Mitral valve prolapse (MVP) may be associated with ventricular arrhythmias (VA) even in the absence of significant valvular regurgitation. Curling, mitral annulus disjunction (MAD) and myocardial fibrosis (late gadolinium enhancement [LGE]) account for arrhythmogenesis. This study investigated determinants VA patients MVP without included 108 (66 female; median age: 48 years) All underwent 12-lead electrocardiography, 24-hour electrocardiographic Holter monitoring, exercise stress test,...
ABSTRACT Background Evidence supporting robotic thymectomy for myasthenia gravis is generally based on small sample‐size studies, heterogeneous in patient selection and reporting outcomes. Therefore, this study was conducted to assess the surgical neurological outcomes of myasthenic patients identify prognostic factors associated with symptoms' remission through a large cohort operated 20 years' period. Methods A retrospective analysis prospectively maintained database all undergoing between...
BackgroundCoronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) global pandemic has strikingly high mortality rate with hypercoagulability state being part of the imputed mechanisms. We aimed to compare rates in hospital propensity score matched cohorts COVID-19 patients chronic anticoagulation versus those that were not.MethodsIn this population-based study Veneto Region, we retrospectively reviewed all aged 65 years or older, a laboratory-confirmed diagnosis. compared, after matching, who received for...
Introduction Over the last years, many Mediterranean countries, including Italy, have witnessed a shift away from Diet, thus contributing to high rates of overweight and obesity. The survey “Adherence Diet in Italy (ARIANNA)” aimed evaluate Adherence (AMD) its main determinants Italian population. Materials methods This study started on March 2023 was addressed adults aged ≥17 born resident proficient Italian. Data are collected electronically through voluntary, anonymous self-administered...
The present study aims to compare the performance of eight Machine Learning Techniques (MLTs) in prediction hospitalization among patients with heart failure, using data from Gestione Integrata dello Scompenso Cardiaco (GISC) study. GISC project is an ongoing that takes place region Puglia, Southern Italy. Patients a diagnosis failure are enrolled long-term assistance program includes adoption online platform for sharing between general practitioners and cardiologists working hospitals...
Background: Conduction disturbances after transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) are often transient. Limited data exist on anatomic factors predisposing to pacemaker dependency TAVR. We sought assess the rate and possible predictors of Methods: Consecutive patients undergoing implantation up 30 days TAVR between May 2014 September 2019 were included. Baseline electrocardiographic, computed tomography, procedural characteristics collected, including depth membranous septum length, an...
Abstract Background A common variant located in the promoter region of MUC5B (rs35705950) is strongest risk factor for sporadic and familiar IPF, as well a predictor outcome. However, there are no data on effect rs35705950 genotype prognosis IPF patients antifibrotic treatment. The aim this study to determine, phenotypically well-characterized population with treated antifibrotics, impact disease progression survival. Methods 88 treatment were followed-up from 2014 until transplantation,...
BACKGROUND: Thrombosis is linked to neutrophil release of extracellular traps (NETs). NETs are proposed as a mechanism resistance thrombolysis. This study intends analyze the composition thrombi retrieved after mechanical thrombectomy, estimate age and organization thrombi, evaluate associations with use thrombolysis, antiplatelets, heparin. METHODS: retrospective observational involved 72 samples (44 from cerebral 28 coronary arteries), which were stained hematoxylin eosin, anti-NE...
Background Veneto is one of the first Italian regions where COVID-19 outbreak started spreading. Containment measures were approved soon thereafter. The present study aims at providing a look impact containment on progression in region, Italy. Methods A Bayesian changepoint analysis was used to identify changing speed epidemic curve. Then, piecewise polynomial model considered fit data period before detected changepoint. In this time interval, that is, weeks from 27 February 12 March,...
The present work aims to identify the predictors of COVID-19 in-hospital mortality testing a set Machine Learning Techniques (MLTs), comparing their ability predict outcome interest. model with best performance will be used and build an prediction tool. study involved patients COVID-19, proved by PCR test, admitted “Ospedali Riuniti Padova Sud” referral center in Veneto region, Italy. algorithms considered were Recursive Partition Tree (RPART), Support Vector (SVM), Gradient Boosting (GBM),...
Severe acute respiratory syndrome-coronavirus-2 (SARS-CoV-2) pneumopathy is characterized by a complex clinical picture and heterogeneous pathological lesions, both involving alveolar vascular components. The severity distribution of morphological lesions associated with SARS-CoV-2 how they relate to clinical, laboratory, radiological data have not yet been studied systematically. main goals the present study were objectively identify phenotypes factors that, in addition SARS-CoV-2, may...
In this study, we assessed the mid-term outcomes of patients who received a heart donation from marginal donor (MD), and compared them with those an organ standard (SD).All underwent HTx between January 2012 December 2020 were enrolled at single institution. The primary endpoints early long-term survival MD recipients. Risk factors for graft failure (PGF) mortality in recipients also analyzed. secondary endpoint was comparison versus SD recipients.In total, 238 HTx, 64 (26.9%) whom MD....
In recent years, there has been a widespread cross-fertilization between Medical Statistics and Machine Learning (ML) techniques.
<h2>Abstract</h2><h3>Aim</h3> Defining the epidemiology of systemic and cardiac amyloidosis (CA) is a contemporary challenge. The present study aimed to estimate incidence time trends in amyloidosis-related hospitalizations (AH) Veneto Region (5 million inhabitants, Northeastern Italy). <h3>Methods</h3> International Classification Diseases (ICD-9) codes were used identify AH from 2010 2020. defined as any hospitalization with discharge summary reporting an ICD-9 code for amyloidosis....
: Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) has emerged as the most accurate, non-invasive method to support diagnosis of clinically suspected myocarditis and a risk-stratification tool in patients with cardiomyopathies. We aim assess diagnostic prognostic role CMR at myocarditis.
