ACKGROUND: Preclinical cognitive changes may predict an increased risk of dementia, allowing selection of subgroups as possible targets for preventive or therapeutic interventions. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the predictive effect of daily functioning and motor performance (MP) on the progression to dementia in normal cognition, cognitive impairment, no dementia (CIND), and mild cognitive impairment (MCI). METHODS: The Italian Longitudinal Study on Aging is a large population-based survey on age-related diseases of the cardiovascular and nervous systems. After the baseline assessment, to detect prevalent cases of cognitive impairment and dementia, participants were re-examined at 4-year and 8-year follow-ups. Functional independence was evaluated using the Index of Activities of Daily Living (ADL) and the Instrumental Activities of Daily Living (IADL) Scale. A six-test battery was used to assess MP. RESULTS: Overall, 2,386 individuals were included, for a total of 16,545 person-years. Eight-year incidence of dementia (per 1,000 person-years) was 12.69 in total sample, 9.86 in subjects with normal cognition at baseline, 22.99 in CIND, and 21.43 in MCI. Progression to dementia was significantly higher with increasing baseline ADL and IADL impairment, and with a worse MP. In Cox regression analyses controlled for demographics and major age-related conditions, increased IADL impairment was the stronger predictor of progression to dementia (p

A multicentre, randomised, open trial with a 2 x 2 factorial design was conducted to compare the benefits and risks of two thrombolytic agents, streptokinase (SK, 1·5 MU infused intravenously over 30-60 min) and alteplase (tPA, 100 mg infused intravenously over 3 h) in patients with acute myocardial infarction admitted to coronary care units within 6 h from onset of symptoms. The patients were also randomised to receive heparin (12 500 U subcutaneously twice daily until discharge from hospital, starting 12 h after beginning the tPA or SK infusion) or usual therapy. All patients without specific contraindications were given atenolol (5-10 mg iv) and aspirin (300-325 mg a day). The end-point of the study was the combined estimate of death plus severe left ventricular damage. 12 490 patients were randomised to four treatment groups (SK alone, SK plus heparin, tPA alone, tPA plus heparin). No specific differences between the two thrombolytic agents were detected as regards the combined end-point (tPA 23·1%; SK 22·5%; relative risk 1·04, 95% Cl 0·95-1·13), nor after the addition of heparin to the aspirin treatment (hep 22·7%, no hep 22·9%; RR 0·99, 95% Cl 0·91-1·08). The outcome of patients allocated to the four treatment groups was similar with respect to baseline risk factors such as age, Killip class, hours from onset of symptoms, and site and type of infarct. The rates of major in-hospital cardiac complications (reinfarction, post-infarction angina) were also similar. The incidence of major bleeds was significantly higher in SK and heparin treated patients (respectively, tPA 0·5%, SK 1·0%, RR 0·57, 95% Cl 0·38-0·85; hep 1·0%, no hep 0·6%, RR 1·64, 95% Cl 1·09-2·45), whereas the overall incidence of stroke was similar in all groups. SK and tPA appear equally effective and safe for use in routine conditions of care, in all infarct patients who have no contraindications, with or without post-thrombolytic heparin treatment. The 8·8% hospital mortality of the study population (compared with approximately 13% in the control cohort of the GISSI-1 trial) indicates the beneficial impact of the proven acute treatments for AMI.

