Sarcopenia Is Associated With Mortality and Progression of Cirrhosis in Decompensated but Not Compensated Disease—A Multicentre Study

open access: yesAlimentary Pharmacology &Therapeutics, EarlyView.
In a retrospective cohort of 1,624 adults with cirrhosis, sarcopenia was independently associated with unplanned hospitalization, death, and cirrhosis progression (or death) in patients with decompensated disease. In compensated cirrhosis, sarcopenia was associated only with a higher risk of unplanned hospitalization.

Atrial Cardiopathy and Sympatho-Vagal Imbalance in Cryptogenic Stroke: Pathogenic Mechanisms and Effects on Electrocardiographic Markers

open access: yesFrontiers in Neurology, 2018
Recently, atrial cardiopathy has emerged as possible pathogenic mechanism in cryptogenic stroke and many electrocardiographic (ECG) markers have been proposed in order to detect an altered atrial substrate at an early stage. The autonomic nervous system (

Interaction between proatherosclerotic factors and right-to-left shunt on the risk of cryptogenic stroke: the Italian Project on Stroke in Young Adults. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2012
Objective: To explore the interaction effects between cardiac interatrial right-to-left shunt (RLS) and proatherosclerotic factors on the risk of brain ischaemia. Design: Multicentre Italian caseecontrol study. Setting: University hospitals. Participants:

Patent Foramen Ovale and Cryptogenic Stroke [PDF]

open access: yesNew England Journal of Medicine, 2013
To the Editor: The articles by Meier et al.1 and Carroll et al.2 and the corresponding editorial by Messe and Kent3 (March 21 issue) illustrate a major problem in clinical trials. When it is not obvious which of two therapies is better, sufficient numbers of events are essential to reach a conclusion.

Impact of Emergent Physician Notifications from Mobile Cardiac Outpatient Telemetry on Patient Outcomes (The EP‐COT Trial)

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Electrophysiology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Introduction Mobile ambulatory cardiac telemetry (MCOT) use has increased over time; however, data on the prevalence and the impact of emergent arrhythmia notifications with MCOT remains unclear. We sought to determine the prevalence and clinical impact of emergent arrhythmia events in patients undergoing MCOT monitoring.

Effects of cerebral small vessel disease on the outcomes in cryptogenic stroke with active cancer

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Cerebral small vessel diseases (cSVDs) affect the prognosis of various types of ischemic stroke. Therefore, we evaluated the association between cSVD and the prognosis of cryptogenic stroke patients with active cancer. We enrolled patients diagnosed with

A Review of Atrial Fibrillation Detection Methods as a Service [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Atrial Fibrillation (AF) is a common heart arrhythmia that often goes undetected, and even if it is detected, managing the condition may be challenging. In this paper, we review how the RR interval and Electrocardiogram (ECG) signals, incorporated into a

Enhanced Risk Stratification of Atrial Fibrillation Detected After Ischemic Stroke and TIA: The Role of Apnoea–Hypopnoea Index and Hypoxic Burden—A Study From the Bern Sleep‐Stroke Registry

open access: yesJournal of Sleep Research, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Sleep‐disordered breathing is an independent risk factor for stroke and atrial fibrillation. Accurate assessment of atrial fibrillation in stroke patients with sleep‐disordered breathing is crucial for secondary prevention. This study aimed to determine whether combining apnoea–hypopnoea index and hypoxic burden improves risk stratification ...

Impairment of left atrial function and cryptogenic stroke: Potential insights in the pathophysiology of stroke in the young

open access: yesInternational Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2020
Background: Stroke is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality with a significant percentage classified as cryptogenic. Left atrial (LA) remodelling, a substrate for atrial fibrillation (AF) and stroke development, may play a role in ...
