Abstract
INTRODUCTION Amyloid light-chain amyloidosis is a rare condition characterized by the abnormal production of immunoglobulin light chain that misshape and form amyloid fibrils. Over time, these amyloid deposits can accumulate slowly, causing dysfunction in organs and tissues. Early identification is crucial to ensure optimal treatment. We aim to identify a better marker of cardiac amyloidosis, using advanced echocardiography, to improve diagnosis and the timing of available treatments. MATERIALS AND METHODS 108 consecutive hematological patients (32, 30% female and 76, 70% male) with a plasma cell disorder referred to our Cardiological center underwent ECG, first and second-level echocardiography (Speckle Tracking) and complete biochemical profile. The best predictors of ALCA (AUC ≥ 0.8) were included in a further analysis stratified by AL score. RESULTS At ROC analysis, the best bio-humoral predictors for the diagnosis of ALCA were Nt-pro-BNP (AUC: 0.97; p < 0.01) and Hs-Tn (AUC: 0.87; p < 0.01). Regarding echocardiography, the best diagnostic predictors were left atrial stiffness (LAS) (AUC: 0.83; p < 0.01) for the left atrium; free wall thickness for the right ventricle (AUC: 0.82; <0.01); left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) (AUC: 0.92; p < 0.01) and LVMi (AUC 0.80; p < 0.001) for the left ventricle; and AL-score (AUC 0.83 p < 0.01). In patients with AL-SCORE < 1, LAS (AUC 0.86 vs AUC 0.79), LVGLS (AUC 0.92 vs AUC 0.86) and LV mass (AUC 0.91 vs AUC 0.72) had better diagnostic accuracy than patients with higher AL-score (AL SCORE ≥ 1). CONCLUSION Multi-parametric imaging approach with LVGLS and LAS may be helpful for detecting early cardiac involvement in AL amyloidosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Cardiac involvement is described as the most important prognostic factor in light chain amyloidosis. An early diagnosis is mandatory to customize the follow-up timing and the best treatment. The aim of the study was to identify the role of advanced echocardiography in the diagnosis of amyloid light chain cardiac amyloidosis (ALCA).
Material and methods
Seventy-seven patients were prospectively included in the study: 22 patients with biopsy proven ALCA, 28 patients with multiple mieloma, and 27 with monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. All patients underwent first and second level imaging including Speckle Tracking and complete biochemical profile. Univariate and Multivariate analysis was applied to the best multi-chamber predictor assessed with Receiver Operating Curve analysis. Continuous variables were discretized and compared with different subgroups based on multiparametric imaging assessment using available AL score.
Results
Biochemical indices have been confirmed as the best predictors of ALCA. More specifically, high sensitivity troponin (hsTn) and N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NT-pro-BNP) showed an AUC of 0.88 and 0.91 respectively. Among left ventricular systolic function parameters, left ventricular longitudinal strain (AUC: 0.92); apical sparing pattern (AUC: 0.75) and relative wall thickness (RWT) (AUC: 0.88) showed the best diagnostic accuracy. Atrial parameters such as left atrial volume index (LAVI) (AUC: 0.74), left atrial stiffness (LAS) (AUC: 0.82) and inter-atrial septum diameter (AUC: 0.75) showed a good diagnostic accuracy in ALCA (Figure 1). LAS and AL score maintained their diagnostic value in the multivariate model analysis (B=2,16; p=0,01 and B= 0,72; p<0.01 respectively). However, only LAS, with a cut off value of 0.65, was able to discriminate ALCA when AL score was not detrimental (P<0.001).
Conclusion
ALCA diagnosis often relies only on the biochemical profile. A comprehensive cardiac evaluation by a multiparametric imaging approach with LAS estimation is mandatory to ensure early diagnosis and a prompt treatment through a multidisciplinary team assessment.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In acute and chronic heart failure (HF), the relief of congestion is one of the pivotal elements to improve patient's quality of life and prognosis. N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) is a well-known marker of cardiovascular congestion in HF, although with limited specificity. Peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) by speckle tracking echocardiography is emerging as an index of left ventricular (LV) filling pressure and prognosis in HF, however, its role as a marker of congestion should be further elucidated.
Purpose
the aim of our study was to determine the association between NT-proBNP and PALS and their prognostic implications in patients acute and chronic HF.
Methods
patients hospitalized for de-novo or recurrent acute HF and patients with chronic HF referred to our echo-labs for follow-up evaluation were included in this retrospective study. Patients with missing data, previous cardiac surgery, heart transplant and/or left ventricular assist device implantation, non-feasible speckle tracking analysis were excluded. Clinical characteristics, laboratory examinations, transthoracic echocardiography data were collected. Speckle tracking analysis was performed offline on the echocardiographic records. Follow up data were obtained via electronical records or phone-calls. The primary clinical endpoint was a combination of all-cause death and HF hospitalization.
Results
the overall study cohort included 388 patients, of which 172 with acute HF and 216 with chronic HF. Mean age was 65±12, 37% were female. The majority of patients had reduced LV systolic function (mean LV ejection fraction = 30±10%; mean LV global longitudinal strain = −8.3±3.9%). Patients with acute HF presented higher values of NT-proBNP than those with chronic HF (median [interquartile range] = 6039 [2989; 13535]pg/ml vs. 544[200; 1533] pg/ml) and lower global PALS (10.4 [6.3; 16.45] vs. 15.6 [10.6; 21]%). Global PALS showed a significant inverse correlation with NT-proBNP both in acute and chronic HF (Fig. 1; all p<0.001) and to be a significant predictor of NT-proBNP with linear regression analysis (R2=0.2; p<0.001). During a median follow-up of 1 year, 98 patients reached the combined endpoint (49 all-cause deaths, 16 cardiovascular deaths, 62 HF hospitalizations). With ROC curves, both NT-proBNP and global PALS showed to be good predictors of the combined endpoint (AUC=0.87 and 0.82 respectively, Fig. 2). Kaplan-Meier analysis showed a good risk stratification for the composite endpoint for ROC-derived cut-off of PALS ≤15% and NTproBNP ≥874.5%, and above all for their combination (Fig. 1B)
Conclusions
global PALS is associated with NT-proBNP in acute and chronic HF and may be used as additional index of congestion to optimize therapeutic management in these patients. The combination of global PALS and NT-proBNP could enhance the prognostic stratification of HF.

Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
Amelioration of therapies and increased survival in heart failure (HF) is leading to a growing number of patients affected by advanced HF, with an overall 1-year prognosis ranging from 25 to 75%. The gold standard treatment for end stage HF is heart transplantation (Htx), but lack of organs donors remains an important limitation. Marginal hearts can potentially improve and be utilized after a re-evaluation by “aggressive” assessment of donor left ventricular dysfunction, with an important increase of utilization rates (from 38–59%) in the latest years. In our study we analysed if recipients of marginal donor hearts, selected by dipyridamole stress echocardiography, had different outcome compared to recipients with acceptable donor hearts.
Methods
Data collected from 2006 and 2014 of patients who received orthotopic Htx were retrospectively analysed. Clinical, laboratory and instrumental features were evaluated and patients with homogenous baseline characteristics were selected to reduce biases among the two groups. Dipyridamole stress echo was performed on donors >55 years old or <55 with comorbidities/mildly dysfunctional left ventricle.
Results
Twenty-two recipients were included (eleven patients with a marginal donor heart, group 1, and eleven with acceptable donor heart, group 2). Mean donors age was 41±23, 45±29 years for group 1 vs 36±12 for group 2. The average follow-up was 113 months. Age, cardiovascular risk and morpho-functional characteristics of the left ventricle were comparable between the two population (P>0.05) (see Table 1). Left atrial size was significantly higher in marginal hearts (Optimal: p=0.007; Marginal: p=0.003). Optimal donors showed a higher impact of CAV (p=0.019) together with more elevated values of cholesterol and triglycerides (p=0.048 and p=0.012 respectively). No rejection differences were found between the two groups. Four patients deceased, 3 had received a standard donor heart and 1 was from the marginal donor group, with and overall median time to death of 124 months.
Conclusions
No mortality difference was detected among the two heart donor groups with a lower incidence of CAD in the marginal heart donor population. Our study shows how Htx from selected marginal donor heart can implement shortage of organs without difference in survival with acceptable donor hearts.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
The association of speckle tracking echocardiography measures of left ventricular (LV) and right ventricular (RV) strain with clinical outcome in heart failure with reduced and preserved ejection fraction (HFrEF and HFpEF) has been extensively investigated. In fact, while the contribute of LV ejection fraction (LVEF) for prognosis is controversial, myocardial strain has proven to be a strong and independent prognostic predictor in many HF studies.
Purpose
The aim of this meta-analysis was to assess the prognostic value of LV global longitudinal strain (GLS) and free wall RV longitudinal strain (fwRVLS) by 2-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography in patients with HFrEF, HF with mildly-reduced ejection fraction (HFmrEF) and HFpEF.
Methods
A systematic literature search of medical databases including Pubmed, Scopus, Ovid Online, EMBASE, Web of Science, Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, Scopus was performed using PRISMA principles. All relevant studies in English language reporting the predictive value of LV GLS and/or fwRVLS for mortality and/or cardiovascular events in HFrEF, HFmrEF and HFpEF, with follow up >6 months, were identified. Case reports/series and abstract congresses were excluded (Fig. 1). All-cause mortality and a composite endpoint of cardiovascular death, re-hospitalization for HF, cardiac transplantation, ventricular assist device implantation were analyzed. Hazard ratios (HR) were extracted from univariate and multivariate random-effects models reporting on the association of LV GLS and fwRVLS and outcome and described as pooled estimates with 95% confidence intervals (CI).
Results
Fifty studies (n=18276 patients) satisfied the inclusion criteria (35 studies in chronic HF, 15 studies in acute HF). Most studies (n=36) included patients with HFrEF, while 14 studies included patients with HFmrEF (n=3) and with HFpEF (n=11); thus HFmrEF and HFpEF were grouped together for the analysis. Overall, 48 studies included LV GLS (median value = −9% [from −17% to −11%], 17 studies included fwRVLS (median value = −18% [from −24% to −14%]). Over a median follow up of 32 [from 7 to 67] months follow up, 5618 (31%) had a cardiovascular event or died. LV GLS and fwRVLS were independently associated with all-cause mortality and the composite outcome, regardless of LVEF (Fig. 2), both in HFrEF (HR 1.26; 95% CI [1.15; 1.37]; p<0.01 for LV GLS and HR 1.06; 95% CI [1.03; 1.09]; p<0.01 for fwRVLS) and in HFpEF (HR 1.07; 95% CI [1.03; 1.12]; p<0.01 for LV GLS and HR 1.08; 95% CI [0.96; 1.21]; p<0.01 for fwRVLS).
Conclusions
These meta-analysis data demonstrate that LV and RV strain are associated with mortality and cardiovascular events in patients with HF, HFmrEF and HFpEF and may provide important additive prognostic information. These findings emphasize the potential usefulness of LV GLS and fwRVLS in clinical practice to improve the risk stratification and management of patients with HF regardless of LVEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Right ventricular failure (RVF) complicates 10 to 40% of left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implants, with necessity of high dose inotropic/vasodilatory drugs and right ventricular assist devices in severe cases. Prevention of RVF starts with appropriate patient selection for LVAD implant through extensive clinical, echocardiographic and hemodynamic evaluation.
Purpose
This study aimed to evaluate the performance of a novel non-invasive echocardiographic method for estimation of right ventricular myocardial work to predict RVF and death after LVAD implant.
Methods
Consecutive patients from May 2017 to February 2022 undergoing LVAD implant were retrospectively reviewed. Patients without a useful echocardiographic exam and/or a right heart catheterization prior to LVAD implant were excluded. Myocardial work analysis by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography (STE) was performed in these patients. The primary endpoints were RVF and death.
Results
The study included 23 patients (mean age 64±8 years, 91% men). Median follow-up time was 304 days (IQR: 23–1017). GWI significantly correlated with invasively-derived right ventricular stroke work index (RVSWI, r=0.538; p=0.008) and pulmonary arterial compliance (PAC, r=−0.522; p=0.013). Patients who experienced RVF (26.1%) had lower GWI (p=0.047) and GWE (p=0.001) and higher GWW (p=0.001). Patients who experienced death at 30 days after LVAD implant (26.1%) had lower GWE (p=0.005) and higher GWW (p=0.006). Performance for prediction of RVF after LVAD implant was greatest for GWE (AUC 0.92), followed by GWW (AUC 0.88) and GWI (AUC 0.78). A cut-off of 77% for GWE have a 100% sensibility and 82% specificity for prediction of RVF. At long term follow-up, death occurred in 4 patients (29%) in the GWE>77% group and in 6 patients (67%) in the GWE<77% group (hazard ratio for death, 0.24; 95% CI, 0.07 to 0.89, p=0.032).
Conclusions
Right ventricular myocardial work is a strong predictor of RVF after LVAD implant and death at long-term follow up. Its calculation should be implemented in the evaluation for LVAD candidacy.

