Abstract

BACKGROUND The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has adversely affected diagnosis and treatment of noncommunicable diseases. Its effects on delivery of diagnostic care for cardiovascular disease, which remains the leading cause of death worldwide, have not been quantified. OBJECTIVES The study sought to assess COVID-19`s impact on global cardiovascular diagnostic procedural volumes and safety practices. METHODS The International Atomic Energy Agency conducted a worldwide survey assessing alterations in cardiovascular procedure volumes and safety practices resulting from COVID-19. Noninvasive and invasive cardiac testing volumes were obtained from participating sites for March and April 2020 and compared with those from March 2019. Availability of personal protective equipment and pandemic-related testing practice changes were ascertained. RESULTS Surveys were submitted from 909 inpatient and outpatient centers performing cardiac diagnostic procedures, in 108 countries. Procedure volumes decreased 42% from March 2019 to March 2020, and 64% from March 2019 to April 2020. Transthoradc echocardiography decreased by 59%, transesophageat echocardiography 76%, and stress tests 78%, which varied between stress modalities. Coronary angiography (invasive or computed tomography) decreased 55% (p < 0.001 for each procedure). hi multivariable regression, significantly greater reduction in procedures occurred for centers in countries with lower gross domestic product. Location in a low-income and lower-middle-income country was associated with an additional 22% reduction in cardiac procedures and less availability of personal protective equipment and teteheatth. CONCLUSIONS COVID-19 was associated with a significant and abrupt reduction in cardiovascular diagnostic testing across the globe, especially affecting the world's economically challenged. Further study of cardiovascular outcomes and COVID-19-related changes in care delivery is warranted. (C) 2021 The Authors.

Abstract

Patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) can present with various clinical manifestations including syncope. The mechanism of syncope in PE is not fully elucidated and data of right ventricular (RV) function in patients has been limited. We retrospectively identified 477 consecutive patients hospitalized with acute PE diagnosed with a computed tomogram (CT) who also had a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) 24 h prior to or 48 h after diagnosis. Parameters of RV strain on CT, TTE, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical characteristics and adverse outcomes were collected. Patients with all three studies available for assessment were included (n = 369) and those with syncope (n = 34) were compared to patients without syncope (n = 335). Patients with syncope were more likely to demonstrate RV strain on all three modes of assessment compared to those without syncope [17 (50%) vs. 67 (20%); p = 0.001], and those patients were more likely to receive advanced therapies [9 (53%) vs. 15 (22%); p = 0.02]. PE-related mortality was highest among those presenting with high-risk PE and syncope (36%, OR 20.1, 95% CI 5.3–81.1; p

Abstract

Background: In early 2020, COVID-19 massively hit Italy, earlier and harder than any other European country. This caused a series of strict containment measures, aimed at blocking the spread of the pandemic. Healthcare delivery was also affected when resources were diverted towards care of COVID-19 patients, including intensive care wards. Aim of the study: The aim is assessing the impact of COVID-19 on cardiac imaging in Italy, compare to the Rest of Europe (RoE) and the World (RoW). Methods: A global survey was conducted in May–June 2020 worldwide, through a questionnaire distributed online. The survey covered three periods: March and April 2020, and March 2019. Data from 52 Italian centres, a subset of the 909 participating centres from 108 countries, were analyzed. Results: In Italy, volumes decreased by 67% in March 2020, compared to March 2019, as opposed to a significantly lower decrease (p < 0.001) in RoE and RoW (41% and 40%, respectively). A further decrease from March 2020 to April 2020 summed up to 76% for the North, 77% for the Centre and 86% for the South. When compared to the RoE and RoW, this further decrease from March 2020 to April 2020 in Italy was significantly less (p = 0.005), most likely reflecting the earlier effects of the containment measures in Italy, taken earlier than anywhere else in the West. Conclusions: The COVID-19 pandemic massively hit Italy and caused a disruption of healthcare services, including cardiac imaging studies. This raises concern about the medium- and long-term consequences for the high number of patients who were denied timely diagnoses and the subsequent lifesaving therapies and procedures.

