Effect of a lifestyle intervention program's on breast cancer survivors' cardiometabolic health: Two-year follow-up.

The purpose of this study is to assess the cardiometabolic responses of a lifestyle intervention (LI) conducted at home among breast cancer (BC) survivors during the two years of COVID-19 pandemic. A 3-month LI focused on diet and exercise was performed on thirty BC survivors (women; stages 0-II; non-metastatic; aged 53.6 ± 7.

Novel active fixation lead guided by electrical delay can improve response to cardiac resynchronization therapy in heart failure.

Aims: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) for heart failure (HF) recently has shown optimal results by targeting electrically delayed sites in coronary sinus (CS) branches. However this purpose often cannot be reached because of unstable left ventricular (LV) lead position. In current study were assessed the long-term effects of the novel active fixation LV lead in CS, guided by electrical delay (QLV), in patients with HF due to coronary artery disease.

Thromboembolism in COVID-19: the unsolved problem.

Introduction: The recent Sars-CoV-2 pandemic (COVID-19) has led to growing research to explain the poor clinical prognosis in some patients. While early observational studies highlighted the role of the virus in lung failure, in a second moment thrombosis emerged as a possible explanation of the worse clinical course in some patients. Despite initial difficulties in management of such patients, the constant increase of literature in the field is to date clarifying some questions from clinicians.

Therapy Of Cardiac Arrhythmias In Children: An Emerging Role Of Electroanatomical Mapping Systems.

Introduction: Cardiac arrhythmias are challenging diseases in childhood. Most of them in pediatric subjects (90.2%) are atrioventricular reentrant tachycardias and atrioventricular nodal reentrant tachycardias.

Ischemic heart disease and early diagnosis. Study on the predictive value of 2D strain.

Introduction: Two-dimensional strain echocardiography (2D-SE) quantifies left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global circumferential strain (GCS). Our aim was to test 2D-SE during dipyridamole stress echocardiography (Dipy-Stress) in patients with non-diagnostic result, checking by way of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) the possible presence of coronary artery disease (CAD).

Methods: Over twenty-four months 65 consecutive patients with non-diagnostic Dipy-Stress were studied by 2D-SE and by CCTA.
