Abstract
BACKGROUND Data on the prognostic role of the TRI-SCORE in patients undergoing transcatheter tricuspid valve intervention (TTVI) are limited. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the performance of the TRI-SCORE in predicting outcomes of patients undergoing TTVI. METHODS TriValve (Transcatheter Tricuspid Valve Therapies) is a large multicenter multinational registry including patients undergoing TTVI. The TRI-SCORE is a risk model recently proposed to predict in-hospital mortality after tricuspid valve surgery. The TriValve population was stratified based on the TRI-SCORE tertiles. The outcomes of interest were all-cause death and all-cause death or heart failure hospitalization. Procedural complications and changes in NYHA functional class were also reported. RESULTS Among the 634 patients included, 223 patients (35.2%) had a TRI-SCORE between 0 and 5, 221 (34.8%) had 6 or 7, and 190 (30%) had ≥8 points. Postprocedural blood transfusion, acute kidney injury, new atrial fibrillation, and in-hospital mortality were more frequent in the highest TRI-SCORE tertile. Postprocedure length of stay increased with a TRI-SCORE increase. A TRI-SCORE ≥8 was associated with an increased risk of 30-day all-cause mortality and all-cause mortality and the composite endpoint assessed at a median follow-up of 186 days (OR: 3.00; 95% CI: 1.38-6.55; HR: 2.17; 95% CI: 1.78-4.13; HR: 2.08, 95% CI: 1.57-2.74, respectively) even after adjustment for procedural success and EuroSCORE II or Society of Thoracic Surgeons Predicted Risk of Mortality. The NYHA functional class improved across all TRI-SCORE values. CONCLUSIONS In the TriValve registry, the TRI-SCORE has a suboptimal performance in predicting clinical outcomes. However, a TRISCORE ≥8 is associated with an increased risk of clinical events and a lack of prognostic benefit after successful TTVI.

Abstract
AIMS Evidence on the epidemiology and prognostic significance of mitral regurgitation (MR) and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) in patients with cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS Overall, 538 patients with either transthyretin (ATTR, n = 359) or immunoglobulin light-chain (AL, n = 179) CA were included at three Italian referral centres. Patients were stratified according to isolated or combined moderate/severe MR and TR. Overall, 240 patients (44.6%) had no significant MR/TR, 112 (20.8%) isolated MR, 66 (12.3%) isolated TR, and 120 (22.3%) combined MR/TR. The most common aetiologies were atrial functional MR, followed by primary infiltrative MR, and secondary TR due to right ventricular (RV) overload followed by atrial functional TR. Patients with isolated or combined MR/TR had a more frequent history of heart failure (HF) hospitalization and atrial fibrillation, worse symptoms, and higher levels of NT-proBNP as compared to those without MR/TR. They also presented more severe atrial enlargement, atrial peak longitudinal strain impairment, left ventricular (LV) and RV systolic dysfunction, and higher pulmonary artery systolic pressures. TR carried the most advanced features. After adjustment for age, sex, CA subtypes, laboratory, and echocardiographic markers of CA severity, isolated TR and combined MR/TR were independently associated with an increased risk of all-cause death or worsening HF events, compared to no significant MR/TR [adjusted HR 2.75 (1.78-4.24) and 2.31 (1.44-3.70), respectively]. CONCLUSION In a large cohort of patients with CA, MR, and TR were common. Isolated TR and combined MR/TR were associated with worse prognosis regardless of CA aetiology, LV, and RV function, with TR carrying the highest risk.

Abstract
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Coronavirus disease-2019 (COVID-19) vaccines have been related to rare cases of acute myocarditis, occurring between 1 in 10,000 and 1 in 100,000 individuals, approximately. Incidence of COVID-19 vaccine-associated myocarditis varies with age, sex, and type of vaccine. Although most patients with acute myocarditis temporally associated with COVID-19 vaccines have an uneventful course, a small subpopulation presents with cardiogenic shock (termed fulminant myocarditis [FM]). This review explored the prevalence, clinical presentation, management, and prognosis of COVID-19 vaccine-associated acute myocarditis, specifically focusing on FM and comparing patients with fulminant versus non-fulminant myocarditis. RECENT FINDINGS Cases of FM represent about 2-4% (0 to 7.5%) of COVID-19 vaccine-associated acute myocarditis cases, and mortality is around 1%, ranging between 0 and 4.4%. First, we identified 40 cases of FM up to February 2023 with sufficient granular data from case reports and case series of COVID-19 vaccine-associated acute myocarditis that occurred within 30 days from the last vaccine injection. This population was compared with 294 cases of non-fulminant acute myocarditis identified in the literature during a similar time. Patients with FM were older (48 vs. 27 years), had a larger proportion of women (58% vs. 9%), and mainly occurred after the first shot compared with non-fulminant cases (58% vs. 16%). The reported mortality was 27% (11 out of 40), in line with non-vaccine-associated fulminant myocarditis. These data were in agreement with 36 cases of FM from a large Korean registry. Herein, we reviewed the clinical features, imaging results, and histological findings of COVID-19 vaccine-associated fulminant myocarditis. In conclusion, COVID-19 vaccine-associated FM differs from non-fulminant forms, suggesting potential specific mechanisms in these rare and severe forms. Mortality in vaccine-associated FM remains high, in line with other forms of FM.

Abstract
AIMS To evaluate the prognostic impact of pre-procedural right ventricular longitudinal strain (RVLS) in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge repair (TEER) in comparison with conventional echocardiographic parameters of RV function. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a retrospective study including 142 patients with SMR undergoing TEER at two Italian centres. At 1-year follow-up 45 patients reached the composite endpoint of all-cause death or heart failure hospitalization. The best cut-off value of RV free-wall longitudinal strain (RVFWLS) to predict outcome was -18% [sensitivity 72%, specificity of 71%, area under curve (AUC) 0.78, P < 0.001], whereas the best cut-off value of RV global longitudinal strain (RVGLS) was -15% (sensitivity 56%, specificity 76%, AUC 0.69, P < 0.001). Prognostic performance was suboptimal for tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion, Doppler tissue imaging-derived tricuspid lateral annular systolic velocity and fractional area change (FAC). Cumulative survival free from events was lower in patients with RVFWLS ≥ -18% vs. RVFWLS < -18% (44.0% vs. 85.4%; < 0.001) as well as in patients with RVGLS ≥ -15% vs. RVGLS < -15% (54.9% vs. 81.7%; P < 0.001). At multivariable analysis FAC, RVGLS and RVFWLS were independent predictors of events. The identified cut-off of RVFWLS and RVGLS both resulted independently associated with outcomes. CONCLUSION RVLS is a useful and reliable tool to identify patients with SMR undergoing TEER at high risk of mortality and HF hospitalization, on top of other clinical and echocardiographic parameters, with RVFWLS offering the best prognostic performance.

