    Title translation Cardiovascular magnetic resonance in clinical practice: who, when and why?
    Abstract Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) is an imaging modality with growing indications in cardiology. The purpose of this article is to illustrate the current clinical applications of CMR across the spectrum of ischemic heart disease, non-ischemic cardiomyopathies, cardiac arrhythmias and valvular or vascular heart disease. The strengths of CMR lie in its ability to comprehensively image, without the need for ionizing radiation, cardiac and vascular anatomy, function, perfusion, viability and physiology, providing a powerful non-invasive tool for patient diagnosis and prognostication.

    Abstract Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) was first described in the 1960s, and it is usually a benign condition. However, a subtype of patients are known to have a higher incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and sudden cardiac death, the so called "arrhythmic MVP." In recent years, several studies have been published to identify the most important clinical features to distinguish the benign form from the potentially lethal one in order to personalize patient's treatment and follow-up. In this review, we specifically focused on

    Title translation Mitral valve prolapse: beyond mitral regurgitation, the arrhythmic risk.
    Abstract Mitral prolapse is a common condition, defined by the systolic bulging of at least one mitral leaflet into the left atrium, which is often accompanied by various degree of mitral insufficiency. While for most of the patients the prognosis is linked to the severity of the valve regurgitation and its repercussions on the left ventricle (dilation and/or dysfunction), a minority of patients present with severe ventricular arrhythmia and an increased risk of sudden cardiac death, irrespective of the severity of the mitral regurgitation. To describe this particular condition, the terms arrhythmic or malignant mitral valve prolapse have been coined. The aim of this article is to describe the clinical, electrocardiographic and morphologic characteristics, which have been associated with an increased risk of arrhythmia in patients with mitral prolapse.

    Title translation Chaperone molecules: The example of Fabry disease.
    Abstract Fabry disease is due to mutations in the GLA gene that cause a deficiency of the activity of the lysosomal enzyme alpha-galactosidase A (α-gal A) resulting in intra-tissue accumulation of globotriaosylceramide. Recently, a novel therapeutic approach based on the pharmacological chaperone migalastat has been developed. It binds, in a specific and reversible manner, to the catalytic site of α-gal A mutants, to prevent their degradation by the quality control system of the endoplasmic reticulum and allow them to catabolize globotriaosylceramide in the lysosomes. This treatment concerns approximately 35% of the GLA gene mutations recognized as sensitive to migalastat according to an in vitro pharmacogenetic test. Two pivotal Phase III studies, FACETS: migalastat vs. placebo and ATTRACT: migalastat vs. enzyme replacement therapy analyzed the in vivo effects of migalastat. Despite some methodological limitations, promising results were found. Migalastat seems to be more effective than enzyme replacement therapy in reducing left ventricular mass index in case of cardiac hypertrophy and has comparable renal effects. This oral treatment is the first personalized treatment, based on the genetic profile of Fabry patients and opens a new era in the management of conformational diseases.

    Abstract Background: The sutureless Perceval S bioprosthesis is associated with postoperative thrombocytopenia. Our objectives were to compare the incidence, severity, and clinical implications of thrombocytopenia after aortic valve replacement (AVR) using the Perceval S or the Trifecta bioprosthesis.
    Methods: Patients who underwent AVR between March 2016 and August 2019 using the Perceval or Trifecta were retrospectively included. The primary endpoint was the nadir in platelet counts within 15 days after surgery. Secondary endpoints included postoperative hemolysis and inflammatory parameters, as well as clinical and echocardiographic outcomes.
    Results: Overall, 156 patients were included (Perceval,
    Conclusion: The Perceval S bioprosthesis was associated with more severe postoperative thrombocytopenia. This did not translate into higher short-term morbidity or mortality.

    Abstract In this retrospective/prospective study, we assessed the role of fundoscopy in 711 episodes with suspected infective endocarditis (IE); 238 (33%) had IE. Ocular embolic events (retinal emboli or chorioretinitis/endophthalmitis) and Roth spots were found in 37 (5%) and 34 (5%) episodes, respectively, but had no impact on IE diagnosis.

    Abstract Objectives: To ascertain whether infective endocarditis (IE) was associated with persistent bacteraemia/candidaemia among patients with suspected IE.
    Methods: This study included bacteraemic/candidaemic adult patients with echocardiography and follow-up blood cultures. Persistent bacteraemia/candidaemia was defined as continued positive blood cultures with the same microorganism for 48 h or more after antibiotic treatment initiation. Each case was classified for IE by the Endocarditis Team.
    Results: Among 1962 episodes of suspected IE, IE (605; 31%) was the most prevalent infection type. Persistent bacteraemia/candidaemia was observed in 426 (22%) episodes. Persistent bacteraemia was more common among episodes with Staphylococcus aureus bacteraemia compared to episodes with positive blood cultures for other pathogens (32%, 298/933 vs 12%, 128/1029; P < 0.001). Multivariable analysis demonstrated that cardiac predisposing factors (aOR 1.84, 95% CI 1.31-2.60), community or non-nosocomial healthcare-associated (2.85, 2.10-3.88), bacteraemia by high-risk bacteria, such as S. aureus, streptococci, enterococci or HACEK (1.84, 1.31-2.60), two or more positive sets of index blood cultures (6.99, 4.60-10.63), persistent bacteraemia/candidaemia for 48 h from antimicrobial treatment initiation (1.43, 1.05-1.93), embolic events within 48h from antimicrobial treatment initiation (12.81, 9.43-17.41), and immunological phenomena (3.87, 1.09-1.78) were associated with infective endocarditis.
    Conclusions: IE was associated with persistent bacteraemia/candidaemia, along with other commonly associated factors.
