- Abstract
The growing attention to sustainability has generated increasing interest in its relevant determinants and a possible relationship with economic growth’s main drivers. Our paper contributes to this literature in three ways, by proposing the following empirical analysis of most innovative companies listed worldwide (909 firms over the 2013–2017 time-span): firstly, market-perceived innovation—proxied by the interaction between R&D intensity and the market-to-book ratio—has a positive impact on economic sustainability; secondly, when the three ESG pillars are considered, the social one turns out to have the highest effect on economic sustainability; thirdly, results are confirmed even when we control for context-specific conditions.

Objectives The study assessed whether heart rate (HR) reduction following an exercise stress test (ExStrT), an easily quantifiable marker of vagal reflexes, might identify high-and low-risk long QT syndrome (LQTS) type 1 (LQT1) patients. Background Identification of LQTS patients more likely to be symptomatic remains elusive. We have previously shown that depressed baroreflex sensitivity, an established marker of reduced vagal reflexes, predicts low probability of symptoms among LQT1. Methods We studied 169 LQTS genotype-positive patients < 50 years of age who performed an ExStrT with the same protocol, on and off beta-blockers including 47 South African LQT1 patients all harboring the KCNQ1-A341V mutation and 122 Italian LQTS patients with impaired (I-Ks-, 66 LQT1) or normal (I-Ks +/-, 50 LQT2 and 6 LQT3) I-Ks current. Results Despite similar maximal HR and workload, by the first minute after cessation of exercise the symptomatic patients in both IKs-groups had a greater HR reduction compared with the asymptomatic (19 +/- 7 beats/min vs. 13 +/- 5 beats/min and 27 +/- 10 beats/min vs. 20 +/- 8 beats/min, both p = 0.009). By contrast, there was no difference between the I-Ks +/- symptomatic and asymptomatic patients (23 +/- 9 beats/min vs. 26 +/- 9 beats/min, p = 0.47). LQT1 patients in the upper tertile for HR reduction had a higher risk of being symptomatic (odds ratio: 3.28, 95% confidence interval: 1.3 to 8.3, p = 0.012). Conclusions HR reduction following exercise identifies LQT1 patients at high or low arrhythmic risk, independently of beta-blocker therapy, and contributes to risk stratification. Intense exercise training, which potentiates vagal reflexes, should probably be avoided by LQT1 patients.

- Abstract
© The Editor(s) (if applicable) and the Author(s) 2016. The Islamic Financial Services (IFS) sector has experienced wider consumer acceptance and rapid growth since its commercial launch in the 1970s. This growth has primarily been in countries in Asia such as Iran, Malaysia, Pakistan and the Middle East region. Although non-Muslim majority countries like Hong Kong and Singapore have taken positive strides in developing the sector, European countries have lagged behind their Asian counterparts (Daily Times, 2013). Europe is host to a large Muslim population, but the lack of developed Islamic financial institutions means that the potential of IFS product offerings is yet to be fully realized in the region (Volk and Pudelko, 2010).

We assessed the influence of clinically significant mitral regurgitation (MR) on clinical-echocardiographic response and outcome in heart failure (HF) patients treated with a biventricular defibrillator (cardiac resynchronization therapy defibrillator [CRT-D]). METHODS AND RESULTS: A total of 659 HF patients underwent successful implantation of CRT-D and were enrolled in a multicenter prospective registry (median follow-up of 15 months). Following baseline echocardiographic evaluation, patients were stratified into two groups according to the severity of MR: 232 patients with more than mild MR (Group MR+: grade 2, 3, and 4 MR) versus 427 patients with mild (grade 1) or no functional MR (Group MR-). On 6- and 12-month echocardiographic evaluation, MR was seen to have improved in the vast majority of MR+ patients, while it remained unchanged in most MR- patients. On 12-month follow-up evaluation, a comparable response to CRT was observed in the two groups, in terms of the extent of left ventricular reverse remodeling and combined clinical and echocardiographic response. During long-term follow-up, event-free survival did not differ between MR+ and MR- patients, even when subpopulations of patients with ischemic heart disease and with dilated cardiomyopathy were analyzed separately. On multivariate analysis, the only independent predictor of death from any cause was the lack of β-blocker use. CONCLUSIONS: This observational analysis supports the use of CRT-D in HF patients with clinically significant MR; MR had no major influence on patient outcome.