Abstract
We perform molecular dynamics simulations of TIP4P/Ice water in solution with trehalose for 3.65 and 18.57 wt. % concentrations and of bulk TIP4P/Ice water at ambient pressure, to characterize the structure and dynamics of water in a sugar aqueous solution in the supercooled region. We find here that TIP4P/Ice water in solution with trehalose molecules follows the Mode Coupling Theory and undergoes a fragile to strong transition up to the highest concentration investigated, similar to the bulk. Moreover, we perform a Mode Coupling Theory test, showing that the Time Temperature Superposition principle holds for both bulk TIP4P/Ice water and for TIP4P/Ice water in the solutions and we calculate the exponents of the theory. The direct comparison of the dynamical results for bulk water and water in the solutions shows upon cooling along the isobar a fastening of water dynamics for lower temperatures, T < 240 K. We found that the counter-intuitive behavior for the low temperature solutions can be explained with the diffusion anomaly of water leading us to the conclusion that the fastening observed below T = 240 K in water dynamics is only fictitious, due to the fact that the density of water molecules in the solutions is higher than the density of the bulk at the same temperature and pressure. This result should be taken into account in experimental investigations which are often carried out at constant pressure.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the prognostic value of the right ventricle-to-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling in patients with either transthyretin (ATTR) or immunoglobulin light-chain (AL) cardiac amyloidosis (CA). METHODS AND RESULTS Overall, 283 patients with CA from 3 Italian high-volume centres were included (median age 76 years; 63% males; 53% with ATTR-CA, 47% with AL-CA). The RV-PA coupling was evaluated by using the tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion/pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP) ratio. The median value of TAPSE/PASP was 0.45 (0.33-0.63) mm/mmHg. Patients with a TAPSE/PASP ratio <0.45 were older, had lower systolic blood pressure, more severe symptoms, higher cardiac troponin and N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide levels, greater left ventricular (LV) thickness, and worse LV systolic and diastolic function. A TAPSE/PASP ratio <0.45 was independently associated with a higher risk of all-cause death or heart failure (HF) hospitalization [hazard ratio (HR) 1.98, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.32-2.96; P = 0.001] and all-cause death (HR 2.18, 95% CI 1.31-3.62; P = 0.003). The TAPSE/PASP ratio reclassified the risk of both endpoints [net reclassification index 0.46 (95% CI 0.18-0.74) P = 0.001 and 0.49 (0.22-0.77) P < 0.001, respectively], while TAPSE or PASP alone did not (all P > 0.05). The prognostic impact of the TAPSE/PASP ratio was significant both in AL-CA patients (HR for the composite endpoint 2.47, 95% CI 1.58-3.85; P < 0.001) and in ATTR-CA (HR 1.81, 95% CI 1.11-2.95; P = 0.017). The receiver operating characteristic curve showed that the optimal cut-off for predicting prognosis was 0.47 mm/mmHg. CONCLUSION In patients with CA, RV-PA coupling predicted the risk of mortality or HF hospitalization. The TAPSE/PASP ratio was more effective than TAPSE or PASP in predicting prognosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
MessengerRNA (mRNA) COVID-19 vaccination has been associated with a higher-than-expected occurrence of acute myocarditis. Scarce information is available on mid-term prognosis and changes in cardiac function, volumes, and tissue characterization on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR).
Methods
Retrospective, multicenter study including patients with a definite diagnosis of acute myocarditis within 30 days from mRNA COVID-19 vaccination, with a confirmed myocarditis diagnosis based on endomyocardial biopsy (EMB) or autopsy or by the coexistence of positive biomarkers (troponin >99th upper reference limit or elevated creatine kinase myocardial band [CK-MB]) and cardiac MRI findings consistent with AM according to the 2018 updated Lake Louise Criteria.
Results
77 patients (median age 25 years [IQR 20-35], 15% female) were included and followed-up for 147 days [IQR 74-215]. Follow-up CMR was available in n=49 patients and showed no changes in biventricular ejection fraction (EF) as compared to CMR at diagnosis (left ventricular EF: 59%[55-65]vs. 60%[57-64], p=0.507, right ventricular EF: 56%[52-62]vs. 57%[52-61], p=0.563, respectively). Late gadolinium enhancement was present in all patients at diagnosis and persisted in only n=39 (79.6%) at follow-up (p=0.001), generally sparing the anterior wall and the septum. N=10 (20.4%) had a persistent edema based on T2-weighted short tau inversion recovery (STIR) sequences, with predominant involvement of inferior or inferior-lateral walls. The proportion of patients with increased T1 and T2 mapping signals significantly decreased at follow-up (n=13 (68%) vs. n=4 (13%),p<0.001, and n=21 (84%) vs. n=3 (10%),p<0.001, respectively), as well as the presence of pericardial effusion (n=16 (33%) vs. n=3 (6%),p=0.004).
No differences in morpho-functional CMR parameters based on the type of vaccine administered were found (BNT162b2 Pfizer/BioNTech®, n=36, 73.5%, m-RNA-1273 Moderna®, n=13, 26.5%).
Among patients with available follow-up (N=75, 97.4%), no major adverse cardiovascular events nor myocarditis recurrence or death were reported.
Conclusions
At mid-term follow-up, patients who experienced an acute myocarditis after a mRNA COVID-19 vaccine had preserved biventricular EF. The rate and localization of residual scar or edema on CMR is in line with classic viral myocarditis with a good prognosis. This new piece of information should further reassure patients who experience acute myocarditis after mRNA COVID-19 vaccination.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Acute myocarditis (AM) is thought to be a rare cardiovascular complication of COVID-19, although minimal data are available beyond case reports. We aim to report the prevalence, baseline characteristics, in-hospital management, and outcomes for patients with COVID-19–associated AM on the basis of a retrospective cohort from 23 hospitals in the United States and Europe.
Methods
A total of 112 patients with suspected AM from 56963 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 were evaluated between February 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021. Inclusion criteria were hospitalization for COVID-19 and a diagnosis of AM on the basis of endomyocardial biopsy or increased troponin level plus typical signs of AM on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We identified 97 patients with possible AM, and among them, 54 patients with definite/probable AM supported by endomyocardial biopsy in 17 (31.5%) patients or magnetic resonance imaging in 50 (92.6%). We analyzed patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes among all COVID-19–associated AM.
Results
AM prevalence among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was 2.4 per 1000 hospitalizations considering definite/probable and 4.1 per 1000 considering also possible AM. The median age of definite/probable cases was 38 years, and 38.9% were female. On admission, chest pain and dyspnea were the most frequent symptoms (55.5% and 53.7%, respectively). Thirty-one cases (57.4%) occurred in the absence of COVID-19–associated pneumonia. Twenty- one (38.9%) had a fulminant presentation requiring inotropic support or temporary mechanical circulatory support. The composite of in-hospital mortality or temporary mechanical circulatory support occurred in 20.4%. At 120 days, estimated mortality was 6.6%, 15.1% in patients with associated pneumonia versus 0% in patients without pneumonia (P=0.044). During hospitalization, left ventricular ejection fraction, assessed by echocardiography, improved from a median of 40% on admission to 55% at discharge (n=47; P<0.0001) similarly in patients with or without pneumonia. Corticosteroids were frequently administered (55.5%).
Conclusions
AM occurrence is estimated between 2.4 and 4.1 out of 1000 patients hospitalized for COVID-19. The majority of AM occurs in the absence of pneumonia and is often complicated by hemodynamic instability. AM is a rare complication in patients hospitalized for COVID-19, with an outcome that differs on the basis of the presence of concomitant pneumonia.

