Abstract
BACKGROUND The diagnosis of myocardial infarction (MI) in the presence of heart failure (HF) presents a clinical problem. While diagnostic algorithms using high-sensitivity cardiac troponin have been established for suspected MI, their accuracy in patients with HF remains uncertain. This study aims to assess the diagnostic accuracy of high-sensitivity troponin I (TnI) levels in identifying acute MI among patients with HF, focusing on baseline, absolute and relative TnI changes. METHODS Data from 562 individuals admitted to the emergency department with suspected MI were retrospectively analysed. Two-point TnI and baseline brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) test results were available. HF status was determined based on clinical, laboratory and instrumental criteria. RESULTS Among the 562 patients, 299 (53.2%) were confirmed having MI. Baseline TnI demonstrated predictive capability for MI in the overall population (area under the curve (AUC) 0.63), while TnI relative change exhibited superior performance (AUC 0.83). Baseline TnI accuracy varied significantly by group, notably decreasing in the third group (severe HF) (AUC 0.54) compared with the first and second groups (AUC 0.67 and AUC 0.71, respectively). TnI relative change demonstrated consistent accuracy across all groups, with AUCs of 0.79, 0.79 and 0.89 for the first, second and third groups, respectively, even after adjustment for age, sex and glomerular filtration rate. DISCUSSION Troponin relative change is a reliable predictor of MI, even in patients with acute HF. Baseline TnI accuracy is influenced by HF severity. It is essential to consider HF status and BNP levels when employing high-sensitivity cardiac troponin testing to rule out suspected MIs.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The debate surrounding the efficacy of coronary physiological guidance compared with conventional angiography in achieving optimal post-percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) fractional flow reserve (FFR) values persists. OBJECTIVES The primary aim of this study was to demonstrate the superiority of physiology-guided PCI, using either angiography or microcatheter-derived FFR, over conventional angiography-based PCI in complex high-risk indicated procedures (CHIPs). The secondary aim was to establish the noninferiority of angiography-derived FFR guidance compared with microcatheter-derived FFR guidance. METHODS Patients with obstructive coronary lesions and meeting CHIP criteria were randomized 2:1 to receive undergo physiology- or angiography-based PCI. Those assigned to the former were randomly allocated to angiography- or microcatheter-derived FFR guidance. CHIP criteria were long lesion (>28 mm), tandem lesions, severe calcifications, severe tortuosity, true bifurcation, in-stent restenosis, and left main stem disease. The primary outcome was invasive post-PCI FFR value. The optimal post-PCI FFR value was defined as >0.86. RESULTS A total of 305 patients (331 study vessels) were enrolled in the study (101 undergoing conventional angiography-based PCI and 204 physiology-based PCI). Optimal post-PCI FFR values were more frequent in the physiology-based PCI group compared with the conventional angiography-based PCI group (77% vs 54%; absolute difference 23%, relative difference 30%; P < 0.0001). The occurrence of the primary outcome did not differ between the 2 physiology-based PCI subgroups, demonstrating the noninferiority of angiography- vs microcatheter-derived FFR (P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS In CHIP patients, procedural planning and guidance on the basis of physiology (through either angiography- or microcatheter-derived FFR) are superior to conventional angiography for achieving optimal post-PCI FFR values.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The clinical value of cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) in cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is uncertain. Due to the growing prevalence of the disease and the current availability of disease-modifying drugs, prognostic stratification is becoming fundamental to optimizing the cost-effectiveness of treatment, patient phenotyping, follow-up, and management. Peak VO2 and VE/VCO2 slope are currently the most studied CPET variables in clinical settings, and both demonstrate substantial, independent prognostic value in several cardiovascular diseases. We aim to study the association of peak VO2 and VE/VCO2 slope with prognosis in patients with CA. METHODS AND RESULTS We performed a systematic review and searched for clinical studies performing CPET for prognostication in patients with transthyretin-CA and light-chain-CA. Studies reporting hazard ratio (HR) for mortality and peak VO2 or VE/VCO2 slope were further selected for quantitative analysis. HRs were pooled using a random-effect model. Five studies were selected for qualitative and three for quantitative analysis. A total of 233 patients were included in the meta-analysis. Mean peak VO2 resulted consistently depressed, and VE/VCO2 slope was increased. Our pooled analysis showed peak VO2 (pooled HR 0.89, 95% CI 0.84-0.94) and VE/VCO2 slope (pooled HR 1.04, 95% CI 1.01-1.07) were significantly associated with the risk of death in CA patients, with no significant statistical heterogeneity for both analyses. CONCLUSIONS CPET is a valuable tool for prognostic stratification in CA, identifying patients at increased risk of death. Large prospective clinical trials are needed to confirm this exploratory finding.

