Objectives: The first aim of this study was to assess the predictive power of Tend interval (Te) and non-invasive hemodynamic markers, based on bioimpedance in decompensated chronic heart failure (CHF). The second one was to verify the possible differences in repolarization and hemodynamic data between CHF patients grouped by level of left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF). Finally, we wanted to check if repolarization and hemodynamic data changed with clinical improvement or worsening in CHF patients.

- Synthesis of new inorganic materials is challenging due to limited guidance on optimal solid-state procedures.
- Researchers introduced primary and secondary competition metrics to assess how likely target materials will form compared to impurities in solid-state reactions.
- They applied these metrics to analyze thousands of reactions, identifying efficient synthesis methods for barium titanate (BaTiO) that outperform traditional approaches by using unconventional precursors.
Unlabelled: Aging and chronic heart failure (CHF) are responsible for the temporal inhomogeneity of the electrocardiogram (ECG) repolarization phase. Recently, some short period repolarization-dispersion parameters have been proposed as markers of acute decompensation and of mortality risk in CHF patients. Some important differences in repolarization between sexes are known, but their impact on ECG markers remains unstudied.

- The study investigates how head-up and head-down tilt affects the autonomic nervous system and ECG segments in healthy individuals.
- It involves 20 subjects undergoing ECG and hemodynamic measurements at different tilt angles (0°, -45°, +45°, +90°) during controlled breathing.
- Findings reveal changes in heart rate variability, where Low Frequency indicators decreased while High Frequency indicators increased, alongside notable alterations in T wave amplitude related to heart volume during tilting.
Acutely decompensated chronic heart failure (adCHF) is among the most important causes of in-hospital mortality. R-wave peak time (RT) or delayed intrinsicoid deflection was proposed as a risk marker of sudden cardiac death and heart failure decompensation. Authors want to verify if QR interval or RT, obtained from 12-lead standard ECG and during 5-min ECG recordings (II lead), could be useful to identify adCHF.
