Aims In the EXPLORER‐HCM trial, mavacamten reduced left ventricular outflow tract obstruction (LVOTO) and improved functional capacity of symptomatic hypertrophic obstructive cardiomyopathy (HOCM) patients. We sought to define potential use by comparing real‐world HOCM patients with those enrolled in assessing their eligibility treatment. Methods results collected information on followed up at 25 Italian HCM outpatient clinics significant LVOTO (i.e. gradient ≥30 mmHg rest or ≥50 after...
The use of beta-blocker therapy in cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is debated. We aimed at describing patterns prescription through a nationwide survey.From 11 referral centres, we retrospectively collected data CA patients with first evaluation after 2016 (n = 642). Clinical characteristics and last were collected, focus on medical therapy. For whom was started, stopped, or continued between evaluation, the main reason for management requested. Median age study population 77 years; 81% men....
Background: Nurses play a pivotal role in combating antimicrobial resistance (AMR). However, the success of local and national AMR containment efforts hinges on knowledge, attitude, practice (KAP) nursing staff undergraduate students. Objectives: This study aims to explore determinants nurses’ KAP regarding AMR, offering insights control emergence spread drug-resistant pathogens. Methods: cross-sectional, multicenter survey involving Italian nurses, students, healthcare professionals was...
Background The higher cardiovascular variability and the increased prevalence of arrhythmias in patients with obstructive sleep apneas may contribute to their rate fatal events during sleep. In this regard, use beta blockers (BB) is debated because they induce bradyarrhythmias alter pattern heart changes induced by apneas. Thus, aim our study quantify peri‐apneic heart‐rate swings nocturnal BB‐treated BB‐naïve apnea. Methods Results Our real‐life, retrospective, cohort analyzed data from...
Background and purpose: Both obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) cardiac organ damage have a crucial role in acute ischemic stroke. Our aim is to explore the relationship between OSA stroke patients. Methods: A total of 130 consecutive patients with were enrolled. Patients underwent full multichannel 24-h polysomnography for evaluation echocardiography evaluate left ventricle (LV) mass index (LV mass/BSA, LV mass/height2.7), thickness interventricular septum (IVS) posterior wall (LVPW), ejection...
Since the association between frailty and difficulty in finding venous access (VA) is largely unexplored unclear geriatrics, aim of this study to demonstrate how multidimensional associated with bad VA a population older hospitalized people. Multidimensional Prognostic Index (MPI), based on eight different domains usually assessed comprehensive geriatric assessment, was used for identifying frailty; heritage investigated using questionnaire prepared by trained nurse, clinical experience....
Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction ( HF p EF ) is a widely heterogeneous clinical condition. Left ventricular diastolic dysfunction the leading etiology of , but there might be patients presenting predominant disease left atrium LA ). We report case secondary to stiff in which we corroborated invasive hemodynamic assessment strain analysis. Pathognomonic, tall V‐waves were observed wedge position absence mitral regurgitation and near‐normal QRS ‐gated, pre‐V‐wave pressure,...
Objective: To explore the effects of BB on nocturnal peri-apnoeic heart rate variability (HRV) and arrhythmias in OSA patients. Design method: Arrhythmias increased cardiovascular V are highly prevalent patients with obstructive sleep apneas (OSA), possibly resulting fatal events, as showed by significant increase sudden cardiac death during Data concerning drug this phenomenon scarce use beta blockers (BB) has been limited concern that they might lead to bradyarrhythmias. However, recent...