Background
Sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) or death (SCD) in young people represents a dramatic event, often leading to severe neurologic outcomes or death. However, the incidence of this phenomenon remains largely unknown, since the recording of cases, and consequently the identification of the underlying causes, requires a multi-professional and disciplinary approach, including genetic counselling.
Purpose
In this study, we aimed to monitor and investigate SCA and SCD in young people (≤50 years) recorded in the ToRSADE© registry comparing clinical and molecular data.
Methods and Results
A total of 22 blood samples were analyzed; 14 were collected from dead patients during autopsy and 8 from resuscitated patients after cardiac arrest. Next Generation Sequencing (NGS) analysis revealed 38% of total cases with Likely Pathogenetic (LP) variants associated to Cardiomyopathy (CM) or Channelopathy, and 61% with Variant of Uncertain Significance (VUS). In three cases, NGS confirmed autopsy and histology findings: the p.(Leu466Phe) variant in SCN5A associated with Brugada Syndrome (1a), the p.(Glu173del) in TNNT2 for Hypertrophic CM (1b) and the p. (Asn480Lysfs*20) in PKP2 for Arrhythmogenic Cardiomyopathy (AC) (1c).
Conclusions
Creation of the ToRSADE© registry allowed implementation of a blood repository for molecular and genetic analysis. Genetic analysis combined with clinical information and post-mortem evaluation constitute a multi-disciplinary approach to juvenile SCD and SCA, while providing medical and genetic assistance to families, public awareness especially among youths and athletes, as well as up-to-date research on the underlying mechanisms of cardiomyopathies.

Background
SARS-CoV-2 infection might be associated with cardiac complications in low-risk populations, such as in competitive athletes. However, data obtained in adults cannot be directly transferred to preadolescents and adolescents that are less susceptible to adverse clinical outcomes and are often asymptomatic.
Purpose
We conducted this prospective multi-centre study to describe the incidence of cardiovascular complications following SARS-CoV-2 infection in a large cohort of junior athletes and to examine the effectiveness of a screening protocol for a safe return-to-play.
Methods
Junior competitive athletes suffering from asymptomatic or mildly symptomatic SARS-CoV-2 infection underwent cardiac screening, including physical examination, 12-lead resting electrocardiogram (ECG), echocardiogram, and exercise ECG testing. Further investigations were performed in cases of abnormal findings.
Results
A total of 571 competitive junior athletes (14.3±2.5 years) were evaluated. About half of the population (50.3%) was mildly symptomatic during SARS-CoV-2 infection, and the average duration of symptoms was 4±1 days. Pericardial involvement was found in 3.2% of junior athletes: small pericardial effusion (2.6%), moderate pericardial effusion (0.2%), and pericarditis (0.4%). No relevant arrhythmias or myocardial inflammation were found in subjects with pericardial involvement. Athletes with pericarditis or moderate pericardial effusion were temporarily disqualified, and a gradual return-to-play was achieved after complete clinical resolution.
Conclusions
The prevalence of cardiac involvement was low in junior athletes after asymptomatic or mild SARS-CoV-2 infection. A screening strategy primarily driven by cardiac symptoms, ECG abnormalities and arrhythmias at rest and/or during exercise should detect cardiac involvement from SARS-CoV-2 infection in most junior athletes. Systematic echocardiographic screening is not recommended in junior athletes.

