The measurement of aortic dimensions and their evolution are key in the management patients with diseases. Manual assessment, current guideline-recommended method clinical standard, is subjective, poorly reproducible, time-consuming, limiting capacity to track growth everyday practice. Aortic geometry mapping (AGM) via image registration serial computed tomography angiograms outperforms manual providing accurate reproducible 3D maps diameter rate. This observational study aimed evaluate...
To identify entry tear variables that are related to adverse clinical events by using CT angiography (CTA) performed during the subacute phase of aortic dissection.In this prospective study conducted from January 2000 December 2013, participants with an dissection a patent false lumen and no comorbidities underwent CTA phase. Participants were followed up for survival analysis assess time event (AAE). The maximum diameter (MAD), proximal distal areas difference between these areas, partial...
Diagnosis of prosthetic valve endocarditis (PVE) by positron emission computed tomography angiography (PET/CTA) is based on visual and quantitative morpho-metabolic features. However, the fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG) uptake pattern can be sometimes visually unclear susceptible to subjectivity. This study aimed validate a new parameter, index [VUI, maximum standardized value (SUVmax)-mean (SUVmean)/SUVmax], designed provide more objective indication distribution metabolic activity. Secondly,...
We present a case of acute myocarditis with left ventricular dysfunction and intracavitary thrombosis in 55-year-old man severe respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 infection (coronavirus disease 2019) who was admitted bilateral atypical pneumonia. The patient treated anticoagulation optimal heart failure therapy had an improvement function thrombus resolution. (Level Difficulty: Intermediate.)
Background: Antisynthetase syndrome (ASS) is characterized by inflammatory myopathy, interstitial lung disease, arthritis, mechanical hands and Raynaud phenomenon, among other features. Recent studies have shown that idiopathic myopathies (IIM) may develop cardiac involvement, either ischemic (coronary artery disease) or (myocarditis). We wonder if characteristic involvement (interstitial appears in patients with the ASS also affect myocardial tissue. New magnetic resonance mapping...
Aorto Esophageal Fistula (AEF) is a rare but catastrophic complication in thoracic aortic aneurysms with no consensus about the best treatment option. We present case of AEF as late TEVAR implantation Stanford type-B chronic dissection treated hybrid surgical approach and percutaneous esophageal stent.
Abstract Background Diagnosis of PVE by PET/CTA is based on visual and quantitative evaluation morpho-metabolic features. The FDG uptake pattern a main diagnostic criterion, but can be visually unclear susceptible to subjectivity. valve index (VUI) new measure designed provide more objective indication the distribution metabolic activity. Purpose To validate accuracy (SUVmax-SUVmean)/SUVmax, in patients with suspicion prosthetic endocarditis (PVE). establish cut-off value that allows...
Abstract Background Acute infarct size is a predictor of clinical outcomes in acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients, although its prognostic value has differed between studies. In STEMI, often overestimated due to the presence extensive oedema, confounder that no longer present at 6-month follow-up study. It was our purpose assess whether phase or 6-months provided superior information STEMI patients. Methods patients who underwent successful primary percutaneous...
Abstract Background Cardiac affectation in amyloidosis is presented among 50% patients what implies worse prognostic. Early diagnosis and prognostic stratification mandatory after the appearance of new therapies that could modify course disease. Purpose The aim our study was to assess value cardiac magnetic resonance parameters, including Tissue deformation, patients. Methods We recruited (p) prospectively followed cardiomyopathy unit, for a mean period 10 years (from 2010 2020) who were...
Abstract Background Cardiac affectation in amyloidosis is presented among 50% patients what implies worse prognostic. Early diagnosis and prognostic stratification mandatory after the appearance of new therapies that could modify course disease. Purpose The aim present study was to evaluate main outcome predictors with multiparametric approach including clinical, laboratory, electrocardiographic imaging parameters cardiac (CA). Methods We recruited (p) prospectively followed our...
