Cardiac conduction disorders in young adults: Clinical characteristics and genetic background of an underestimated population.

Background: Cardiac conduction disorder (CCD) in patients <50 years old is a rare and mostly unknown condition.

Objective: We aimed to assess clinical characteristics and genetic background of patients <50 years old with CCD of unknown origin.

Methods: We retrospectively reviewed a consecutive series of patients with a diagnosis of CCD before the age of 50 years referred to our center between January 2019 and December 2021.

Circulating Biomarkers of Endothelial Dysfunction and Inflammation in Predicting Clinical Outcomes in Diabetic Patients with Critical Limb Ischemia.

Critical limb ischemia (CLI) is a severe manifestation of peripheral artery disease characterized by ischemic pain, which is frequently associated with diabetes and non-healing lesions to inferior limbs. The clinical management of diabetic patients with CLI typically includes percutaneous transluminal angioplasty (PTA) to restore limb circulation and surgical treatment of diabetic foot ulcers (DFU). However, even after successful treatment, CLI patients are prone to post-procedure complications, which may lead to unplanned revascularization or foot surgery.
