Journal ArticleDOI
Antibody profiles for the diagnosis of antiphospholipid syndrome.
Vittorio Pengo,Alessandra Biasiolo,Cinzia Pegoraro,Umberto Cucchini,Franco Noventa,Sabino Iliceto +5 more
TL;DR: Among the so called 'antiphospholipid antibodies', the presence of Lupus Anticoagulant (LA) is associated with thrombosis-related events and defines the antiphospholate syndrome and the role of anti-cardiolipin (aCL) antibodies and anti-human beta2-glycoprotein I (abeta2GPI) antibodies is less striking.
Journal ArticleDOI
New speckle-tracking algorithm for right ventricular volume analysis from three-dimensional echocardiographic data sets: validation with cardiac magnetic resonance and comparison with the previous analysis tool
Denisa Muraru,Veronica Spadotto,Antonella Cecchetto,Gabriella Romeo,Patrizia Aruta,Davide Ermacora,Csaba Jenei,Umberto Cucchini,Sabino Iliceto,Luigi P. Badano +9 more
TL;DR: Novel vendor-independent 3DE software enables an accurate, reproducible and faster quantitation of RV volumes and ejection fraction and is relevant for echocardiography laboratories aiming to implement 3DE for RV analysis for both research and clinical purposes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sex- and Method-Specific Reference Values for Right Ventricular Strain by 2-Dimensional Speckle-Tracking Echocardiography
Denisa Muraru,Sebastian Onciul,Diletta Peluso,Nicola Soriani,Umberto Cucchini,Patrizia Aruta,Gabriella Romeo,Giacomo Cavalli,Sabino Iliceto,Luigi P. Badano +9 more
TL;DR: This is the largest study providing sex- and method-specific reference values for RVLS and may foster the implementation of 2-dimensional speckle-tracking echocardiography–derived RV analysis in clinical practice.
Journal ArticleDOI
Standardized Low–Molecular-Weight Heparin Bridging Regimen in Outpatients on Oral Anticoagulants Undergoing Invasive Procedure or Surgery An Inception Cohort Management Study
Vittorio Pengo,Umberto Cucchini,Gentian Denas,Nicoletta Erba,Giuliana Guazzaloca,L. La Rosa,V. De Micheli,Sophie Testa,R. Frontoni,Domenico Prisco,Giovanni Nante,S. Iliceto +11 more
TL;DR: Major bleeding was associated with twice-daily low–molecular-weight heparin administration (high-risk patients) but not with the bleeding risk of the procedure, and safety in patients with mechanical prosthetic valves has not been conclusively established.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal Left Ventricular Mechanics by Two-dimensional Speckle-tracking Echocardiography. Reference Values in Healthy Adults
Gonenc Kocabay,Denisa Muraru,Diletta Peluso,Umberto Cucchini,Sorina Mihaila,Seena Padayattil-Jose,Denas Gentian,Sabino Iliceto,Dragos Vinereanu,Luigi P. Badano,Luigi P. Badano +10 more
TL;DR: It is found that women have more negative longitudinal strain, accounting for their higher left ventricular ejection fraction, and availability of reference values for these parameters may foster their implementation in the clinical routine.
