The risk of failure of subcutaneous implantable cardioverter defibrillator therapy: from PRAETORIAN score to clinical practice.
Europace
January 2025
Institute of Cardiology, IRCCS Azienda Ospedaliero Universitaria di Bologna, Italy.
Background: The subcutaneous implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (S-ICD) is an alternative to traditional ICDs. The PRAETORIAN score, based on chest radiographs, has been validated to predict the probability of successful S-ICD defibrillation testing by assessing factors like fat thickness between the coil and sternum and generator placement.
Objective: This study evaluated the correlation between the PRAETORIAN score and clinical characteristics, as well as implantation variables.

Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the effects of underweight, overweight, and obesity on the growth of preschoolers by comparing their body shape measurements.
- No significant interactions were found for age or gender affecting BMI, but certain body measurements were identified as key indicators correlated with BMI.
- Obese preschoolers had notably larger body measurements compared to normal-weight children, while underweight children exhibited slower development in body shape metrics.

Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a prevalent chronic disorder in China, impacting a significant proportion of individuals aged > 40 years. In China, the prevalence of and risk factors for COPD among non-smokers remain largely unexplored. In this study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of COPD in non-smokers within the Chinese population and identify potential risk factors associated with COPD in non-smokers.

Liverpool Centre for Cardiovascular Science at University of Liverpool, Liverpool John Moores University and Liverpool Heart & Chest Hospital, Liverpool, UK.
Background: Cachexia, defined as the combination of weight loss, weakness, fatigue, anorexia and abnormal biochemical markers based on Evans' criteria, is known to exacerbate the prognosis of heart failure (HF) patients. This systematic review and meta-analysis investigates the prognostic impact and prevalence of cachexia, as defined by Evans' criteria, in patients with HF.
Methods: PubMed, Cochrane Library, Scopus and Web of Science were searched from inception until December 2023, including HF patients for whom the Evans' criteria were applied to explore the prevalence and prognostic impact of cachexia.
