Case report: Transected Hickman catheter and its thrombotic occlusion in a patient with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension—can a catheter replacement be avoided? Open
A 25-year-old female with idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH), who had a Hickman catheter implanted for continuous intravenous epoprostenol infusion, was admitted to the clinic after inadvertently cutting the catheter with nai…

Application of Novel Technologies in Cardiac Electrotherapy to Prevent Complications Open
(1) Background: Cardiac electrotherapy is developing quickly, which implies that it will face a higher number of complications, with cardiac device-related infective endocarditis (CDRIE) being the most frequent, but not the only one. (2) M…

Long COVID-19 Myocarditis and Various Heart Failure Presentations: A Case Series Open
(1) Background: Emerging data indicate that the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic may result in long-term cardiovascular complications, among which long COVID-19 myocarditis seems to be one of the most dangerous. Clinical presentation of cardiac i…

Exercise-Induced Atrial Remodeling in Female Amateur Marathon Runners Assessed by Three-Dimensional and Speckle Tracking Echocardiography Open
Endurance athletes have an increased risk of atrial remodeling and atrial arrhythmias. However, data regarding atrial adaptation to physical exercise in non-elite athletes are limited. Even less is known about atrial performance in women. …

Post-marathon Decline in Right Ventricular Radial Motion Component Among Amateur Sportsmen Open
Moderate physical activity has a positive impact on health, although extreme forms of sport such as marathon running may trigger exercise-induced cardiac fatigue. The explicit distinction between the right ventricular (RV) physiological re…

Post-marathon decline in right ventricular radial motion component among amateur sportsmen Open
Introduction Running the marathon may be followed by post-exercise “cardiac fatigue” manifesting as transient right ventricular (RV) systolic and diastolic impairment. It is the thin-walled RV that is predominantly affected by the exercise…

Exercise-induced changes of ventricular function in male and female amateur marathon runners as assessed by three-dimensional echocardiography Open
Introduction The long-term endurance training is associated with an increased risk of both right (RV) and left ventricular (LV) dysfunction. However, males and females exhibit different cardiac adaptation to exercise. The aim of our study …

Unusual echocardiographic evidence of hypercoagulation in usual left atrial appendage as the first and only sign of COVID-19 Open
Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a condition caused by a novel virus, severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). The disease's course ranges from entirely asymptomatic to severely ill patients. Hypercoagulation is …

Right Ventricular Diastolic Dysfunction after Marathon Run Open
It has been raised that marathon running may significantly impair cardiac performance. However, the post-race diastolic function has not been extensively analyzed. We aimed to assess whether the marathon run causes impairment of the cardia…