Abstract
Abstract
Aim
Liver damage is frequently encountered in patients with cardiovascular (CV) disease, due to congestion or metabolic dysfunction-associated fatty liver disease (MAFLD). It has been shown that liver disease is associated with worse outcomes in patients with CV disease. Nevertheless, the association of liver disease with cardiac structure and function and CV events in patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) is poorly known.
Methods
We retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients with HFrEF undergoing Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR) Imaging. In addition to standard cardiac T1-mapping, 3 regions of interest were also defined at the liver parenchyma. Patients were stratified according to hepatic T1 mapping. Linear regression analysis adjusted for demographics and clinical characteristics was performed to cross-sectionally examine the association between hepatic T1-time on CMR and measures of cardiac structure and function. The Kaplan-Meier survival and Cox regression analyses were performed to prospectively investigate the association between hepatic T1-time and the composite adverse outcome of hospitalization for HF or all-cause death.
Results
Overall, 106 HFrEF patients were included in the study (mean age 56 ± 14 years, 75% male). Mean hepatic T1-time was 558 ± 70 ms. In logistic regression analysis, left-ventricle (LV) end-diastolic volume (EDV) (p = 0.027), left atrial volume (LAV) (p = 0.015), right-ventricle (RV) EDV (p < 0.001) and RVEF (p = 0.035) were positively associated with hepatic T1-time. Over a mean follow-up of 5 ± 2 years, 32 patients (30%) experienced the composite outcome at a rate of 6.7 per 100 person-year. In Cox regression analysis, higher hepatic T1-time was independently associated with an increased risk of developing the composite outcome (adjusted-hazard ratio 1.07, 95% confidence interval: 1.01–1.12, p = 0.011). In particular, patients with a hepatic T1-time ≥558 ms had a higher risk of adverse outcomes compared to those with a hepatic T1-time <558 ms (log-rank p = 0.02).
Conclusion
Among HFrEF patients undergoing CMR, higher hepatic T1-time was significantly associated with poorer measures of cardiac size and function. Hepatic T1-time was also significantly associated with higher rates of hospitalization for HF or all-cause-mortality. This parameter may be useful to stratify HFrEF patients at risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preprocedural right ventricular-to-pulmonary artery (RV-PA) coupling is a major predictor of outcome in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER). However, clinical significance of changes in RV-PA coupling after M-TEER is unknown. OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate changes in RV-PA coupling after M-TEER, their prognostic value, and predictors of improvement. METHODS This was a retrospective observational study, including patients undergoing successful M-TEER (residual mitral regurgitation ≤2+ at discharge) for SMR at 13 European centers and with complete echocardiographic data at baseline and short-term follow-up (30-180 days). RV-PA coupling was assessed with the use of echocardiography as the ratio of tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion to pulmonary artery systolic pressure (TAPSE/PASP). All-cause death was assessed at the longest available follow-up starting from the time of the echocardiographic reassessment. RESULTS Among 501 patients included, 331 (66%) improved their TAPSE/PASP after M-TEER (responders) at short-term follow-up (median: 89 days; IQR: 43-159 days), whereas 170 (34%) did not (nonresponders). Lack of previous cardiac surgery, low postprocedural mitral mean gradient, low baseline TAPSE, high baseline PASP, and baseline tricuspid regurgitation were independently associated with TAPSE/PASP improvement after M-TEER. Compared with nonresponders, responders had lower New York Heart Association functional class and less heart failure hospitalizations at short-term follow-up. Improvement in TAPSE/PASP was independently associated with reduced risk of mortality at long-term follow-up (584 days; IQR: 191-1,243 days) (HR: 0.65 [95% CI: 0.42-0.92]; P = 0.017). CONCLUSIONS In patients with SMR, improvement in TAPSE/PASP after successful M-TEER is predicted by baseline clinical and echocardiographic variables and postprocedural mitral gradient, and is associated with a better outcome.

Abstract
AIM To evaluate short-term changes in tricuspid regurgitation (TR) after transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (M-TEER) in secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR), their predictors and impact on mortality. METHODS AND RESULTS This is a retrospective analysis of SMR patients undergoing successful M-TEER (post-procedural mitral regurgitation ≤2+) at 13 European centres. Among 503 patients evaluated 79 (interquartile range [IQR] 40-152) days after M-TEER, 173 (35%) showed ≥1 degree of TR improvement, 97 (19%) had worsening of TR, and 233 (46%) remained unchanged. Smaller baseline left atrial diameter and residual mitral regurgitation 0/1+ were independent predictors of TR ≤2+ after M-TEER. There was a significant association between TR changes and New York Heart Association class and pulmonary artery systolic pressure decrease at echocardiographic re-assessment. At a median follow-up of 590 (IQR 209-1103) days from short-term echocardiographic re-assessment, all-cause mortality was lower in patients with improved compared to those with unchanged/worsened TR (29.6% vs. 42.3% at 3 years; log-rank p = 0.034). Baseline TR severity was not associated with mortality, whereas TR 0/1+ and 2+ at short-term follow-up was associated with lower all-cause mortality compared to TR 3/4+ (30.6% and 35.6% vs. 55.6% at 3 years; p < 0.001). A TR ≤2+ after M-TEER was independently associated with a 42% decreased risk of mortality (p = 0.011). CONCLUSION More than one third of patients with SMR undergoing successful M-TEER experienced an improvement in TR. Pre-procedural TR was not associated with outcome, but a TR ≤2+ at short-term follow-up was independently associated with long-term mortality. Optimal M-TEER result and a small left atrium were associated with a higher likelihood of TR ≤2+ after M-TEER.

Abstract
Background Malnutrition is associated with poor prognosis in several cardiovascular diseases. However, its prognostic impact in patients undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) is not well known. This study sought to assess the prevalence, clinical associations, and prognostic consequences of malnutrition in patients undergoing TEER. Methods and Results A total of 892 patients undergoing TEER from the international MIVNUT (Mitral Valve Repair and Nutritional Status) registry were studied. Malnutrition status was assessed with the Controlling Nutritional Status score. The association of nutritional status with mortality was analyzed with multivariable Cox regression models, whereas the association with heart failure admission was assessed by Fine-Gray models, with death as a competing risk. According to the Controlling Nutritional Status score, 74.4% of patients with TEER had any degree of malnutrition at the time of TEER (75.1% in patients with body mass index <25 kg/m2, 72.1% in those with body mass index ≥25 kg/m2). However, only 20% had moderate-severe malnutrition. TEER was successful in most of patients (94.2%). During a median follow-up of 1.6 years (interquartile range, 0.6-3.0), 267 (29.9%) patients died and 256 patients (28.7%) were admitted for heart failure after TEER. Compared with normal nutritional status moderate-severe malnutrition resulted a strong predictor of mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR], 2.1 [95% CI, 1.1-2.4]; P<0.001) and heart failure admission (adjusted subdistribution HR, 1.6 [95% CI, 1.1-2.4]; P=0.015). Conclusions Malnutrition is common among patients submitted to TEER, and moderate-severe malnutrition is strongly associated with increased mortality and heart failure readmission. Assessment of nutritional status in these patients may help to improve risk stratification.

Abstract
AIMS To investigate the role of left atrial (LA) volume index in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) undergoing transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER). METHODS Outcomes were evaluated in SMR patients of a European multicenter registry according to baseline left atrial volume index (LAVi). Main analysis was performed for all-cause mortality; residual MR and NYHA class improvement were analyzed for patients available. RESULTS 1,074 patients were included with a median LAVi (interquartile range) of 58 ml/m2 (46-73). Postprocedural reduction of MR grade to ≤2+ was similar across LAVi quintiles, ranging 91%-96% (p=0.26). Symptomatic benefit (≥1 NYHA class improvement) also did not differ by LAVi quintiles (61%-68% of patients) (p=0.66). The risk of mortality increased by 23% to 42% in the four upper quintiles compared to the bottom quintile (LAVi <42ml/m2 ). The hazard ratio of mortality was 1.35 (95%-CI 1.02-1.78, p=0.035) associated with a LAVi >42ml/m2 , which was attenuated after multivariable adjustment (1.18, 95%-CI 0.83-1.67, p=0.36). A significant interaction was found for MR severity and pulmonary hypertension, with an increased risk of death associated with enlarged LAVi in patients with inframedian effective regurgitation orifice area (EROA, HR 1.99, 95%-CI 1.06-3.74, p=0.032) and in patients with systolic pulmonary pressure ≤50 mmHg (HR 1.67, 95%-CI 1.02-2.75, p=0.042) in multivariable analysis. CONCLUSION Procedural success and symptomatic benefit were high throughout the whole range of LAVi. The prognostic impact of LA enlargement was relevant in patients with less severe SMR and without pulmonary hypertension, reinforcing the need to identify patients in the early course of backward congestion to achieve good long-term outcome after TEER.

Abstract
The multi-scale dynamics of aqueous solutions of the hydrophilic peptide N-acetyl-glycine-methylamide (NAGMA) have been investigated through extended frequency-range depolarized light scattering (EDLS), which enables the broad-band detection of collective polarizability anisotropy fluctuations. The results have been compared to those obtained for N-acetyl-leucinemethylamide (NALMA), an amphiphilic peptide which shares with NAGMA the same polar backbone, but also contains an apolar group. Our study indicates that the two model peptides induce similar effects on the fast translational dynamics of surrounding water. Both systems slow down the mobility of solvating water molecules by a factor 6–8, with respect to the bulk. Moreover, the two peptides cause a comparable far-reaching spatial perturbation extending to more than two hydration layers in diluted conditions. The observed concentration dependence of the hydration number is explained considering the random superposition of different hydration shells, while no indication of solute aggregation phenomena has been found. The results indicate that the effect on the dynamics of water solvating the amphiphilic peptide is dominated by the hydrophilic backbone. The minor impact of the hydrophobic moiety on hydration features is consistent with structural findings derived by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) measurements, performed in attenuated total reflectance (ATR) configuration. Additionally, we give evidence that, for both systems, the relaxation mode in the GHz frequency range probed by EDLS is related to solute rotational dynamics. The rotation of NALMA occurs at higher timescales, with respect to the rotation of NAGMA; both processes are significantly slower than the structural dynamics of hydration water, suggesting that solute and solvent motions are uncoupled. Finally, our results do not indicate the presence of super-slow water (relaxation times in the order of tens of picoseconds) around the peptides investigated.