Background. Current knowledge of risk assessment in survivors of myocardial infarction is largely based on data gathered before the advent of thrombolysis. It must be determined whether and to what extent available information and proposed criteria of prognostication are applicable in the thrombolytic era. Methods and Results. We reassessed risk prediction in the 10 219 survivors of myocardial infarction with follow-up data available (ie, 98% of the total) who had been enrolled in the GISSI-2 trial, relying on a set of prespecified variables. The 3.5% 6-month all-cause mortality rate of these patients compared with the higher value of 4.6% found in the corresponding GISSI-1 cohort, originally allocated to streptokinase therapy, indicates a 24% reduction in postdischarge 6-month mortality. On multivariate analysis (Cox model), the following variables were predictors of 6-month all-cause mortality: ineligibility for exercise test for both cardiac (relative risk [RR], 3.30; 95% confidence interval [CI], 2.36-4.62) and noncardiac reasons (RR, 3.28; 95% CI, 2.23-4.72), early left ventricular failure (RR, 2.41; 95% Cl, 1.87-3.09), echocardiographic evidence of recovery phase left ventricular dysfunction (RR, 2.30; 95% CI, 1.78-2.98), advanced (more than 70 years) age (RR, 1.81; 95% Cl, 1.43 -2.30), electrical instability (ie, frequent and/or complex ventricular arrhythmias) (RR, 1.70; 95% Cl, 1.32-2.19), late left ventricular failure (RR, 1.54; 95% Cl, 1.17-2.03), previous myocardial infarction (RR, 1.47; 95% CI, 1.14-1.89), and a history of treated hypertension (RR, 1.32; 95% Cl, 1.05-1.65). Early post-myocardial infarction angina, a positive exercise test, female sex, history of angina, history of insulin-dependent diabetes, and anterior site of myocardial infarction were not risk predictors. On further multivariate analysis, performed on 8315 patients with the echocardiographic indicator of left ventricular dysfunction available, only previous myocardial infarction was not retained as an independent risk predictor. Conclusions. A decline in 6-month mortality of myocardial infarction survivors, seen within 6 hours of symptom onset, has been observed in recent years. Ineligibility for exercise test, early left ventricular failure, and recovery-phase left ventricular dysfunction are the most powerful (RR, >2) predictors of 6-month mortality among patients recovering from myocardial infarction after thrombolysis. Qualitative variables reflecting residual myocardial ischemia do not appear to be risk predictors. The lack of an independent adverse influence of early post-myocardial infarction angina on 6-month survival represents a major difference between this study and those of the prethrombolytic era.

- Abstract
Background: We evaluated the appropriateness of the prescription of echocardiography, exercise testing, Holter monitoring and vascular sonography for ambulatory patients, performed during 4 weeks in 21 outpatient laboratories in Tuscany and Umbria, Italy., Methods: We collected the following data: the appropriateness of the prescription (according to the guidelines of the Italian Federation of Cardiology), the prescribing physician (cardiologist vs noncardiologist), the synthetic result (normal vs abnormal) and the clinical utility (useful vs useless) of each exam., Results: We evaluated 5614 prescriptions (patients: 3027 males, 2587 females; mean age 63 years, range 14-96 years). The indication to the test was of class I (appropriate) in 45.3%, of class II (doubtfully appropriate) in 34.8% and of class III (inappropriate) in 19.9% of the cases. The test was abnormal in 58.3% of class I exams vs 17% of class III exams (p < 0.05). The test was useful in 72.4% of class I exams vs 17.1% of class III exams (p < 0.05). The test was prescribed by a cardiologist in 1882 cases (33.5%). Cardiologist-prescribed exams were of class I in 57.3%, of class II in 32.4% and of class III in 10.3% of the cases vs 39.2, 36.1 and 24.7% of non-cardiologist-prescribed exams (p < 0.05). Cardiologist-prescribed exams were abnormal in 53.4% of the cases vs 39% of those of non-cardiologists' (odds ratio 1.76, 95% confidence interval 1.58-1.97; p < 0.05). Cardiologist-prescribed exams were useful in 64.7% of the cases vs 44.4% of those of non-cardiologists' (odds ratio 2.26, 95% confidence interval 2.02-2.53; p < 0.05)., Conclusions: In Tuscany and Umbria, Italy, less than half of the prescriptions for non-invasive diagnostic tests are appropriate: appropriately prescribed exams more often provide abnormal and useful results; cardiologist-prescribed exams are more often appropriate, abnormal and useful.

