Clinicians should maintain a high vigilance for AS progression and the development of symptoms. Given the safety and efficacy of transcatheter aortic valve replacement, a randomized controlled trial is underway to evaluate its benefits in patients with moderate AS and left ventricular systolic dysfunction...
Improved treatment strategies for childhood ALL over the past decades have resulted in dramatically increased survival rates now exceeding 90%. However, antileukemic treatment interferes not only with malignant cells but also with the function of normal
Symptoms are not a sensitive indicator in timing the reintervention. Progression of clinical signs, radiological and ECG alterations and echocardiographic criteria must be followed closely once late deterioration has been diagnosed. Criteria for reoperation are basically the same as for primary valve ...
These factors have acted in concert to alter our view of the proper timing and applicability of surgery. On one hand it is no longer necessary or even advisable to delay surgery until advanced symptoms are present, and thus surgery is timed earlier today than it was even a decade ago. On...

AORTIC valve transplantationBackground: Paraganglioma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor derived from chromaffin cells. The overproduction of catecholamines accounts for the presenting symptoms and cardiovascular complications. The clinical presentation frequently overlaps with the associated cardiac diseases,...
There is a relationship between the year of valve implantation and the timing and severity of ball variance for the overall series of patients surviving operation, but for the subgroup currently at risk the sample sizes are too small to detect any difference, if one still exists. Only three ...
females, potentially arising from a greater frequency of presentation or referral to acute care services; females with AF are more likely to be symptomatic and managed conservatively, and thus may present with symptoms of advanced cardiovascular disease, associated with greater healthcare costs [31]....
Cardiotoxicity represents the most frequent cause with higher morbidity and mortality among long-term sequelae affecting classical Hodgkin lymphoma (cHL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) patients. The multidisciplinary team of Fondazione Italian
All patients were contacted by phone to ascertain their health status, cardiovascular symptoms, and outcomes. Patient-reported data collected through a standardized questionnaire were thoroughly cross-checked with official clinical records. In the case of several hemorrhagic events, only the first event ...
