Screening of cardiac allograft vasculopathy in heart transplant patients with coronary computed tomography angiography
Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2024 Feb 12. doi: 10.4081/monaldi.2024.2890. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTAlthough coronary angiography (CA) is the gold standard for coronary allograft vasculopathy (CAV) screening, non-invasive modalities have arisen as potential alternatives, such as coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). CCTA also quantifies plaque burden, which may influence medical treatment. From January 2021 to April 2022, we prospectively included heart transplant recipients who performed CCTA as a first-line method for CAV detection in a single center. Clinical, CCTA, and CA data were collected. 38 patients were...

Assessing cardiac resynchronization therapy response in heart failure patients: a comparative analysis of efficacy and outcomes between transvenous and epicardial leads
Monaldi Arch Chest Dis. 2024 Feb 7. doi: 10.4081/monaldi.2024.2845. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTCardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is an effective treatment for selected heart failure (HF) patients. Although transvenous implantation is the standard method, it is not feasible in some patients, so the epicardial lead emerges as an alternative. We aim to compare CRT response, procedure-related complications, and the occurrence of clinical outcomes between patients with transvenous and epicardial leads. In a single-center retrospective study, we enrolled consecutive HF patients submitted to CRT implantation with a defib...
