										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>ABSTRACT</strong><br />
Arrhythmogenic cardiomyopathies (ACM) are rare inherited cardiac disorders, with an incidence below 1% in adults and an undetermined prevalence in pediatric populations. Formerly recognized primarily as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC), affecting exclusively the right ventricle (RV), recent diagnostic advancements have shed light on the involvement of the myocardium in ACM, revealing fibrous infiltration in both ventricles. In 2023, the European Society of Cardiology introduced updated phenotypic classifications of cardiomyopathy, highlighting the coexistence of multiple types within families and the potential transition from one cardiomyopathy to another. We present a case series comprising four pediatric cases of ARVC with diverse presentations and outcomes. Subsequent evaluations unveiled both left ventricle (LV) and RV dysfunction, culminating in a diagnosis of ARVC based on the 2020 diagnostic criteria. Additionally, genetic testing uncovered mutations in genes associated with cardiomyopathies. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) corroborated the biventricular involvement, aligning with a diagnosis of ACM per the 2020 Padua criteria. In conclusion, recent updates in diagnostic criteria have refined the classification of ACM, underscoring the importance of cardiac MRI and morphological features for precise diagnosis. Genetic testing has identified novel mutations linked to cardiomyopathy, emphasizing the significance of personalized treatment strategies and genetic counselling for affected individuals and their families.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Introduction:</strong> We report the results of endovascular aortic repair (EVAR) in three patients during the COVID-19 pandemic. <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> Three patients were diagnosed with abdominal aortic aneurysm. All three patients were male and aged 68 years. The diameter of the aneurysm was larger than 65 mm and was considered suitable for EVAR. Thorax tomography was performed to exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection before the procedure. <strong>Results:</strong> We performed EVAR under general anesthesia. “Priority Level” was based on the guideline of the American College of Surgeons. The procedure was conducted in the angiography laboratory by taking advanced precautions. Intensive care admission was avoided. The postoperative period was uneventful, and all patients were discharged without any condition associated with COVID-19. There were no mortality, rupture, secondary intervention, major adverse event, limb occlusion, and 60-day readmission. <strong>Conclusions:</strong> During the pandemic, EVAR can be performed for symptomatic abdominal aortic aneurysm with a diameter of more than 65 mm. Thorax tomography is safe to exclude SARS-CoV-2 infection. However, tomographic angiography to monitor patients may be difficult during the pandemic.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors (ACEI) are widely used drugs nowadays in treating patients diagnosed with cardiovascular disorders. We present two consecutive cases of acquired angioedema caused by the administration of enalapril and lisinopril in patients with indication for ACE-inhibitors therapy. Rigorous follow-up of side effects of ACEI is required, due to these possible life-threatening adverse reactions.</p>

<p><strong>ABSTRACT</strong></p>
<hr />
<p style="text-align: justify;">Coronary artery malformations are rare congenital abnormalities, which present non-specific symptoms such as atypical chest pain, malignant arrhythmia, or sudden cardiac death. The proper diagnosis of these abnormalities in emergency conditions can be very difficult, and noninvasive imaging techniques, such as computed tomography or magnetic resonance im- aging, along with the gold standard represented by invasive coronary angiography, remain the most frequently used modalities for diagnosing these rare cases. We present four cases of coronary anomalies represented by an abnormal origin of the coronary arteries from the coronary ostium, presenting in emergency conditions with symptoms of acute myocardial infarction, which were diagnosed by urgent angiography.</p>

<p><strong>Keywords</strong>: coronary artery malformation, coronary ostium, congenital heart diseases</p>
