Abstract Background Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is asymptomatic in 20–30% of cases. New technologic tools for continuous ECG monitoring have been developed to detect and potentially treat AF specific population with high cardiovascular risk. Purpose We aimed evaluate the prevalence management diagnosed patients no previous documented but a risk clinical palpitation undergoing systematic 14-day ECG...

Abstract Background Community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) is the commonest lower respiratory tract infection, often complicated by cardiovascular events and cardiac arrythmias, such as new-onset Atrial Fibrillation (noAF). NoAF, a new or first detactable episode of chaotic irregular atrial rhythm, has been associated with increased mortality in CAP patients, especially critically-ill ones. However...

Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Background/Introduction Sudden cardiac death (SCD) is a major issue in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) management, and its risk prediction stays challenging for clinicians. Ventricular arrythmias (VAs) have to be treated rapidly, indeed VAs lower prognosis HCM patients. Current ESC guidelines cardioverter-defibrillator implantat...

Abstract Introduction Recent published ESC guidelines on non-cardiac surgery suggest the use of imaging stress test in patients with poor functional capacity and high likelihood coronary artery disease or clinical risk (class I, level B), while computed tomography has lower evidence IIa, B). Witch best performance contest pre-operative assessment is a matter debate. Aim The aim our single centr...

The anti-malarial hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) is a common treatment for cicatricial alopecias (CA). Serious adverse events include prolonged QT interval, ventricular arrythmias and irreversible retinopathy. There limited literature on the incidence of in CA patients taking HCQ. A retrospective analysis was performed 60 patients, mean age years, prescribed Alopecia diagnoses included lichen planopi...

Aims Patients under the Joint Homelessness Team (JHT) in Westminster have poor health outcomes as they face double-hit of serious mental illness (SMI) and homelessness. Many patients are on depot antipsychotic medication to manage their SMI. Depot antipsychotics associated with increased risk arrythmias guidance advises annual electrocardiogram (ECG) monitoring for all (Maudsley: Prescribing Gu...

Abstract Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is characterized by increased left ventricular (LV) stiffness, leading to raised filling pressures and restrictive diastolic dysfunction (RDD), in itself independently associated with an risk of a clinical deterioration. We assessed whether echocardiography evaluation function HCM could yield prognostic value be useful stratification. Method...

Abstract Background Allogeneic and autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) are potential curative treatments for several hematological malignancies (1). Survival after HSCT has improved over the last decade, but survivors remain at risk health issues transplantation. Cardiovascular complications increasingly recognized (2). diseases may be an important cause of mortality morbi...

Abstract Introduction Cardiac arrest secondary to a spontaneous coronary artery dissection (SCAD) represents challenging scenario. It deserves specific considerations due the dramatic presentation and need for sudden cardiac death prevention. Methods We collected clinical data of four women admitted during last two years in Coronary Care Unit Parma University Hospital, whose SCAD were ventricul...
