TL;DR: The case of citalopram-induced long QT syndrome complicated by torsade de pointes in a young woman is reported, in whom the role for antihypertensive treatment with diuretics and intercurrent flu-like syndrome is discussed.

TL;DR: A case of atrial flutter, ventricular tachycardia and changing axis deviation in a 61-year-old Italian woman with scleroderma is presented and the underlying arrhythmogenic mechanisms are probably multiple and intriguing, even though the myocardial fibrosis and immunological autoantibody-mediated mechanisms seem to play a pivotal role.

TL;DR: A case of ST-segment elevation in a patient with diminution of PSA, coronary spasm and without significant coronary stenoses is presented and the evaluation of PPA during ACS is extended.

TL;DR: A case of chance finding at multislice computed tomography coronary angiography of an ectopic origin of the left circumflex coronary artery from the right sinus of Valsalva is reported, which confirms the full capability and accuracy of computed tomographic coronary Angiography in its adequate visualization.

TL;DR: A case of changing axis deviation in a 77-year-old Italian woman admitted to the Cardiology Unit with an acute myocardial infarction is presented and this case focuses attention on changing axis deviations and acuteMyocardial Infarction.

TL;DR: A case of subclinical hypothyroidism is presented in a 41-year-old Italian woman with an ubiquitary pericardial effusion and remains controversial, particularly as it relates to cardiovascular morbidity and mortality and clinical applications.

TL;DR: A case of cardioembolic stroke in a patient with an aortic mechanical prosthesis in bridging therapy with a standardized low molecular weight heparin-based regimen is presented.

TL;DR: A case of tricuspid regurgitation, mitral regurgitations, and patent foramen ovale in a 15-day-old newborn male infant with a history of perinatal asphyxia is described.

TL;DR: A case of myocarditis is presented in a 47-year-old woman with HIV associated cardiomyopathy, focussing attention on heart muscle involvement in HIV disease.

TL;DR: A case of echocardiographic finding of a main pulmonary artery aneurysm in a 78-year-old Italian woman is presented.

TL;DR: A case of a chance finding of an aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva in an 11-year-old Italian child with a ventricular septal defect and a pericardial effusion is presented.

TL;DR: A case of primary isolated pulmonary artery stenosis in an asymptomatic 11-year-old Italian woman where the diagnosis was made during a cardiovascular check-up is presented.

TL;DR: A case of recurrent PDA after the initial course of a pharmacological treatment is presented and this case focuses on recurrent Pda after theInitial Course of a Pharmacological treatment.

TL;DR: A case of the chance finding of a ventricular septal defect in a 2-day-old newborn infant with an interatrial sePTal aneurysm is presented.

TL;DR: A case of spontaneous closure of a muscular ventricular septal defect is presented and attention is focused on spontaneousclosure of a muscles-based defect.

TL;DR: A case of supraventricular tachycardia in a 45-year-old Italian woman with a clinically isolated demyelinating syndrome is presented and attention is focused on the presence of arrhythmias in the demYelinating syndromes.

TL;DR: A case of acute myocardial infarction with significant left main coronary artery stenosis, significant 3-vessel coronary artery disease and elevated troponin I at admission in an 83-year-old Italian woman is presented and attention is focused on the importance of the recognition of the patterns suspected for LMCA and/or 3- Vessel coronary disease.

TL;DR: This case is illustrative of the safety, feasibility and efficacy of the use of isometric HG exercise with DSE and on the fact that it improves diagnostic capacity of the test.

TL;DR: Adjunctive sustained submaximal HG to peak of dobutamine stress echocardiography (DSE) without atropine showed a potential improvement of its ability to detect physiologically significant stenoses.

TL;DR: An unusual case of lack of correlation of carotid Atherosclerosis and coronary atherosclerosis is presented and Renal function is an important predictor of the presence and severity of angiographic CAD in patients without severe renal impairment with incremental value over traditional risk factors.

TL;DR: A case of a dilated alcoholic cardiomyopathy in a 65-year-old man with chronic excessive consumption of alcohol is presented and attention is focused on dilated alcoholism.