Abstract
Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is a chronic condition driven by the complex interaction of different risk factors including genetics, lifestyle, environment, etc. which, differently from other pathologies, can be prevented. Treatment of CVD has been inconceivably successful but now it seems that it has reached a plateau suggesting that prevention is the way forward. However, the COVID-19 pandemic has spotted all the limits of the actual health system regarding territorial and, particularly, of preventive medicine. To this end, recently, the SCORE2 risk prediction algorithms, a contemporary model to estimate 10 years risk of CVD in Europe and the new guidelines on prevention have been released. The present review article describes a dream: how prevention of CVD should be addressed in the future. New concepts and paradigms like early genetically personalized and imaging driven risk factors, cardiac risk cartography, measurements of the exposome, estimation of costs of a delayed outcome vs. healthy lifespan, are all addressed. We highlight the importance of technologies and the concept of being engaged in a 'healthy' and not just 'sick' system as it is today. The concept of 'clearing house' with a 'care health team' instead of a 'heart team' is described. Finally, we articulate the four points necessary for the dream to come true.

Abstract
The therapy of transthyretin (TTR)-related cardiac amyloidosis consists, on the one hand, of the prevention and management of complications (supportive therapy) and on the other of treatments aimed at interrupting or slowing down the production and deposition of fibrils (disease-modifying therapy). This definition includes drugs that act on different phases of amyloidogenesis: (i) silencing of the gene encoding TTR (small interfering RNA: patisiran, vutrisiran; antisense oligonucleotides: inotersen, eplontersen; new CRISPR Cas-9 drug technology for editing in vivo DNA); (ii) stabilization of circulating TTR to inhibit its dissociation and subsequent assembly of the resulting monomers in amyloidotic fibrils (tafamidis, acoramidis, and tolcapone); (iii) destruction and re-absorption of already formed amyloid tissue deposits. Drugs related to the latter strategy (antibodies) are still the subject of Phase 1 or 2 studies.

Abstract
AIMS This meta-analysis aims to compare direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) versus vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) in the setting of left ventricular thrombosis (LVT). METHOD AND RESULTS We systematically searched MEDLINE, Cochrane Library, Biomed Central and Web of Science for trials comparing DOACs versus VKAs in the setting of LVT and reporting outcome data on thrombosis resolution, stroke and bleeding. Fourteen studies were finally selected. The Mantel-Haenszel method with a random effect model was used for the pooled analysis. The primary outcome was the occurrence of LVT resolution. The secondary outcomes were the occurrence of stroke or bleeding during treatment. One thousand three hundred and thirty-two patients were included in the analysis for the primary outcome. Of these, 424 were treated with DOACs and 908 with VKAs. The pooled odds ratio (OR) for the primary outcome was 1.00 [95% confidence interval (95% CI) 0.77-1.31, I2 0.0%], reflecting equal effect in terms of thrombus resolution. Overall, 2290 patients, 608 on DOACs and 1682 on VKAs were included in the analysis of stroke occurrence, showing reduced risk of events in patients treated with DOACs (pooled OR 0.58, 95% CI 0.36-0.93; I2 0.0%) as well as for bleeding occurrence (number of patients included 2139; pooled OR 0.64, 95% CI 0.44-0.94; I2 0.0%). CONCLUSION Compared with VKAs, we found DOACs to have similar efficacy on thrombus resolution and favorable effects on stroke reduction and bleedings. DOACs should be considered as an alternative treatment for LVT. Large prospective randomized clinical trials are needed to confirm this exploratory finding.

