Fractional flow reserve in patients with reduced ejection fraction.
...Published in European heart journal
Fractional flow reserve (FFR) has never been investigated in patients with reduced ejection fraction and associated coronary artery disease (CAD). We evaluated the impact of FFR on the management strategies of these patients and related outcomes. From 2002 to 2010, all consecutive patients with left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤50% undergo...

Genetic predisposition to smoking in relation to 14 cardiovascular diseases.
Published in European heart journal
The aim of this study was to use Mendelian randomization (MR) to determine the causality of the association between smoking and 14 different cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Our primary genetic instrument comprised 361 single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) associated with smoking initiation (ever smoked regularly) at genome-wide significance. Data ...
Supracardiac atherosclerosis in embolic stroke of undetermined source: the underestimated source.
Published in European heart journal
The term 'embolic stroke of undetermined source' (ESUS) is used to describe patients with a non-lacunar ischaemic stroke without any identified embolic source from the heart or the arteries supplying the ischaemic territory, or any other apparent cause. When the ESUS concept was introduced, covert atrial fibrillation was conceived to be the main un...

Functional tricuspid regurgitation of degenerative mitral valve disease: a crucial determinant of survival.
Published in European heart journal
To assess functional tricuspid regurgitation (FTR) determinants, consequences, and independent impact on outcome in degenerative mitral regurgitation (DMR). All patients diagnosed with isolated DMR 2003-2011, with structurally normal tricuspid leaflets, prospective FTR grading and systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) estimation by Doppler echo...

Invasive left ventricle pressure-volume analysis: overview and practical clinical implications.
...Published in European heart journal
Ventricular pressure-volume (PV) analysis is the reference method for the study of cardiac mechanics. Advances in calibration algorithms and measuring techniques brought new perspectives for its application in different research and clinical settings. Simultaneous PV measurement in the heart chambers offers unique insights into mechanical cardiac e...
