Journal ArticleDOI
Cardiac resynchronization therapy tailored by echocardiographic evaluation of ventricular asynchrony.
Maria Vittoria Pitzalis,Massimo Iacoviello,Roberta Romito,Francesco Massari,B. Rizzon,Giovanni Luzzi,Pietro Guida,Andrea Andriani,Filippo Mastropasqua,Paolo Rizzon +9 more
TL;DR: In patients with advanced heart failure and LBBB, baseline SPWMD is a strong predictor of the occurrence of reverse remodeling after CRT, thus suggesting its usefulness in identifying patients likely to benefit from biventricular pacing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ventricular asynchrony predicts a better outcome in patients with chronic heart failure receiving cardiac resynchronization therapy
Maria Vittoria Pitzalis,Massimo Iacoviello,Roberta Romito,Pietro Guida,Elisabetta De Tommasi,Giovanni Luzzi,M Anaclerio,Cinzia Forleo,Paolo Rizzon +8 more
TL;DR: Baseline SPWMD is a strong predictor of long-term clinical improvement after CRT in patients with severe HF and LBBB.
Journal ArticleDOI
Comparison Between Noninvasive Indices of Baroreceptor Sensitivity and the Phenylephrine Method in Post–Myocardial Infarction Patients
Maria Vittoria Pitzalis,Filippo Mastropasqua,Andrea Passantino,Francesco Massari,L. Ligurgo,Cinzia Forleo,Cataldo Balducci,Federico Lombardi,Paolo Rizzon +8 more
TL;DR: The results obtained by means of noninvasive baroreflex sensitivity assessments should not be used in clinical practice as an alternative to those obtained by the phenylephrine method.
Journal ArticleDOI
SCN5A Polymorphism Restores Trafficking of a Brugada Syndrome Mutation on a Separate Gene
Steven Poelzing,Cinzia Forleo,Melissa Samodell,Lynn A. Dudash,Sandro Sorrentino,M Anaclerio,Rossella Troccoli,Massimo Iacoviello,Roberta Romito,Pietro Guida,Mohamed Chahine,Maria Vittoria Pitzalis,Isabelle Deschenes +12 more
TL;DR: This study suggests a mechanism whereby the Brugada syndrome has incomplete penetrance and suggests that genetic polymorphisms may be a potential target for future therapies aimed at rescuing specific dysfunctional protein channels.
Journal ArticleDOI
Short- and long-term reproducibility of time and frequency domain heart rate variability measurements in normal subjects
Maria Vittoria Pitzalis,Filippo Mastropasqua,Francesco Massari,Cinzia Forleo,Marinella Di Maggio,Andrea Passantino,Roberto Colombo,Matteo Di Biase,Paolo Rizzon +8 more
TL;DR: The reproducibility of frequency domain parameters depends on the analysed condition, and are of primary importance when the effects of drugs or other interventions on heart rate variability are under investigation.
