    Abstract Background: Estimation of pulmonary pressures is of key importance in acute cardiovascular and respiratory failure. Pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAAT) has emerged as reliable parameter for the estimation of systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) in cardiological population with preserved right ventricular function. We sought to find whether PAAT correlates with sPAP in critically ill patients with and without right ventricular (RV) systolic dysfunction.
    Methods: Observational study. We measured sPAP using continuous-wave Doppler analysis of tricuspid regurgitation velocity peak method and we assessed the validity of PAAT in estimating sPAP in patients admitted to adult intensive care unit (ICU) for acute cardiovascular and respiratory failure.
    Results: We enrolled 236 patients admitted to cardiothoracic ICU for cardiovascular and respiratory failure (respectively: 129, 54.7% and 107, 45.3%). 114 (48.3%) had preserved RV systolic function (defined as TAPSE ≥ 17 mm), whilst 122 (51.7%) had RV systolic impairment (defined as TAPSE < 17 mm). A weak inverse correlation between PAAT and sPAP (ρ-0.189, p 0.0035) was observed in overall population, which was confirmed in those with preserved RV systolic PAAT and sPAP (ρ-0.361, p 0.0001). In patients with impaired RV systolic function no statistically significant correlation between PAAT and sPAP was demonstrated (p 0.2737). Adjusting PAAT values for log
    Conclusions: PAAT measurement to derive sPAP is not reliable in cardiothoracic critically ill patients, particularly in the coexistence of RV systolic impairment.

    Abstract In atrial and ventricular tachyarrhythmias, reduced time for ventricular filling and loss of atrial contribution lead to a significant reduction in cardiac output, resulting in cardiogenic shock. This may also occur during catheter ablation in 11% of overall procedures and is associated with increased mortality. Managing cardiogenic shock and (supra) ventricular arrhythmias is particularly challenging. Inotropic support may exacerbate tachyarrhythmias or accelerate heart rate; antiarrhythmic drugs often come with negative inotropic effects, and electrical reconversions may risk worsening circulatory failure or even cardiac arrest. The drop in native cardiac output during an arrhythmic storm can be partly covered by the insertion of percutaneous mechanical circulatory support (MCS) devices guaranteeing end-organ perfusion. This provides physicians a time window of stability to investigate the underlying cause of arrhythmia and allow proper therapeutic interventions (e.g., percutaneous coronary intervention and catheter ablation). Temporary MCS can be used in the case of overt hemodynamic decompensation or as a "preemptive strategy" to avoid circulatory instability during interventional cardiology procedures in high-risk patients. Despite the increasing use of MCS in cardiogenic shock and during catheter ablation procedures, the recommendation level is still low, considering the lack of large observational studies and randomized clinical trials. Therefore, the evidence on the timing and the kinds of MCS devices has also scarcely been investigated. In the current review, we discuss the available evidence in the literature and gaps in knowledge on the use of MCS devices in the setting of ventricular arrhythmias and arrhythmic storms, including a specific focus on pathophysiology and related therapies.

    Abstract The aim of this study was to measure the serum levels of catecholamines in patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) with COVID-19-related acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) and describe their relation with clinical, inflammatory and echocardiographic parameters. Serum levels of endogenous catecholamines (norepinephrine, epinephrine and dopamine) were measured at ICU admission. We enrolled 71 patients consecutively admitted to ICU due to moderate to severe ARDS. 11 patients (15.5%) died during the admission in ICU. Serum levels of endogenous catecholamines were significantly elevated. Norepinephrine levels were higher in those with RV and LV systolic dysfunction, higher CRP, and higher IL-6. Patients with higher mortality rate were those with norepinephrine values ≥ 3124 ng/mL, CRP ≥ 17.2 mg/dL and IL-6 ≥ 102 pg/mL. Univariable analysis by Cox proportional hazards regression modelling showed that norepinephrine, IL-6 and CRP had the highest risk of acute mortality. Multivariable analysis showed that only norepinephrine and IL-6 retained in the model. Marked increase of serum catecholamine levels is present during acute phase of critically ill COVID-19 and it is associated with inflammatory and clinical parameters.

    Abstract Background: Cardiac time intervals are used as indices of systolic and diastolic function. Echocardiographic assessment of these intervals is based on either pulsed wave Doppler (PWD) or tissue Doppler imaging (TDI). We investigated the agreement between the two techniques in the evaluation of right ventricular (RV) time intervals in healthy adults.
    Methods: In 123 healthy volunteers we used both PWD and TDI to assess RV time intervals (filling time - RVFT, ejection time - RVET), heart rate-corrected intervals (total filling time - t-FT, total ejection time - t-ET) and RV performance indices (total isovolumic time - t-IVT, myocardial performance index - MPI). Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) and Pearson analysis (r coefficient) were used to evaluate the agreement and correlation between the two techniques.
    Results: PWD and TDI had excellent agreement and correlation in measuring RVFT (ICC 0.94 [95% CI 0.85 - 0.97], r 0.91) whereas a good agreement was found for RVET (ICC 0.63[95% CI - 0.14 - 0.84]; r 0.68). Good agreement and strong correlation were found for both t-FT (ICC 0.67 [95% CI 0.36 - 0.82]; r 0.59) and t-ET (ICC 0.71 [95% CI - 0.06-0.88]; r 0.74). The two methods had lower agreement in assessing RV t-IVT (ICC 0.52 [95% CI 0.3187-0.6622]; r 0.57) and MPI (ICC 0.36 [95% CI - 0.05-0.43]; r 0.50).
    Conclusion: In healthy adults, PWD and TDI are interchangeable in measuring RVFT, RVET, RV t-FT and RV t-ET. Lower agreement between the two techniques was found for RV t-IVT and MPI.
