The EURObservational Research Programme-Atrial Fibrillation General Registry Pilot Phase (EORP-AF Pilot) provides systematic collection of contemporary data regarding the management and treatment 3119 subjects with AF from 9 member European Society Cardiology (ESC) countries. In this analysis, we report development symptoms, use antithrombotic therapy rate vs. rhythm strategies, as well determinants mortality and/or stroke/transient ischaemic attack (TIA)/peripheral embolism during 1-year...
Guideline-adherent therapy for stroke prevention in atrial fibrillation has been associated with better outcomes, terms of thromboembolism (TE) and bleeding. In this report from the EuroObservational Research Programme-Atrial Fibrillation (EORP-AF) Pilot General Registry, we describe baseline features ‘high risk’ AF patients relation to guideline-adherent antithrombotic treatment, i.e. whether they were adherent, over-treated, or under-treated based on 2012 European Society Cardiology (ESC)...
Atrial fibrillation (AF) may occasionally affect athletes by impairing their ability to compete, and leading noneligibility at prequalification screening. The impact of catheter ablation (CA) in restoring full competitive activity affected AF is not known. aim our study was investigate the effectiveness CA idiopathic with palpitations physical performance compromising eligibility for activities.Twenty consecutive (all males; 44.4 +/- 13.0 years) disabling on basis drug-refractory underwent...
Aims Inappropriate Sinus Tachycardia (IST), a syndrome characterized by abnormally fast sinus rates and multisystem symptoms, is still poorly understood. Because of the relevance HCN4 channels to pacemaker activity, we used candidate-gene approach screened IST patients for presence disease-causing mutations. Methods results Forty-eight patients, four whom known familial history, were enrolled in study. We initially identified one with history R524Q mutation HCN4. Investigation extended...
To evaluate the long-term changes of clinical and echocardiographic parameters, incidence cardiac events parameters associated with late in 'super-responders' to resynchronization therapy (CRT) [CRT defibrillator (CRT-D)] or without back-up.In all consecutive patients treated CRT two Italian centres (Trieste Udine) left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) ≤0.35 at implantation (Timp) LVEF > 0.50 1 and/or 2 years (Tnorm) after implantation, outcome evolution were assessed; factors a higher...
Background and Aims: Breast cancer (BC) is the leading cause of in women. Female interventional cardiologists are potentially at a higher risk developing BC due to occupational radiation exposure. This survey aimed understanding safety awareness current clinical practice, occurrence BC, among female cardiologists. Methods: A was conducted worldwide 64 cardiac laboratories from September 2022 December 2022. Results: 195 physicians (mean age 41.0 ± 7.4 years) completed survey: 33 (16.9%)...
Electroanatomic Mapping for CRT Implantation Registry Introduction Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) device implantation guided by an electroanatomic mapping system (EAMS) is emerging technique that may reduce fluoroscopy and angiography use provide information on coronary sinus (CS) electrical activation. We evaluated the outcome of EAMS‐guided in a multicenter registry. Methods During period 2011–2014 we enrolled 125 patients (80% males, age 74 [71–77] years) who underwent using...
The study aimed at determining, in lean tissues from nonobese rats, whether physiological hyperleptinemia with leptin-induced reduced caloric intake and/or calorie restriction (CR) per se: 1) enhance mitochondrial-energy metabolism gene transcript levels and oxidative capacity; 2) reduce triglyceride content. Liver skeletal muscles were collected 6-month-old Fischer 344 rats after 1-wk leptin sc infusion (0.4 mg/kg . d: + approximately 3-fold leptinemia vs. ad libitum-fed control) or...
Abstract Syncope is a heterogeneous syndrome encompassing large spectrum of mechanisms and outcomes. The European Society Cardiology published an update the Guidelines in 2018. aim present survey was to capture contemporary management syncope guideline implementation among physicians. A 23-item questionnaire presented 2588 Heart Rhythm Association (EHRA) members from 32 countries. response rate 48%, but only complete responses (n = 161) were included this study. contained specific items...

 Objective. To evaluated possible clinical and instrumental, natural history prognostic divergences in women men with idiopathic dilated cardiomyopathy (IDCM).
 Patients Methods. From 1988 to 2012, we 803 consecutive patients IDCM recorded the Heart Muscle Disease Registry of Trieste (Italy). All had serial follow-up evaluations at 6, 12, 24 months, subsequently every two years, or more frequently if clinically indicated.
 Results. Two hundred twenty-seven (28%) were female....
