    Abstract Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) affects about 2% to 3% of the general population, mostly women, and is the most common cause of primary chronic mitral regurgitation (MR) in western countries. The natural history is heterogeneous and widely determined by the severity of MR. Although most patients remain asymptomatic with a near-normal life expectancy, approximately 5% to 10 % progress to severe MR. As largely recognized, left ventricular (LV) dysfunction due to chronic volume overload per se identifies a subgroup at risk of cardiac death. However, there is rising evidence of a link between MVP and life threating ventricular arrhythmias (VAs)/sudden cardiac death (SCD) in a small subset of middle-aged patients without significant MR, heart failure and remodeled hearts. The present review focuses on the underlying mechanism of electric instability and unexpected cardiac death in this subset of young patients, from the myocardial scarring of the LV infero-lateral wall due to mechanical stretch exerted by the prolapsing leaflets and mitral annular disjunction, to the inflammation's impact on fibrosis pathways along with a constitutional hyperadrenergic state. The heterogeneity of clinical course reveals a necessity of risk stratification, preferably through noninvasive multimodality imaging, that will help to identify and prevent adverse scenarios in young MVP patients.

    Abstract Purpose of review: Stress echocardiography is recommended in valvular heart disease when there is a mismatch between resting transthoracic echocardiography findings and symptoms during activities of daily living. We describe the current methodology and the evidence supporting these applications.
    Recent findings: The comprehensive stress echo assessment includes valve function (gradients and regurgitation), left ventricular global systolic and diastolic function, left atrial volume, pulmonary congestion, pulmonary arterial pressure, and right ventricular function, integrated with blood pressure response with cuff sphygmomanometer, chronotropic reserve with heart rate, and symptoms. Recent guidelines recommend the evaluation of asymptomatic severe or symptomatic non-severe mitral regurgitation or stenosis with exercise stress and suspected low-flow, low-gradient severe aortic stenosis with reduced ejection fraction with low dose (up to 20 mcg, without atropine) dobutamine stress. Prospective, large-scale studies based on a comprehensive protocol (ABCDE +) capturing the multiplicity of clinical phenotypes are needed to support stress echo-driven treatment strategies.

    Abstract Background: The prevalence of left atrial thrombi in patients scheduled for electrical cardioversion (ECV) of atrial fibrillation (AF) remains unknown in contemporary real-life practice.
    Methods and results: Patients scheduled for ECV underwent transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) regardless of AF duration and type of anticoagulant. Of 277 consecutive patients (65% men, mean age 71 ± 10 years, CHA
    Conclusion: Patients with AF, on effective anticoagulation, had a prevalence of thrombus not negligible regardless of type of anticoagulant. TEE is prudent before ECV and mandatory if unsuccessful anticoagulation is proved or suspected.

    Abstract Hereditary transthyretin amyloidosis is a severe, adult-onset autosomal dominant inherited systemic disease predominantly affecting the peripheral and autonomic nervous system, heart, kidney, and the eyes. We present a case of a Caucasian 65-year-old man with cardiac amyloidosis and the homozygous mutation Val142Ile (classically, Val122Ile) in the transthyretin gene. We provide a genotype-phenotype correlation regarding the genetic status of both heterozygous and homozygous individuals and their clinical conditions at the time of genetic testing.

    Abstract Valvular heart disease is a leading cause of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and a major contributor of symptoms and functional disability. Knowledge of valvular heart disease epidemiology and a deep comprehension of the geographical and temporal trends are crucial for clinical advances and the formulation of effective health policy for primary and secondary prevention. This review mainly focuses on the epidemiology of primary (organic, related to the valve itself) valvular disease and its management, especially emphasizing the importance of heart valve centers in ensuring the best care of patients through a multidisciplinary team.
