: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the most accurate, non-invasive method to support diagnosis of clinically suspected myocarditis and a risk-stratification tool in patients with cardiomyopathies. We aim assess diagnostic prognostic role CMR at myocarditis.
Background: Although ultrasound guidance for axillary vein (AV) access (USGAVA) has been described as a reliable technique cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) implantation, no data is available on the use of handheld devices (HUD) in such setting. Objective: We investigated feasibility using HUD USGAVA patients referred to our Institution CIED implantation. Methods: The procedure details 80 consecutive undergoing (Group-1) from June 2020 2021 were prospectively collected and...
The great technological advancements in the field of echocardiography have led to applications stress (SE) almost all diagnostic fields cardiology, from ischemic heart disease valvular and diastolic function. However, assessment right ventricle (RV) general, particular regard contractile reserve RV, is an area that has not been previously explored. We, therefore, propose a study investigate potential use SE for RV function adult patients.The primary aim evaluate feasibility ventricular SE....
While ultrasound assistance for accessing the axillary vein has been established as a reliable method cardiac pacemaker and cardioverter-defibrillator leads implantation, there is lack of information regarding utilization portable handheld devices within this context. We describe our experience with systematic use pocket-sized device during implantation transvenous cardiovascular implantable electronic devices.
Although ultrasound-guided axillary vein access (USGAVA) has proven to be a highly effective and safe method for cardiac electronic implantable device (CIED) lead placement, the collapsibility of (AV) during tidal breathing can narrowing or complete collapse, posing challenge successful puncture cannulation. We investigated potential Valsalva maneuver (Vm) as facilitating technique USGAVA in this context. Out 148 patients undergoing CIED implantation via USGAVA, 41 were asked perform Vm,...
Abstract Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the most accurate, non-invasive method to support diagnosis of clinically suspected myocarditis and proved risk-stratify patients with both ischemic non-ischemic cardiomyopathies. Purpose We aimed assess diagnostic prognostic role CMR at in or endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) proven myocarditis. Methods enrolled consecutive single-centre EMB-proven (defined keeping World Health Organization European Society Cardiology...
PresentationA 34-year-old man was admitted to the Emergency Department of a peripheral hospital for sudden palpitations.The admission electrocardiogram (ECG) revealed wide QRS complex tachycardia, reduced by external cardioversion.ECG in sinus rhythm showed right bundle branch block, and T-wave inversion V1-V5. Diagnostic techniques their most important findingsSubsequently, an echocardiogram markedly dilated severely ventricular (RV) systolic function, with regional wall motion...
Abstract A 72 year-old woman with Hashimoto thyroiditis in replacement therapy and no known CV risk factors was admitted to the emergency department because of worsening asthenia, nausea, vomiting fever unresponsive antibiotic therapy. Two weeks before admission, she had a syncopal episode preceded by intense chest pain for which hadn’t seek medical help. At patient unconscious hemodynamically unstable signs shock (BP 80/50 mmHg, HR 120 bpm, lactate 6.11 mmol/L). She promptly intubated...
Abstract A 53-year-old man, smoker, with diabetes mellitus, presented to the Emergency Department because of intense chest and abdominal pain, accompanied by dyspnea high fever (39.5 °C) in previous 4 days. Physical examination revealed an apical holosystolic murmur, no signs peripheral or pulmonary edema. An ECG showed sinus rhythm (90 bpm), complete right bundle branch block minimal ST elevation inferior leads. transthoracic echocardiography a mild reduction left ventricle ejection...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. BACKGROUND. Stress echocardiography (SE) is widely used for the assessment left ventricular (LV) function, diagnostic and prognostic stratification patients with coronary artery disease mitral aortic valve disease. However, right ventricle (RV) in general, particular regard to contractile reserve RV tricuspid (TV) an area that has not been previously explored adult patients. The physiology function different than LV use SE...