- Abstract
Background The debate on the diagnostic value of high intercostal spaces (ICSs) and of the number of diagnostic leads in Brugada syndrome (BrS) has been settled by a recent expert consensus statement. Objective To test the validity, and the underlying anatomy, of the new electrocardiographic (ECG) diagnostic criteria using echocardiographic, molecular, and clinical evidence in 1 clinical study population with BrS. Methods We analyzed 114 patients with BrS and with a spontaneous or drug-induced type 1 ECG pattern recorded in 1 or more right precordial leads in fourth, third, and second ICSs. The right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) was localized by using echocardiography. All probands were screened on the SCN5A gene. Results The percentage of mutation carriers (MCs) and the event rate were similar regardless of the diagnostic ICS (fourth vs high ICSs: MCs 23% vs 19%; event rate 22% vs 28%) and the number of diagnostic leads (1 vs 2: MCs 20% vs 22%; event rate 22% vs 27%). The concordance between RVOT anatomical location and the diagnostic ICSs was 86%. The percentage of the diagnostic ECG pattern recorded was significantly increased by the exploration of the ICSs showing RVOT by echocardiography (echocardiography-guided approach vs conventional approach 100% vs 43%; P <.001). Conclusion The high ICSs are not inferior to the standard fourth ICS for the ECG diagnosis of BrS, and the interindividual variability depends on the anatomical location of the RVOT as assessed by using echocardiography. This approach significantly increases diagnostic sensitivity without decreasing specificity and fully supports the recently published new diagnostic criteria. © 2014 Heart Rhythm Society.

- Abstract
© 2014 Macmillan Publishers Ltd. The growth of the Islamic Financial Services (IFS) sector has received much attention recently due to the resilience demonstrated by the sector during the financial crisis. While IFS continue to grow rapidly in much of Asia, there has been limited institutional support for the development of the sector in Europe, which has historically been slow to realize the sector's potential. Italy is one such country in Europe that has a growing Muslim population but has yet to develop the IFS sector. Using the institutional theory perspective, we highlight the role the Italian government can play in developing the regulative elements that facilitate the establishment of the IFS sector, and the introduction of Islamic financial products in the country. We propose that a developed IFS sector in Italy would help attract investment from countries in the Middle East and North African region, and would also facilitate the financial inclusion of the Muslim population in the domestic market.

Aims To analyse the effectiveness of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) in patients with valvular heart disease (a subset not specifically investigated in randomized controlled trials) in comparison with ischaemic heart disease or dilated cardiomyopathy patients. Methods and results Patients enrolled in a national registry were evaluated during a median follow-up of 16 months after CRT implant. Patients with valvular heart disease treated with CRT ( n = 108) in comparison with ischaemic heart disease ( n = 737) and dilated cardiomyopathy ( n = 635) patients presented: (i) a higher prevalence of chronic atrial fibrillation, with atrioventricular node ablation performed in around half of the cases; (ii) a similar clinical and echocardiographic profile at baseline; (iii) a similar improvement of LVEF and a similar reduction in ventricular volumes at 6–12 months; (iv) a favourable clinical response at 12 months with an improvement of the clinical composite score similar to that occurring in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy and more pronounced than that observed in patients with ischaemic heart disease; (v) a long-term outcome, in term of freedom from death or heart transplantation, similar to patients affected by ischaemic heart disease and basically more severe than that of patients affected by dilated cardiomyopathy. Conclusion In ‘real world’ clinical practice, CRT appears to be effective also in patients with valvular heart disease. However, in this group of patients the outcome after CRT does not precisely overlap any of the two other groups of patients, for which much more data are currently available.

Background: Few data exist on the long-term changes and the prognostic value of heart rate variability (HRV) assessed by implanted devices in heart failure (HF) patients treated with resynchronization therapy (CRT). Aims: To analyze the long-term changes in the standard deviation of 5-minute median atrial–atrial sensed intervals (SDANN), and assess its role in predicting CRT efficacy and major cardiovascular events. Methods and results: We included 509 consecutive patients implanted with CRT devices. At 12-month follow-up, 44 patients had died and 86 patients had at least one HF hospitalisation. A significant increase in SDANN occurred after 4 weeks of CRT (from 69±22 ms to 82±27 ms, p

In this paper, we focus on the precautionary motive for holding cash in private firms. We check novel implications of such motive that arise under conditions that are typical of private firms. Because of the incomplete separation of the finances of these firms from the finances of the owner, we also complement the traditional precautionary motive with a novel variant that considers stakeholders’ risk attitudes. We find empirical evidence consistent with both versions of the precautionary motive though some of the implications of the traditional precautionary motive, in the form of the hedging motive, are unsupported by the data.

