A chart review on surgical myocardial debridging in symptomatic patients: a safe procedure with good long-term clinical outcome and coronary computed tomographic angiography results.

Objectives: Myocardial bridging is mostly diagnosed as an incidental imaging finding but can result in severe vessel compression and significant clinical adverse complications. Since there is still an ongoing debate when to propose surgical unroofing, we studied a group of patients where this was performed as an isolated procedure.

Methods: In 16 patients (38.

Operationalization of the new Pain and Disability Drivers Management model: A modified Delphi survey of multidisciplinary pain management experts.

Background: We recently proposed the Pain and Disability Drivers Management (PDDM) model, which was designed to outline comprehensive factors driving pain and disability in low back pain (LBP). Although we have hypothesized and proposed 41 elements, which make up the model's five domains, we have yet to assess the external validity of the PDDM's elements by expert consensus.

Research Objectives: This study aimed to reach consensus among experts regarding the different elements that should be included in each domain of the PDDM model.

Long-term prognosis of drug-induced Brugada syndrome.

Background: Patients with drug-induced Brugada syndrome (BS) are considered at a lower risk than those with a spontaneous type I pattern. Nevertheless, they can present arrhythmic events.

Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate their clinical characteristics, long-term prognosis and risk factors.

A score model to predict risk of events in patients with Brugada Syndrome.

Aims: Risk stratification in Brugada Syndrome (BS) remains challenging. Arrhythmic events can occur life-long and studies with long follow-ups are sparse. The aim of our study was to investigate long-term prognosis and risk stratification of BS patients.