Abstract
Background: Acute myocarditis (AM) is thought to be a rare cardiovascular complication of COVID-19, although minimal data are available beyond case reports. We aim to report the prevalence, baseline characteristics, in-hospital management, and outcomes for patients with COVID-19–associated AM on the basis of a retrospective cohort from 23 hospitals in the United States and Europe. Methods: A total of 112 patients with suspected AM from 56 963 hospitalized patients with COVID-19 were evaluated between February 1, 2020, and April 30, 2021. Inclusion criteria were hospitalization for COVID-19 and a diagnosis of AM on the basis of endomyocardial biopsy or increased troponin level plus typical signs of AM on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. We identified 97 patients with possible AM, and among them, 54 patients with definite/probable AM supported by endomyocardial biopsy in 17 (31.5%) patients or magnetic resonance imaging in 50 (92.6%). We analyzed patient characteristics, treatments, and outcomes among all COVID-19–associated AM. Results: AM prevalence among hospitalized patients with COVID-19 was 2.4 per 1000 hospitalizations considering definite/probable and 4.1 per 1000 considering also possible AM. The median age of definite/probable cases was 38 years, and 38.9% were female. On admission, chest pain and dyspnea were the most frequent symptoms (55.5% and 53.7%, respectively). Thirty-one cases (57.4%) occurred in the absence of COVID-19–associated pneumonia. Twenty-one (38.9%) had a fulminant presentation requiring inotropic support or temporary mechanical circulatory support. The composite of in-hospital mortality or temporary mechanical circulatory support occurred in 20.4%. At 120 days, estimated mortality was 6.6%, 15.1% in patients with associated pneumonia versus 0% in patients without pneumonia (P=0.044). During hospitalization, left ventricular ejection fraction, assessed by echocardiography, improved from a median of 40% on admission to 55% at discharge (n=47; P<0.0001) similarly in patients with or without pneumonia. Corticosteroids were frequently administered (55.5%). Conclusions: AM occurrence is estimated between 2.4 and 4.1 out of 1000 patients hospitalized for COVID-19. The majority of AM occurs in the absence of pneumonia and is often complicated by hemodynamic instability. AM is a rare complication in patients hospitalized for COVID-19, with an outcome that differs on the basis of the presence of concomitant pneumonia.

Abstract
AIM Echo-derived haemodynamic classification, based on forward-flow and left ventricular (LV) filling pressure (LVFP) correlates, has been proposed to phenotype patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). To assess the prognostic relevance of baseline echocardiographically defined haemodynamic profile in ambulatory HFrEF patients before starting sacubitril/valsartan. METHODS AND RESULTS In our multicentre, open-label study, HFrEF outpatients were classified into 4 groups according to the combination of forward flow (cardiac index; CI:< or ≥2.0 L/min/m2 ) and early transmitral Doppler velocity/early diastolic annular velocity ratio (E/e': ≥ or <15): Profile-A: normal-flow, normal-pressure; Profile-B: low-flow, normal-pressure; Profile-C: normal-flow, high-pressure; Profile-D: low-flow, high-pressure. Patients were started on sacubitril/valsartan and followed-up for 12.3 months (median). Rates of the composite of death/HF-hospitalization were assessed by multivariable Cox proportional-hazards models. Twelve sites enrolled 727 patients (64 ± 12 year old; LVEF: 29.8 ± 6.2%). Profile-D had more comorbidities and worse renal and LV function. Target dose of sacubitril/valsartan (97/103 mg BID) was more likely reached in Profile-A (34%) than other profiles (B: 32%, C: 24%, D: 28%, P < 0.001). Event-rate (per 100 patients per year) progressively increased from Profile-A to Profile-D (12.0%, 16.4%, 22.9%, and 35.2%, respectively, P < 0.0001). By covariate-adjusted Cox model, profiles with low forward-flow (B and D) remained associated with poor outcome (P < 0.01). Adding this categorization to MAGGIC-score and natriuretic peptides, provided significant continuous net reclassification improvement (0.329; P < 0.001). Intermediate and high-dose sacubitril/valsartan reduced the event's risk independently of haemodynamic profile. CONCLUSIONS Echocardiographically-derived haemodynamic classification identifies ambulatory HFrEF patients with different risk profiles. In real-world HFrEF outpatients, sacubitril/valsartan is effective in improving outcome across different haemodynamic profiles.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Risk stratification for transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) is paramount in the decision-making process for treating severe mitral regurgitation (MR). OBJECTIVES This study sought to create and validate a user-friendly score (MitraScore) to predict the risk of mortality in patients undergoing TEER. METHODS The derivation cohort was based on a multicentric international registry that included 1,119 patients referred for TEER between 2012 and 2020. Score discrimination was assessed using Harrell's c-statistic, and the calibration was evaluated with the Gronnesby and Borgan goodness-of-fit test. An external validation was carried out in 725 patients from the GIOTTO registry. RESULTS After multivariate analysis, we identified 8 independent predictors of mortality during the follow-up (2.1 ± 1.8 years): age ≥75 years, anemia, glomerular filtrate rate <60 mL/min/1.73 m2, left ventricular ejection fraction <40%, peripheral artery disease, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease, high diuretic dose, and no therapy with renin-angiotensin system inhibitors. The MitraScore was derived by assigning 1 point to each independent predictor. The c-statistic was 0.70. Per each point of the MitraScore, the relative risk of mortality increased by 55% (HR: 1.55; 95% CI: 1.44-1.67; P < 0.001). The discrimination and calibration for mortality prediction was better than those of EuroSCORE II (c-statistic 0.61) or Society of Thoracic Surgeons score (c-statistic 0.57). The MitraScore maintained adequate performance in the validation cohort (c-statistic 0.66). The score was also predictive for heart failure rehospitalization and was correlated with the probability of clinical improvement. CONCLUSIONS The MitraScore is a simple prediction algorithm for the prediction of follow-up mortality in patients treated with TEER.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Procedural success after transcatheter edge-to-edge mitral valve repair (TEER) is defined as a reduction of mitral regurgitation (MR) degree to <moderate (2+). However, post-procedural MR 0/1+ was found to be associated with a better outcome and a lower rate of MR recurrence compared to post-procedural MR 2+. AIM To evaluate predictors and prognostic impact of optimal procedural result (MR 0/1+) after TEER. METHODS The Italian Society of Interventional Cardiology (GIse) Registry of Transcatheter Treatment of Mitral Valve RegurgitaTiOn (GIOTTO) is a large multicenter registry including patients undergoing TEER in 19 Italian centers between January 2016 and March 2020. For the purpose of this analysis, only patients with secondary MR and successful TEER were included. RESULTS Among 950 patients enrolled, 637 (67%) had an optimal procedural result (MR 0/1+) and 313 (33%) had an acceptable procedural result (MR 2+) after TEER. Moderate-to-severe, rather than severe, MR, left ventricular end-systolic diameter <70 mm at baseline, and treatment in centers performing ≥20 procedures/year were independent predictors of the optimal procedural result. Compared to patients with acceptable procedural result, those with optimal result had shorter device time and length of stay and better outcomes with lower rates of all-cause and cardiac deaths (25.7% vs. 40%, p < 0.001 and 16.3% vs. 24.8%, p = 0.003, respectively) and HF hospitalizations (24% vs. 30%; p = 0.035) at 2-year follow-up. CONCLUSIONS In patients with secondary MR undergoing TEER, an optimal procedural result is associated with favorable outcomes and can be achieved by selecting patients with moderate-to-severe MR, without severe left ventricular dilatation, and treated in high-volume centers. CLASSIFICATIONS: mitral regurgitation, mitral valve repair, chronic heart failure.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Sacubitril/valsartan improves outcome in patients with heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular (LV) ejection fraction (EF, HFrEF). However, little is known about possible mechanisms underlying this favourable effect. PURPOSE To assess changes in echocardiographically-derived hemodynamic profiles induced by sacubitril/valsartan and their impact on outcome. METHODS In this multicenter, open-label study, 727 HFrEF outpatients underwent comprehensive echocardiography at baseline (before starting sacubitril/valsartan) and after 12 months. Estimated LV filling pressure (E/e') and cardiac index (CI, l/min/m2) were combined to determine 4 hemodynamic profiles: profile-A (normal-flow/normal-pressure); profile-B (low-flow/normal-pressure); profile-C: (normal-flow/high-pressure); profile-D: (low-flow/high-pressure). Changes among categories were recorded, and their associations with rates of the composite of death/HF-hospitalization were assessed by multivariable Cox analysis. RESULTS At baseline, 29% had profile-A, 15% had profile-B, 32% profile-C, and 24% profile-D. After 12 months, the hemodynamic profile improved in 53% of patients (all profile-A achievers, or profile-D patients achieving either C or B profile), while it remained unchanged in 39% patients and worsened in 9%. Prevalence of improved profile progressively increased with increasing dose of sacubitril/valsartan (P < 0.0001). After the second echocardiography, patients were followed up 12.6 ± 7.6 months: event-rate was lower in patients with improved profile (12.3%, 95%CI: 9.4-16.1) compared to patients in whom hemodynamic profile remained unchanged (29.9%, 24.0-37.3) or worsened (31.2%, 20.7-46.9, P < 0.0001). Improved hemodynamic profile was associated with favourable outcome independent of LVEF and other covariates (HR 0.65, 95%CI: 0.45-0.95, P < 0.05). CONCLUSION In HFrEF patients, the beneficial prognostic effects of sacubitril/valsartan are associated with improvement in hemodynamic conditions.

