Chronic coronary syndromes (CCS) are the most common clinical manifestation of atherosclerosis. Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is a recent innovation in non-invasive cardiac imaging. It only anatomical imaging method that allows direct visualization lumen, vessel walls, and atherosclerotic plaques, offering high sensitivity strong negative predictive value. CCTA particularly useful identifying or ruling out atherosclerosis context CCS serves as an excellent filter for...
Introduction. Left ventricular (LV) remodelling after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is explained only in part by the infarct size, and inter-patient variability may be ascribed to different inflammatory response injury. Epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) a source of mediators which directly modulates myocardium. EAT increase associated several cardiovascular diseases, however its injury currently unknown. Among mediators, IL-13 seems play protective role LV regeneration,...
The constraints in the management of patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) during COVID-19 pandemic have been suggested to severely impacted mortality levels. aim current analysis is evaluate age-related effects on mechanical reperfusion and 30-day for STEMI within registry ISACS-STEMI COVID-19.This retrospective multicenter was performed high-volume PPCI centers four continents included undergoing March-June 2019 2020. Patients were divided according age (< or ≥75...
The so-called “smoking paradox”, conditioning lower mortality in smokers among STEMI patients, has seldom been addressed the settings of modern primary PCI protocols. ISACS−STEMI COVID-19 is a large-scale retrospective multicenter registry addressing in-hospital mortality, reperfusion, and 30-day patients era pandemic. Among 16,083 6819 (42.3%) were active smokers, 2099 (13.1%) previous 7165 (44.6%) non-smokers. Despite impaired preprocedural recanalization (p < 0.001), had significantly...
A greater number of patients with bicuspid aortic valves (BAV) may be identified and treated as indications for transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI) are expected to expand younger patients. We evaluated the contemporary frequency management symptomatic stenotic BAV in a multicenter European registry.Between November 2017 February 2018, all consecutive admitted stenosis across six high-volume hospitals were prospectively enrolled BiTri registry.Of 832 patients, 17% (n = 138) had BAV. The...
Abstract Background Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is projected to become the third cause of mortality worldwide. COPD shares several pathophysiological mechanisms with cardiovascular disease, especially atherosclerosis. However, no definite answers are available on prognostic role in setting ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), during COVID-19 pandemic, among patients undergoing primary angioplasty, that therefore aim current study. Methods In ISACS-STEMI registry we...
Abstract Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) is a rare but insidious cause of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death especially in those who lacks traditional cardiovascular risk factors. Although the most appropriate management patients with SCAD not clearly defined, it‘s essential to make an early diagnosis order follow conservative approach. Nowadays, role Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA) consolidated study atherosclerotic coronary pathology its contribution...
Abstract Over the last years awareness of gender differences in cardiovascular disease has gradually increased. Gender can be highlighted spectrum clinical manifestations ischemic women and higher incidence female sex specific pathologies such as Takotsubo Syndrome (TTS), myocardial infarction without significant coronary obstruction (MINOCA) Spontaneous artery dissection (SCAD). Advanced cardiac imaging is gaining a relevant role also acute patient scenario it allows identification that...
Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD) is an X-linked lysosomal storage disorder caused by a deficiency of the enzyme, agalactosidase A. The inadequate enzymatic activity leads to systemic glycosphingolipids, mostly globotriaosylceramide, in lysosomes. As now, enzyme replacement therapy only approved treatment for AFD. However, it does not induce complete and lasting response several clinical contexts. Genemediated emerging approach that could overcome these limits. single gene nature AFD enhances...
During the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, concerns have been arisen on use of renin-angiotensin system inhibitors (RASI) due to potentially increased expression Angiotensin-converting-enzyme (ACE)2 and patient's susceptibility SARS-CoV2 infection. Diabetes mellitus recognized favoring infection with consequent increase mortality in COVID-19. No data so far reported diabetic patients suffering from ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), a very high-risk population...
A young patient affected by a lung neoplasm, presented at emergency department with cardiac tamponade, underwent pericardiocentesis prompt restoration of hemodynamic stability. An hour later, the again signs without evidence fluids in drainage that was left pericardial space. The echocardiography revealed an intrapericardial thrombus compressing right chambers. pericardiotomy performed and large removed from space; walls were intact. Echocardiography played pivotal role for identification as...
Several reports have demonstrated the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on management and outcome patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). The aim current analysis is to investigate potential gender difference in effects mechanical reperfusion 30-day mortality for STEMI within ISACS-STEMI Registry. This retrospective multicenter registry was performed high-volume primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) centers four continents included undergoing PPCIs March-June...
Background. Since the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) published guidelines to stratify risk pulmonary embolism (PE), main goal several physicians has been find a biomarker able identify patients with venous thromboembolism at high die. Increased levels pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were suggested as useful biomarkers in ESC (i.e., 2014) PE death, but its role was not confirmed other guidelines. Lung Ultrasound Scan (LUS) diagnostic and prognostic test mortality for lung failure....
