Background/Objectives: High-intensity physical activity, especially in contact sports, may have harmful effect on athletes’ health. The aim of the study is to determine acute changes function left ventricle rugby players after a competitive match. Methods: A prospective, clinical, observational case–control was conducted. All cases were European Caucasian male athletes, older than 18 years, who had played for at least 60 min investigated transthoracic echocardiography and blood tests...
Background: Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VaD) represent a leading public-health problem given the rising age of population. Early diagnosis dementia, especially at stage mild cognitive impairment (MCI) has become an important goal modern patient work-up. Brain perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) mainstay diagnostic algorithms in patients with showing specific patterns hypoperfusion temporal parietal lobes. Clinical electroencephalography (EEG) is...
Abstract Objective To investigate the clinical outcomes of patients who underwent cardioversion compared with those did not have cardioverson in a large dataset recent onset non-valvular atrial fibrillation. Design Observational study using prospectively collected registry data (Global Anticoagulant Registry FIELD-AF—GARFIELD-AF). Setting 1317 participating sites 35 countries. Participants 52 057 aged 18 years and older newly diagnosed fibrillation (up to six weeks’ duration) at least one...
AimTo assess whether the number of patients with a cardiac chief complaint and their characteristics differed between before after two major earthquakes that struck Croatia in 2020.MethodsWe collected data on all visits examined emergency departments six hospitals nearest to epicenters. Patients seen during 7 days earthquake were compared those day 6 earthquake.ResultsPatients younger (68 [59-79] vs 72.5 [65-80]; P < 0.001) less frequently had cardiovascular disease (32.9% 42.8%; 0.001)....
In developed countries, stroke is the primary cause of invalidity and third most common mortality.The in about 30% cases are emboli emerging from heart, 25% caused by atherosclerosis large cerebral arteries (85% due to carotid atherosclerotic disease), 20% occlusions small (lacunar infarct), multiple or unspecified causes, 5% vasculopathies, hypercoagulable conditions hematological diseases.Stroke is, therefore, a very significant mortality, stenotic-occlusive disease 20-25%...
Our aim was to analyze characteristics of atrial fibrillation (AF) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) from the Croatian cohort ESH A Fib survey and determine association estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) cardiovascular (CV) mortality after 24 months follow-up.Consecutive sample 301 AF were enrolled in period 2014 2018. Hypertension defined as BP > 140/90 mm Hg and/or antihypertensive drugs treatment, CKD eGFR (CKD Epi) < 60 ml/min/1.73 m2 which confirmed 3 months.CKD...
The artery of Bernasconi and Cassinari is a small infraclinoid branch the internal carotid that originates from its cavernous segment then runs along tentorium. Because gracile appearance, it often visible only when related to neoplasms vascular lesions in tentorial regions.
There is a considerable periprocedural risk of thromboembolic events in atrial fibrillation patients undergoing cardioversion, and treatment with anticoagulants therefore hallmark cardioversion safety. Based on retrospective subgroup analyses prospective studies, non-vitamin K are at least as efficient vitamin K-antagonists preventing complications after cardioversion. The very much depends the comorbidities given patient, especially heart failure, diabetes, age &#x3e;75 years carry...
The paper presents a 33 - year old patient who has been suffering from ankylosing spondylitis since the age of 28. Pain in his right shoulder and weakness arm developed after more hours walking with backpack. performed procedure diagnosed lesion long thoracic nerve without sensory damage. Peripheral injuries lead to muscles -serratus anterior muscle result protrusion medial side scapula (scapula alata). It is difficult raise joint above horizontal line, that chest when extended pressed...
Objective: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is well established risk factor for atrial fibrillation (AFib). Our aim was to analayse association of CKD with AFib in patients form from Croatian cohort the ESH A Fib survey. We are reporting new data obtained on larger number patients. Design and method: Consecutive sample 301 (176 M, 125 F; averaged age 70.8) enrolled period 2014–2018. Data were collected medical records. BP measured following ESH/ESC guidelines. Hypertension (HT) defined as >...
Aim: To evaluate clinical, interventional and outcome data of patients treated for left main (LM) stenosis.Patients Methods: Study was conducted in University Hospital Centre "Sestre milosrdnice", Zagreb.We retrospectively analyzed all coronary angiographies from June 20, 2017 until February 12, 2020.Cases were identified by a nation-wide database (Stenos).Patients with percutaneous intervention (PCI) involving LM analyzed, regardless Medina stenosis class.Results: Out 5537 procedures (3255...
