Background: Participation of autonomic nervous system activity in origin of neurally mediated reflex syncope is research topic for decades but so...
Inherited arrhythmias represent relatively rare, but life-threatening cardiac pathologies that are often associated with variants in cardiac ionic channel genes....
Single cardiomyocytes (CMs) present unstable beating patterns, partially compensated in a clustered syncytium. We have proposed and tested a novel...
Background: Same day discharge (SDD) is a validated option for selected patients (pts) undergoing coronary angiography (CAG) and percutaneous coronary...

Introduction:One of the possible complications after drug eluting stent (DES) implantation is in-stent restenosis (ISR). There are two main recommended...
BackgroundProspective registry of FFR/iFR discrepancy.Methods FFR/iFR were analyzed using a Verrata wire, and coronary flow reserve (CFR) was analyzed using a...
Recent-onset dilated cardiomyopathy (RODCM) is a disease of heterogeneous aetiology including genetic, inflammatory, toxic and metabolic causes. The interplay between...
Introduction: Endocardial radiofrequency ablation of septal hypertrophy (ERASH) is the new promising intervention method of treatment of patients with hypertrophic...
Introduction: Non-ischemic cardiomyopathies are a common cause of heart failure. This is a heterogeneous group that requires very detailed differential...
Background: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a rare disease whose treatment is concentrated in specialized treatment centres. The severity of...
Introduction: Acute-onset dyspnea represents one of the most common reasons for evaluation of the patient at the emergency departments. Differential...
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) induced by pressure overload of the left heart has recently attracted attention in clinical practice. No specific...
Background: Atrial fibrillation (AF) and related atrial tachycardias (ATs) are common arrhythmias in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). The long-term...
We have shown previously that alveolar macrophages (AM) are involved in the development of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH). Since it...
Background: High-sensitivity cardiac troponin (hs-cTn) is a key biomarker used in the assessment of patients presenting with chest pain. The...
Introduction: Up to 50% of patients with STEMI have >50% stenosis in a major non-infarct related artery. Several studies have...
Background: Long-term cardiovascular mortality (CM) after primary percutaneous coronary intervention (pPCI) for ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is poorly evaluated.Methods: Retrospective,...
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy and effectiveness of different strategies for the diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction...
Introduction: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is the most common monogenic disease associated with increased risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ACVD). FH...
Introduction: Familial dysbetalipoproteinemia (FD) is an autosomal recessive (rarely dominant) inherited disorder that is almost exclusively associated with the apolipoprotein...
Inflammation plays a substantial role in the process of atherosclerosis. The key players are monocytes transformed to macrophages and coronary...
Background: Venoarterial extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (VA-ECMO) is widely used in the treatment of cardiogenic shock (CS). However, increased VA-ECMO blood...
Introduction: Early prognostication in cardiac arrest survivors remains challenging despite multimodal approach. Currently, the only guidelines recommended biomarker for early prognostication is...
INTRODUCTION The prognosis of patients suffering refractory out-of-hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) remains serious despite the implementation of extracorporeal cardiopulmonary resuscitation (ECPR)....
Background Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) or cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT-D) devices are routinely implanted as a secondary prevention of sudden cardiac...
Background: Published evidence regarding the effect of gender on outcome after out of hospital cardiac arrest (OHCA) is inconsistent. We aimed...
Objective: To evaluate the need for cardiac monitoring of unselected patients recovered from COVID-19 and to estimate the risk of...
