We report the case of a 75-year-old man, referred for worsening dyspnea and fever. The electrocardiography (ECG) showed mild ST-elevation in anterior leads, while cardiac echography severe left ventricular (LV) systolic dysfunction with apical ballooning. Later on, ECG showed negative T-waves and QT-prolongation in the same anterior leads and T-waves positivization during fever peak. Ten days later, LV ejection fraction completely recovered, apical ballooning and fever disappeared. We, therefore, hypothesize that transient apical ballooning found in our patient may have been induced by a respiratory infection, not detectable at seriate blood cultures.

Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) may be useful in identifying subjects at higher risk among patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). The clinical role of new developed TDI parameters, however, still needs to be documented.

Tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) is used to improve risk stratification in patients with chronic heart failure (CHF). So far, few studies have used this method to investigate the characteristics of subjects with CHF and Cheyne–Stokes breathing (CSB). The aim of this study was therefore to evaluate whether TDI assessment may predict the presence of CSB in patients with CHF.

BACKGROUND The study aimed to report the results from an all-comers registry of patients undergoing coronary angioplasty and treated with bioresorbable vascular scaffold (BVS). METHODS Fifty-five consecutive patients with type B/C coronary lesions according to the AHA classification and treated with BVS were enrolled in the study. The clinical and procedural characteristics of enrolled patients were recorded. Fifty-five consecutive subjects with coronary lesions type B/C treated with everolimus eluting stent (EES) were used as control group. RESULTS The incidence of adverse events was not statistically significant comparing subjects treated with BVS with those treated with EES. Non significant differences were also found in the follow-up considering the presence of diabetes, multivessel disease, use of more than one stent at the same time, diagnosis (STEMI vs UA/NSTEMI), use of coronary stents in overlapping. The differences were significant considering the type of lesion (Log-Rank p<0.05), stenoses treated in correspondence of a coronary bifurcation (p<0.05), the SYNTAX score (cut off 22) (p<0.001); after multivariable correction for age and gender, however, differences remained significant only for SYNTAX score. CONCLUSIONS The use of BVS in an all-comers registry of patients undergoing coronary angioplasty on complex coronary lesions is associated with a safety profile comparable to that obtained with EES; the use of BVS in particular conditions, such as very high SYNTAX score, should be further assessed.
