Antiplatelet Therapy in Myocardial Bridge: Insights From the RIALTO Registry.
J Am Heart Assoc
July 2025
Department of Translational Medicine Università del Piemonte Orientale, Division of Cardiology, AOU Maggiore della Carità Novara Italy.
Background: Myocardial bridge (MB) is a frequent coronary artery anomaly. The aims of this study are to describe the use of antiplatelet therapy (APT) in a cohort of patients with MB and assess its impact on ischemic and bleeding events.
Methods: The RIALTO (Myocardial Bridge Evaluation Towards Personalized Medicine) registry (ID: NCT05111418) is an ambispective multicenter observational registry, enrolling patients with a clinical indication to coronary angiography and evidence of MB.
Catheter Ablation of Atrial Fibrillation in Patients With Psoriasis: A Multicenter Study.
J Am Heart Assoc
March 2025
Background: Psoriasis is linked to an increased risk of atrial fibrillation (AF). However, data on the electrophysiological substrate and outcomes of AF ablation in patients with psoriasis are lacking.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective, multicenter study involving 48 patients with psoriasis (median age, 66 years [56-72]; 79% male) and paroxysmal (n=25.
Microcalcifications (MC) are observed in various tissues and in relation to several diseases. For breast cancer, recent studies have reported differences in the nature of the MC and correlations to the degree of malignancy of the neoplasm. Here, investigations of benign, ductal carcinoma (DCIS) and invasive ductal carcinoma (IDC) breast MC using X-ray fluorescence, X-ray absorption spectroscopy and wide-angle X-ray scattering are reported.

Raman spectroscopy (RS) stands out as a promising technique for monitoring blood biochemical profiles, with the potential to identify distinct signatures identifying CRC subjects. We performed RS analysis on dried plasma from 120 subjects: 32 CRC patients, 37 IBD patients, 20 DD patients, and 31 healthy controls.

Article Synopsis
- Minimally invasive mitral valve repair using the MitraClip device shows beneficial outcomes in patients with significant mitral regurgitation, including those who have had prior valve repairs.
- A study involving 2,238 patients highlighted that while device and procedural success rates are slightly lower for those with previous valve procedures, overall outcomes such as death and rehospitalization rates remain similar across groups.
- The findings suggest that transcatheter edge-to-edge repair is a viable option for carefully selected patients even after previous mitral valve interventions.
