Data on exercise activities in place, and the interest for developing them Nephrology Services Italy is limited. To address this gap, we carried out cross-sectional study to investigate status of physical activity programs available Italian Centres. Additionally, research priorities topic were examined. We developed a 14-item electronic survey, which consisted multiple-choice questions covering training programs, assessment, barriers practice counselling practices, perceived benefits,...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is characterized by an increased risk of failure and end-stage renal (ESRD). Aging comorbidities as cardiovascular diseases, metabolic disorders, infectious or tumors, might increase the dialysis. In addition, genetic susceptibility factors modulate damage evolution. We have analyzed, in a group ESRD patients matched controls, set SNPs genes (
Objective: The unfavourable effects of the association obesity with hypertension on cardiac structure and function have been extensively studied. However, controversy still exists about influence gender relationship between left ventricular mass (LVM) hypertrophy (LVH). Even if body index (BMI) waist circumference (WC) are widely used as anthropometric predictors for cardiovascular diseases (CVD), their validity has questioned. Recently, Body Shape Index (ABSI) Roundness (BRI) were proposed...
Introduction: Brugada phenocopies (BrPs) are clinical entities that differ in etiology from true congenital syndrome (BrS) but have identical electrocardiographic (ECG) patterns. Methods: Our Manuscript reports a interesting case of BrP young man with heroin overdose who developed Acute Kidney Failure secondary to rhabdomyolysis. His initial ECG showed type 1 pattern elevation “Coved-Type” the ST segment V1 and V2. The resolved upon hemodialysis treatment. Provocative testing using sodium...
Objective: Although an accurate assessment of fast blood pressure (BP) fluctuations occurring within the 24 hours, ideally requires continuous beat-to-beat recording, its is also possible through non-invasive, intermittent h ambulatory BP monitoring (ABPM) Short-term variability (SBPV) seems to be relevant pathophysiology target organ damage and incidence clinical events. Our study was aimed assess in hypertensive patients relationships between some echocardiographic indices DD SBPV. Design...