Abstract
Right ventricular failure (RVF) after left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implant is associated with increasing morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to identify the best predictors of RVF post LVAD-implant among biochemical, haemodynamic and echocardiographic parameters. From 2009 to 2019, 38 patients who underwent LVAD implantation at our centre were prospectively enrolled. Preoperative clinical, laboratory, echocardiographic and haemodynamic parameters were reported. Overall, eight patients (21%) developed RVF over time, which revealed to be strongly related to overall mortality. Pulmonary artery pulsatility index (PAPi) resulted to be the most significant right heart catheterization index in discriminating RVF vs no RVF patients [(1.32 ± 0.26 vs. 3.95 ± 3.39 respectively) p = 0.0036]. Regarding transthoracic echocardiography, RVF was associated with reduced free wall right ventricular longitudinal strain (fw-RVLS) (- 7.9 ± 1.29 vs. - 16.14 ± 5.83) (p < 0.009), which was superior to other echocardiographic determinants of RVF. Among laboratory values, N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) was strongly increased in RVF patients [(10,496.13 pg/ml ± 5272.96 pg/ml vs. 2865, 5 pg/ml ± 2595.61 pg/ml) p = 0.006]. PAPi, NT-proBNP and fwRVLS were the best pre-operative predictors of RVF, a post-LVAD implant complication which was confirmed to have a great impact on survival. In particular, fwRVLS has been proven to be the strongest independent predictor.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) has an important role in subjects presenting with acute myocarditis and preserved ejection fraction (pEF); it is widely used as a non-invasive imaging test in patients with suspected myocarditis, both for diagnostic and prognostic purpose. Despite this, poor data is available regarding which parameters define a worst prognosis in acute myocarditis with pEF.
Purpose
The aim of this study was to analyze the role of CMR in acute myocarditis with pEF at long term follow up.
Methods
We retrospectively enrolled 61 patients admitted to our Cardiology Department with suspected acute myocarditis and pEF. In the acute phase we analyzed clinical parameters, blood sample tests, echocardiographic and CMR indices. Myocarditis was confirmed using the Lake-Louis criteria on CMR images. The patients were followed up for a median of 4.8 years for the development of two composite endpoints: the first including cardiovascular death, cardiac arrest and/or ICD implantation; the second hospitalization for acute heart failure and/or recurrence of myocarditis.
Results
The clinical presentation was infart-like in the 78% of subjects; they all had a NYHA class I and had a pEF at basal echocardiogram. CMR showed myocardial edema in 50 patients (83%) and late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in 94% of subjects. LGE involved the inferolateral wall in the 70%, the interventricular septum in 25% and other walls in 5%. During follow up, the first composite endpoint occurred in the 8% of patients, while 7 subjects (11%) had a new hospitalization for cardiac causes (heart failure or recurrence of myocarditis). Those patients with events during follow up had a significantly higher LGE quantity (21±9,8 gr vs 12,8±6 gr; p=0.006 Figure 1) at basal CMR compared to the other group.
Conclusions
LGE quantification by CMR could represent a prognostic added tool at long-term follow up in patients presenting with acute myocarditis and left ventricular pEF.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Antibody-mediated rejection of the transplanted heart is still currently diagnosed by endomyocardial biopsy whereas clinical elements, anti-Human Leukocite Antigens (HLA) antibody and graft dysfunction represents supplementary components.
Purpose
The aim of the study was to identify though a non-invasive imaging technique, such as advanced transthoracic echocardiography, early signs of altered cardiac function in patients with anti-HLA antibodies and no histological signs of antibody-mediated rejection.
Methods
The study population included 117 heart transplanted patients, in whom both acute and chronic rejection was excluded. They were divided into two groups “HLA+`' (45 patients) and “HLA−” (72 patients), based on the presence and the absence of circulating anti-HLA antibodies, respectively. The echocardiographic exam was performed within one week from the biopsy, including Speckle Tracking analysis.
Results
Deceleration Time of E wave was the strongest traditional echocardiographic parameter which correlated with circulating anti-HLA antibodies (165±39,5 vs 196,5±25; p<0.001). Regarding strain analysis, both left ventricular global longitudinal strain (−16,1±3,4 vs −19,8±2,0; p<0.001) and right ventricular strain (−17,2±0,7 vs −20,6±0,5; p=0.0002) differed significantly between the two subgroups (Figure 1). On the other hand, neither peak atrial longitudinal strain nor peak atrial contraction strain showed a significant correlation with anti-HLA antibodies.
Conclusion
The presence of circulating anti-HLA antibodies seems to be correlated with a mild cardiac dysfunction, even in the absence of antibody-mediated rejection. This subtle dysfunction is not completely detectable by standard echocardiographic parameters, whereas strain analysis has showed promising results since it revealed more clearly an impaired function of both ventricles in heart transplanted HLA+ patients, with potentially important clinical repercussion.

Abstract
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is an obliterative and diffuse form of vasculopathy affecting almost 50% of patients after 10 years from heart transplant and represents the most common cause of long-term cardiovascular mortality among heart transplant recipients. The gold standard diagnostic technique is still invasive coronary angiography, which however holds potential for complications, especially contrast-related kidney injury and procedure-related vascular lesions. Non-invasive and contrast-sparing imaging techniques have been advocated and investigated over the past decades, in order to identify those that could replace coronary angiography or at least reach comparable accuracy in CAV detection. In addition, they could help the clinician in defining optimal timing for invasive testing. This review attempts to examine the currently available non-invasive imaging techniques that may be used in the follow-up of heart transplant patients, spanning from echocardiography to nuclear imaging, cardiac magnetic resonance and cardiac computed tomography angiography, weighting their advantages and disadvantages.

Abstract
Cardiogenic shock is a clinical syndrome which is defined as the presence of primary cardiac disorder that results in hypotension together with signs of organ hypoperfusion in the state of normovolaemia or hypervolaemia. It represents a complex life-threatening condition, characterized by a high mortality rate, that requires urgent diagnostic assessment as well as treatment; therefore, it is of paramount important to advocate for a thorough risk stratification. In fact, the early identification of patients that could benefit the most from more aggressive and invasive approaches could facilitate a more efficient resource allocation. This review attempts to critically analyse the current evidence on prognosis in cardiogenic shock, focusing in particular on clinical, laboratoristic and echocardiographic prognostic parameters. Furthermore, it focuses also on the available prognostic scores, highlighting the strengths and the possible pitfalls. Finally, it provides insights into future direction that could be followed in order to ameliorate risk stratification in this delicate subset of patients.

Introduction. The etiology of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in young people is still debated. The aim of this meta-analysis was to identify the most frequent causes of SCD in individuals aged ≤35 years, the differences between athletes and nonathletes and among geographic areas.
Methods. Studies published between 01/01/1990 and 01/31/2020 and evaluating post-mortem the etiology of SCD in young individuals (≤35 years) were included. Individuals were divided in athletes and nonathletes. Studies that did not report separately data between athletes and nonathletes were excluded.
Results. Thirty-four studies met the inclusion criteria and a total population of 5,060 victims of SCD were analysed (2,890 athletes, 2,170 nonathletes). Structurally normal heart, hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), idiopathic left ventricular hypertrophy, and anomalous origin of coronary arteries (AOCA) were the most frequent causes of SCD in athletes while coronary artery disease (CAD), arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathy (ACM), and channelopathies were frequent causes of SCD in nonathletes. The number of SCDs due to ischemic heart disease (19.6% vs. 9.1%, p = 0.009), ACM (11.5% vs. 4.7%, p = 0.03) and channelopathies (8.4% vs. 1.9%, p = 0.02) was higher in nonathletes comparing with athletes. SCD due to non-ischemic left ventricular scar (5.1% vs. 1.1%, p = 0.01) was more frequent in athletes. HCM (p = 0.01) and AOCA (p = 0.004) were more frequently cause of SCD in US while ACM (p = 0.001), structurally normal heart (p = 0.02), and channelopathies (p = 0.02) in Europe.
Conclusions. Structurally normal heart, HCM, AOCA were frequent causes of SCD in athletes while CAD, ACM and channelopathies in nonathletes. The causes of SCD differ between US and Europe.

