Abstract

Background: The Italian Society of Echocardiography and Cardiovascular Imaging (SIECVI) conducted a national survey to understand better how different echocardiographic modalities are used and accessed in Italy. Methods: We analyzed echocardiography laboratory activities over a month (November 2022). Data were retrieved via an electronic survey based on a structured questionnaire, uploaded on the SIECVI website. Results: Data were obtained from 228 echocardiographic laboratories: 112 centers (49%) in the northern, 43 centers (19%) in the central, and 73 (32%) in the southern regions. During the month of observation, we collected 101,050 transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) examinations performed in all centers. As concern other modalities there were performed 5497 transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) examinations in 161/228 centers (71%); 4057 stress echocardiography (SE) examinations in 179/228 centers (79%); and examinations with ultrasound contrast agents (UCAs) in 151/228 centers (66%). We did not find significant regional variations between the different modalities. The usage of picture archiving and communication system (PACS) was significantly higher in the northern (84%) versus central (49%) and southern (45%) centers (P < 0.001). Lung ultrasound (LUS) was performed in 154 centers (66%), without difference between cardiology and noncardiology centers. The evaluation of left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction was evaluated mainly using the qualitative method in 223 centers (94%), occasionally with the Simpson method in 193 centers (85%), and with selective use of the three-dimensional (3D) method in only 23 centers (10%). 3D TTE was present in 137 centers (70%), and 3D TEE in all centers where TEE was done (71%). The assessment of LV diastolic function was done routinely in 80% of the centers. Right ventricular function was evaluated using tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion in all centers, using tricuspid valve annular systolic velocity by tissue

Abstract

With stress echo (SE) 2020 study, a new standard of practice in stress imaging was developed and disseminated: the ABCDE protocol for functional testing within and beyond CAD. ABCDE protocol was the fruit of SE 2020, and is the seed of SE 2030, which is articulated in 12 projects: 1-SE in coronary artery disease (SECAD), 2-SE in diastolic heart failure (SEDIA), 3-SE in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (SEHCA), 4-SE post-chest radiotherapy and chemotherapy (SERA), 5-Artificial intelligence SE evaluation (AI-SEE), 6-Environmental stress echocardiography and air pollution (ESTER), 7-SE in repaired Tetralogy of Fallot (SETOF), 8-SE in post-COVID-19 (SECOV), 9: Recovery by stress echo of conventionally unfit donor good hearts (RESURGE), 10-SE for mitral ischemic regurgitation (SEMIR), 11-SE in valvular heart disease (SEVA), 12-SE for coronary vasospasm (SESPASM). The study aims to recruit in the next 5 years (2021–2025) ≥10,000 patients followed for ≥5 years (up to 2030) from ≥20 quality-controlled laboratories from ≥10 countries. In this COVID-19 era of sustainable health care delivery, SE2030 will provide the evidence to finally recommend SE as the optimal and versatile imaging modality for functional testing anywhere, any time, and in any patient.

Abstract

Aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent valvular heart disease in developed countries, associated with reduced survival if severe AS remains untreated. Recent reports note unfavorable outcomes in moderate AS (mAS) patients, challenging optimal intervention timing. Variations in pathophysiology linked to sex differences, involving sex hormones, activation of the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, and dysregulation in collagen synthesis, have been observed. Yet, limited data exists on sex–specific differences in mAS outcomes. This single–center, retrospective study included 150 patients (median age 79±13 years, female sex 48%) diagnosed with mAS who underwent comprehensive echocardiography in IRCCS Fondazione Ca’ Granda Ospedale Maggiore Policlinico of Milan from July 2022 to October 2023. Clinical data, encompassing demographics details and therapy, were obtained via record reviews and phone interviews. Death verification relied on the ‘Sistema Informativo Socio–Sanitario Regione Lombardia’ database. Echocardiographic records were digitally stored and post–processed by four independent investigators using Medimatic ComPACS workstation. Men were significantly younger than women (75±10 vs 79±9.7 years, p= 0.016). They exhibited lower left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction, larger LV end–systolic volume and stroke volume compared to women (54±7 vs 59±10%; p=0.028. 55±36 vs 31±13 ml; p<0.001. 83±18 vs 75±18 ml; p=0.030). Men had significantly smaller aortic valve (AV) area index to body surface area (BSA) (0.6±0.09 vs 0.7±0.1 cmq/mq; p<0.001) and lower doppler velocity index (0.32±0.07 vs 0.38±0.11; p<0.001) than women. Coronary artery disease and smoking were more frequent in men (53.3 vs 46.7%; p=0,002. 52.6 vs 47.4%; p<0.001). In survival analysis, 15% of women and 30.8% of men experienced events, with male gender independently associated with the composite outcome (all–cause mortality and AV replacement) over a mean follow–up time of 200 ± 133 days, showing a median survival of 244±16 vs 255±15 days for females (p–value=0.025). In multivariable analysis including relevant clinical variables (hemoglobin and AV index to BSA), male sex remained independently associated with the composite outcome (hazard ratio 2,01; CI 1.0–4.17; p=0.05). Women diagnosed with mAS exhibited a lower incidence of AV replacement and all–cause mortality. These findings may suggest the existence of different clinical and echocardiographic phenotypes among patients with AS.