- Abstract
A survey on patterns of information and informed consent procedures during daily clinical practice has been performed by the Ethical Commission of ANMCO. A structured questionnaire (38 questions) was sent to the 653 cardiological units of the National Health Service in Italy. Four hundred and eighty (73.5%) were received. The following variables were considered to evaluate differences in the answers from the various cardiological units: geographical site, presence or absence of an in-patient department, a cath-lab, and of cardiac surgery facilities. Independent predictors of returning questionnaires were: geographical site (Northern Italy vs Central and Southern) and the presence of a cath-lab. Informed consent forms were provided in 53% of instances, while in 40% a free comment about the topic of informed consent was sent. Statistically significant differences in the answers were found about physicians' and nurses' role, ways of information, qualitative and quantitative risk estimates, other persons' role, models of consent forms and procedures of obtaining consent. Free comments and informed consent forms did not allow a statistical analysis. However, they still provided sufficient material to identify specific patterns of how cardiologists deal with the informed consent process. The distinction between the two phases of information and consent was rarely clear. Information or educational material was often mixed with consent forms. While some still showed a paternalistic approach, or else considered informed consent as a formal act, others demonstrated a deep understanding of the significance of the concept of informed consent. A widespread need of guidelines and standard patterns resulted.

The aim of our retrospective study was to evaluate the impact of primary coronary angioplasty (PTCA) on this not common but usually fatal complication., Methods: Since January 1998 PTCA has been the routine treatment for AMI patients in our Institution monitored during the first 12 hours from symptom onset. The AMI patients hospitalized between January 1998 and December 1999 (Group A) were retrospectively compared to those observed between January 1996 and December 1997 (Group B, historical control group), mainly treated with systemic thrombolysis. Patients hospitalized after 12 hours of symptom onset were excluded from the study. Data were analyzed on an intention-to-treat design., Results: Group A consisted of 204 patients (148 males, 56 females, mean age 67 +/- 11 years), 165 (81%) of whom underwent coronary angiography. Group B consisted of 185 patients (123 males, 62 females, mean age 71 +/- 12 years), 78 (42%) of whom were treated with thrombolysis and 33 (18%) with PTCA. The groups did not differ as regards the time delay before hospital entry, Killip class at admission and site of AMI. Fourteen patients (6.8 %) of Group A and 20 (10.8%) of Group B died in the Cardiology Division. No deaths due to cardiac rupture were observed among the 165 Group A patients, nor among the 33 Group B patients treated with PTCA. Cardiac rupture was the cause of death for 1 out of 14 (7%) patients in Group A, and for 8 out of 20 (40%) patients in Group B (p < 0.02 Group A vs Group B). Nine Group A patients and 11 Group B patients died because of cardiogenic shock., Conclusion: A lower cardiac rupture incidence was observed among Group A patients in comparison to those of Group B. Thus our data, although not randomized, suggest the ability of primary PTCA in preventing post-AMI cardiac rupture.

- Abstract
In order to achieve widespread use of automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in Italy, we evaluated several models of AEDs in different clinical and artificial settings. We enrolled 268 consecutive patients with various rhythms and arrhythmias. Among these, 129 patients were referred to two different hospitals and 139 were enrolled by the pre-hospital care providers. AED was applied in 209 patients without symptoms of cardiac arrest and in 59 patients with cardiac arrest. The AEDs exhibited a 100% specificity (no false positives in 220 patients with non-shockable rhythm). Sensitivity was 92.3% (4 false negatives and 48 true positives in patients with VT/FV). This study confirms the absolute clinical safety and the high level of diagnostic reliability offered by the AEDs that were tested.

