Methodological issues on the use of administrative data in healthcare research: the case of heart failure hospitalizations in Lombardy region, 2000 to 2012

Cristina Mazzali, Anna Maria Paganoni, Francesca Ieva, Cristina Masella et autres

BACKGROUND: Administrative data are increasingly used in healthcare research. However, in order to avoid biases, their use requires careful study planning. This paper describes the methodological principles and criteria used in a study on epidemiology, outcomes and process of care of patients …

Home-Based Telesurveillance Program in Chronic Heart Failure: Effects on Clinical Status and Implications for 1-Year Prognosis

Amerigo Giordano, Simonetta Scalvini, Anna Maria Paganoni, Stefano Baraldo et autres

BACKGROUND: Studies focusing on the effects of telemanagement programs for chronic heart failure (CHF) on functional status are lacking, and the prognostic value of the clinical response to the programs is unknown. In the Lombardy region of Italy, a home-based telesurveillance program …

Exercise Training in Mild Hypertension: Effects on Blood Pressure, Left Ventricular Mass and Coagulation Factor VII and Fibrinogen

Renzo Zanettini, Donato Bettega, Ornella Agostoni, Barbara Ballestra et autres

The aim of this study was to assess the effects of aerobic exercise on resting and 24-hour blood pressure (BP), left ventricular mass (LVM), plasma fibrinogen and factor VII (FVII). For this purpose 14 sedentary subjects with untreated diastolic BP between 90 …

Regional right ventricular dysfunction in acute pulmonary embolism and right ventricular infarction

Franco Casazza, A Bongarzoni, A Capozi, Ornella Agostoni

BACKGROUND: A normally contracting right ventricular apex associated to a severe hypokinesia of the mid-free wall ('McConnell sign') has been considered a distinct echocardiographic pattern of acute pulmonary embolism. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the clinical utility of the 'McConnell sign' in the bedside …

Spectral analysis of heart rate variability signals in newborns: physiological and clinical aspects

M.G. Signorini, Ornella Agostoni, A Brina, S. Cerutti et autres

The development of the neural control mechanism in newborns is evaluated using the power spectral analysis of the discrete series of R-R intervals. The analysis is carried out on 20 healthy subjects after spontaneous delivery in active sleep (AS), quiet sleep (QS) …

[The cardiologist facing pulmonary embolism. The experience of 160 cases of acute cor pulmonale].

Franco Casazza, Ornella Agostoni, V. Mandelli, M Morpurgo

BACKGROUND: The results of recent multicenter studies dealing with pulmonary embolism often reveal remarkable discrepancies in terms of diagnosis, prognosis and treatment, partly due to the heterogeneity of study patients and of evaluation criteria. Our prospective study focused exclusively on patients affected …

Chaotic characteristics of heart rate variability signal in newborns

M.G. Signorini, S. Cerutti, M. Pagani, Ornella Agostoni et autres

Heart rate variability signal regulation is influenced by several mechanisms. Non-linear dynamic modelling approach seems to be a promising method in order to extract information about the long period regulation and to measure the chaos level in biological signals. For deterministic chaotic …
