Successful management of cardiac heart failure requires a multifactorial approaching. It has been suggested that implantable hemodynamic long-term monitoring can improve patient care. This paper presents an analysis of the hemodynamic parameters commonly recorded, the most used implantable devices and their associated clinical trials. Newly implantable miniaturized sensors and devices are revisited. Finally, a newly implantable conductance-catheter based system is presented. The feasibility to realise volume and pressure measurements in the human left ventricular cavity using an implantable conductance-catheter based system is evaluated. It has the advantage to obtain LV signals continuously. In addition, it allows to realise maneuvers such as calibration and LV function by telemetry being avoiding patient hospitalizations. The rapid advances in device monitoring capabilities could change the new paradigm of the heart disease management.

The use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in surgery is expanding as the medical community started adopting it, with good results, for procedures with high risk of respiratory and hemodynamic instability. This technique provided the possibility to reduce the number of patients previously considered inoperable because of these limitations. Thymic epithelial tumors (TETs) are rare neoplastic mediastinal lesions, with a reported incidence of 0.

Stuck prosthetic valves, often resulting from pannus formation or thrombus accumulation, represent a critical complication in prosthetic valve management, carrying significant risks for morbidity and mortality. This study aims to identify factors associated with stuck valve development and assess the effectiveness of interventions in restoring normal valve function. A total of 27 patients with stuck valves were analyzed, including mitral, aortic, and tricuspid valve cases.

Myocardial work (MW) is a new echocardiographic parameter used in the assessment of cardiac energy expenditure. The aim of the current study was to evaluate changes in left ventricular MW parameters in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). One hundred and thirty five consecutive patients who underwent TAVI at one center were evaluated before and after the procedure using transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) to assess the following MW indices: global constructive work (GCW), global wasted work (GWW), global work index (GWI) and global work efficiency (GWE).

Since its first pathological description over 65 years ago, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), with a worldwide prevalence of 1:500, has emerged as the most common genetically determined cardiac disease. Diagnostic work-up has dramatically improved over the last decades, from clinical suspicion and abnormal electrocardiographic findings to hemodynamic studies, echocardiography, contrast-enhanced cardiac magnetic resonance, and genetic testing. The implementation of screening programs and the use of implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) for high-risk individuals have notably reduced arrhythmic sudden deaths, altering the disease's mortality profile.

: The objective of this research was to compare two methods of conscious sedation (midazolam vs. sevoflurane) used for performing oral surgical procedures in the older adult population by analyzing dental treatment-related anxiety levels, the quality of sedation, and potential hemodynamic changes during the interventions, as well as post-recovery symptoms and patient satisfaction levels. : A total of 104 patients underwent oral surgery with intravenous (age: 84.
