This patient entered a Cardiac Rehabilitation Program after coronary artery bypass graft. Concomitant diseases and the degree of disability have been coded according to International Classification Functioning (ICF). multidisciplinary program has started (physician, nurses, physiotherapist nutritionist); atrial fibrillation, anaemia, pleural effusion, surgical wounds inflammation were treated. Educational allowed better knowledge is bearing; low functional capability diagnosed at admittance...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) after cardiac surgery is associated with increased mortality, morbidity, and expenditure. Controversial data exist on possible preventive effects of n-3 polyunsatured fatty acids (PUFAs) against postoperative AF. We investigated whether preoperative PUFA therapy effective in reducing AF during the surgical hospitalization and/or rehabilitation period.Over a 4-year period, 530 patients (363 men, 68.5%) mean age 66.4 +/- 10.9 years, undergoing were monitored for...
Abstract This Delphi consensus by 28 experts from the European Association of Preventive Cardiology (EAPC) provides initial recommendations on how cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) facilities should modulate their activities in view ongoing coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic. A total number 150 statements were selected and graded Likert scale [from −5 (strongly disagree) to +5 agree)], starting six open-ended questions (i) referral criteria, (ii) optimal timing setting, (iii) core...
To evaluate the incidence of sleep apnoea in acute and chronic coronary syndromes.Analysis breathing characteristics a polysomnographic study.Cardiology department tertiary referral centre.23 patients were studied soon after myocardial infarction (group 1), 22 clinical stabilisation unstable angina 2), who had stable 3). Conditions liable to cause apnoea, such as obesity, obstructive pulmonary disease, neurological disorders, or use benzodiazepines, exclusion criteria.Sleep hypopnoea, oxygen...
Implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) improve survival in selected patients with left ventricular dysfunction or heart failure (HF). The objective is to estimate the number of ICD candidates and assess potential impact on public health expenditure Italy USA. Data from 3513 consecutive (ALPHA study registry) were screened. A model based international guidelines inclusion criteria epidemiological data was used eligible patients. comparison current implant rate done necessary...
Background:The first few months after admission are the most vulnerable period in patients with acute decompensated heart failure (ADHF).Methods and Results:We assessed association of updated ADHF/N-terminal pro-B-type natriuretic peptide (NT-proBNP) risk score 90-day in-hospital mortality 701 admitted advanced ADHF, defined as severe symptoms worsening HF, severely depressed left ventricular ejection fraction, need for i.v. diuretic and/or inotropic drugs. A total 15.7% died within 90 days...
Background:We hypothesized that a negative microvolt T-wave alternans (MTWA) test would identify patients unlikely to benefit from primary prevention implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) therapy in prospective cohort.Methods and Results:Data were pooled 8 centers where MTWA testing was performed specifically for the purpose of guiding ICD implantation. Cohorts included if ratio ICDs implanted who "non-negative" >2:1, indicating had significant impact on decision implant an ICD. The...
In Chronic Heart Failure (CHF) patients, psychological and cognitive variables their association with treatment adherence have been extensively reported in the literature, but few are investigations older people. The present study aimed to evaluate psychological, cognitive, profile of (>65 years) CHF interrelation between these variables, identify possible independent predictors self-reported adherence. inpatients undergoing cardiac rehabilitation were assessed for: anxiety, depression,...
Background: Several studies have searched for predictors of clinical outcome in patients with heart failure (HF). However, since they were collected trials, most data subject to selection biases and do not specifically apply nonischemic disease. This study examined the impact several variables on combined all‐cause mortality hospitalization cardiac causes, consecutive ambulatory HF included ALPHA registry. Methods Results: analysis 446 disease, New York Heart Association functional class II...