Abstract
AIMS Controversial data have been published regarding the prognostic role of cardiac troponins in patients who need hospitalization because of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). The aim of the study was to assess the role of high-sensitivity troponin plasma levels and of respiratory function at admission on all-cause deaths in unselected patients hospitalized because of COVID-19. METHODS We pooled individual patient data from observational studies that assessed all-cause mortality of unselected patients hospitalized for COVID-19. The individual data of 722 patients were included. The ratio of partial pressure arterial oxygen to fraction of inspired oxygen (PaO2/FiO2) and high-sensitivity troponins was reported at admission in all patients. This meta-analysis was registered on PROSPERO (CRD42020213209). RESULTS After a median follow-up of 14 days, 180 deaths were observed. At multivariable regression analysis, age [hazard ratio (HR) 1.083, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.061-1.105, P < 0.0001], male sex (HR 2.049, 95% CI 1.319-3.184, P = 0.0014), moderate-severe renal dysfunction (estimated glomerular filtration rate < 30 mL/min/m2) (HR 2.108, 95% CI 1.237-3.594, P = 0.0061) and lower PaO2/FiO2 (HR 0.901, 95% CI 0.829-0.978, P = 0.0133) were the independent predictors of death. A linear increase in the HR was associated with decreasing values of PaO2/FiO2 below the normality threshold. On the contrary, the HR curve for troponin plasma levels was near-flat with large CI for values above the normality thresholds. CONCLUSION In unselected patients hospitalized for COVID-19, mortality is mainly driven by male gender, older age and respiratory failure. Elevated plasma levels of high-sensitivity troponins are not an independent predictor of worse survival when respiratory function is accounted for.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Since the beginning of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic, literature data are progressively accumulating, attesting to the possible prognostic role of cardiac troponins in patients who need hospitalization because of COVID-19 infection.
Purpose
To assess whether myocardial injury (measured by high sensitivity troponins) is an independent cause of disease severity and prognosis.
Methods
We performed a patient-level metanalysis (PROSPERO ID: CRD42020213209) in unselected patients hospitalized because of COVID-19 infection in whom the severity of respiratory failure was also evaluated at admission. To allow for comparison, troponin values were normalized to their threshold levels to obtain a normalized troponin (nTn) value which was used as a continuous variable in all analysis.
Results
A total of 722 patients were included in the analysis. Of note, patients who had elevated troponins at hospital admission had a significantly lower oxygenation status than those with normal nTn (PaO2/FiO2 232±215 vs. 276±124 mmHg/%; p<0.001). On the contrary, those with cardiovascular comorbidities had similar PaO2/FiO2 but higher nTn than those without (5.6817 vs. 2.1110 ng/mL; p=0.002).
After a median follow-up of 14 days, 180 deaths were observed. At multivariable regression analysis, age, male sex, moderate-severe renal dysfunction (eGFR <30 mL/min/m2) and lower PaO2/FiO2, were independent predictor of death (igure 1). The restricted cubic spline curves in Figure 2A and 2B show the hazard ratios (HRs) and 95% confidence interval for death according to nTn and PaO2/FiO2 levels as continuous variables. A linear increase in the HR is observed with lower PaO2/FiO2 values below the normal value of 300. On the contrary, the nTn spline curve is near-flat with large confidence interval for values above the normality thresholds.
Conclusion
In patients hospitalized for COVID-19, mortality is mainly driven by gender, age and respiratory failure while myocardial damage is not an independent predictor of worse survival when respiratory function is accounted for.

Abstract
We perform molecular dynamics simulations with the TIP4P/Ice water model to characterize the relationship between dynamics and thermodynamics of liquid water in the supercooled region. We calculate the relevant properties of the phase diagram, and we find that TIP4P/Ice presents a retracing line of density maxima, similar to what was previously found for atomistic water models and models of other tetrahedral liquids. For this model, a liquid-liquid critical point between a high-density liquid and a low-density liquid was recently found. We compute the lines of the maxima of isothermal compressibility and the minima of the coefficient of thermal expansion in the one phase region, and we show that these lines point to the liquid-liquid critical point while collapsing on the Widom line. This line is the line of the maxima of correlation length that emanates from a second order critical point in the one phase region. Supercooled water was found to follow mode coupling theory and to undergo a transition from a fragile to a strong behavior right at the crossing of the Widom line. We find here that this phenomenology also happens for TIP4P/Ice. Our results appear, therefore, to be a general characteristic of supercooled water, which does not depend on the interaction potential used, and they reinforce the idea that the dynamical crossover from a region where the relaxation mechanism is dominated by cage relaxation to a region where cages are frozen and hopping dominates is correlated in water to a phase transition between a high-density liquid and a low-density liquid.

Abstract
AIMS In patients with heart failure and reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR), impaired right ventricular function (RVF) may negatively influence the prognosis. Percutaneous mitral valve repair (pMVR) can promote the recovery of RVF. We sought to characterize the response of the right ventricle to pMVR in HFrEF with SMR and to assess the association between improved RVF after pMVR and outcomes. METHODS AND RESULTS Overall, 221 patients with HFrEF and SMR ≥3+ successfully treated with pMVR in four tertiary care centres for heart failure were included. Improved RVF was defined as Δ right ventricular fractional area change (ΔRVFAC) ≥5% at early follow-up (median time 4 months). The primary endpoint was a composite of death/heart transplantation (D/HT). Mean age was 69 ± 11 years, mean left ventricular ejection fraction was 31 ± 8% and mean RVFAC was 34 ± 9%. ΔRVFAC ≥5% occurred in 88 patients (40%) and was independent of the measures of left ventricular reverse remodelling. During a median follow-up of 29 months (interquartile range 12-46), 81 patients (37%) reached the primary endpoint. After adjustment for other significant covariates, ΔRVFAC ≥5% was significantly associated with lower risk of D/HT (hazard ratio 0.52, 95% confidence interval 0.29-0.94, P = 0.030). In the secondary outcome analysis exploring the risk of heart failure hospitalizations, ΔRVFAC ≥5% confirmed the prognostic association with the endpoint. CONCLUSIONS In patients with HFrEF and SMR, about 40% of patients improved RVF after pMVR. RVF improvement was associated with better long-term survival free from HT and lower risk of heart failure hospitalization.