Background. Premature ventricular beats (PVBs) are not an unusual finding and their interpretation is sometimes challenging. Unfortunately, few data on the characteristics of PVBs that correlate with the risk of an underlying heart disease are available in athletes.
Objectives. The aim of this prospective study was to investigate the diagnostic and prognostic value of PVBs characteristics in competitive athletes.
Methods. From a cohort of 1,751 athletes evaluated at our sports cardiology centre, we enrolled 112 competitive athletes <40 years of age (mean age 21 ± 10 years) and with no known heart disease referred for PVBs. All athletes underwent physical examination, ECG, 12-lead ambulatory ECG monitoring, exercise testing, and echocardiography. Further investigations including cardiac magnetic resonance were performed for abnormal findings at first-line evaluation or for specific PVBs characteristics.
Results. The majority (79%) of athletes exhibited monomorphic PVBs with a fascicular or infundibular pattern (common morphologies). A definitive diagnosis of cardiac disease was reached in 26 athletes (23% of the entire population) and correlated with uncommon PVBs morphology (p < 0.001) and arrhythmia complexity (p < 0.001). The number of PVBs/24-hour was lower in athletes with cardiac disease than in those with normal heart (p < 0.05). During the follow-up a spontaneous reduction of PVBs and no adverse events were observed.
Conclusions. Infundibular and fascicular PVBs were the most common morphologies observed in athletes with ventricular arrhythmias referred for cardiological evaluation. Morphology and complexity of PVBs, but not their number, predicted the probability of an underlying disease. Athletes with PVBs and negative investigation showed a good prognosis.

Background. Although structured exercise training is strongly recommended in cardiac patients, uncertainties exist about the methods for determining exercise intensity (EI) and their correspondence with effective EI obtained by ventilatory thresholds. We aimed to determine the first (VT1) and second ventilatory threshold (VT2) in cardiac patients, sedentary subjects and athletes comparing VT1 and VT2 with EI defined by recommendations.
Methods. We prospectively enrolled 350 subjects (mean age: 50.7 ± 12.9 years; 167 cardiac patients, 150 healthy sedentary subjects, 33 competitive endurance athletes). Each subject underwent ECG, echocardiography, and cardiopulmonary exercise testing. The percentages of peak VO2, peak heart rate (HR), and HR reserve were obtained at VT1 and VT2, and compared with EI definition proposed by the recommendations.
Results. VO2 at VT1 corresponded to high rather than moderate EI in 67.1% and in 79.6% of cardiac patients, applying the definition of moderate exercise by the previous recommendations and the 2020 guidelines, respectively. Most of cardiac patients had VO2 values at VT2 corresponding to very-high rather than high EI (59.9% and 50.3%, by previous recommendations and 2020 guidelines, respectively). A better correspondence between ventilatory-thresholds and recommended EI domains was observed in healthy subjects and in athletes (90% and 93.9%, respectively).
Conclusions. EI definition based on percentages of peak HR and peak VO2 may misclassify the effective EI and the discrepancy between the individually determined and the recommended EI is particularly relevant in cardiac patients. A ventilatory threshold-based rather than a range-based approach is advisable in order to define an appropriate level of EI.

Background
in chronic heart failure (HF), high cardiac pressure induces a progressive remodeling of small pulmonary arteries up to pulmonary hypertension development. At the end of left atrial (LA) conduit function, pulmonary and left heart end-systolic pressures equalize. This might affect LA systole.
Purpose
we investigated whether peak atrial contraction strain (PACS), measured by speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), was independently associated with outcome in HF with reduced ejection fraction(HFrEF).
Methods
168 outpatients with HFrEF and sinus-rhythm referred to our echo-labs were prospectively enrolled. After clinical and echocardiographic evaluation, off-line STE analysis was performed. The endpoints were cardiovascular (CV) death and HF hospitalization respectively. Spline knotted survival model identified the optimal cut-off value for PACS.
Results
The 152 included patients were stratified based on PACS < 8%(n = 76) or PACS≥8%(n = 76). Mean age was 61 ± 12, mean EF was 30 ± 9%. Characteristics of the two groups are presented in Table 1. Over a mean follow-up of 3.41 ± 1.9 years, 117 events (51 CV death, 66 HF hospitalizations) were collected. By univariate and multivariate Cox analysis, global PACS emerged as a strong and independent predictor of CV death and HF hospitalization, even after adjusting for age, sex, LV strain, E/e’, LA volume index (HR 0.6 per 5 unit decrease in PACS). Kaplan Meier curves showed a sustained divergence in event-free survival rates for the two groups (Fig.1).
Conclusions
The reduction of PACS significantly and independently affects CV outcome in HFrEF. Although limited to patients with sinus rhythm, it could offer additive prognostic information for HFrEF patients.

Background
in heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) the chronic increase of filling pressures progressively involves left atrium (LA), pulmonary circulation (PC) and right ventricle (RV), leading to worse outcome.
Purpose
we investigated the prognostic impact of either isolate LA impairment, RV dysfunction combined with pulmonary hypertension, or both, in HFrEF, using basic and advanced echocardiography.
Methods
106 outpatients with HFrEF were enrolled. Exclusion criteria were primary lung disease, non-sinus rhythm, previous cardiac surgery, poor acoustic window. Clinical examination and basic echocardiography were performed. Speckle tracking analysis was used to measure peak atrial longitudinal strain (PALS) and a new marker of interaction between RV and PC: absolute free wall RV longitudinal strain(fwRVLS)/systolic pulmonary artery pressure(sPAP). Patients were followed for all-cause or cardiovascular death and heart failure (HF) hospitalization.
Results
of 84 eligible patients [mean age: 60.1 ± 11.5; 82% male, mean left ventricular ejection fraction (LV EF) 28 ± 5%], 48 reached the combined endpoint. Population was divided into 3 groups: Group 1 [PALS≥15 and fwRVLS/sPAP ≤ 0.5]; Group 2 [PALS ≤ 15 and fwRVLS/sPAP ≤ 0.5 or PALS≥15 and fwRVLS/sPAP≥0.5]; Group 3 [PALS ≤ 15 and fwRVLS/sPAP≥0.5]. Mean follow-up was 3.5 ± 0.3years. The increasing severity groups were associated with higher LA volume index (LAVI), New York Heart Association (NYHA) class, mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) grades, lower LV EF, LV global longitudinal strain (GLS), PALS, tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion (TAPSE), sPAP, fwRVLS and global RVLS(p < 0.0001). Reduced PALS and fwRVLS/sPAP were independent predictors of NYHA > 2 at univariate and multivariate analysis adjusted for age, sex, LV EF, and of any events with adjusted Cox models (Table 1). Kaplan-Meier curves showed a clear divergence between the groups for the prediction of the combined endpoint (Fig.1), cardiovascular death and HF hospitalization.
Conclusions
the combination of LA and RV damage could represent the transition point to end-stage HF, with considerably worse prognosis. Its assessment with PALS and fwRVLS/sPAP could help risk stratification of HFrEF patients in order to provide early treatment.

