The accuracy of spectral analysis heart-rate variability performed on annotated RR interval lists obtained from several commercial Holter systems was appraised. Five tape-recorder-based (Del Mar 750, Marquette 8000, Oxford Medilog Excel, Remco Cardioline AD 35 and Reynolds Pathfinder PA3) four solid-state (Hewlett Packard 43420B, Seer, 6000FD2, E-Ram) were considered. Two ECG signals with fixed real morphology but characterized by a different degree modulation the (reduced normal...
Abstract At present time, both CT and MRI are valuable techniques in the study of thoracic aorta. Nowadays, represents most widely employed technique for The new generation CTs show sensitivities up to 100% specificities 98-99%. Sixteen wider row detectors provide isotropic pixels, mandatory ineludible longitudinal reconstruction. main limits related X-ray dose expoure use iodinated contrast media. has great potential Nevertheless, if compared CT, acquisition times remain longer movement...
Objective The study was designed to: (1) confirm safety and feasibility of mini-invasive radial balloon aortic valvuloplasty (BAV); (2) assess its impact in terms quality life frailty; (3) evaluate whether changes frailty after BAV are associated with death patients undergoing transcatheter valve implantation (TAVI). Methods 330 16 Italian centres were prospectively included. primary endpoint the occurrence major minor Valve Academic Research Consortium (VARC)-2 bleeding. Secondary endpoints...
In order to better understand the relationship between model selection by Akaike Information Criterion (AIC) and AR spectral fidelity in analysis of cardiovascular variability signals, authors selected a set signals (pulse interval invasive noninvasive systolic diastolic arterial pressure) characterized having major oscillations easily recognizable eye clearly detected Blackman-Tukey estimator. After estimation AIC estimation, checked if main features were actually reproduced. The sample...
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is an uncommon autoimmune disease. Aim of the study was to detect occult cardiac involvement in asymptomatic SSc patients recent onset (indicative a more aggressive disease) with unenhanced Cardiac Magnetic Resonance (CMR). Our historical prospective included naïve onset. Modified Rodnan Skin Score (mRSS) and Scleroderma Clinical Trial Consortium Damage Index (SCTC-DI) were calculated. volumes global myocardial strain assessed also compared healthy group values....
(1) Background: The impact of imaging-derived ischemia is still under debate and the role stress perfusion cardiac magnetic resonance (spCMR) in non-high-risk patient needs to be clarified. aim this study was evaluate spCMR a case series stable long-standing chronic coronary syndrome (CCS) patients with no other risk factor. (2) Methods: This historical prospective including 35 history CCS who underwent CT angiography (CCTA) additional adenosine spCMR. Clinical imaging findings were included...
The authors have analyzed the spectral content of very low frequency band (VLF, 0.01-0.04 Hz) contemporary short-term recordings heart period (HP), systolic arterial pressure (SAP), instantaneous lung volume (ILV) and tidal (ITV) from 16 moderate congestive failure (CHF) patients not showing Cheyne-Stokes (C-S) respiration. A well-defined peak around 0.02 Hz was detected in considered signals most analyzed. majority also showed (>0.5) to high (>0.8) coherence region VLF between HP SAP these...
The association of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and ischaemic heart (IHD) is challenging both in terms prognosis pharmacological treatment. An 83-year-old Caucasian male patient has kidney disease, COPD, previous myocardial infarction, coronary artery bypass graft with left internal mammary (LIMA) on anterior descending (LAD), saphenous vein (SVG) obtuse marginal (OM)1 right artery, percutaneous intervention (PCI) LAD (occlusion LIMA) SVG for OM1 (SVG critical stenosis)....
Pathological gambling (PG) disorder occurs when a person gambles repetitively despite severe negative effects on important aspects of life. PG tends to be heterogonous in which patients differ with respect type and intensity behavior, psychiatric comorbidity, family history, age at onset gender. Gamblers may accordingly classified into three subtypes: the "impulsive", "obsessive-compulsive" "addicted" subtypes. characterize sample Italian pathological gamblers assess prevalence various...
There is substantial evidence indicating that pharmacological treatments targeting glutamatergic transmission are of potential utility in the treatment drug addiction. The aim this study was to evaluate long-term outcome patients with pathological gambling. Fifteen fulfilling criteria for gambling and receiving drugs effects on (amantadine, N-acetylcysteine, gabapentin, pregabalin topiramate) were enrolled. Gambling craving (Gambling Symptom Assessment Scale, G-SAS, visual analogue scale,...

Internet Gambling has become one of the most popular and lucrative internet business. The recent improvements in technology have changed betting habits with online poker, casinos, sport betting, bingo lotteries. Liberalization Italian gambling market gradually started 2006, but only 2010 foreign operators been able to launch real money games. Our aim is study impulsivity personality traits an sample Pathological Gamblers (PG), showing peculiarities Online (OG). 69 patients affected by PG,...
Frequent and increasing relations among psychiatric substance dependence disorders, have made, to date, more complex the treatment of this dependence, especially when patient is facing difficult task maintaining abstinence, which requires a work self-awareness, motivation change active modification dysfunctional lifestyles. Our study has aim detect patients' changes in personality between beginning rehabilitative therapy its end, trying get information on aspects addiction affects most....
Aims To evaluate, in a sample of pathological gamblers, the effects personality traits and psychiatric comorbidity on severity this condition. Methods 40 patients were evaluated with following instruments: EuropASI, modified for gambling; MINI; TCI, BIS-11. Univariate linear regression analyses conducted to evaluate relationships between different scales. Results Age onset was influenced by Novelty Seeking NS-1 subscale, higher scores related earlier onset, Harm Avoidance 2 later onset;...
Power spectral analysis of the heart rate variability signal coming from a traditional Holter recording, might be contaminated by several sources error. The authors performed statistical characterization measurement error (ME) some common parameters obtained analyzing 24-hour R-R intervals list generated commercial system. Two ECG signals with known modulation interval were into PC and fed to three recorders successively equipped four different tapes. One had 'normal' (var=2376 msec/sup 2/),...