Abstract
Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction and tricuspid regurgitation (TR) are known to be associated with adverse outcomes in patients undergoing percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR). Although the effect of PMVR on left ventricular function is well known, data on the response of the right ventricle to PMVR, and its impact on prognosis, are limited. In this review the authors summarize available data regarding the prognostic role of RV function and TR in PMVR recipients and the possible effects of PMVR on the right heart. Preprocedural tricuspid annular plane systolic excursion < 15 mm, tricuspid annular tissue Doppler S' velocity < 9.5 cm/sec, and moderate or severe TR are reported as predictors of adverse outcome after PMVR. Therefore, they should be carefully evaluated for patient selection. Moreover, emerging data show that the benefit of PMVR may go beyond the left heart, leading to an improvement in RV function and a reduction in TR severity. Among PMVR recipients, improvement in RV function and reduction of TR degree are observed mainly in patients with RV dysfunction at baseline. On the other hand, high postprocedural transmitral pressure gradients seem to be associated with lack of RV reverse remodeling. Timing of mitral intervention with respect to RV impairment and predictors of RV reverse remodeling after PMVR are unknown. Further studies are needed to fill these gaps in evidence.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of edge-to-edge PMVR on short and mid-term clinical outcomes in patients with CS and severe MR. BACKGROUND Severe mitral regurgitation (MR) in the setting of cardiogenic shock (CS) is associated with three times higher risk of 1-year mortality. In refractory CS, edge-to-edge percutaneous mitral valve repair (PMVR) can be a potential therapeutic option. METHODS We retrospectively included consecutive patients with refractory CS and concomitant severe MR treated with MitraClip® system. CS was defined according to the criteria used in the SHOCK trial and procedural success according to Mitral Valve Academic Research Consortium (MVARC) criteria. The 30-day and 6-month mortality were the primary and secondary endpoints respectively. RESULTS Thirty-one patients (median age 73 years [interquartile range, IQR 66-78], 25.8% female), STS mortality score 37.9 [IQR 30.4-42.4]), with CS and concomitant severe MR treated with edge-to-edge PMVR were retrospectively enrolled. Procedural success was 87.1%. Thirty-day and 6-month survival rates were 78.4 and 45.2% respectively. Univariate Cox Regression Model analysis showed that procedural success was a predictor of both 30-day (HR = 0.12, 95% CI 0.03-0.55, p < .01) and 6-month survival (HR = 0.22, 95% CI 0.06-0.84, p = .027). CONCLUSIONS Edge-to-edge PMVR in patients with CS and concomitant severe MR was associated with good procedural safety and success with acceptable short and mid-term survival rates. It could be considered a bailout option in this setting of patients.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate whether fulfilling COAPT (Cardiovascular Outcomes Assessment of the MitraClip Percutaneous Therapy for Heart Failure Patients With Functional Mitral Regurgitation) criteria identifies patients with better outcomes after MitraClip treatment for secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR). BACKGROUND To date, COAPT is the only trial showing a prognostic benefit of MitraClip implantation compared with conservative management. METHODS Three hundred four patients with SMR undergoing MitraClip placement in addition to optimal medical therapy at 3 European centers were analyzed. A COAPT-like profile was defined as absence of all the following criteria: severe left ventricular impairment, moderate to severe right ventricular dysfunction, severe tricuspid regurgitation, severe pulmonary hypertension, and hemodynamic instability. Freedom from all-cause death and from a composite endpoint (cardiovascular death and heart failure hospitalization) were evaluated at 2- and 5-year follow-up. RESULTS A COAPT-like profile was observed in 65% of the population. Compared with non-COAPT-like patients, those fulfilling COAPT criteria had greater survival free from all-cause death and from the composite endpoint at both 2 year (75% vs. 55% and 67% vs. 47%; p < 0.001 for both) and 5-year (49% vs. 25% and 40% vs. 19%; p < 0.001 for both) follow-up. Among the non-COAPT-like patients, similar outcomes were observed in those fulfilling 1 or ≥1 criterion. Left ventricular impairment had a late impact on outcomes, while right ventricular impairment, pulmonary hypertension, and hemodynamic instability had early effects. COAPT-like profile was an independent predictor of long-term outcomes, as well as administration of neurohormonal antagonists, European System for Cardiac Operative Risk Evaluation II score, and previous heart failure hospitalization. CONCLUSIONS A COAPT-like profile, including specific echocardiographic and clinical criteria, identifies patients with SMR who have a better prognosis after MitraClip implantation.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the prognostic role of heart failure (HF) history in patients with secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) underwent MitraClip. We retrospectively analyzed 186 patients with SMR undergoing MitraClip at 4 centres. HF history was defined as number or days of HF hospitalizations in the 12-month before MitraClip, or as time from last HF hospitalization to MitraClip, or time between first SMR diagnosis and MitraClip. More severe symptoms were observed in patients with >1 HF hospitalization compared with those with ≤1 HF hospitalizations, in those with ≥10 days versus <10 days of HF hospitalization and in those with shortest time from the last HF hospitalization. No significant differences were observed for procedural data in the population stratified according to the different definitions. In variables related with HF history, only the number of HF hospitalizations before MitraClip was associated with an increased risk of clinical events (hazard ratio 1.59; 95% confidence interval [1.09 to 2.12]; p = 0.015), whereas days of previous HF hospitalization, time from last HF hospitalization and from first diagnosis of SMR do not impact on prognosis. A significant decrease in the number and days of HF hospitalizations was observed in the 12-month after MitraClip compared with the 12-month before. In conclusion, in variables related with HF history, recurrence (>1) of HF hospitalizations before MitraClip was the most powerful predictor of prognosis. Latency of intervention did not affect outcomes.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
In the last years prognosis of cancer patients (pts) has been improved, but the develop of cardiotoxicity (CTX) in pts with low CV risk treated with cumulative doses of Anthracycline (ANT) considered safe, led to investigate the possible role of the genetic profile in the onset of CTX.
Purpose
To study the role of some single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) as predictive genetic markers of individual susceptibility to CTX induced by anticancer treatment.
Methods
We have enrolled women with non-metastatic breast cancer who had to start a therapy with ANT. The presence of a known heart disease, a previous mediastinal irradiation and a previous treatment with ANT, were the main exclusion criteria. All pts underwent complete cardiological evaluation (ECG, echo) before the beginning of the therapy (T0), after each ANT cycle and every 3 months up to 1 year of follow-up after the end of treatment. During each visit, we performed the determination of troponin I (TnI) and NT-proBNP. The genetic profile of each pts was also investigated, analyzing 6 SNPs belonging to 3 different genes (two for each genes) coding for enzymes or enzyme systems involved in the metabolism of ANT. DNA extraction from blood samples was performed using the QIAamp DNA Mini kit (QIAGEN). The DNA extracted was genotyped (by performing TaqMan SNP Genotyping assays) identifying 3 possible variants for each SNPs: homozygosity for the protective and “at risk” variant and heterozygosity.
Results
179 pts finished the follow-up and from the analysis of the trend of biomarkers we found that 53 pts (30%) showed a significant increase in TnI (>0.04ng/mL) or less than this cut-off but persistently >0.015ng/mL in at least 2 measurements (“TnI+ group”), in the remaining 126 pts the TnI remained non-measurable (“TnI− group”); 76 pts (43%) showed NT-proBNP values ≥125 ng/L in at least two consecutive determinations (“NT-proBNP + group”),in the remaining 57% of pts this increase was not detected (“NT-proBNP - group”). Comparing “TnI+ group” to “TnI− group” we observed that only the genotyping of the SNPs rs1149222 (G/T) belonging to the ABCB4 gene is distributed differently in the two groups, in particular the homozygosity for the “at risk” variant (G/G) was present in 13% of the pts of the “TnI+ group” vs 5% in the “TnI− group” (p 0.06). The results of the comparison of “NT-proBNP+ group” vs “NT-proBNP− group”, showed that the genotyping of the SNPs rs6759892 (G/T) belonging to the UGT1A6 gene was distributed differently, the homozygosity for the “at risk” variant (G/G) was present in 28% of the “NT-proBNP+ group” vs 17% in the “NT-proBNP− group” (p 0.07).
Conclusion
Together with the baseline clinical evaluation, genetic markers could contribute to the early identification of pts at high risk of developing CTX especially following treatment with ANT and they could support future therapeutic decisions and the planning of taylored strategies for the prevention of the CTX development.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to report the prevalence, clinical features and outcomes of patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) hospitalized during the Corona-Virus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak compared with those admitted in a previous equivalent period. METHODS AND RESULTS Eighty-five patients admitted for STEMI at a high-volume Italian centre were included. Patients hospitalized during the COVID-19 outbreak (21 February-10 April 2020) (40%) were compared with those admitted in pre-COVID-19 period (3 January-20 February 2020) (60%). A 43% reduction in STEMI admissions was observed during the COVID-19 outbreak compared with the previous period. Time from symptom onset to first medical contact (FMC) and time from FMC to primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PPCI) were longer in patients admitted during the COVID-19 period compared with before [148 (79-781) versus 130 (30-185) min; P = 0.018, and 75 (59-148)] versus 45 (30-70) min; P < 0.001]. High-sensitive troponin T levels on admission were also higher. In-hospital mortality was 12% in the COVID-19 phase versus 6% in the pre-COVID-19 period. Incidence of the composite end-point, including free-wall rupture, severe left ventricular dysfunction, left ventricular aneurysm, severe mitral regurgitation and pericardial effusion, was higher during the COVID-19 than the pre-COVID-19 period (19.6 versus 41.2%; P = 0.030; odds ratio = 2.87; 95% confidence interval 1.09-7.58). CONCLUSION The COVID-19 pandemic had a significant impact on the STEMI care system reducing hospital admissions and prolonging revascularization time. This translated into a worse patient prognosis due to more STEMI complications.

