To investigate the long-term prognostic value of the left atrial (LA) strain
indices – peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS), peak conduit strain (PCS), and
peak atrial contractile strain (PACS) in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients
in relation to all-cause mortality. This retrospective study included ACS
patients treated with percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and examined with
echocar... hiện toàn bộ
“Vascular inflammation and cardiovascular disease: review about the role of PET imaging”
Antonio Maria Sammartino, Raffaele Falco, Andrea Drera, Francesco Dondi, Pietro Bellini, Francesco Bertagna, Enrico Vizzardi
AbstractInflammation characterizes all stages of atherothrombosis and provides a
critical pathophysiological link between plaque formation and its acute rupture,
leading to coronary occlusion and heart attack. In the last 20 years the
possibility of quantifying the degree of inflammation of atherosclerotic plaques
and, therefore, also of vascular inflammation aroused much interest.

AbstractCardiac amyloidosis (CA) may affect all cardiac structures, including
the valves. From 423 patients undergoing a diagnostic workup for CA we selected
2 samples of 20 patients with amyloid transthyretin (ATTR-) or light-chain (AL-)
CA, and age- and sex-matched controls. We chose 31 echocardiographic items
related to the mitral, aortic and tricuspid valves, giving a value of 1 to each

AbstractTo test whether quantitative flow ratio (QFR)-based trans-stent gradient
(TSG) is associated with adverse clinical events at follow-up. A post-hoc
analysis of the multi-center HAWKEYE study was performed. Vessels post-PCI were
divided into four groups (G) as follows: G1: QFR ≥ 0.90 TSG = 0 (n = 412,
54.8%); G2: QFR ≥ 0.90, TSG > 0 (n = 216, 28.7%); G3: QFR < 0.90, TSG = 0
(n = 37, 4.9%); G... hiện toàn bộ
The impact of lifestyle intervention on left atrial function in type 2 diabetes: results from the DIASTOLIC study Tập 38 Số 9 - Trang 2013-2023

AbstractAerobic exercise training and low energy diets have been shown to
improve left ventricular remodelling and diastolic function in adults with type
2 diabetes (T2D), albeit with differential effects. The impact of these
lifestyle interventions on left atrial (LA) function, however, has not
previously been reported. The DIASTOLIC study was a prospective, randomised,
open-label, blind endpoint... hiện toàn bộ
