Journal ArticleDOI
Normal-sodium diet compared with low-sodium diet in compensated congestive heart failure: is sodium an old enemy or a new friend?
TL;DR: It is shown that a normal-sodium diet improves outcome, and sodium depletion has detrimental renal and neurohormonal effects with worse clinical outcome in compensated patients with CHF patients.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of high-dose furosemide and small-volume hypertonic saline solution infusion in comparison with a high dose of furosemide as bolus in refractory congestive heart failure: long-term effects.
Giuseppe Licata,Pietro Di Pasquale,Gaspare Parrinello,A Cardinale,Angela Scandurra,G Follone,Christiano Argano,Antonino Tuttolomondo,Salvatore Paterna +8 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a randomized, single-blind study was performed to evaluate the effects of the combination of high-dose furosemide and small-volume hypertonic saline solution (HSS) infusion in the treatment of refractory congestive heart failure and a normosodic diet during follow-up.
Journal ArticleDOI
Changes in Brain Natriuretic Peptide Levels and Bioelectrical Impedance Measurements After Treatment With High-Dose Furosemide and Hypertonic Saline Solution Versus High-Dose Furosemide Alone in Refractory Congestive Heart Failure: A Double-Blind Study
Salvatore Paterna,Pietro Di Pasquale,Gaspare Parrinello,Ersilia Fornaciari,Francesca Di Gaudio,Sergio Fasullo,Marco Giammanco,Filippo M. Sarullo,Giuseppe Licata +8 more
TL;DR: The data show that the HSS group reached dry weight more rapidly, a significantly faster reduction in BNP levels, shorter hospitalization stay, and lower incidence in readmissions in the 30-day study period.
Journal ArticleDOI
Medium term effects of different dosage of diuretic, sodium, and fluid administration on neurohormonal and clinical outcome in patients with recently compensated heart failure.
Salvatore Paterna,Gaspare Parrinello,Sergio Cannizzaro,Sergio Fasullo,Daniele Torres,Filippo M. Sarullo,Pietro Di Pasquale +6 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the effects of different sodium diets associated with different diuretic doses and different levels of fluid intake on hospital readmissions and neurohormonal changes after 6-month follow-up in patients with compensated heart failure were evaluated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Angiotensin-converting enzyme gene deletion polymorphism determines an increase in frequency of migraine attacks in patients suffering from migraine without aura.
Salvatore Paterna,P. Di Pasquale,A D'Angelo,G. Seidita,Antonino Tuttolomondo,A Cardinale,T Maniscalchi,G Follone,Giubilato A,M Tarantello,G. Licata +10 more
TL;DR: The data suggest that ACE-DD gene polymorphism could have an important role in determining migraine attacks and the frequency of these attacks, and further data are needed through further studies, especially on the biomolecular level.