Abstract
Importance Virus infection has been widely described as one of the most common causes of myocarditis. However, less is known about the cardiac involvement as a complication of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection. Objective To describe the presentation of acute myocardial inflammation in a patient with coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) who recovered from the influenzalike syndrome and developed fatigue and signs and symptoms of heart failure a week after upper respiratory tract symptoms. Design, Setting, and Participant This case report describes an otherwise healthy 53-year-old woman who tested positive for COVID-19 and was admitted to the cardiac care unit in March 2020 for acute myopericarditis with systolic dysfunction, confirmed on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging, the week after onset of fever and dry cough due to COVID-19. The patient did not show any respiratory involvement during the clinical course. Exposure Cardiac involvement with COVID-19. Main Outcomes and Measures Detection of cardiac involvement with an increase in levels of N-terminal pro-brain natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) and high-sensitivity troponin T, echocardiography changes, and diffuse biventricular myocardial edema and late gadolinium enhancement on cardiac magnetic resonance imaging. Results An otherwise healthy 53-year-old white woman presented to the emergency department with severe fatigue. She described fever and dry cough the week before. She was afebrile but hypotensive; electrocardiography showed diffuse ST elevation, and elevated high-sensitivity troponin T and NT-proBNP levels were detected. Findings on chest radiography were normal. There was no evidence of obstructive coronary disease on coronary angiography. Based on the COVID-19 outbreak, a nasopharyngeal swab was performed, with a positive result for SARS-CoV-2 on real-time reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction assay. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging showed increased wall thickness with diffuse biventricular hypokinesis, especially in the apical segments, and severe left ventricular dysfunction (left ventricular ejection fraction of 35%). Short tau inversion recovery and T2-mapping sequences showed marked biventricular myocardial interstitial edema, and there was also diffuse late gadolinium enhancement involving the entire biventricular wall. There was a circumferential pericardial effusion that was most notable around the right cardiac chambers. These findings were all consistent with acute myopericarditis. She was treated with dobutamine, antiviral drugs (lopinavir/ritonavir), steroids, chloroquine, and medical treatment for heart failure, with progressive clinical and instrumental stabilization. Conclusions and Relevance This case highlights cardiac involvement as a complication associated with COVID-19, even without symptoms and signs of interstitial pneumonia.

Abstract
AIMS The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic role of echocardiographic parameters assessing secondary mitral regurgitation (SMR) severity and left ventricular dimension, including proportionate versus disproportionate SMR, in MitraClip recipients. METHODS AND RESULTS We analysed 137 patients undergoing MitraClip implantation for SMR at three centres. SMR was classified as proportionate or disproportionate based on the median value of the ratio between effective regurgitant orifice area (EROA) and left ventricular end-diastolic volume (LVEDV). The primary endpoint was a composite of cardiovascular mortality and heart failure hospitalisation at two-year follow-up. Mean age was 70±10 years, 80% were male, and median EuroSCORE II was 5.7%. No differences were observed in the disproportionate compared to the proportionate group except for a more severe NYHA class and their expected higher EROA and lower LVEDV. Number of clips deployed, device success and procedural success were similar between the two groups. Residual mitral regurgitation (MR) >1+ at 30 days was more common among patients with an EROA >0.42 cm2 compared to those with an EROA ≤0.42 cm2 (81.3% vs 58%; p=0.004). The relative risk of the primary endpoint was independent from any echocardiographic parameter, including the presence of disproportionate SMR. The only independent predictors of clinical events were EuroSCORE II >8%, NYHA class and residual MR >1+ at 30 days. CONCLUSIONS Echocardiographic parameters, including the EROA/LVEDV ratio, do not have independent prognostic value in patients undergoing MitraClip implantation. High surgical risk, advanced symptoms and non-optimal MR reduction increase the relative risk of two-year clinical events.

Abstract
Aims To compare demographic characteristics, clinical presentation, and outcomes of patients with and without concomitant cardiac disease, hospitalized for COVID-19 in Brescia, Lombardy, Italy. Methods and results The study population includes 99 consecutive patients with COVID-19 pneumonia admitted to our hospital between 4 March and 25 March 2020. Fifty-three patients with a history of cardiac disease were compared with 46 without cardiac disease. Among cardiac patients, 40% had a history of heart failure, 36% had atrial fibrillation, and 30% had coronary artery disease. Mean age was 67 ± 12 years, and 80 (81%) patients were males. No differences were found between cardiac and non-cardiac patients except for higher values of serum creatinine, N-terminal probrain natriuretic peptide, and high sensitivity troponin T in cardiac patients. During hospitalization, 26% patients died, 15% developed thrombo-embolic events, 19% had acute respiratory distress syndrome, and 6% had septic shock. Mortality was higher in patients with cardiac disease compared with the others (36% vs. 15%, log-rank P = 0.019; relative risk 2.35; 95% confidence interval 1.08–5.09). The rate of thrombo-embolic events and septic shock during the hospitalization was also higher in cardiac patients (23% vs. 6% and 11% vs. 0%, respectively). Conclusions Hospitalized patients with concomitant cardiac disease and COVID-19 have an extremely poor prognosis compared with subjects without a history of cardiac disease, with higher mortality, thrombo-embolic events, and septic shock rates. ![]()

Abstract
The increasing number of patients with heart failure HF and comorbidities is due to aging population and increase of life expectancy of patients with cardiovascular disease. Encouraging results derived by recent trials may suggest some comorbidities as new targets for new drugs, highlighting the need for a better understanding of the comorbidities' effects in HF patients and the need of a multidisciplinary approach for the management of chronic HF with comorbidities. We report a brief review about main cardiovascular and non-cardiovascular comorbidities in HF patients in order to update physicians and researchers engaged in the HF research or in "fight against heart failure."

