CAROTID INTMAL-MEDIAL THICKNESS ANS ENDOTHELIAL FUNCTION IN YOUNG ADULTS PATIENTS WITH MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION
VALUTAZIONE ANGIOGRAFICA DELLA RIPERFUSIONE MIOCARDICA IN PAZIENTI CON INFARTO MIOCARDICO ACUTO TRATTATI CON ANGIOPLASTICA PRIMARIA
Scopo L'obiettivo del presente studio è quello di valutare se, nella popolazione in esame, il Myocardial Blush Grade e gli altri parametri angiografici siano correlati ad altri indici clinici dopo la riapertura dell'arteria epicardica. Materiali e metodi Il presente studio consiste in una valutazione retrospettiva dei parametri angiografici, in relazione a dati ecocardiografici ed elettrocardiografici, di una popolazione osservata comprendente 118 pazienti, tra Febbraio 2003 e Giugno 2007, con sopraslivellamento del tratto ST > 1 mm in almeno due derivazioni elettrocardiografiche vicine, sottoposti ad angioplastica primaria nel nostro Dipartimento. Risultati Dopo PCI, un flusso TIMI 3 è sta…

Midventricular dyskinesia during clozapine treatment?
This is the case of a young man suffering from schizophrenia and treated with clozapine. He developed acute heart failure associated with pericardial effusion and midventricular dyskinesia with severe systolic dysfunction and left ventricular dilatation at echocardiogram, readily resolved after the suspension of clozapine therapy. The segmental wall motion abnormalities observed at echocardiogram in this case are peculiar and have never been described before. The possible cardiotoxic effects of clozapine have been reported previously in the literature. Because of its serious potential side effects this drug is not considered the first choice for treatment of schizophrenia. Before beginning …

Pacing ventricolare destro: una risorsa o una minaccia?
Early after the beginning of the pacemaker era, endocardial right ventricular apex has been the most extensively used site for cardiac pacing because it was easily accessible and reliable in a long-term perspective. However many data have demonstrated that this kind of pacing is suboptimal from a physiologic point of view because it causes several adverse effects such as altered ventricular contraction geometry, mitral regurgitation, perfusion alterations and interference with myocardial ion channels which determine a worsening of left ventricular function. Several strategies have been proposed to solve these problems (alternative pacing sites, specific algorithms able to reduce the percent…

PREVALENCE OF CAROTID LESIONS IN A MEDITERRANEAN POPULTION OF HYPERTENSIVES
Unusual case of left ventricular pseudoaneurysm.
A 71 year-old man with a history of previous anterior myocardial infarction, triple coronary artery bypass graft and left ventricular (LV) aneurysmectomy was admitted to the cardiology unit for chest pain. Physical examination showed a pulsing mass in the left chest wall. Cardiac multislice computed tomography showed a rare case of LV pseudoaneurysm (6.3 x 6 x 10 cm) communicating by a fistulous trait (1 cm) with the left anterior chest wall (C7-C8), creating a subfascial mass (7.1 x 3.6 cm).

CHLAMIDYA PNEUMONIAE AND VULNERABLE PLAQUE: DOES EXIST A CORRELATION?
takotsubo cardiomiopathy after acute diarrhea
Takotsubo cardiomyopaty is a recently described syndrome characterized by transient left ventricular dysfunction, mimicking an acute coronary syndrome and usually precipitated by a physical or emotional stress. We report the first case of Takotsubo cardiomyopathy after acute diarrhea in a man. It may be argued that severe diarrhea in predisposed individuals may cause an acute stress resulting in increased sympathetic activity leading to this syndrome. Probably the relationship between the adrenergic system and the heart is more complex than general thought and the stimuli which favor an autonomic imbalance and precipitate the syndrome are very disparate in clinical practice.
