    Title translation Right heart catheterization: tips and tricks.
    Abstract Right heart catheterization (RHC) is a key diagnostic tool in several clinical conditions. It is recognized to be a technically demanding procedure requiring accurate evaluation of results. If performed by skilled operators, RHC provides reliable and valuable measurements with low complication rates. Although increasing data from the literature have become available over time, a comprehensive review of technical details and pitfalls is rare. This article aims to provide an overview of indications and evidence-based practical issues upon RHC to guide interventional cardiologists on how to perform this procedure.

    Abstract Epidemiological studies have suggested that human exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields from the electric power and to mobile phone radiofrequency electromagnetic fields induce an increased risk of developing malignant tumours. However, no adequate laboratory data, in particular long-term carcinogenicity bioassays to support the epidemiological evidence, have yet been available. This motivated the Ramazzini Institute to embark on a first project of four large life-span carcinogenic bioassays conducted on over 7000 Sprague Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to S-50 Hz MF alone or combined with gamma radiation or formaldehyde or aflatoxin B1. Results now available from these studies, which started concurrently, have shown that exposure to Sinusoidal-50 Hz Magnetic Field (S-50 Hz MF) combined with acute exposure to gamma radiation or to chronic administration of formaldehyde in drinking water induces a significantly increased incidence of malignant tumours in males and females. A second project of two large life-span carcinogenic bioassays was conducted on over 3000 Sprague Dawley rats exposed from prenatal life until natural death to 1.8 GHz GSM of mobile phone radio base station, alone or combined with acute exposure to gamma radiation. Early results from the experiment on 1.8 GHz GSM alone show a statistically significant increase in the incidence of heart malignant schwannoma among males exposed at the highest dose.

    Abstract Exposure to artificial radio frequency electromagnetic fields (RF-EMFs) has greatly increased in recent years, thus promoting a growing scientific and social interest in deepening the biological impact of EMFs on living organisms. The current legislation governing the exposure to RF-EMFs is based exclusively on their thermal effects, without considering the possible non-thermal adverse health effects from long term exposure to EMFs. In this study we investigated the biological non-thermal effects of low-level indoor exposure to RF-EMFs produced by WiFi wireless technologies, using

    Abstract A 48-year-old male was admitted to our institution with an anteroseptal ST-elevation myocardial infarction and angiographic evidence of a thrombotic occlusion in the ostial segment of the left anterior descending coronary artery. The percutaneous coronary intervention resulted in "no-reflow" and cardiogenic shock. We describe our successful management strategy with sequentially combined implantation of Impella CP and Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenator.

    Abstract Background: Selexipag is an oral selective prostacyclin IP receptor agonist approved in patients with low- and intermediate-risk pulmonary hypertension (PH); evidence in patients at high risk is lacking.
    Case summary: A 42-year-old woman with worsening dyspnoea (World Health Organization functional class III-IV) and suspected PH at echocardiographic examination was evaluated in our Pulmonary Hypertension Centre. Right heart catheterization showed pre-capillary PH with reduced cardiac index and increased pulmonary vascular resistance. High-resolution computed tomography excluded parenchymal lung disease and ventilation/perfusion (V/Q) lung scan was negative for mismatched perfusion defects so the conclusive diagnosis was high-risk idiopathic pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH). The patient refused an initial combination therapy including a parenteral prostacyclin analogue (PCA) in accordance with the ESC/ERS guidelines, so an off-label triple oral combination therapy including a phosphodiesterase-5 inhibitor, an endothelin receptor antagonist, and selexipag was started. At 3- and 6-month follow-up we found a clinical and haemodynamic improvement, so the patient was reclassified as low risk. Her clinical condition is currently stable.
    Discussion: Despite the benefit of parenteral PCAs in high-risk PAH, low adherence to treatment may be explained by adverse side effects related to the intravenous route of administration. Given the potential effect seen in our patient, upfront triple oral combination therapy in PAH high-risk patients should be further evaluated in a controlled clinical trial.

    Title translation Right heart catheterization in Italian catheterization laboratories: results of the SICI-GISE national survey promoted by the GISE Young Committee.
    Abstract Background: Over the past decades, the improvements in the diagnostic power and availability of non-invasive cardiac imaging techniques have led to a decline of right heart catheterization (RHC) performance. However, RHC remains the gold standard for diagnosing pulmonary hypertension and an essential tool for the evaluation of patient candidacy to heart transplantation.
    Methods: This survey was carried out jointly by the Young Committee of GISE, with the support of the SICI-GISE Society, and the ICOT group, with the aim of evaluating how the interventional cardiology community perform RHC. A web-based questionnaire based on 20 questions was distributed to SICI-GISE members.
    Results: The survey was distributed to 1550 physicians with 174 (11%) responses. Most centers perform few procedures per year (<10 RHC/year) and a dedicated cardiologist is usually lacking. Patients were frequently admitted as ordinary hospitalization regimen and the most frequent indication for RHC was the hemodynamic assessment of pulmonary hypertension, followed by diagnostics of valvular diseases and advanced heart failure/heart transplantation. Indeed, the majority of participants (86%) are involved in transcatheter procedures for structural heart disease. The average time taken to perform the RHC was approximately 30-60 min. The femoral access (60%) was the most frequently used, usually by an echo-guided approach. Two-thirds of participants discontinued oral anticoagulant therapy before RHC. Only 27% of centers assess wedge position from an integrated analysis. Furthermore, the edge pressure is detected in the end-diastolic cardiac phase in half cases and in the end-expiratory phase in only 31%. The most commonly used method for cardiac output calculation was the indirect Fick method (58%).
    Conclusions: Guidance on the best practice for performing RHC is currently lacking. A more precise standardization of this demanding procedure is warranted.

    Abstract Aims: To identify the best strategy to achieve complete revascularization (CR) in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and multi-vessel disease (MVD).
    Methods and results: We systematically reviewed the literature for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) comparing IRA-only PCI and CR guided by angiography or fractional flow reserve (FFR) in MVD-STEMI. Both frequentist (classical) and Bayesian network meta-analysis were performed, including a comparative hierarchy estimation of the probability to reduce the primary composite endpoint of all-cause death and new myocardial infarction (MI). We identified 11 RCTs, including 8193 STEMI patients. Compared with IRA-only strategy, CR significantly reduced the primary endpoint (OR: 0.73; 95%CI0.55-0.97). We observed non-significant difference between angiography and FFR guidance in reducing the primary endpoint (OR: 0.73, 95% CI 0.35-1.57). The Bayesian probability analysis ranked angio-guided CR as the best intervention yielding lowest risk of all-cause death or new MI (SUCRA92%).
    Conclusions: In patients with MVD-STEMI, CR is associated with a reduction in all-cause mortality and new MI compared with IRA-only PCI. Angio-guided CR is associated with the lowest risk of all-cause death or new MI, therefore the role of FFR-guidance in this setting is questionable.
    Condensed abstract: Both frequentist and Bayesian network meta-analysis were performed to compare infarct-related artery (IRA)-only percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and complete revascularization (CR) guided by angiography or fractional flow reserve (FFR) in multivessel disease (MVD) and acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). Eleven randomized controlled trials were identified, including 8193 STEMI patients. Compared with IRA-only strategy, CR significantly reduced the incidence of the composite endpoint of all-cause death and new myocardial infarction without significant difference in angio-guided and FFR-guided CR. The Bayesian probability analysis ranked angio-guided CR as the best intervention yielding lowest risk of the composite endpoint and, therefore the role of FFR-guidance in this setting is questionable.
