The body mass index (BMI), the most used anthropometric of obesity, has an important limitation, not taking into consideration distribution fat. We developed a new simple index: waist-corrected BMI (wBMI), calculated as waist circumference (WC) × BMI. study aim was to assess role wBMI, compared BMI, WC, and Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) in predicting abnormal cardiac geometry, insulin resistance, increased arterial stiffness, dyslipidemia.This cross-sectional that included 805 patients...
Background Implantable cardioverter‐defibrillators ( ICDs ) are widely employed for the prevention of sudden cardiac death. Despite technological improvements, patients often need to undergo generator replacement, which entails risk periprocedural complications. Our aim was estimate service life ICD s over a 10‐year interval and assess main causes replacement on basis data from National Registry Italian Society Arrhythmology Cardiac Pacing (AIAC). Methods Results The registry includes 400...
Biological immune-modulator drugs, especially inhibitors of tumor necrosis factor-α, are frequently encountered in modern clinical practice and opportunistic infections therefore a common concern. Infective pericarditis has been described as complication these treatments with possible life-threatening consequences. In similar cases cultures may isolate multiple bacteria from the pericardial fluid without specific identification responsible germ, representing problem for targeted antibiotic...
Non-sustained ventricular tachycardia (NSVT) can occur asymptomatically and be incidentally detected in the internal records of pacemakers (PM). The clinical value NSVT population PM patients is still uncertain.Our aim was to assess prevalence by remote control, describe demographic characteristics with NSVT, prognostic significance terms both overall cardiovascular mortality.Consecutive followed interrogations from September 2010 December 2015 were included. transmissions pertaining first...
In a 23-year-old man having myocarditis in the context of eosinophilic granulomatosis with polyangiitis, mobile left ventricular apical thrombus was found transthoracic echocardiography. Its surgical removal established because there were no signs resizing after effective intravascular anticoagulation therapy. Surgery carried out via median sternotomy cardiopulmonary bypass. The site endocardial implantation identified epicardial ultrasonography scan. trans-aortic approach adopted to avoid...
Abstract Aims The current European Society of Cardiology guidelines provide clear indication for the treatment acute and chronic heart failure (HF).Nevertheless,there is constant need real–world evidence concerning effectiveness,adherence persistence to drug therapy.We investigated use sacubitril/valsartan HF with reduced ejection fraction in clinical practice Italy. Methods An observational, retrospective,non–interventional cohort study based on electronic medical records from nine...