Abstract
Transthyretin (TTR) is a tetrameric protein synthesized mostly by the liver. As a result of gene mutations or as an ageing-related phenomenon, TTR molecules may misfold and deposit in the heart and in other organs as amyloid fibrils. Amyloid transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) manifests typically as left ventricular pseudohypertrophy and/or heart failure with preserved ejection fraction and is an underdiagnosed disorder affecting quality of life and prognosis. This justifies the current search for novel tools for early diagnosis and accurate risk prediction, as well as for safe and effective therapies. In this review we will provide an overview of the main unsolved issues and the most promising research lines on ATTR-CA, ranging from the mechanisms of amyloid formation to therapies.

Abstract
About one in seven elderly patients with severe calcific aortic stenosis (AS) also have ATTR amyloid cardiomyopathy (AC-TTR). The reasons for this close association are not fully known, but the two entities are not only related by common epidemiology. For example, it is possible to hypothesize that an amyloidotic infiltration of the aortic valve, even partial, can act as a trigger for the development of endothelial damage and subsequent calcification. Another hypothesis is the increased myocardial strain induced by AS may locally favour the process of amyloidogenesis and tissue infiltration. In a patient with AS, the coexistence of AC-TTR can be suspected by careful analysis of the echocardiogram and the ECG, especially if a clinical history of carpal tunnel syndrome coexists. Bone tracer scintigraphy allows a diagnosis of certainty. Recently, several studies have evaluated the prognostic implications of the coexistence of the two entities in candidates for percutaneous aortic valve replacement, showing how amyloidosis would not significantly impact the results of the procedure, but would only be associated with a greater risk of distant heart failure. In patients with AS associated with AC-TTR, valve replacement should not be ruled out in the presence of the usual clinical-haemodynamic indications.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Glucagon-like Peptide-1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) have been shown to lower cardiovascular risk, and they are likely to reduce the incidence of all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes. In this study-level analysis we investigated how metabolic and blood pressure changes are related to the reduction of cardiovascular events with GLP-1RAs.
Methods
We included seven randomized, placebo-controlled trials (ELIXA, LEADER, SUSTAIN-6, REWIND, EXSCEL, PIONEER 6, Harmony Outcomes) reporting incidence of one or more of the following outcomes: MACE, stroke, myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, all-cause death, for a total of 56004 patients. A Pearson correlation analysis between logHR for the occurrence of outcome and placebo-corrected changes in Hb1Ac, systolic blood pressure and weight was performed.
Findings
Reduction of HbA1c level was significantly related to the reduction of MACE, Pearson R 0.86 (p=0.006) and stroke, Pearson R 0.79 (p=0.018). The reduction of weight instead, showed a robust correlation, not only with reduction of MACE, Pearson R 0.75 (p=0.032) and stroke, Pearson R 0.71 (p=0.047), but also with reduction of both cardiovascular death, Pearson R 0.95 (p=0.003; Picture 1) and all-cause death, Pearson R 0.91 (p=0.013). Reduction of SBP was significantly related to the reduction of both cardiovascular death, Pearson R 0.84 (p=0.036) and all-cause death, Pearson R 0.88 (p=0.020), but not of MACE.
Discussion
Mechanism of GLP-1RAs in preventing MACE is not fully understood. Other drugs that improve glycemic control did not showed convincing effect on cardiovascular outcome. Our finding prompts some considerations: both weight loss and control of HbA1c levels could play a role in MACE reduction. On the other hand, GLP1-RAs could act through other mechanisms and the metabolic effect could be a marker of the drug potency and dosage. Based on mechanistic studies, a theorized mechanism of cardiovascular benefit seen with GLP-1 RA is thought to be an anti-atherothrombotic and lipid plaque stabilization effect. This seems particularly convincing seeing the strong relationship of weight change and major events reduction. Notably, reduction in cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality was not related to the anti-hyperglycemic effect. Contrarily the body weight and SBP reduction were strongly related to both cardiovascular and all-cause mortality. These features could support the presumption of a hypothetic GLP1-RAs mechanism in modulation of lipidic profile and in RAAS inhibition, which have been already proved as beneficial for primary and secondary cardiovascular prevention.
Conclusion
Cardiovascular protection from GLP1-RAs is not primarily related to HbA1c reduction itself. Our data suggest that GLP-1RAs with the greater metabolic impact, such as liraglutide and semaglutide, should be used to treat diabetic patients to prevent MACE and CV death.

