The benefit of cardiac pacing in patients with severe recurrent reflex syncope and asystole induced by tilt testing has not been established. usefulness tilt-table test to select candidates for is controversial.We randomly assigned aged 40 years or older who had at least two episodes unpredictable during the last year a tilt-induced an asystolic pause longer than 3 s, receive either active (pacing ON; 63 patients) inactive OFF; 64 dual-chamber pacemaker closed loop stimulation (CLS). primary...
Introduction: A novel highly pathogenic human coronavirus able to induce severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) has been recently recognized as the cause of disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, which spread rapidly from China other countries. Little is known about laboratory prognostic markers in COVID-19 patients. The aim our study was describe basic clotting parameters patients and their role different clinical forms disease. Material Methods: We enrolled 67 admitted Emergency Department....
Head-up tilt test (TT) has been used for >50 years to study heart rate/blood pressure adaptation positional changes, model responses haemorrhage, assess orthostatic hypotension, and evaluate haemodynamic neuroendocrine in congestive failure, autonomic dysfunction, hypertension. During these studies, some subjects experienced syncope due vasovagal reflex. As a result, testing was incorporated into clinical assessment of when the origin unknown. Subsequently, experience supports diagnostic...
Abstract Background and Aims Available data on continuous rhythm monitoring by implantable loop recorders (ILRs) in patients with Brugada syndrome (BrS) are scarce. The aim of this multi-centre study was to evaluate the diagnostic yield clinical implication a strategy ILRs large cohort BrS assess precise arrhythmic cause syncopal episodes. Methods A total 370 (mean age 43.5 ± 15.9, 33.8% female, 74.1% symptomatic) from 18 international centers were included. Patients followed for median...
Systolic blood pressure (SBP) drops recorded by 24-h ambulatory (BP) monitoring (ABPM) identify patients with susceptibility to reflex syncope and orthostatic intolerance. We tested the hypothesis that treatments aimed increase BP (reassurance, education, lifestyle measures plus pharmacological strategies) can reduce SBP drops.
BackgroundThere are limited real-world data about the extended prognosis of patients with drug-induced type 1 Brugada electrocardiogram (ECG).ObjectiveWe assessed clinical outcomes and predictors life-threatening arrhythmias in ECG.Materials MethodsThis multicenter retrospective study, conducted at 21 Italian Swiss hospitals from July 1997 to May 2021, included consecutive ECG. The primary outcome, a composite appropriate ICD therapies sudden cardiac death (SCD), was along these...
Introduction Little is still known about the prognostic impact of incident arrhythmias in hospitalized patients with COVID-19. The aim this study was to evaluate incidence and predictors sustained tachyarrhythmias COVID-19, their potential association disease severity in-hospital mortality. Materials methods This a retrospective multicenter observation including consecutive laboratory confirmed COVID-19 admitted emergency department ten Italian Hospitals from 15 February March 2020....
The traditional nitroglycerin (NTG) head-up tilt test (HUTT) is time-consuming and the duration a barrier to widespread utilization in clinical practice. It was hypothesized that short-duration protocol not inferior regarding positivity rate has similar distribution of hemodynamic response.Patients undergoing HUTT were randomized 1:1 10 min passive phase plus 0.3 mg NTG if negative (Fast) or 20 15 (Traditional). A sample size 277 patients for each group achieved 80% power detect an expected...
