    How far should guidelines be followed?

    Clinical guidelines irreparably characterize contemporary medicine. Referring to guidelines has become routine in both medical literature and daily clinical activity, with the risk of becoming the only-or at least the main-inspiring element of the physician's behaviour. This would lead to the mortification of clinical reasoning, a term that is synonymous with an individualized approach, focused on the single patient, and not on a population

    Se anche nel mondo della medicina vale il concetto che è pioniere colui che intuisce fra i primi la direzione in cui sta muovendo il corso delle cose e che, di conseguenza, si fa promotore di attività, di iniziative e di nuovi modi di operare che in tale direzione siano orientati, allora Bruno Magnani è stato davvero un Pioniere fra i Grandi della Cardiologia Italiana

    Relative Left Ventricular Apical Sparing of Longitudinal Strain in Cardiac Amyloidosis: Is it Just Amyloid Infiltration?

    No full text
    Cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a rare and phenotypically heterogeneous disease, with pathophysiological clinical and morphological variability. From an imaging point of view, CA is one of the cardiomyopathies with a hypertrophic phenotype and is frequently misdiagnosed on echocardiography as sarcomeric or idiopathic hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. However, there are morphological and functional features that could unravel the underlying myocardial infiltration, and relative apical sparing of longitudinal strain (LS) impairment is among the most specific and almost invariably reported findings
