Abstract Aims Valvular heart disease (VHD) is the third leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity, with its incidence and public health impact projected to increase significantly. This study adopts a novel perspective, focusing on elderly individuals residing in rural areas, highlighting unique dynamics small-town settings. Methods multicenter, observational was conducted from May 2022 September 2023, under coordination AOU Careggi Echo Core-Lab, which managed entire screening program. In 10...
Obesity is a metabolic condition, related to abnormalities of the glyco-insulinaemic metabolism, and plays substantial role in development cardiovascular disease. The aim this study was establish correlation among left ventricular mass, evaluated echocardiographically according Penn Convention criteria, blood pressure, by ambulatory pressure monitoring, anthropometric indices for evaluation body mass index waist hip ratio circumference, regional adipose tissue distribution, ultrasound...
Over the last two decades, we have witnessed major epidemics of severe acute respiratory infections that pose a serious threat to global health, with high morbidity and mortality rates. The more widespread faster human mobility by modern transports, allowing quick international connections, has contributed fast spread epidemics, leading, as in case Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19), pandemic state short time. first literature data show COVID-19 infectivity, marked tropism, rate ranging...
Over the past few decades, progressive aging of population combined with resulting increase in cardiovascular disease and marked improvement technologies applied to surgery justify elderly patients requiring surgery. This claims a highly skilled perioperative management, which should be aimed at treating cardiac without increasing risk hospitalization-related harmful events. Current preoperative assessment for surgery, such as European System Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II (EUROSCORE...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is the most common cardiac sustained arrhythmia, whose incidence and prevalence increase with age, representing a significant burden for health services in western countries. Older people contribute to patients affected from AF. Although oral anticoagulant therapy represents cornerstone prevention of ischemic stroke its disabling consequences, several other interventions - including left atrial appendage occlusion (LAAO), catheter ablation (CA) AF, rhythm control...
Principles and processes of comprehensive geriatric assessment (CGA) are increasingly being applied to subspecialties subspecialty conditions, including cardiovascular patients (i.e., infective endocarditis; considerations surgery or transcatheter aortic valve replacement, TAVR, for with stenosis; vascular surgery) postoperative mortality risk. In field CGA has mainly the aim define ideal management according different typology older adult (e.g., robust versus intermediate physical...
Heart failure is a widespread disease in the western world whose incidence and prevalence are constantly increasing, mainly involving more advanced age groups. Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) has been shown able to reduce sudden cardiac death all-cause mortality patients with heart reduced ejection fraction. Elderly generally under-represented clinical trials aimed evaluate efficacy of CRT and, chiefly, implantable defibrillator (ICD). The simultaneous presence confounding factors...
Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a widely used drug to treat patients with coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19). Although evidence of its efficacy and safety remains limited controversial, both cardiac non-cardiac adverse events are known be associated use. To our knowledge, electrical storm in COVID-19, or any case treated HCQ, has not been reported. We report the 78-year-old male an implantable resynchronization defibrillator (CRT-D) non-severe form COVID-19. After few days home therapy was...
Recently, transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) has emerged as established standard treatment for symptomatic severe stenosis, providing an effective, less-invasive alternative to open cardiac surgery inoperable or high-risk older patients. In order assess the anticipated benefit of replacement, considerable interest now lies in better identifying factors likely predict outcome. elderly population frailty and medical comorbidities have been shown significantly mortality, functional...
