Article Synopsis
- * The objective of the study is to investigate MNC in pediatric settings, identifying frequently missed categories of care and the reasons behind these omissions.
- * Results indicate that higher patient-to-nurse ratios and poor work environments significantly contribute to MNC, emphasizing the need for improved staffing, better work conditions, and ongoing nurse education to enhance patient care quality.
Cardiac involvement strongly impacts prognosis in patients with Anderson-Fabry disease (AFD). All cardiac structures, such as the left ventricle and the left atrium, the aorta, the right sections, and the heart valves can be affected by morphological and functional abnormalities. Standard echocardiography has a crucial role in the characterization of AFD cardiomyopathy.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFBackground: Neurally mediated reflex syncope (NMRS) has been recently described as a possible trigger of Takotsubo syndrome (TTS). There are few data in the literature about this association.
Methods: In the present meta-summary, 6 case reports describing patients who experienced TTS following an NMRS episode were included.
Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to assess how common vasodepressor (VD) responses are during head-up tilt tests (HUTT) in patients with a history of fainting (syncope) over a six-year period.
- Out of 1,780 patients, 7% exhibited a VD response, with higher rates observed in males and those over 69 years old.
- Age was found to be the only significant predictor of VD response, while factors like smoking and atypical fainting presentations reduced the likelihood of this response.
Aims: The study evaluated the positivity rate, haemodynamic responses, and prognosis in terms of syncopal recurrence among patients with situational syncope (SS) stratified according to the underlying situational triggers.
Methods And Results: We retrospectively evaluated all consecutive patients with SS who underwent nitroglycerine (NTG)-potentiated head-up tilt test (HUTT) at Syncope Unit of the University of Campania 'Luigi Vanvitelli'-Monaldi Hospital from 1 March 2017 to 1 May 2023. All patients were followed for at least one year.