Abstract
Cardiac allograft vasculopathy (CAV) is an obliterative and diffuse type of coronaropathy that develops in the transplanted human heart, representing a major cause of graft failure and mortality. Nowadays the gold standard for the diagnosis of CAV is coronary angiography (CA). Non-invasive CAV detection, especially in the early stages of the disease, is still challenging. Our study aimed to investigate the role of speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), in particular three-layer STE, in predicting CAV at early stages, and if other traditional echocardiographic, clinical or biochemical parameters could relate to CAV. The study population was composed of a total of 33 heart transplanted patients, divided accordingly to the presence or absence of CAV (12 CAV+ , 22 CAV-). All subjects underwent a complete transthoracic echocardiographic examination on the same day of the CA, and all conventional parameters of myocardial function were obtained, including strain values assessed by STE. Strain values were significantly reduced in presence of CAV, at each myocardial layer but in particular the endocardial-epicardial gradient (- 4.15 ± 1.6 vs - 1.7 ± 0.4% < .0001) that was also highly predictive of CAV (AUC at ROC curve 0.97). Among diastolic parameters, the E wave deceleration time (DT) and the mean E/e' ratio were strongly positively associated with CAV. In our population, left ventricular global longitudinal strain (GLS), layer-specific GLS and the endocardial-epicardial LS gradient, E wave DT and E/e' ratio were the best independent non-invasive predictors of CAV.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Antibody-mediated rejection of the transplated heart is essentially diagnosed through endomyocardial biopsy whereas clinical elements, anti- Human Leukocite Antigens (HLA) antibody and graft dysfunction are supplementary components. Over the years, several studies have tried to define early diagnostic markers, but to date a univocal consensus has not been achieved.
Purpose
The aim of the study was to identify though a non-invasive technique, such as transthoracic echocardiography, early signs of impaired cardiac function in heart transplanted patients, in presence of anti-HLA antibodies but without any histological sign of antibody-mediated rejection, assessed through endomyocardial biopsy.
Methods
In the study 29 heart transplanted patients were enrolled, and they were divided into two groups ‘HLA+’ (15 patients) and ‘HLA-’ (14 patients), based on the presence and the absence of circulating anti-HLA antibodies, respectively. None of the patients had evidence of either coronary allograft vasculopathy or antibody-mediated rejection, attested by endomyocardial biopsy. Each patient underwent through echocardiographic exam, within one month from the biopsy, analysing standard parameters of both systolic and diastolic function, together with strain analysis of right and left ventricle (RV and LV) and left atrium (LA).
Results
Clinical and demographic characteristics did not different significantly between the two groups, and neither did standard echocardiographic parameters. The only significant parameter that show a statistically significant different was Deceleration Time of E wave (DecT E), which resulted to be lower in the ‘HLA+’ group. Regarding strain analysis, peak atrial longitudinal strain was significantly different between HLA+ and HLA- patients (10,9 ± 5,6 vs 14,9 ± 4,5; p < 0.005), whereas peak atrial contraction strain did not. The study attested a strong difference of both LV global longitudinal strain (- 20,2 ± 5,9 vs - 23,2 ± 3,3; p < 0.005) and RV strain between the two analysed subsets (-16,9 ± 3,4 vs -19,3 ± 3,1 p < 0.005). The figure shows the most significant correlations found in the study, respectively RV strain (on the left), LV strain (in the middle) and DecT E (on the right), the figures on top are representative of HLA- patients, whereas the ones at the bottom are representative of HLA+ patients.
Conclusion
The presence of circulating anti-HLA antibodies seems to be correlated with a mild cardiac dysfunction, even in the absence of antibody-mediated rejection. This subtle dysfunction is not completely detectable by standard echocardiographic parameters, whereas strain analysis has showed promising results since it revealed more clearly an impaired function of both ventricles in heart transplanted HLA+ patients, with potentially important clinical repercussion.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Exercise-induced enlargement of cardiac chambers is commonly observed in competitive athletes. However, ventricular dilatation is also a common phenotypic expression of life-threatening cardiomyopathies. The use of cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) for the exclusion of pathology is growing. However, normal reference values have not been established for athletes. The aim of this meta-analysis was to derive normal reference values of biventricular size and function estimated by CMR in competitive athletes.
Methods
We conducted a systematic review of English-language studies in the MEDLINE, Scopus, and Cochrane databases investigating biventricular size and function by CMR in athletes. Athletes were divided into endurance, combined, and mixed groups according to the sport practiced. The potential impact of training volume was also evaluated.
Results
Twenty-seven studies and 983 competitive athletes were included for CMR quantification of biventricular size and function. In this review, normal reference values are presented for biventricular size and function to be applied to male competitive athletes according to the disciplines practiced. A significant impact of training volume was demonstrated for the right ventricle: athletes practicing the largest number of training hours per week were those exhibiting the greatest degree of right ventricular remodeling (Figure 1). Notably, biventricular function was not significantly affected by training volume.
Figure 1
Conclusions
The present meta-analysis defines the normal limits of biventricular size and function estimated by CMR in competitive athletes. The authors suggest using these normal reference values as an alternative to standard upper limits derived from the general population when interpreting CMR images in athletes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Prognosis of patients with acute heart failure (AHF) and different etiologies remains a challenging issue for the Cardiologist.
Purpose
We aimed to evaluate clinical and echocardiographic indexes and blood tests values of patients admitted to Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for AHF to test their capability to predict events at short-, medium- and long-term follow-up.
Methods
We retrospectively enrolled 830 patients who entered the ICU of our third-level hospital between 2010 and 2013 for AHF. Exclusion criteria included: active malignances, heart transplantation, patients with left ventricular assist device. We evaluated in each subject: cause of admission, medical history, chest congestion severity at admission, blood tests, echocardiographic parameters and administered drugs during in-hospital stay. Primary endpoints included: mortality rate at 30 days, 6 months and 5 years after dismission, days of ICU stay and cardiology ward stay. Indexes with statistical significance at univariate analysis, were then tested by multivariate analysis.
Results
The study population (average age 72.2±13 y) had an ejection fraction (EF) 36±12% at ICU admission. Best predictors of prognosis in the populations, after multivariate analysis, resulted to be: renal failure, EF, age, mitral regurgitation (MR) more than mild, use of non-invasive ventilation support during ICU stay, previous stroke or transient ischemic attack (TIA). With these indexes, we created a multi-parametric prognostic score composed by: 0.7*[age >76 years] + 1.4*[plasmatic creatinine >2mg/dl] + 0.8*[non-invasive mechanical ventilation] + 0.9*[previous stroke/TIA] + 0.8*[EF <30%] + + 0.7*[previous hospitalization for AHF] + 0.5*[moderate/severe MR]. According to the score, we stratified the population in 3 tertiles with increasing mortality risk: low if <1.5, medium if 1.5–3, high risk if >3 (Figure 1). At ROC curve analysis, the score showed a greater prognostic accuracy than each parameter (30 days AUC 0.75, 6 months AUC 0.78, 5 years AUC 0.79).
Figure 1
Conclusions
A combined clinical, humoral and echocardiographic score could represent a new tool in the prognostication of patients with AHF since the admission in ICU.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute Heart Failure (AHF) is a life-threatening condition with high mortality rate.
Purpose
The aim of our study was to identify the best predictors of in-hospital mortality and stay, among laboratory blood tests, clinic and echocardiographic (standard and by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography, STE) parameters in patients admitted to our Intensive Care Unit (ICU) for AHF.
Methods
We enrolled 57 patients (age 70±13 y, 70% man) admitted to our ICU with de novo AHF or acute decompensation of Chronic Heart Failure (CHF). Exclusion criteria were: active malignancies, chronic liver disease, absent acoustic echocardiographic window and patient refusal. At ICU admission, all patients were assessed with vital signs (heart rate, HR; systolic blood pressure, SBP), blood laboratory tests, standard echo and STE of left ventricle (LV), right ventricle (RV) and left atrium (LA). These indexes were then related to the length of stay and mortality.
Results
The population was finally composed of 52 patients, due to 5 in-hospital deaths. 56% had an ischemic aetiology, 26% idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy, 11% valvular diseases, 7% other causes of HF. At admission, average HR was 78±16 bpm, SBP 119±24 mmHg and EF 33±13%. Among all the parameters, the ones that showed significant statistical correlation with the length of hospitalization (15,34±7.03 days) were plasmatic creatinine, SBP, Systolic Pulmonary Artery Pressure, high LV filling pressure (E/E' >12) and Peak Atrial Longitudinal Strain (PALS). The maximal dose of intravenous loop diuretics and inotropic drugs also showed a good correlation. Analysing the two sub-populations with mortality data, we observed that patients who died, had a significantly lower EF (19±9.62% vs 35±12.55%; p=0,01), but not a higher left atrial volume indexed (31.04±14.87 vs 26.36±12.03 ml/m2; p= ns) compared to the survivors; instead PALS was significant worse (10.08±4.62 vs 20.64±13,35%; p<001). Free wall RV Longitudinal Strain (fw-RVLS) values for the patients who died (−9.41±4.66%) were significantly lower than in survivors (−13.67±6.02%; p<0.01). LVGLS (Left Ventricular Global Longitudinal Strain) did not show statistical significant differences between the two populations. Based on the results of ROC analysis (Figure 1), we created a score to predict in-hospital mortality, composed of: EF, PALS and RVLS-free wall. The ideal cut point to predict mortality was >1.5.

