Abstract Background Aim of the present study is to describe characteristics COVID-19-related deaths and compare clinical phenotype course occurring in adults (<65 years) older (≥65 years). Method Medical charts 3,032 patients dying with COVID-19 Italy (368 aged < 65 years 2,664 ≥65 were revised extract information on demographics, preexisting comorbidities, in-hospital complications leading death. Results Older presented a higher number comorbidities compared those <65...
Background . Joint hypermobility syndrome/Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, type (JHS/EDS-HT), is a hereditary connective tissue disorder mainly characterized by generalized joint hypermobility, skin texture abnormalities, and visceral vascular dysfunctions, also comprising symptoms of autonomic dysfunction. This study aims to further evaluate cardiovascular involvement in JHS/EDS-HT battery functional tests. Methods The response reflex tests deep breathing, Valsalva maneuver, 30/15 ratio, handgrip...
Aim of this study was to present a P-wave model, based on linear combination Gaussian functions, quantify morphological aspects in patients prone atrial fibrillation (AF). Five-minute ECG recordings were performed 25 with permanent dual chamber pacemakers. Patients divided into high-risk and low-risk groups, including without AF episodes the last 6 mo preceding study, respectively. signals acquired using 32-lead mapping system for high-resolution biopotential measurement (ActiveTwo, Biosemi,...
Abstract Background Among the unknowns posed by coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, role of biological sex to explain susceptibility and progression is still a matter debate, with limited sex-disaggregated data available. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed assess if differences exist in clinical manifestations transitions care among hospitalized individuals dying laboratory-confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection Italy (February 27–June 11, 2020). Clinical characteristics times...
Abstract Background Most COVID-19-related deaths have occurred in older persons with comorbidities. Specific patterns of comorbidities related to COVID-19 not been investigated. Methods A random sample 6085 individuals Italy who died in-hospital confirmed between February and December 2020 were included. Observed expected (O/E) ratios disease pairs computed logistic regression models used determine the association O/E values ≥ 1.5. Results Six diseases exhibited 1.5 statistically significant...
Pacemaker (PM) and implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICD) are equipped with a magnetic sensor activated by external application of magnets to easily manage some functions these devices. If inadvertently or outside controlled environment without the supervision clinical personnel, this mode introduces potential risk. In reality, possibility static field affecting PM ICD is remote. However, presence magnet in iPhone 12 made activating switch less remote.This study investigates effects...
Wireless power transfer (WPT) in automotive is an emerging technology that utilizes coupled coils to through time-varying magnetic fields, enabling the charging of electric vehicles. Like any electromagnetic field source, WPT systems can potentially interfere with other electronic devices, impacting their proper functioning. This risk requires evaluation, especially when affected device a cardiac implantable (CIED), as malfunctioning pose serious hazards patient's safety. Currently, its...
Wireless power transfer (WPT) in the automotive industry is an emerging technology that has potential to interfere with other electronic devices, posing consequent risks must be carefully evaluated. This particularly crucial for cardiac implantable devices (CIEDs), as malfunctioning can pose serious hazards patient safety. Being technology, WPT electromagnetic emissions have not been explicitly addressed current CIEDs regulations. A voluntary standard on recommend limiting dispersed magnetic...
Background:The Minnesota Code (MC) is a classification system for the electrocardiogram (ECG) that has been used in several population studies to investigate prognostic significance of ECG and association between abnormalities cardiovascular risk factors.Between 2008 2012 an Health Examination Survey (HES) conducted Italy which collected number data from general population, including registration coding using MC.Aim: The present study aims at describing Cuore Project HES survey, terms...
