Abstract Aims To evaluate the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on patient admissions to Italian cardiac care units (CCUs). Methods and Results We conducted a multicentre, observational, nationwide survey collect data for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at CCUs throughout 1 week period during outbreak, compared with equivalent in 2019. observed 48.4% reduction AMI 2019 (P < 0.001). The was significant both ST-segment elevation [STEMI; 26.5%, 95% confidence interval (CI) 21.7–32.3; P =...
Abstract Since the 2009 publication of stress echocardiography expert consensus European Association Echocardiography, and after 2016 advice American Society Echocardiography-European Cardiovascular Imaging for applications beyond coronary artery disease, new information has become available regarding echo. Until recently, assessment regional wall motion abnormality was only universally practiced step In state-of-the-art ABCDE protocol, remains main A, but at same time, perfusion using...
Background— Myocardial interstitial fibrosis is a characteristic of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). This study evaluates the collagen turnover in HCM and its impact on left ventricular (LV) diastolic function. Methods Results— Thirty-six patients 14 sex- age-matched controls were studied. Collagen was assessed as follows. By radioimmunoassay, byproduct III synthesis (PIIINP) 3 peptides resulting from I (PICP PINP) degradation (ICTP) measured. ELISA, matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs)...
Stress echocardiography (SE) has an established role in evidence-based guidelines, but recently its breadth and variety of applications have extended well beyond coronary artery disease (CAD). We lack a prospective research study SE applications, CAD, also considering signs addition to regional wall motion abnormalities. In prospective, multicenter, international, observational design, > 100 certified high-volume labs (initially from Italy, Brazil, Hungary, Serbia) will be networked with...
The aim of this study was to assess the prognostic value ABCDE-SE in a prospective, large scale, multicentre, international, effectiveness study. Stress echocardiography (SE) recently upgraded ABCDE protocol: step A, regional wall motion abnormalities; B, B lines; C, left ventricular contractile reserve; D, Doppler-based coronary flow velocity reserve anterior descending artery; and E, electrocardiogram-based heart rate reserve.From July 2016 November 2020, we enrolled 3574 all-comers (age...
Functional testing with stress echocardiography is based on the detection of regional wall motion abnormality two-dimensional and embedded in clinical guidelines. Yet, it under-uses unique versatility technique, ideally suited to describe different functional abnormalities underlying same response during stress. Five parameters converge conceptually methodologically state-of-the-art ABCDE protocol, assessing multiple vulnerabilities ischemic patient. The five steps protocol are (1) step A:...
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) is a heterogeneous entity including patients different phenotypes of near normal, and supernormal left ventricular (LV) function. To assess the value resting LV elastance (also known as force) transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to identify HFpEF phenotypes. In prospective, observational, multicenter study, 2380 were recruited from July 2016 May 2024. Systolic blood pressure (SBP) was measured. We assessed end-diastolic volume (EDV),...
Background: Ultrasound lung comets (ULCs) are an echographic sign of extravascular water, that originate from water-thickened interlobular septa.
Objectives To describe the clinical characteristics and in‐hospital outcomes of older adults with tako‐tsubo cardiomyopathy ( TTC ). Design Partially retrospective, partially prospective observational study. Setting Eleven Italian referral cardiac centers included in Tako‐tsubo Network. Participants One hundred ninety consecutive individuals (92.1% female, mean age 66) were divided into three groups according to (<65, n = 78; 65–74, 61; ≥75, 51). Measurements Clinical findings evaluated...
With stress echo (SE) 2020 study, a new standard of practice in imaging was developed and disseminated: the ABCDE protocol for functional testing within beyond CAD. fruit SE 2020, is seed 2030, which articulated 12 projects: 1-SE coronary artery disease (SECAD); 2-SE diastolic heart failure (SEDIA); 3-SE hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (SEHCA); 4-SE post-chest radiotherapy chemotherapy (SERA); 5-Artificial intelligence evaluation (AI-SEE); 6-Environmental echocardiography air pollution (ESTER);...
The aim of this study was to assess the echocardiographic distribution regional wall motion abnormalities (RWMA) in patients with tako-tsubo cardiomyopathy (TTC) compared anterior ST-elevation myocardial infarction (ant-STEMI). Thirty-seven TTC and 37 ant-STEMI underwent standard examination at time hospital admission. RWMA involvement left ventricular territories supplied by each coronary artery according American Society Echocardiography classification were reported. showed a lower...
Background . A maximal negative stress echo identifies a low-risk subset for coronary events. However, the potentially prognostically relevant information on cardiovascular hemodynamics heart-failure-related events is unsettled. Aim of this study was to assess prognostic value stress-induced variation in patients with echocardiography. Methods We enrolled 891 (593 males mean age<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
Background: Lung ultrasound detects pulmonary congestion as B-lines at rest, and more frequently, during exercise stress echocardiography (ESE). Methods: We performed ESE plus lung (4-site simplified scan) in 4392 subjects referred for semi-supine bike 24 certified centers 9 countries. B-line score ranged from 0 (normal) to 40 (severely abnormal). Five different populations were evaluated: control (n=103); chronic coronary syndromes (n=3701); heart failure with reduced ejection fraction...
Resting coronary flow velocity (CFV) in the mid-distal left anterior descending artery can be easily assessed with transthoracic echocardiography. In this observational study, authors sought to assess relationship between resting CFV, CFV reserve (CFVR), and outcome patients chronic syndromes.