Abstract
Type II Bartter's syndrome is a hereditary hypokalemic renal salt-wasting disorder caused by mutations in the ROMK channel (Kir1.1; Kcnj1), mediating potassium recycling in the thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (TAL) and potassium secretion in the distal tubule and cortical collecting duct (CCT). Newborns with Type II Bartter are transiently hyperkalemic, consistent with loss of ROMK channel function in potassium secretion in distal convoluted tubule and CCT. Yet, these infants rapidly develop persistent hypokalemia owing to increased renal potassium excretion mediated by unknown mechanisms. Here, we used free-flow micropuncture and stationary microperfusion of the late distal tubule to explore the mechanism of renal potassium wasting in the Romk-deficient, Type II Bartter's mouse. We show that potassium absorption in the loop of Henle is reduced in Romk-deficient mice and can account for a significant fraction of renal potassium loss. In addition, we show that iberiotoxin (IBTX)-sensitive, flow-stimulated maxi-K channels account for sustained potassium secretion in the late distal tubule, despite loss of ROMK function. IBTX-sensitive potassium secretion is also increased in high-potassium-adapted wild-type mice. Thus, renal potassium wasting in Type II Bartter is due to both reduced reabsorption in the TAL and K secretion by max-K channels in the late distal tubule.

Abstract
The loop of Henle (LOH) is an important site of renal acidification. Using the in vivo microperfusion technique of LOH combined with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) performed on isolated thick ascending limbs (TAL), we demonstrated that the Na + -H + exchanger is the main transport mechanism involved, although a small, but significant contribution from the H+-ATPase also occurs. Among the various Na+-H+ exchanger isoforms we have evidenced that NHE3 is expressed and functionally active along the TAL. Since the LOH is exposed to osmotic stress, bicarbonate transport was also measured under medullary hypotonicity conditions, which led to the stimulation of bicarbonate reabsorption. We demonstrated that the LOH can participate in the tubular adaptation to an increased filtered bicarbonate load by increasing net LOH bicarbonate transport. In this setting, at the molecular level, mRNA and protein abundance of NHE3 were also stimulated, and coincided with an increase in NHE3 activity. Finally, NHE3 expression and abundance was highly stimulated in the early phase of diabetes, which is characterized by increased glomerular filtration rate (GFR).

Abstract
The kidney is essential in maintaining body acid-base status. Recently, the use of transgenic mice has largely contributed to the understanding of the mechanisms involved. Important issues have been addressed in terms of the function of proteins or their regulation. In the proximal tubule, the role of Na+/HCO3-cotransport has been established, although further studies are needed to understand how its mutations lead to renal disease. Na+/H+ exchange has also been extensively studied, and its role in diuretic and natriuretic responses following an increase in blood pressure has been elucidated. The interaction of other transport proteins, such as the Na+/phosphate cotransporter NaPi II-a, with the Na+/H+ exchanger has also been investigated. In the medullary thick ascending limb of Henle's loop (MTAL), a role for NHE1 in transepithelial HCO3- absorption has been demonstrated: basolateral NHE1 controls the function of apical NHE3. As for the distal nephron, the majority of observations suggest that the regulation of H+-ATPase activity in response to acid-base status is mediated by the trafficking of pumps or pump sub-units, especially for the a4 subunit, rather than changes in subunit expression levels. Furthermore, the function of pendrin, a chloride/anion exchanger, has been assessed in response to changes in acid-base status. Important results have been obtained regarding the regulation of proximal tubule transport by several mechanisms, such as microvilli changes and the inducible and endothelial isoform of nitric oxide synthase (NOS). Finally, the interaction of chloride channels and potassium-chloride cotransporter with proton secretion has been evaluated. These findings highlight the importance of knockout animal models in studying kidney regulation of acid-base balance.

Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is fast becoming a world epidemic. About one-third of individuals with diabetes, after 10 yrs, develop diabetic nephropathy, the first cause of end-stage kidney disease. The evolution of diabetic nephropathy can be considered in three stages: glomerular hyperfiltration, microalbuminuria (30-300 mg/24 hr) and proteinuria (>300 mg/24 hr). This study was designed to investigate the tubular basis of glomerular hyperfiltration in early diabetes mellitus. Diabetes was inducted in rats with i.p. streptozotocin (65 mg/kg bw) for 6 days. At the end of the treatment, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR), measured by inulin clearance, had substantially increased in diabetic rats compared with controls. Quantitative polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blot analysis reveal that in diabetic rats compared with controls, mRNA and protein abundance was higher for type 3 sodium/hydrogen exchanger (NHE3) in proximal tubule and ascending limbs of Henle's loop, and higher for bumetanide-sensitive sodium-potassium-2 chloride cotransporter (NKCC2) in ascending limbs of Henle's loop. Western blot analysis confirmed the PCR results. Finally, the abundance of á -ENaC protein was unchanged in diabetic rats compared to controls. These results show that the primary sodium reabsorption increase in proximal tubule reduces salt concentrations at the macula densa. This elicits a tubuloglomerular feedback-dependent increase in single nephron GFR.

Abstract
Pneumopericardium is a rare entity, but it can occur in a wide variety of clinical situations. The spontaneous cases are very rare and generally can be associated with some predisposing or precipitating conditions. We report a case in which the pathogenesis of pneumopericardium undefined after conventional diagnostic clinical investigation. A concise review of the recent literature is presented, and some practical clinical remarks are made.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patients with TNM stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer have short survival times. Previous controlled studies comparing chemotherapy and supportive care for the treatment of this type of cancer have not given consistent results, have included patients with different disease stages, and have rarely reported drug dose intensity. PURPOSE The present trial was designed to assess the safety and the effect on survival of supportive care alone versus chemotherapy with cisplatin, cyclophosphamide, and mitomycin combined with appropriate supportive care in patients with stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer. METHODS Patients (n = 102) with stage IV non-small-cell lung cancer were randomly assigned to one of two treatment regimens. The combined modality group (52 patients) received supportive care along with cisplatin (75 mg/m2), cyclophosphamide (400 mg/m2), and mitomycin (10 mg/m2) given intravenously at 3-week intervals. The supportive care group (50 patients) received supportive care alone. Randomization was stratified on the basis of histology (squamous versus nonsquamous cell carcinoma), performance status (Karnofsky), and weight loss (during the 6 months preceding randomization). The two groups were well matched for age and sex. Survival analysis was performed after the last patient died. RESULTS The median number of chemotherapy cycles was 3.5 per patient. Mean weekly delivered doses of drugs were as follows: cisplatin, 22.1 mg/m2; cyclophosphamide, 118 mg/m2; and mitomycin, 2.9 mg/m2. Toxic effects due to chemotherapy were generally mild, but peripheral neuropathy and hematologic and renal toxic effects were observed. In the supportive care group, mean survival was 6.1 months (median, 4.0 months); six patients lived at least 12 months and two lived at least 18 months. In the combined modality group, mean survival was 11.3 months (median, 8.5 months); 20 patients lived at least 12 months, 13 lived at least 18 months, and five lived at least 24 months. Difference in survival was statistically significant (P < .0001). Survival was directly related to initial performance status in both groups (P < .01) and was significantly (P < .01) longer for patients with squamous cell carcinoma than for those with nonsquamous cell carcinoma. CONCLUSIONS The combination of supportive care and cisplatin-cyclophosphamide-mitomycin therapy offers a survival advantage over supportive care alone in patients with advanced non-small-cell lung cancer. IMPLICATIONS Metastatic non-small-cell lung cancer, generally considered to be unresponsive or marginally responsive to chemotherapy, can be treated with chemotherapy, with an expectation of prolonging patient survival. Although the results of the present study are encouraging, clinical research should continue to be directed toward developing more effective treatments for this disease.

