Sbrana S, Cecchettini A, Bastiani L, Mazzone A, Vozzi F, Caselli C, Neglia D, Clemente A, Scholte AJHA, Parodi O, Pelosi G, Rocchiccioli S
Background and aims: Coronary atherosclerosis is a chronic non-resolving inflammatory process wherein the interaction of innate immune cells and platelets plays a major role. Circulating neutrophils, in particular, adhere to the activated endothelium and migrate into the vascular wall, promoting monocyte recruitment and influencing plaque phenotype and stability at all stages of its evolution. We aimed to evaluate, by flow cytometry, if blood neutrophil number and phenotype-including their pheno...

Feature-tracking computed tomography left atrial strain and long-term survival after transcatheter aortic valve implantation.
Hirasawa K, Singh GK, Kuneman JH, Gegenava T, van der Kley F, Hautemann D, Reiber JHC, Ajmone Marsan N, Bax JJ, Delgado V
Aims: Aortic stenosis (AS) induces left atrial (LA) remodelling through the increase of left ventricular (LV) filling pressures. Peak LA longitudinal strain (PALS), reflecting LA reservoir function, has been proposed as a prognostic marker in patients with AS. Feature-tracking (FT) multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) allows assessment of LA strain from MDCT data. The aim of this study is to investigate the association between PALS using FT MDCT and survival in patients with severe AS who u...
