Right atrial strain in Anderson-Fabry disease.

Background: To date, only limited data are available on right atrium (RA) morphofunctional remodeling in Fabry disease (FD).

Purpose: We aimed to investigate RA structural and functional remodeling in patients with FD vs. healthy controls using 2D speckle tracking echocardiography (STE) and to explore whether any differences exist in FD patients with and without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH).

Clinical impact of multiple resheathing during transcatheter aortic valve implantation with Evolut self-expanding valves.

Background: The possibility to resheath some transcatheter heart valves (THV) facilitates the optimization of self-expandable devices implantation. However, resheating manoeuvres (expecially when repeated) increase the interaction between the transcatheter prosthesis and the patient's tissues potentially causing side-effects.

Aims: To assess the clinical outcomes of resheathing at midterm follow-up with a focus on the safety of multiple resheathing.
