In the published article Table 1, the last line/row (Total), there was an overlap of text detail between column heads "Median FU (months)" and "Syncope type," which has been rectified. 1 Table Selected studies evaluating patients with syncope in Brugada syndrome (Table presented.) Abbreviations: EPS, electrophysiology study; ESC, European...

During ageing, the prevalence of Alzheimer's disease (AD) and of cardiovascular disease CVD) increases. Our aim is to investigate the relationship between AD and CVD and its risk factors, with a view to explaining the underlying mechanisms of this association. This review is based on the material obtained via MEDLINE (PubMed), Embase and...

During the last decades, the practice of sport and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) were considered as incompatible, since evidence was not sufficient to gauge the risk associated to repeat and/or vigorous exercise across the spectrum of HCM. Additionally, it was acknowledged thatrisk stratification tools developed for HCM were not derived...

Objectives: To clarify the meaning of elevated cardiac troponin in elite soccer athletes previously infected with severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and screened for cardiovascular involvement in the wake of competitive sport resumption. Methods: We designed a retrospective cohort study with the collaboration of two...

Peri-procedural myocardial injury (PPMI) is a common complication after transcatheter valve replacement (TAVR), often remaining clinically silent. The role of valve type on PPMI and the association between PPMI and mortality are still unclear. We sought to evaluate predictors and outcome of PPMI after TAVR, and the impact of self-expandable...

Refractory cardiogenic shock (RCS) or refractory cardiac arrest (RCA) complicating acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is associated with extremely high mortality rate. Veno-arterial extracorporeal life support (VA-ECLS) represents a valuable therapeutic option to stabilize patients' condition before or at the time of emergency revascularization. We...

Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex and relatively rare disease. Whilst its mortality remains unacceptably high, a multidisciplinary approach based on pre-established and shared protocols may improve prognosis and ensure appropriate resource allocation. Comprehensive hemodynamic assessment and monitoring as well as tailored, goal-directed...