Conclusions
AHF represents one of the major challenges in ICU. The use of a combined echocardiographic score, assessed at admission, could help to better predict mortality risk, in addition to commonly used indexes.

Abstract
Burned bodies raise relevant issues for forensic patologist and odontologist both for the identification and the cause of death and possible vital burning.. The tongue protrusion is regularly investigated for the death caused by strangulation or hanging, whilst seems to be overlooked in case of charred remains as the significance of this sign is still discussed. Different mechanims are hypothized in literature to explain the toungue protrusion both for vital and non-vital burning. This paper retrospectively evaluates some cases of carbonized corpses examined at the Forensic Pathology service of the University of Florence. The tongue protrusion shows a high occurrence both in vital (100%) and non-vital fires (66%). The involvement of a forensic odontologist in the cadaver examination result to be limited to one third of the cases. In two non-vital cases the tongue was described as protruded and clenched between the dental arches. The rigor of the genioglossus induced by the heat could explain the phenomenon. Further research on fire fatalities is required to analyze the tongue bleeding as a possible parameter to discriminate the vital by the non-vital tongue protrusion. Moreover, the mechanism at the origin of vital and non-vital tongue protrusion, the different position of the tongue (protruded from an open mouth, protruded and clenched between the dental arches, etc.) in different death circumstances, should be furtherly investigated with a meaningful collaboration between forensic pathologists and odontologists for a complete registration and interpretation of all the mouth originated evidence.

