Factor XI inhibition in cardiovascular medicine: current evidence and future clinical perspectives
Anticoagulation plays a central role in the prevention and treatment of thromboembolic complications in cardiovascular disease. Although currently available anticoagulants targeting thrombin or factor Xa have substantially improved clinical outcomes, their use remains limited by an increased risk…

The relationship between obesity and atrial fibrillation: pathophysiological background and therapeutic perspectives
Obesity is currently regarded as a chronic disease that leads to dysfunction of multiple organs and tissues and increases the risk of developing hundreds of other conditions, including cardiovascular diseases. The aim of this narrative review is to summarize the pathophysiological links between…

Left atrial appendage closure – State of the art
Oral anticoagulation, preferably with direct oral anticoagulants, remains the cornerstone of thromboembolic prevention in patients with atrial fibrillation. However, long-term anticoagulation may be contraindicated, poorly tolerated, associated with recurrent bleeding, or clinically unsustainable…

Left bundle branch area pacing: A practical framework for differentiating conduction system capture from septal myocardial activation
Left bundle branch area pacing (LBBAP), including a wide a spectrum of capture types: left bundle branch pacing (LBBP), left fascicular pacing, and left ventricular septal pacing (LVSP) has emerged as a preferred conduction system pacing modality over His bundle pacing due to its superior…

The role of ultrasound contrast agents in the diagnosis of intramyocardial hematoma
Intramyocardial hematoma (IMH) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition. Its clinical presentation is non-specific, and its echocardiographic appearance may overlap with certain other conditions, making the diagnosis challenging. Our summary report is based on four cases that…

The role of multimodality imaging in the diagnosis of discordant aortic stenosis
The diagnosis of discordant aortic stenosis (AS) represents a frequent and clinically highly relevant challenge, as discordance between the aortic valve area (AVA) calculated by transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and the transvalvular gradient and flow parameters leads to uncertainty regarding…

The prognostic role of right ventricular function in cardiac surgery and structural intervention of valvular heart disease
Right ventricular (RV) function is a major determinant of clinical outcomes in patients undergoing cardiac surgery and transcatheter interventions. Although preprocedural assessment has traditionally focused on left ventricular (LV) morphology and function, RV dysfunction is now recognized as a key…

Cardiovascular imaging in pregnant women with heart disease
Cardiovascular diseases account for one-third of maternal mortality during pregnancy. Nearly one-fifth of women with heart disease experience a cardiovascular event, a significant proportion of which could be prevented through early diagnosis and organized care. Multimodal imaging is essential for…

Esophageal perforation and other procedural complications of transesophageal echocardiography: A comprehensive systematic review and meta-analysis (2000–2025)
Background: Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) is a cornerstone of cardiovascular imaging, but as a semi-invasive procedure, it carries a risk of complications, most notably esophageal perforation and other procedural complications. Understanding the incidence, risk factors, and management of…