© 2014 Macmillan Publishers Ltd. The growth of the Islamic Financial Services (IFS) sector has received much attention recently due to the resilience demonstrated by the sector during the financial crisis. While IFS continue to grow rapidly in much of Asia, there has been limited institutional support for the development of the sector in Europe, which has historically been slow to realize the sector's potential. Italy is one such country in Europe that has a growing Muslim population but has yet to develop the IFS sector. Using the institutional theory perspective, we highlight the role the Italian government can play in developing the regulative elements that facilitate the establishment of the IFS sector, and the introduction of Islamic financial products in the country. We propose that a developed IFS sector in Italy would help attract investment from countries in the Middle East and North African region, and would also facilitate the financial inclusion of the Muslim population in the domestic market.

- Abstract
Aims: HeartLogic algorithm combines data from multiple implantable defibrillators (ICD)-based sensors to predict impending heart failure (HF) decompensation. A treatment protocol to manage algorithm alerts is not yet known, although decongestive treatment adjustments are the most frequent alert-triggered actions reported in clinical practice. We describe the implementation of HeartLogic for remote monitoring of HF patients, and we evaluate the approach to diuretic dosing and timing of the intervention in patients with device alerts., Methods: The algorithm was activated in 229 ICD patients at eight centers. The median follow-up was 17 months (25th-75th percentile: 11-24). Remote data reviews and patient phone contacts were undertaken at the time of HeartLogic alerts, to assess the patient's status and to prevent HF worsening. We analyzed alert-triggered augmented HF treatments, consisting of isolated increases in diuretics dosage., Results: We reported 242 alerts (0.8 alerts/patient-year) in 123 patients, 137 (56%) alerts triggered clinical actions to treat HF. The HeartLogic index decreased after the 56 actions consisting of diuretics increase. Specifically, alerts resolved more quickly when the increases in dosing of diuretics were early rather than late: 28 days versus 62 days, p < .001. The need of hospitalization for further treatments to resolve the alert condition was associated with higher HeartLogic index values on the day of the diuretics increase (odds ratio: 1.11, 95% CI: 1.02-1.20, p = .013) and with late interventions (odds ratio: 5.11, 95% CI: 1.09-24.48, p = .041). No complications were reported after drug adjustments., Conclusions: Decongestive treatment adjustments triggered by alerts seem safe and effective. The early use of decongestive treatment and the use of high doses of diuretics seem to be associated with more favorable outcomes., (© 2022 The Authors.

- Abstract
Aims: Data regarding the efficacy of catheter ablation in heart failure patients with severely dilated left atrium and reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) are scanty. We sought to assess the efficacy of catheter ablation in patients with reduced LVEF and severe left atrial (LA) enlargement, and to compare it to those patients with preserved left ventricular function and equally dilated left atrium., Methods and Results: Three patient groups with paroxysmal or persistent atrial fibrillation (AF) undergoing a first pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) were considered: Group 1 included patients with normal or mildly abnormal LA volume (≤41 mL/m2) and normal LVEF; Group 2 included patients with severe LA enlargement (>48 mL/m2) and normal LVEF; and Group 3 included patients with severe LA enlargement and reduced LVEF. Time to event analysis was used to investigate AF recurrences. The study cohort includes 439 patients; Group 3 had a higher prevalence of cardiovascular risk factors. LA enlargement was associated with a two-fold in risk of AF recurrence, on the contrary only a smaller non-significant increase of 30% was shown with the further addition of LVEF reduction., Conclusions: The long-term outcome of patients with severe LA dilatation and reduced LVEF is comparable to those with severe LA enlargement but preserved LVEF. Long-term efficacy of PVI is certainly affected by the enlargement of the left atrium, but less so by the addition of a reduced LVEF. CA remains the best strategy for rhythm control both in paroxysmal and persistent AF in this subgroup of patients., (Published on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.

