Abstract Background There is few data about programmed lower rate limit (LRL) in real world heart failure (HF) patients with cardiac resynchronization therapy–defibrillators (CRT-Ds) and its influence in clinical outcomes. Heart rate score (HRS) is the percentage of all atrial-paced and sensed events in the single tallest 10 beats/min device histogram bin and may indicate impaired heart rate variability. Purpose We hypothesized that higher LRL programming is associated with worse clinical outcomes as ...

Abstract Background Even in experienced angioplasty centers, percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in the acute setting of ST-elevation myocardial infarctions (STEMI) is associated with a low, but still significant rate of suboptimal coronary flow. Identification of its clinical impact and potential modifiable risk factors is important. Purpose To evaluate the clinical impact of suboptimal coronary flow after PCI in STEMI patients and to access potential predictors of suboptimal coronary flow. ...

Abstract Background Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is a cornerstone in treatment of heart failure (HF) with reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and ventricular dyssynchrony. Biventricular (BiV) pacing is often the preferred method and corrects electrical and mechanical dyssynchrony but Left ventricular (LV) preferential pacing is may preserve conduction via the right bundle branch, preventing deleterious effects from right ventricular. The evidence is sparse and there is doubts ...

Abstract Introduction Low physical activity may be associated with comorbidities, sedentary lifestyle or clinical worsening in heart failure (HF) patients. Cardiovascular implantable electronic devices (CIEDs) detect and analyse physical activity data that is often integrated in multifactorial algorithms for predicting HF decompensations, but its potential is probably underestimated. Purpose We hypothesized that low physical-activity levels, obtained from remote monitoring of CIEDs, help predict clinical ...

To access the difference in clinical characteristics and prognostic outcomes between men and women who were admitted in our Cardiac Intensive Care Unit with STEMI diagnosis.We retrospectively analyzed 121 patients with STEMI, during a mean follow-up period 135 ± 31 weeks.We accessed baseline characteristics and time course of events.Primary endpoint (PE) was a composite of in-hospital cardiovascular death, arrhythmic events or STEMI evolution in Killip-Kimbal III or IV.Secondary endpoint (SE) was in- ...

Several risk factors, including smoking habits, hypertension, obesity and diabetes, are negatively associated with adverse cardiovascular events. Acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is a serious problem associated with a high burden of cardiac disease.To determine if obese hypertensive patients had a different clinical presentation and/or a poorer outcome, mainly related to hemorrhagic complications and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE).Retrospective single center cohort study ...

Abstract Background In remote islands lack of specialized medical facilities, long distance transfer and emergency medical system organization remains a challenge and fibrinolysis is necessary to achieve revascularization in optimal timing in ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) patients. Our angioplasty center is the only one located in an archipelago composed of nine islands, six of which do not have hospital facilities and only have small family health care units. Purpose To evaluate the ...

Introduction: Cardiac computed tomography (CCT) is indicated to exclude coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with low to intermediate pretest probability of CAD.After CCT some patients have indication to do an invasive coronary angiography.The aim of this study is to evaluate the patients who have done a CCT after coronary invasive angiography, without revascularization.Methods: Retrospective study of 2406 consecutive pts referred to CCT, at a single institution, we evaluate demographic, clinical ...