Abstract
Alkaline phosphatase (ALP) is a ubiquitous enzyme in milk with timetemperature destruction similar to that of certain pathogens destroyed in pasteurization. Measurement of ALP to indicate proper pasteurization is a common practice. Recently the public health level for ALP was decreased to 350 mU/L, a level below the sensitivity of older colorimetric ALP methods. This study was conducted within the structure of the International Dairy Federation and the International Organization for Standardization to evaluate the reproducibility of the chemiluminescence method (Charm PasLite) for ALP at 50, 100, 350, and 500 mU/L in whole milk of multiple species to meet new regulations in the United States and proposed regulations in the European Union (EU). Fifteen laboratories from 8 countries evaluated bovine, goat, sheep, and buffalo milk, bovine skim milk, 20% fat cream, and 2% fat chocolate milk. At ALP levels of 350 and 500 mU/L, the average relative standard deviation for repeatability (RSDr) was 7.5%, and the average relative standard deviation of reproducibility was (RSDR) 15%. For ALP at 100 and 50 mU/L, the average RSDr values were 10.5 and 12.6%, respectively, and the average RSDR values were 18 and 25%, respectively. The limit of detection was 20 mU/L. Results are comparable to those obtained with other enzymatic photo-activated system methods such as the fluorometric method. Results indicate that the method is suitable for measuring ALP in the milk of multiple species and in dairy drinks at U.S. and proposed EU levels.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
despite good progress in the management of patients with atrial fibrillation (AF), this disease remains one of the major cause of stroke, heart failure, sudden death and cardiovascular morbidity. Screening for silent AF is recommended in high risk population, especially in elderly, but often it is not applied for the absence of medical prescriptions or long waiting times
Purpose
to evaluate the effectiveness of a remote monitoring through ECG Holter and 12-lead ECG provided by a network of pharmacies across the Country for the screening of AF
Methods
according to a Ministerial Decree, from 2010 authorized pharmacies may provide specialist outpatient care services. Health Telematic Network, in collaboration with our Cardiology University Department and Federfarma (National Association of Pharmacists), has installed in 4,008 authorized pharmacies across the Country a telematic network connected to a single Telemedicine platform where cardiologists were available for tele-consulting. In order to identify silent or symptomatic AF, 12-lead ECG and ECG Holter monitoring were performed in patients with episodes of palpitation, syncope or pre-syncope or with a history of AF. Informations regarding lenght of AF episodes, mean heart rate and anticoagulant therapy were collected
Results
From Jan 2017 to Dec 2018 a total of 31,156 ECG Holter monitoring were performed (46% male, mean age 61 years). Among these records, 2390 (8%) showed paroxysmal or persistent AF (53% male, mean age 77±10 years). The lenght of AF episodes was greater of 6 minutes in 14% cases and mean heart rate was greater of 90 bpm in 406 patients (17%). History of AF was not previously known in 669 patients (28%). None of this subgroup of patients and only 18% of patients with known paroxysmal AF were taking anticoagulant therapy. In the same period 196,349 ECG were performed (mean age 78 years) and 17,088 have been carried out in patients aged 65 years or older. Among these group of patients, 831 records showed unknown AF (5%): 356 (43%) high ventricular rate AF, 385 (46%) medium ventricular rate AF and 90 (11%) low ventricular rate AF. All the patients with unknown AF episodes or with frequent high ventricular rate AF episodes were referred to their General Practitioner or Cardiologist for urgent evaluation and therapeutic management.
Conclusion
our data confirm the important role of a single telematic network in which health care services can be provided timely by authorized pharmacies across all the Country to promote early diagnosis and treatment of AF, then resulting in a likely positive impact on related cardiovascular events

Abstract
Background
Fingolimod is an immunosuppressive drug that prevents the typical autoimmune responses of multiple sclerosis (MS). This drug can cause, even after the first dose, bradycardia and atrioventricular conduction block (AVB). According to a decree of the Committee for Medicinal Products for Human Use (CHMP), the first administration of a dose of fingolimod must meet the following conditions: a) 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG) and blood pressure (BP) evaluations before first dose administration; b) continuous ECG and BP monitoring every hour during the first 6 hours of treatment. The aim of the study was to evaluate the efficacy of our virtual Intensive Care Unit connected to selected Departments of Neurology for cardiology monitoring via web, during the first dose administration of fingolimod in patients with MS.
Methods
Health Telematic Network, in collaboration with our Cardiology Department, has installed in several Neurology Departments in the country intensive care equipment with real time monitoring via the web of ECG, BP and oximetry. The telemonitoring system is composed of an IntelliVue MP2 monitor, for 12-lead ECG recording, and by an IntelliVue Philips M3150 Central, for continuous remote monitoring of ECG and the detection and storage of arrhythmias. The HTN Cardiologist thus can evaluate in real time ECG monitored and each alarm detected.
Results
From Jan 2014 to Dec 2018, 172 sites participated and 6041 patients were enrolled. The telemonitoring system recognized 5116 episodes of bradycardia, 297 first degree AVB, 213 second degree AVB Mobitz I, 48 second degree AVB Mobitz II, 618 pathological lengthening of the QTc interval, single monomorphic ventricular ectopic beats in 266 patients, bigeminy ventricular extrasystoles in 15 patients and polymorphic ventricular extrasystoles in 3 cases. 6 cases of nonsustained ventricular tachycardia occurred and were recognized.
Conclusion
This web-based real time telemonitoring project was an optimal solution for the administration of the first dose of fingolimod, according to current indications of the CHMP. The RITMO project could lead the way for the use of a multidisciplinary approach for the management of new therapies.

Abstract
Mesophases have order intermediate between liquids and crystals and arise in systems with frustration, such as surfactants, block copolymers, and Janus nanoparticles. The gyroid mesophase contains two interpenetrated, nonintersecting chiral networks that give it properties useful for photonics. It is challenging to nucleate a gyroid from the liquid. Elucidating the reaction coordinate for gyroid nucleation could assist in designing additives that facilitate the formation of the mesophase. However, the complexity of the gyroid structure and the extreme weakness of the first-order liquid to gyroid transition make this a challenging quest. Here, we investigate the pathway and transition states for the nucleation of a gyroid from the liquid in molecular simulations with a mesogenic binary mixture. We find that the gyroid nuclei at the transition states have a large degree of positional disorder and are not compact, consistent with the low surface free energy of the liquid-gyroid interface. A combination of bond-order parameters for the minor component is best to describe the passage from liquid to gyroid, among those we consider. The committor analyses, however, show that this best coordinate is not perfect and suggests that accounting for the relative ordering of the two interpenetrated networks in infant nuclei, as well as for signatures of ordering in the major component of the mesophase, would improve the accuracy of the reaction coordinate for gyroid formation and its use to evaluate nucleation barriers. To our knowledge, this study is the first to investigate the reaction coordinate and critical nuclei for the formation of any mesophase from an amorphous phase.

Abstract
Sudden unexplained death due to cardiac arrest refers to a group of heterogeneous heart disorders characterized by sudden cessation of cardiac activity followed by hemodynamic collapse. It may be associated with structural heart disease or may occur in the absence of structural abnormalities. These inherited conditions increase the risk of sudden unexplained death in living relatives when there is a family history of sudden death. It is recommended to screen other family members of sudden unexplained death victims, as studies have revealed affected individuals in 40% of families.

Abstract
Graphitic surfaces are the main component of soot, a major constituent of atmospheric aerosols. Experiments indicate that soots of different origins display a wide range of abilities to heterogeneously nucleate ice. The ability of pure graphite to nucleate ice in experiments, however, seems to be almost negligible. Nevertheless, molecular simulations with the monatomic water model mW with water-carbon interactions parameterized to reproduce the experimental contact angle of water on graphite predict that pure graphite nucleates ice. According to classical nucleation theory, the ability of a surface to nucleate ice is controlled by the binding free energy between ice immersed in liquid water and the surface. To establish whether the discrepancy in freezing efficiencies of graphite in mW simulations and experiments arises from the coarse resolution of the model or can be fixed by reparameterization, it is important to elucidate the contributions of the water-graphite, water-ice, and ice-water interfaces to the free energy, enthalpy, and entropy of binding for both water and the model. Here we use thermodynamic analysis and free energy calculations to determine these interfacial properties. We demonstrate that liquid water at the graphite interface is not ice-like or vapor-like: it has similar free energy, entropy, and enthalpy as water in the bulk. The thermodynamics of the water-graphite interface is well reproduced by the mW model. We find that the entropy of binding between graphite and ice is positive and dominated, in both experiments and simulations, by the favorable entropy of reducing the ice-water interface. Our analysis indicates that the discrepancy in freezing efficiencies of graphite in experiments and the simulations with mW arises from the inability of the model to simultaneously reproduce the contact angle of liquid water on graphite and the free energy of the ice-graphite interface. This transferability issue is intrinsic to the resolution of the model, and arises from its lack of rotational degrees of freedom.
