“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 arous......  hiện toàn bộ

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: Q......  hiện toàn bộ

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, 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
Aseel Alfuhied, Gaurav S Gulsin, Lavanya Athithan, Emer M Brady, Kelly Parke, Joseph Henson, Emma Redman, Anna-Marie Marsh, Thomas Yates, Melanie J. Davies, Gerry P McCann, Anvesha Singh
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, rando......  hiện toàn bộ
 Extended reality for procedural planning and guidance in structural heart disease – a review of the state-of-the-art Tập 39 Số 7  - Trang 1405-1419
Natasha Stephenson, Kuberan Pushparajah, Gavin Wheeler, Shujie Deng, Julia A. Schnabel, John Simpson
AbstractExtended reality (XR), which encompasses virtual, augmented and mixed reality, is an emerging medical imaging display platform which enables intuitive and immersive interaction in a three-dimensional space. This technology holds the potential to enhance understanding of complex spatial relationships when planning and guiding cardiac procedures in congenital......  hiện toàn bộ