Abstract

Background Generalized lymphatic anomaly previously known as diffuse systemic lymphangiomatosis is a rare multisystem congenital disease arising from the lymphatic system, and it is characterized by abnormal proliferation of the lymphatic channels in osseous and extraosseous tissues. It typically affects children or young adults. Although it is benign, it can be misdiagnosed as malignancy because of its diffuse and debilitating nature depending on the site of involvement. Due to its rarity, diagnosis is often delayed, leading to potential significant morbidity or mortality if vital organs are involved. Furthermore, its potential for multiorgan involvement with no curative treatment makes its management challenging. Case presentation We describe a case of a 35-year-old Caucasian female, who presented with epigastric pain and was subsequently extensively investigated at multiple tertiary centers by numerous specialists for query malignancy and metabolic bone disorder following incidental computed tomography imaging findings of multiple osteolytic lesions in the axial skeleton, and low-attenuating lesions in the axilla, spleen, and mediastinum. The diagnosis was confirmed with an axillary excisional biopsy. She was clinically stable with no end organ damage. She was monitored conservatively. Conclusions The case illustrates the importance of increased awareness among clinicians for this rare congenital disease to enable earlier diagnosis and to avoid unnecessary invasive investigations. Furthermore, this case highlights the potential need for multiple biopsies of affected sites to confirm diagnosis. We also discuss the emergence of interferon therapy, chemotherapy, immunosuppression, and immunotherapy as medical management for this condition.

Abstract

To evaluate the relation of coronary artery calcifications (CAC) on non-ECG-gated CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) with short-term mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE).We retrospectively included all in-patients between May 2007 and December 2014 with an ICD-9 code for acute PE and CTPA and transthoracic echocardiography available. CAC was qualitatively graded as absent, mild, moderate, or severe. Relations of CAC with overall and PE-related 30-day mortality were assessed using logistic regression analyses. The independence of those relations was assessed using a nested approach, first adjusting for age and gender, then for RV strain, peak troponin T, and cardiovascular risk factors for an overall model.Four hundred seventy-nine patients were included (63 ± 16 years, 52.8% women, 47.2% men). In total, 253 (52.8%) had CAC-mild: 143 (29.9%); moderate: 89 (18.6%); severe: 21 (4.4%). Overall mortality was 8.8% (n = 42) with higher mortality with any CAC (12.6% vs. 4.4% without; odds ratio [OR] 3.1 [95%CI 2.1-14.5]; p = 0.002). Mortality with severe (19.0%; OR 5.1 [95%CI 1.4-17.9]; p = 0.011), moderate (11.2%; OR 2.7 [95%CI 1.1-6.8]; p = 0.031), and mild CAC (12.6%; OR 3.1 [95%CI 1.4-6.9]; p = 0.006) was higher than without. OR adjusted for age and gender was 2.7 (95%CI 1.0-7.1; p = 0.050) and 2.6 (95%CI 0.9-7.1; p = 0.069) for the overall model. PE-related mortality was 4.0% (n = 19) with higher mortality with any CAC (5.9% vs. 1.8% without; OR 3.5 [95%CI 1.1-10.7]; p = 0.028). PE-related mortality with severe CAC was 9.5% (OR 5.8 [95%CI 1.0-34.0]; p = 0.049), with moderate CAC 6.7% (OR 4.0 [95%CI 1.1-14.6]; p = 0.033), and with mild 4.9% (OR 2.9 [95%CI 0.8-9.9]; p = 0.099). OR adjusted for age and gender was 4.2 (95%CI 0.9-20.7; p = 0.074) and 3.4 (95%CI 0.7-17.4; p = 0.141) for the overall model. Patients with sub-massive PE showed similar results.CAC is frequent in acute PE patients and associated with short-term mortality. Visual assessment of CAC may serve as an easy, readily available tool for early risk stratification in those patients.• Coronary artery calcification assessed on computed tomography pulmonary angiography is frequent in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. • Coronary artery calcification assessed on computed tomography pulmonary angiography is associated with 30-day overall and PE-related mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. • Coronary artery calcification assessed on computed tomography pulmonary angiography may serve as an additional, easy readily available tool for early risk stratification in those patients.