Abstract

This paper deals with the part supply process in a mixed-model assembly line served by a logistic train. The logistic train periodically follows a fixed route (tour) and, in each tour, it visits all the stations for providing full bins of parts and retrieving the empty bins (which will be re-filled in a "supermarket" at the end of the tour). The aim of this paper is to analytically model such a system in order to support the dimensioning of both the logistic train and the station buffers. The innovative contribution consists in treating the system as a "polling system", i.e., a set of queues attended by a single server. This allows us to consider the variability of the station cycle times and the tour duration of the logistic train. In particular, since the capacity of the logistic train is constrained by the number of wagons, the study generalizes approaches for the uncapacitated-server polling systems to the capacitated case.

Abstract

This study analyzed the association of left ventricular end-systolic diameter (LVESD) with survival after diagnosis in organic mitral regurgitation (MR) due to flail leaflets.LVESD is a marker of left ventricular function in patients with organic MR but its association to survival after diagnosis is unknown.The MIDA (Mitral Regurgitation International Database) registry is a multicenter registry of echocardiographically diagnosed organic MR due to flail leaflets. We enrolled 739 patients with MR due to flail leaflets (age 65 +/- 12 years; ejection fraction: 65 +/- 10%) in whom LVESD was measured (36 +/- 7 mm).Under conservative management, 10-year survival and survival free of cardiac death were higher with LVESD40 mm versusor =40 mm (64 +/- 5% vs. 48 +/- 10%; p0.001, and 73 +/- 5% vs. 63 +/- 10%; p = 0.001). LVESDor =40 mm independently predicted overall mortality (hazard ratio [HR]: 1.95, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01 to 3.83) and cardiac mortality (HR: 3.09, 95% CI: 1.35 to 7.09) under conservative management. Mortality risk increased linearly with LVESD40 mm (HR: 1.15, 95% CI: 1.04 to 1.27 per 1-mm increment). During the entire follow-up (including post-surgical), LVESDor =40 mm independently predicted overall mortality (HR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.24 to 2.80) and cardiac mortality (HR: 2.14, 95% CI: 1.29 to 3.56), due to persistence of excess mortality in patients with LVESDor =40 mm after surgery (HR: 1.86, 95% CI: 1.11 to 3.15 for overall death, and HR: 1.81, 95% CI: 1.05 to 3.54 for cardiac death).In MR due to flail leaflets, LVESDor =40 mm is independently associated with increased mortality under medical management but also after mitral surgery. These findings support prompt surgical rescue in patients with LVESDor =40 mm but also suggest that best preservation of survival is achieved in patients operated before LVESD reaches 40 mm.

Abstract

The paper presents a new generalized framework for carrying out simulations of continuous-time stochastic processes by exploiting a discrete event approach. The application scope of this work mainly refers to industrial production processes executed on a continuous flow of material (e.g., food and beverage industry) as well as production processes working on discrete units but characterized by a high production rate (e.g., automated packaging lines). The proposed model extends a previous work of the same Authors by introducing the capability to manage logical signals between couples of simulation units. In this way, control policies can be modeled and triggered by variations on parameters under monitoring during the simulation. A generalized model for a generic simulation unit is then presented and described adopting the DEVS formalism.

Abstract

Background: There is uncertainty regarding the prognostic value of troponin and creatine kinase muscle and brain isoenzyme measurements after noncardiac surgery. Methods: The current study undertook a systematic review and meta-analysis. The study used six search strategies and included noncardiac surgery studies that provided data from a multivariable analysis assessing whether a postoperative troponin or creatine kinase muscle and brain isoenzyme measurement was an independent predictor of mortality or a major cardiovascular event. Independent investigators determined study eligibility and abstracted data in duplicate. Results: Fourteen studies, enrolling 3,318 patients and 459 deaths, demonstrated that an increased troponin measurement after surgery was an independent predictor of mortality (odds ratio [OR] 3.4, 95% confidence interval [CI] 2.2-5.2), but there was substantial heterogeneity (I(2) = 56%). The independent prognostic capabilities of an increased troponin value after surgery in the 10 studies that assessed intermediate-term (
