Objective The age-dependent performance of electrocardiographic (ECG) criteria was examined for left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) prediction. Methods During 2009, 570 middle-aged (54 ± 7 years, 45% men) and 507 elderly (75 6 inhabitants the Ikaria Island were studied. Seven ECG calculated (Sokolow–Lyon voltage product, sex-specific Cornell Gubner–Ungerleider voltage, Lewis Framingham), whereas LVH defined as mass indexed body surface area (BSA) at least 125 g/m2 in men 110 women or...
Evidence suggests that resistin, a recently described protein, is associated with subclinical atherosclerosis in different clinical settings. In this study, we investigated the relationship of increased resistin levels urinary albumin excretion, expressed as albumin-to-creatinine ratio (ACR), an established index diffuse vascular damage, hypertensives.Our population consisted 132 untreated nondiabetic subjects stage I-II essential hypertension (49 males, mean age = 54 years, office blood...
Accumulating evidence suggests a direct role of Uric Acid (UA) on Left Ventricular (LV) diastolic function in chronic kidney disease and Heart Failure (HF) patients. Recently, UA has been linked to LV Hypertrophy (LVH) Diastolic Dysfunction (DD) women with preserved Ejection Fraction (pEF) but not corresponding men. We sought assess if could predict indices DD hypertensive subjects pEF independently gender.We consecutively recruited 382 apparently healthy (age: 61.7±10.7, women: 61.3%,...
Background: P waves ≥110 ms in adults and ≥90 children are considered abnormal, signifying interatrial block, particularly the first case. Methods: To evaluate prevalence of block healthy school‐aged children, we obtained 12‐lead digital ECGs (Cardioperfect 1.1, CardioControl NV, Delft, The Netherlands) 664 (349 males/315 females, age range 6–14 years old). P‐wave analysis indices [mean, maximum minimum (in 12 leads) duration, dispersion, morphology derived orthogonal (X, Y, Z) leads, as...
Background: Although the association of repolarization alterations to development lifethreatening ventricular arrhythmias has received considerable research attention, there is paucity data regarding what may be considered as normal, especially in children.Methods: To define electrocardiographic (ECG) and vectorcardiographic (VCG) descriptors healthy school-age children, 12-lead digital ECGs were obtained from 646 children (348 males/298 females, mean age 8.54 ± 1.86 years).All QT intervals...
ABSTRACTThis paper examines, in parallel, two key archaeological material groups: the kilns and ceramics from exceptional tell site of Imvrou Pigadi, first known systematically excavated Middle Neolithic pottery workshop Thessaly. The study forms an all-encompassing, material-based, scientifically integrated framework based on macroscopic microscopic analyses, including typological classification geoarchaeology with emphasis micromorphology, as well examination spatial organization. Direct...
Abstract The Middle Neolithic tell of Imvrou Pigadi (~6920–6570 cal. years before present) belongs to a cluster sites at the southern edge Plain Thessaly, Greece. Following specifically tailored geoarchaeological methodology comprising micromorphology coupled with Fourier‐transformed infrared spectroscopy, X‐ray diffraction, fluorescence, and particle size analyses, we were able reveal site formation processes linked construction floors/occupational surfaces successfully clarify rather...
This paper presents the first known and systematically excavated Middle Neolithic pottery workshop in southwestern Thessaly at Imvrou Pigadi. The excavations situ finds, along with pronounced kiln structures, their typological classification pyrotechnological operation, suggests considerable expertise manufacture. itself, together chipped stone industry other small as well fauna archaeobotanical assemblages are presented. results of 14C dating programme point to use beginning 6th millennium....
Objective: Blood pressure (BP) evaluation and management in patients with end stage renal disease (ESRD) is a precarious matter. During hemodialysis (HD) hypotension as well paradoxical rise BP may be documented. We investigated circadian behavior the setting of ESRD. Design method: studied 19 ESRD (68% men, mean age 62 ± years, 52% hypertensive) that underwent HD three times week unit our hospital. Ambulatory blood monitoring was applied one hour before an session set to measure every 30...
Hypothesis: To investigate the prognostic role of left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) regression regarding incidence cardiovascular diseasein essential hypertension. Methods: We prospectively followed up for a median period 3.8 years 1226 hypertensives (mean age 57.8 years, baseline office BP=143.6/89.3mmHg). All subjects visited periodically outpatient hypertensive unit our institution and BP at follow was calculated based on measurements last 3 visits. Echocardiographic evaluation...
Objectives: Incriminating evidence of an adverse effect obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) on the vasculature is increasing. We investigated degree vascular impairment in high risk population hypertensives with OSA by diverse atherosclerotic surrogates. Design and Methods: studied 62 consecutive patients [49 men, aged 48 ± 7 years, 31 smokers, body mass index (BMI) 32 4 kg/m2) untreated hypertension diagnosed polysomnography (PSG) [apnea/hypopnea (AHI)>or=5], a control group 70 without (AHI<5)...
Objective: Obesity, except from its association with increased cardiometabolic risk, cardiovascular events and mortality, has been shown to be a risk factor for first atrial fibrillation. Left (LA) enlargement represents an early common finding in hypertensive heart disease also identified as independent determinant of new onset Our aim was investigate the possible interrelationship between LA size obesity subjects evaluate interaction anthropometric measurements volume index.