Abstract
The migrants arrived to the Italian coasts in 2016 were 181.436, 18% more than the previous year and 6% more than the highest number ever since. An "unaccompanied minor" (UAM) is a third-country national or a stateless person under eighteen years of age, who arrives on the territory of the Member State unaccompanied by an adult responsible for him/her whether by law or by the practice of the Member State concerned, and for as long as he or she is not effectively taken into the care of such a person; it includes a minor who is left unaccompanied after he/she entered the territory of the Member States. As many as 95.985 UAMs applied for international protection in an EU member country just in 2015, almost four times the number registered in the previous year. The UAMs arrived in Italy were 28.283 in 2016; 94% of them were males, 92% unaccompanied, 8% of them under 15; the 53,6% is 17; the individuals between 16 and 17 are instead the 82%. Many of them (50%), 6561 in 2016, escaped from the sanctuaries, thus avoiding to be formally identified and registered in Italy in the attempt to reach more easily northern Europe countries, since The Dublin Regulations (2003) state that the asylum application should be held in the EU country of entrance or where parents reside. The age assessment procedures can therefore be considered as a relevant task that weighs in on the shoulders of the forensic experts with all the related issues and the coming of age is the important threshold. In the EU laws on asylum, the minors are considered as one of the groups of vulnerable persons towards whom Member States have specific obligations. A proper EU common formal regulation in the matter of age estimation procedures still lacks. According to the Italian legal framework in the matter, a medical examination should have been always performed but a new law completely changed the approach to the procedures of age estimation of the migrant (excluding the criminal cases) with a better adherence to the notions and concepts of vulnerability and psychological and social maturity.

Abstract
The migratory flows to Europe from the African countries, Asia and Middle East, have hugely intensified in the recent years. In 2016, more than 98,000 out of a total of 260,000 migrants across the Mediterranean Sea arrived in Italy and in May 2017, the trend of arrivals is: Italy +576%; Greece -39% compared to previous years. Some migrants die before touching the sole of the European continent, during the crossing, often afforded with ships, made available by unscrupulous smugglers or criminal organizations, which are unsuitable for this type of transportation. The tremendous occurrence of migrant casualties during the Mediterranean Sea crossing remains underestimated and nobody, country officers or databank, can provide a reliable number of dead bodies in such a large and now, endemic phenomenon. Forensic officers, who intervened to examine migrants' corpses, are ideally required to perform the usual activity and to answer the routine questions about the causes of death by detecting signs of possible crimes and body identification. In practice, several specific issues and limits challenge the activity of the forensic professionals addressed to ascertain both circumstances of death and possible related crimes and the identity of the corpses. Generally speaking, in case of examining up to a few dead bodies in Italy, a complete autopsy is performed, whilst, when several tens or hundreds of corpses are recovered, the lack of resources on one hand and clearer clues on incident, connected crimes, and cause of deaths on the other, push the public prosecutor to limit the request of complete autopsies. In some cases, the dead migrants were identified through visual recognition by relatives, friends, or travel companions. The DVI Interpol protocol is never completely applied to dead migrants for several reasons, mainly for the huge difficulties in retrieving AM data of the missing persons and for some limitations affecting both the primary and the secondary identifiers. The few chances of identification by dental data are further reduced by the systematic lack of an odontologist among the forensic teams charged of the PM; valuable dental data for body identification or for constructing the biological profile of the missing person (age, ancestry, country of provenance/residence, etc.) are likely to be overlooked. This approach implies a clear disparity with the approach applied when corpses of citizens of the EU or other developed countries are involved and undergo identification. The dead migrants' identification activity should be reconsidered for an improvement in the common international effort in accordance to an approach more respectful toward the legal rights and dignity of the dead migrants and their families.

Abstract
The article presents a case of multiple casualties following a textile factory fire. The incident required a full DVI team similar to large mass-disaster because of the specific operational aspects and identification difficulties. The autopsy results were consistent with death by fire and the toxicological investigations revealed carbon monoxide poisoning in four cases (HbCO% ranging between 88,05 and 95,77), two deaths by cyanide intoxication (with concentrations between 5,17 and 8,85 mcg/ml), and in one case there was a synergistic effect of the two substances (carbon monoxide and cyanide). The identification, carried out in accordance with INTERPOL protocols, encountered serious difficulties in the AM phase primarily due to a language barrier and the lack of any dental or medical information relating to the victims. Secondary identifiers proved to be very useful in corroborating possible identities. As a result of the combined efforts of a team of experts the identity of each victim was determined and in all cases at least one primary identifier was used in the identification process. The deployment of DVI teams composed of forensic experts from different fields of expertise and well acquainted with DVI procedures, is essential in events involving multiple casualties that may also include foreign victims. The DVI team should intervene not only in PM examinations but also in the collection of AM data for those individuals not accounted for and by helping police in contacting families of missing people.

Abstract
Starting from an international overview of the current status of screening programs, the present paper focuses on the legal situation in Italy and the great differences among Italian regions. Since the introduction of tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS) in the 90s the paradigm one spot-one disease changed. Only recently, some regions issued legislative acts to promote expanded newborn screening with MS/MS. This approach raises medico-legal and ethical issues because a fast neonatal diagnosis of an inborn error of metabolism (IEM) could increase chances of an early treatment and reduce disabilities, therefore citizens ought to have the same access to care countrywide. Enacting a mandatory standard for a disease screening panel using MS/MS and a few centers specialized in diagnosis, treatment and follow-up of patients affected by IEM (inborn errors of metabolism) can reduce legal and ethical issues.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Recent studies have challenged the dogma that the adult heart is a postmitotic organ and raise the possibility of the existence of resident cardiac stem cells (CSCs). Our study aimed to explore if these CSCs are present in the "ventricular tip" obtained during left ventricular assist device (LVAD) implantation from patients with end-stage heart failure (HF) and the relationship with LV dysfunctional area extent. METHODS Four consecutive patients with ischemic cardiomyopathy and end-stage HF submitted to LVAD implantation were studied. The explanted "ventricular tip" was used as a sample of apical myocardial tissue for the pathological examination. Patients underwent clinical and echocardiographic examination, both standard transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and speckle tracking echocardiography (STE), before LVAD implantation. RESULTS All patients presented severe apical dysfunction, with apical akinesis/diskinesis and very low levels of apical longitudinal strain (-3.5 ± 2.9%). Despite this, the presence of CSCs was demonstrated in pathological myocardial samples of "ventricular tip" in all 4 of the patients. It was found to be a mean of 6 c-kit cells in 10 fields magnification 40×. CONCLUSIONS Cardiac stem cells can be identified in the LV apical segment of patients who have undergone LVAD implantation despite LV apical fibrosis.