- Abstract
Background When implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) battery is depleted most patients undergo generator replacement (GR) even in the absence of persistent ICD indication. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and the overall prognosis of patients with and without persistent ICD indication undergoing GR. Predictors of 1-year mortality were also analyzed. Methods and Results Patients with structural heart disease implanted with primary prevention ICD undergoing GR were included. Patients were stratified based on the presence/absence of persistent ICD indication (left ventricular ejection fraction ≤35% at the time of GR and/or history of appropriate ICD therapies during the first generator's life). The study included 371 patients (82% male, 40% with ischemic heart disease). One third of patients (n=121) no longer met ICD indication at the time of GR. During a median follow-up of 34 months after GR patients without persistent ICD indication showed a significantly lower incidence of appropriate ICD shocks (1.9% versus 16.2%, P <0.001) and ICD therapies. 1-year mortality was also significantly lower in patients without persistent ICD indication (1% versus 8.3%, P =0.009). At multivariable analysis permanent atrial fibrillation, chronic advanced renal impairment, age >80, and persistent ICD indication were found to be significant predictors of 1-year mortality. Conclusions Patients without persistent ICD indication at the time of GR show a low incidence of appropriate ICD therapies after GR. Persistent ICD indication, atrial fibrillation, advanced chronic renal disease, and age >80 are significant predictors of 1-year mortality. Our findings enlighten the need of performing a comprehensive clinical reevaluation of ICD patients at the time of GR.

- Abstract
Background: The HeartLogic algorithm measures data from multiple implantable cardioverter-defibrillator-based sensors and combines them into a single index. The associated alert has proved to be a sensitive and timely predictor of impending heart failure (HF) decompensation., Hypothesis: We describe a multicenter experience of remote HF management by means of HeartLogic and appraise the value of an alert-based follow-up strategy., Methods: The alert was activated in 104 patients. All patients were followed up according to a standardized protocol that included remote data reviews and patient phone contacts every month and at the time of alerts. In-office examinations were performed every 6 months or when deemed necessary., Results: During a median follow-up of 13 (10-16) months, the overall number of HF hospitalizations was 16 (rate 0.15 hospitalizations/patient-year) and 100 alerts were reported in 53 patients. Sixty alerts were judged clinically meaningful, and were associated with multiple HF-related conditions. In 48 of the 60 alerts, the clinician was not previously aware of the condition. Of these 48 alerts, 43 triggered clinical actions. The rate of alerts judged nonclinically meaningful was 0.37/patient-year, and the rate of hospitalizations not associated with an alert was 0.05/patient-year. Centers performed remote follow-up assessments of 1113 scheduled monthly transmissions (10.3/patient-year) and 100 alerts (0.93/patient-year). Monthly remote data review allowed to detect 11 (1%) HF events requiring clinical actions (vs 43% actionable alerts, P < .001)., Conclusions: HeartLogic allowed relevant HF-related clinical conditions to be identified remotely and enabled effective clinical actions to be taken; the rates of unexplained alerts and undetected HF events were low. An alert-based management strategy seemed more efficient than a scheduled monthly remote follow-up scheme., (© 2020 The Authors. Clinical Cardiology published by Wiley Periodicals, Inc.)

- Abstract
Aims: In the Multisensor Chronic Evaluation in Ambulatory Heart Failure Patients study, a novel algorithm for heart failure (HF) monitoring was implemented. The HeartLogic (Boston Scientific) index combines data from multiple implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD)-based sensors and has proved to be a sensitive and timely predictor of impending HF decompensation. The remote monitoring of HF patients by means of HeartLogic has never been described in clinical practice. We report post-implantation data collected from sensors, the combined index, and their association with clinical events during follow-up in a group of patients who received a HeartLogic-enabled device in clinical practice., Methods and Results: Patients with ICD and cardiac resynchronization therapy ICD were remotely monitored. In December 2017, the HeartLogic feature was activated on the remote monitoring platform, and multiple ICD-based sensor data collected since device implantation were made available: HeartLogic index, heart rate, heart sounds, thoracic impedance, respiration, and activity. Their association with clinical events was retrospectively analysed. Data from 58 patients were analysed. During a mean follow-up of 5 ± 3 months, the HeartLogic index crossed the threshold value (set by default to 16) 24 times (over 24 person-years, 0.99 alerts/patient-year) in 16 patients. HeartLogic alerts preceded five HF hospitalizations and five unplanned in-office visits for HF. Symptoms or signs of HF were also reported at the time of five scheduled visits. The median early warning time and the time spent in alert were longer in the case of hospitalizations than in the case of minor events of clinical deterioration of HF. HeartLogic contributing sensors detected changes in heart sound amplitude (increased third sound and decreased first sound) in all cases of alerts. Patients with HeartLogic alerts during the observation period had higher New York Heart Association class (P = 0.025) and lower ejection fraction (P = 0.016) at the time of activation., Conclusions: Our retrospective analysis indicates that the HeartLogic algorithm might be useful to detect gradual worsening of HF and to stratify risk of HF decompensation., (© 2019 The Authors ESC Heart Failure published by John Wiley & Sons Ltd on behalf of the European Society of Cardiology.)
