Clinical characteristics and long‐term outcomes in patients with apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Abstract Aims As a special type of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), apical HCM (ApHCM) has different clinical characteristics while its nature history and prognosis are not well recognized. We aimed to describe the characteristics and outcomes of ApHCM and identify predictors of adverse outcomes.

Prehospital randomised assessment of a mechanical compression device in cardiac arrest (PaRAMeDIC) trial protocol [PDF]

, 2010
Background Survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest is closely linked to the quality of CPR, but in real life, resuscitation during pre-hospital care and ambulance transport is often suboptimal.

Dilated cardiomyopathy evaluation with Imagenomics: combining multimodal cardiovascular imaging and genetics

ESC Heart Failure, EarlyView.
Systematic approach to dilated cardiomyopathy diagnosis. Dilated cardiomyopathy is a clinical diagnosis characterized by the presence of left ventricular dilatation and systolic disfunction unexplained by abnormal loading conditions or coronary artery disease.

The “Defibrillation Testing, Why Not?” survey. Testing of subcutaneous and transvenous defibrillators in the Italian clinical practice

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature, 2022
Background: Defibrillation testing (DT) can be omitted in patients undergoing transvenous implantable cardioverter–defibrillator (T-ICD) implantation, but it is still recommended for patients at risk for a high defibrillation threshold and for ICD ...

Cardiopulmonary resuscitation quality parameters from motion capture data using Differential Evolution fitting of sinusoids [PDF]

Applied Soft Computing, Volume 79, June 2019, Pages 300-309, 2018
Cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is alongside electrical defibrillation the most crucial countermeasure for sudden cardiac arrest, which affects thousands of individuals every year. In this paper, we present a novel approach including sinusoid models that use skeletal motion data from an RGB-D (Kinect) sensor and the Differential Evolution (DE ...

Electrophysiological Mechanisms of Ventricular Fibrillation Induction [PDF]

, 2005
Ventricular fibrillation (VF) is known as a main responsible cause of sudden cardiac death which claims thousands of lives each year. Although the mechanism of VF induction has been investigated for over a century, its definite mechanism is still ...

Quality of life in heart failure. The heart of the matter. A scientific statement of the Heart Failure Association and the European Association of Preventive Cardiology of the European Society of Cardiology

European Journal of Heart Failure, EarlyView.
For most patients with chronic, progressive illnesses, maintaining good quality of life (QoL), with preserved functional capacity, is just as crucial as prolonging survival. Patients with heart failure (HF) experience much worse QoL and effort intolerance than both the general population and people with other chronic conditions, since they present a ...

Effect of myocyte-fibroblast coupling on the onset of pathological dynamics in a model of ventricular tissue [PDF]

, 2017
Managing lethal cardiac arrhythmias is one of the biggest challenges in modern cardiology, and hence it is very important to understand the factors underlying such arrhythmias.

Fractally coated defibrillation electrodes Is an improvement in defibrillation threshold possible? [PDF]

Europace, 2000
In patients with implantable cardioverter-defibrillators (ICD), the goals of lowering the defibrillation threshold (DFT) can be achieved by means of higher defibrillation safety margins, more rapid charging of capacitors, improved battery longevity, implying smaller devices. Whether an increase in the electrically active surface of ICD leads by fractal