Abstract
Forty-two patients with metastasized, and 7 patients with locally advanced forms of carcinoma of the breast were treated with a combination of three drugs: CTX 200-400 mg/sq.m. on days 1, 3 and 5, ADM 40 mg/sq.m. on day 1, and DDP 30 mg/sq.m. on days 1, 3 and 5 (CAP), every 21 days. The 42 patients with metastasized carcinoma had already received substantial pre-treatment by surgery and with adjuvant polychemotherapy +/- chemotherapy on recurrence +/- hormonotherapy +/- radiotherapy. The disease sites were: bone (30%), skin (19%), lymph nodes (13.5%), pleura (12.5%), lung (12%) and liver (11%). The 7 patients with locally advanced carcinoma had not been pre-treated; they received the same chemotherapy in the pre-operative neo-adjuvant phase. Positive responses to CAP in the cases with metastasized carcinoma according to individual disease sites (37 pre-treated patients assessable after at least two courses of therapy) were as follows in percentage terms: 24% bone lesions, 56% skin lesions, 77% lymph node lesions, 30% liver lesions, 56% lung lesions, 22% pleural lesions. 3/37 patients (8%) showed complete remission in all disease sites, while 6/37 showed partial remission. This percentage (8 + 16 = 24%) is encouraging, as CAP, in these patients, represents on average the 3rd to 4th line of therapy. Responses to neo-adjuvant CAP therapy (7 patients assessable after at least two courses of therapy) were as follows: 5 patients showed partial remission after 3-6 courses, 1 complete remission, and 1 objective improvement.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

Abstract
The effects of exposure to electric fields at 50 Hz of various intensities (100, 25, 10 kV/m) on the food intake and body growth were determined in the rat at various stages of development. The different field intensities were induced between 1.5 by 2 m steel plates. At 100 kV/m, 25 rats were exposed 8 h/d for 48 days. In respect to controls, after 2 weeks of exposure a marked decrease of the growth rate was observed in exposed animals, but not of the food intake. At 25 kV/m 11 animals, 28 days old, were exposed 8 h/d for 35 days. A slight decrease in growth rate, statistically significant only at the 23rd and the 26th day of exposure, was found. No effect was observed on food intake and full recovery of body weight of exposed animals was achieved in 4 weeks after the end of the exposure. At 10 kV/m, in addition to 5 rats 28 days old, exposed 8 h/d for 35 days and to the corresponding controls, 15 "sham exposed" animals were studied. No significant difference in growth rate was found between the exposed animals and the two other groups. Food intake of exposed was for two weeks of treatment the same of control animals. Thereafter, there was tendency toward a higher food intake in the exposed animals being significant during recovery.

Abstract
Female rats were fed a diet with low protein content or with low and high amount of essential fatty acids (EFA). Ganglioside content and distribution were analyzed in the brain of animals at two different periods of fetal life (15th or 20th day). In the fetuses from mothers fed the diet with low amount of EFA the content of ganglioside is significantly lower than in the control group. The three diets resulted in the modification of ganglioside pattern, mainly for the animals on the 15th day of gestation.

Abstract
Phenacetin in solution at different concentrations of Na+ was orally administered to dogs. Phenacetin absorption is increased by the Na+: a positive correlation was noted between the Na+ concentration in the medium and the plasma levels of phenacetin. Ouabain antagonizes the effect of Na+ on phenacetin absorption.
