Aims: Few studies have assessed the prevalence and significance of right bundle branch block in athletes. Aims of this study were to evaluate the prevalence of incomplete right bundle branch block and its correlation with the nature of sports practice and to compare the athlete with right bundle branch block and the one with a normal electrocardiogram.
Methods: It was a retrospective study of the electrocardiogram and echocardiography of competitive athletes recruited in the medical-sports center of Sousse RESULTS: A total of 554 athletes were included.
Aims: Intense and regular sports practice leads to electrical and morphological cardiac remodeling. The aim of this study was to investigate a correlation between electrocardiographic and echocardiographic changes and the nature of the sport practiced.
Methods: Retrospective study of the electrocardiogram and echocardiography of competitive athletes recruited in the medical-sports center of Sousse RESULTS: A total of 554 athletes were included.
Introduction: Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is known to be associated with worse outcomes following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
Aim: To assess prognostic impact of DM on patients managed by urgent PCI following ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: In a retrospective study, STEMI patients admitted to our department from January 2016 to December 2019 and treated with urgent PCI (primary or rescue PCI) were included.
Background: The incidence of in-stent restenosis (ISR) remains relatively common despite the use of drug-eluting stents. Outcomes and prognostic factors following ISR revascularization are still being investigated. We aimed to describe the outcomes following different ISR treatment strategies in order to identify prognostic factors associated with worse outcomes.
