Background: Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is the most common inherited cardiovascular disease that affects approximately one in 500 people. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) imaging has emerged as a powerful tool for the non-invasive assessment of HCM. CMR can accurately quantify the extent and distribution of hypertrophy, assess the presence and severity of myocardial fibrosis, and detect associated abnormalities.

- COVID-19 significantly impacted the healthcare system, leading to a decline in in-hospital admissions for acute myocardial infarction (AMI), but its effect on mechanical complications in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) has not been thoroughly examined.
- A study involving 479 STEMI patients showed a decrease in primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) during the pandemic and longer symptom onset-to-door times, indicating delays in treatment.
- Mechanical complications and in-hospital mortality for STEMI patients increased during the second wave of the pandemic, highlighting ongoing challenges despite previous healthcare adaptations.
A strict bidirectional relationship exists between diabetes mellitus and heart failure. Diabetic cardiomyopathy is a specific cardiac manifestation of patients with diabetes characterized by left ventricular hypertrophy and diastolic dysfunction in the early phase up to overt heart failure with reduced systolic function in the advanced stages. The pathogenesis of this condition is multifactorial and recognizes as main promoting factors the presence of insulin resistance and hyperglycemia.
