, suggesting possibility reducing events without increasing bleeding.In a multicenter, randomized, open-label, blinded end point trial, we once-daily maintenance dose prasugrel standard 75 >74 years age undergoing...
Analysis of right ventricular (RV) regional dysfunction by cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging in arrhythmogenic RV cardiomyopathy (ARVC) may be inadequate because the complex contraction pattern RV. Aim this study was to determine use strain and dyssynchrony assessment ARVC using feature-tracking CMR analysis.Thirty-two consecutive patients with referred were included. Thirty-two idiopathic outflow tract arrhythmias 32 control subjects, matched for age sex group, included comparison...
Left bundle branch block (LBBB) is commonly associated with heart failure. We evaluated the prevalence, incidence, and impact of LBBB on long-term outcome in young patients failure affected by idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM). included 608 DCM from Heart Muscle Disease Registry Trieste this retrospective analysis. At baseline electrocardiogram (ECG), 189 (31.1%) had LBBB. The a significantly higher mortality rate than without (38.6 vs. 27.9%, P = 0.002) at univariate After multiple...
To evaluate the role of nonsustained ventricular tachycardias (NSVT) for prediction major arrhythmias (MVA) in patients with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) after optimization medical treatment.Three hundred nineteen consecutive DCM were evaluated adequate stabilization on optimal angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor (88%) and beta-blocker (82%) therapy. Frequency, length, rate NSVT at 24-hour Holter monitoring analyzed to assess their values predicting MVA (unexpected...
Background Public health emergencies such as the COVID-19 outbreak may impact on incidence rate of ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) in severely affected areas. However, this phenomenon demands attention also areas where media and patients were focused pandemic, but healthcare system was not overwhelmed by huge number patients. Methods results In observational study, we compared all consecutive STEMI admitted at University Hospital Trieste, Italy, during March April 2020 with same 2...

The appropriate timing to administer antithrombotic therapies in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) remains uncertain. This study aims evaluate the role of therapy administration at first medical contact (FMC) compared with Cathlab.
Prognostic stratification of acute myocarditis (AM) presenting with normal left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) relies mostly on late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) characterization. Left peak global longitudinal strain (LV-GLS) measured by feature tracking analysis might improve prognostication AM LVEF.Data patients undergoing cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for clinically suspected in seven European Centres (2013-2020) were retrospectively analysed. Patients confirmed CMR and LVEF ≥50%...
Dynamic left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) obstruction was thought to be a hallmark of hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy, especially in those cases with isolated asymmetric septal hypertrophy and systolic anterior motion (SAM) the mitral valve. Recently, several authors described occurrence dynamic LVOT during acute coronary insufficiency ventricles without significant myocardial hypertrophy. The gradient reported disappear following resolution ischemic syndrome. Furthermore, it...
Background Despite recent improvements in percutaneous coronary revascularization and antithrombotic therapies for the treatment of acute syndromes, outcome is still unsatisfactory high-risk patients, such as elderly patients with diabetes. The aim current study was to investigate prognostic impact diabetes on clinical among included Elderly-ACS 2 trial, a randomized, open-label, blinded endpoint carried out at 32 centers Italy. Methods Our population represented by 1443 trial. Diabetes...
