Background: Glycemic variability (GV) is a novel parameter used in evaluating the quality of diabetes management. Current guidelines recommend use GV indexes alongside traditional to evaluate glycemic control: hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c). This study aims extent which HbA1c explains phenomena patients with Type 1 (T1DM). Methods: In 147 T1DM, associations between and several were analyzed. Results: Patients an < 7% had lower median standard deviation glycemia (60 vs. 48; p 0.001), coefficient...
Background and Objectives: Type 2 Diabetes (T2DM) is intricately associated with an increased cardiovascular (CV) risk, highlighting the imperative for tailored intervention in prevention management of CV diseases. To assess risk subsequent interventions patients diabetes, European Society Cardiology (ESC) has been consistently developing updating specific guidelines assessment patient since 2019. The 2023 classification method significantly changed, introducing a novel probability-based...
(1) Background: Left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) is traditionally used to assess prognosis in acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. However, LV work (MW), evaluated echocardiographically, offers additional prognostic information by considering loading conditions. (2) Methods: This prospective study investigated the value of MW indices 119 consecutive STEMI patients treated with primary percutaneous coronary angioplasty, stratified into three LVEF categories:...
Abstract Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in sinus rhythm (SR) currently involves mandatory biventricular pacing with often simultaneous ventricular (interval VV=0). While LV-only CRT has shown comparable efficacy, debates regarding its use continue. Main criticism is AV block occurrence order to benefit fusion pacing. Despite proved benefits, data on the incidence of patients receiving without RV lead remain limited. such population could compromise and require device...
Abstract Background Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) was associated with atrial fibrillation and heart failure. Furthermore, the arrhythmic sudden death during in patients OSA raises serious concerns. Non-ischemic ventricular arrhythmias arise frequently from right outflow tract (RVOT). The involvement of obstructive genesis arrhythmia (premature contraction or tachycardia) originating specifically RVOT is not yet coherently established. Purpose This study aims to demonstrate possible...
Abstract Sudden death (SD) in athletes is a potential avoidable dramatic scenario. When done regularly, cardiological evaluation increases the chances of diagnosing ventricular pre-excitation. Consequently, following question arises: what real incidence SD risk with Wolff-Parkinson-White (WPW) syndrome/pattern? This study included 84 consecutive patients diagnosed WPW and was designed as retrospective analysis data acquired between 2011 2021 to answer this question. The were evaluated using...