Abstract

The purpose of this manuscript is to review the surgical techniques of aortic arch repair, imaging techniques for evaluating the pre- and post-operative aortic arch, and both normal and abnormal post-operative imaging appearances. Aortic arch repair is a technically challenging and rapidly evolving procedure, utilizing a variety of surgical methods that result in variable imaging appearances. Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of aortic arch abnormalities, as well as diagnosis of abnormalities in the adjacent ascending and descending aorta. Imaging also plays a key role in post-operative evaluation and surveillance. Familiarity with aortic arch surgical procedures and their expected post-operative imaging appearances is crucial for the radiologist to identify the surgery performed, recognize surgical complications, and avoid imaging pitfalls that may be mistaken for complications.

Abstract

Patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) can present with various clinical manifestations including syncope. The mechanism of syncope in PE is not fully elucidated and data of right ventricular (RV) function in patients has been limited. We retrospectively identified 477 consecutive patients hospitalized with acute PE diagnosed with a computed tomogram (CT) who also had a transthoracic echocardiogram (TTE) 24 h prior to or 48 h after diagnosis. Parameters of RV strain on CT, TTE, electrocardiogram (ECG), and clinical characteristics and adverse outcomes were collected. Patients with all three studies available for assessment were included (n = 369) and those with syncope (n = 34) were compared to patients without syncope (n = 335). Patients with syncope were more likely to demonstrate RV strain on all three modes of assessment compared to those without syncope [17 (50%) vs. 67 (20%); p = 0.001], and those patients were more likely to receive advanced therapies [9 (53%) vs. 15 (22%); p = 0.02]. PE-related mortality was highest among those presenting with high-risk PE and syncope (36%, OR 20.1, 95% CI 5.3-81.1; p 0.001) and was low in patients with syncope without criteria for high-risk PE (3%, OR 1.2, 95% CI 0.2-10.0; p 0.001). In conclusion, acute PE patients with syncope are more likely to demonstrate multimodality evidence of RV strain and to receive advanced therapies. Syncope was only associated with increased PE-related mortality in patients presenting with a high-risk PE. Syncope alone without evidence of RV strain is associated with low short-term adverse events and is similar to those without syncope.

Abstract

To evaluate inter-observer agreement of MRI features and classification of cystic renal masses among radiologist and radiology trainees.Four readers (two radiologists and two radiology trainees) retrospectively reviewed 100 cystic renal lesions on gadolinium enhanced MRI and assigned each a Bosniak classification (1, 2, 2F, 3, and 4). Lesions were also assessed on their individual features including size, presence of nodules, septations, and enhancement. Readers ranked their level of confidence regarding Bosniak classifications. Inter-observer variability of lesion classification and features was evaluated between raters at both radiologist and radiology trainee levels as well as the level of agreement of all four readers using weighted Kappa and intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC).One hundred cystic renal lesions were evaluated. There was moderate and substantial classification agreement between trainees and radiologists (ICC 0.59 and 0.63, respectively). There was substantial classification agreement among all four readers (0.66) with the lowest level of agreement for Bosniak 2F lesions (ICC 0.14). There was moderate-substantial agreement for the presence of nodular component, septations, and enhancement. Staff demonstrated highest agreement when assessing for nodular components (0.73). Agreement for the presence of enhancement was lowest (0.37 and 0.42 for radiologists and trainees, respectively). Reported confidence was higher among radiologists compared with trainees.There is substantial overall inter-observer agreement in the MRI classification of cystic renal lesions. Confidence increases as rater experience increases.
