Amiodarone plus Ranolazine for Conversion of Post-Cardiac Surgery Atrial Fibrillation: Enhanced Effectiveness in Reduced Versus Preserved Ejection Fraction Patients
(2018)Purpose: Ranolazine (RAN) added to amiodarone (AMIO) has been shown to accelerate termination of postoperative atrial fibrillation (POAF) following coronary artery bypass surgery in patients without heart failure (HF). ... -
Apolipoprotein E Polymorphism and Left Ventricular Failure in Beta-Thalassemia: A Multivariate Meta-Analysis
(2017)Apolipoprotein E (ApoE) is potentially a genetic risk factor for the development of left ventricular failure (LVF), the main cause of death in beta-thalassemia homozygotes. In the present study, we synthesize the results ... -
A critical appraisal of the pharmacological management of stable angina
(2021)The once dominant plaque-centric model of the pathophysiology and management of coronary artery disease (CAD) has long been questioned by a bulk of experimental and clinical evidence suggesting, among others, that coronary ... -
Diastolic Doppler flow and tissue Doppler velocities during, and in recovery from, low-intensity supine exercise
(2008)Recent studies have reported evidence of both a short-term and a more sustained reduction in left ventricular diastolic function after prolonged strenuous exercise. Interpretation of this data is confounded by alterations ... -
Identification of patients with embolic stroke of undetermined source and low risk of new incident atrial fibrillation: The AF-ESUS score
(2021)Background and aims: Only a minority of patients with Embolic Stroke of Undetermined Source (ESUS) receive prolonged cardiac monitoring despite current recommendations. The identification of ESUS patients who have low ... -
Intra-renal hemodynamic changes after habitual physical activity in patients with chronic kidney disease
(2016)Background: Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is considered a silent epidemic with a continuously growing prevalence around the world. Due to uremia many functional and morphological abnormalities occur in almost all systems. ... -
Lack of macroscopically evident cardiac regeneration or spontaneous functional recovery in infarcted neonatal pigs

Left ventricular hypertrophy and sudden cardiac death
(2022)Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is among the leading causes of death worldwide, and it remains a public health problem, as it involves young subjects. Current guideline-directed risk stratification for primary prevention is ... -
Parallel simulations for QUAntifying RElaxation magnetic resonance constants (SQUAREMR): An example towards accurate MOLLI T1 measurements
(2015)Background: T1 mapping is widely used today in CMR, however, it underestimates true T1 values and its measurement error is influenced by several acquisition parameters. The purpose of this study was the extraction of ... -
Pathogenesis of chronic heart failure: cardiovascular aging, risk factors, comorbidities, and disease modifiers
(2022)Chronic heart failure (HF) is rare in the young and common in the elderly in the Western world. HF in the young is usually due to specific causes, predominantly or exclusively affecting the heart (adult congenital heart ... -
Post-partum hemorrhage complicated by reverse-Takotsubo cardiogenic shock; a novel therapeutic approach
(2017)Takotsubo Cardiomyopathy (TTC) is a type of transient, yet severe left ventricular systolic dysfunction, rarely complicating extreme emotional stress (“primary” TTC) or critical medical/surgical illness (“secondary” TTC ... -

A single bout of hybrid intradialytic exercise did not affect left-ventricular function in exercise-naïve dialysis patients: a randomized, cross-over trial
(2022)Introduction: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of mortality in end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients, especially those receiving hemodialysis (HD) therapy. HD has many side effects that are related to patients’ ... -
A technique to resect the Edwards SAPIEN 3 Transcatheter Heart Valve 18 months after implantation in case of surgical aortic valve replacement
(2021)Transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) evolved to an established treatment for meanwhile moderate-risk surgical patients suffering from severe aortic stenosis. Due to its less invasiveness, avoiding the use of ...
