Heart failure results in decreased activity tolerance and repeated hospitalization, seriously affecting quality and mortality of elderly people. Due to the lack of atypical clinical manifestations and characterized symptoms, and accompanied by the coexistence of multiple diseases and geriatric syndromes, comprehensive geriatric assessment should be ...

Abstract Aims Although comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation (CCR) is recommended for patients with heart failure (HF), participants often show low adherence. The aim of this study was to evaluate the association of CCR completion and response with long‐term clinical outcomes. Methods and results We screened 824 HF patients who participated in a 3 month

Higher ventricular rate during atrial fibrillation relates to increased cerebral hypoperfusions and hypertensive events [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with cognitive impairment/dementia, independently of clinical cerebrovascular events (stroke/TIA). One of the plausible mechanisms is the occurrence of AF-induced transient critical hemodynamic events; however, it is presently unknown, if ventricular response rate during AF may impact on cerebral hemodynamics.

Clinical Features of Pediatric Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension and Applicability of New ICHD-3 Criteria [PDF]
Idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is characterized by intracranial pressure >28 cmH2O in the absence of identifiable causes. Aim of this paper is to describe the clinical phenotype of pediatric IIH and to analyze the applicability of ICHD-3 ...

Transient cerebral hypoperfusion and hypertensive events during atrial fibrillation: a plausible mechanism for cognitive impairment [PDF]
Atrial fibrillation (AF) is associated with an increased risk of dementia and cognitive decline, independent of strokes. Several mechanisms have been proposed to explain this association, but altered cerebral blood flow dynamics during AF has been poorly investigated: in particular, it is unknown how AF influences hemodynamic parameters of the distal ...

In vivo effects of nonionic and ionic contrast media on beta-thromboglobulin and fibrinopeptide levels [PDF]
Nonionic contrast media are suggested to cause increased thromboembolism (in vivo), platelet aggregation and procoagulant effect (in vitro) as compared with ionic contrast media.

Integration of Clinical, Biological, and Computational Perspectives to Support Cerebral Autoregulatory Informed Clinical Decision Making Decomposing Cerebral Autoregulation using Mechanistic Timescales to Support Clinical Decision-Making [PDF]
Adequate brain perfusion is required for proper brain function and life. Maintaining optimal brain perfusion to avoid secondary brain injury is one of the main concerns of neurocritical care. Cerebral autoregulation is responsible for maintaining optimal brain perfusion despite pressure derangements. Knowledge of cerebral autoregulatory function should
