Overcoming Diagnostic Challenges in Constrictive Pericarditis: Why Volume Is Im...
Teixeira, Bárbara Lacerda; Albuquerque, Francisco; Cardoso, Isabel; Ferreira, Vera; Fiarresga, António; Cardoso, Filipe; Galrinho, AnaA 65-year-old male with chronic liver disease and refractory ascites was being evaluated for liver transplant, when constrictive pericarditis (CP) was suspected. Initial diagnostics were inconclusive due to overdiuresis. After suspension of diuretics, cardiac magnetic resonance confirmed CP, leading to successful pericardiectomy and normalization of liver function, emphasizing volume status and multimodality im...
Myocardial work is associated with significant left ventricular myocardial fibr...
Gonçalves, António Valentim; Rosa, Sílvia Aguiar; Branco, Luísa; Galrinho, Ana; Fiarresga, António; Lopes, Luis; Thomas, Boban; Baquero, LuísLate gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance adds prognostic information in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Whether Myocardial work, a new parameter on transthoracic echocardiographic, can be associated with significant fibrosis in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients is unknown. In a single-centre prospective evaluation of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy patients in whom transthoracic echoc...
EMBOLIZATION OF PERCUTANEOUS LEFT ATRIAL APPENDAGE OCCLUSION DEVICE: RESCUE SUR...
Silva, Manuela; Banazol, Nuno; Fiarresga, António; Fragata, José59-year-old women with permanent atrial fibrillation and previous haemorrhagic stroke was admitted for percutaneous left atrial appendage occlusion. Shortly after, AmplatzerTM device migration into the left ventricular outflow tract was confirmed. Unsuccessful transcatheter mobilization led to an emergent surgery for device retrieval and LAA closure. No events at 6-month follow-up.
