Heart transplantation remains the gold standard surgical treatment for advanced heart failure. Over time, medical therapies have achieved remarkable outcomes in terms of survival and quality of life, yet their results may be insufficient, even when maximized. The limited availability of organ donors and the selective criteria for heart transplant e...

Little evidence is available on post-pulmonary embolism impairment (PPEI), a recently defined complication of pulmonary embolism (PE) encompassing dysfunctional clinical and imaging parameters. In the present study, we sought to evaluate its frequency with a focus on the main components. In this prospective registry, we included patients with a con...

Background Atrial fibrillation (AF) portends poor prognosis in patients with aortic stenosis (AS). Objectives This study aimed to study the association of AF vs. sinus rhythm (SR) with outcomes in asymptomatic severe AS during routine clinical practice. Methods We identified 909 asymptomatic patients from 3,208 consecutive patients with aortic valv...

Right ventricle (RV) dysfunction after a coronary artery bypass grafting procedure is a challenge that adversely affects RV filling pressure and contraction. This study sought to determine whether additional bypass of an RV branch would lessen RV dysfunction. Patients with severe right coronary artery (RCA) stenosis were divided into 2 groups. Grou...

Introduction: Right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction (RVsD) is a common complication of coronavirus infection 2019 disease (COVID-19). The right ventricular free wall longitudinal strain parameter (RV-FWLS) is a powerful predictor of mortality. We explored the performance of RVsD parameters for predicting 30-day mortality and the association b...

Accurate estimation of risk with both imaging and biochemical parameters in intermediate risk pulmonary embolism (PE) remains challenging. The aim of the study was to evaluate echocardiographic parameters that reflect right and left heart hemodynamic as predictors of adverse events in intermediate risk PE. This was a retrospective observational stu...

To compare two-dimensional-speckle tracking echocardiographic parameters (2D-STE) and classic echocardiographic parameters of right ventricular (RV) systolic function in patients with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (CARDS) complicated or not by acute cor pulmonale (ACP). Prospective, between March 1,...

Newer approaches in transcatheter tricuspid valve replacement (TTVR) have recently showed optimistic data of efficacy and safety in patients at high risk for surgery. However, the absence of residual regurgitation (and subsequently higher likelihood for developing afterload mismatch) with TTVR compared with transcatheter tricuspid valve interventio...

Aim: This study evaluates the risk factors associated with right ventricular (RV) dilation and dysfunction leading to pulmonary valve replacement (PVR) or adverse cardiac events in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (rToF) patients. Methods: Data from all rToF patients who underwent magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) evaluation at our hospital between Febr...

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a cardiovascular disease caused by extensive vascular remodeling in the lungs, which ultimately leads to death in consequence of right ventricle (RV) failure. While current drugs for PH therapy address the sustained vasoconstriction, no agent effectively targets vascular cell proliferation and tissue inflammation. Rho...