- Abstract
Unlabelled: Chlamydia pneumoniae (C.p.) has been correlated with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). High levels of anti-C.p. antibodies and circulating immune complexes containing C.p. lypopolyaaccharide (LPS) antigens have been demonstrated in AMI. LPS antigen and especially Chlamydial LPS is one of the best antigen and it is also a very good Interleukin inductor. Moreover, interleukin 6 (IL-6) has been observed in AMI patients. The aim of our study was to assess the possible relationships between anti-C.p. immune response and IL-6 production in AMI patients. We studied 17 consecutive patients with myocardial infarction (12 males and 5 females; mean age 62; range 46-72). Blood samples were obtained immediately after hospital admission. There were 17 control subjects (HCM) (mean age 62; range 45-72) who were matched for the main coronary risk factors (gender, age, diabetes, hypertension, hypercolesterolemia, smoking, family history of ischemic heart disease). In addition, we evaluated the AMI patients in a one-year follow-up study (FU)., Results: High levels of C.p. IgG MIF were found in 82.3% of our AMI patients and in 29.4% of HCM subjects (p = 0.0000065). IgA-MIF were 70.5% in AMI patients and 29.4% in HCM (p = 0.0042). High levels of C.p. IgG and IgA anti-LPS were found, with a very high prevalence rate of 76.4% and 64.7% in AMI patients, and both rates were 47.0% (p = 0.158; p = 0.489) in HCM. Very high levels of IL-6 were found (m = 54.38 pg/ml) in 100% of the AMI patients (normal values in our population: 0-10.86 pg/ml) and only detectable levels in 5.8% of HCM. A good linear correlation was demonstrated between IL-6 and IgA levels in the first sample (r = 0.655). The high levels of anti-C.p. IgG, IgA and IL-6, with a good correlation between IL-6 and IgA levels, may confirm the presence of an active infection and probably of a reinfection.

- Abstract
Background: Infections in intensive care unit are nowadays well documented. As no recent papers about catheter related infections in cardiological intensive care units were found, we decided to approach them during a period of six months with a surveillance study including a clinical, nursing and microbiological protocol., Methods: The microbiological protocol the semiquantitative Maki cultural evaluation of the tips, the interior of the hubs and the skin around the catheter insertion point. In addition, all the samples were additionally cultured in liquid media. A total of 432 biological samples were analysed, from 125 patients entered into our cardiological intensive care unit: 144 from catheter tips, 144 from the hubs and 144 from the skin around the catheter insertion., Results: Three hundred and eighty-four biological samples (88.9%) were completely negative. Thirteen tips resulted positive (27.1% of the 48 total positive biological samples): 92.3% (12/13) of the positive catheters were infected from internal origin, hub and skin resulting culture negative. Of the 144 catheter tips 12 were colonized (C.F.U. < 15) while only 2 resulted infected (C.F.U. > or = 15). Only one patient was infected with an exogenous infection presenting tip, hub and skin positivity. The overall positivity was of 214 microorganisms mainly represented (93.5%) by gram positives; 87% of them were coagulase-negative staphylococci (C.N.S.). In addition, the tip detection of a Candida guillermondii strain in a pacemaker patient is a relevant finding., Conclusions: The very low number of cutaneous contaminations (1.3%) and patient's infections (0.69%) showed the good sensibilisation of the medical and nursing teams in the infection control and surveillance.

- Abstract
Over the past decade there have been considerable advances in cardiac electrostimulation technologies. However, there are still reports of electromagnetic interference with pacemakers and pacemaker patients. We have studied the effects of various electromagnetic sources (short-wave diathermy, electrosurgical knives, electrotherapy and radiofrequencies) on both humans and animals. The results of the studies were completely negative and, therefore, we are convinced that today's pacemakers are much more reliable and hence less subject to interference from external electromagnetic sources. We performed the following tests: (a) Short-wave diathermy: various electrode positions in pigs and 8 patients with pacemakers. (b) Electrosurgical knives: several tests on pigs with unipolar electrosurgical knife; 6 tests on humans during automatic defibrillator implantation using two-pole electrosurgical knives; 23 pacemaker patients underwent abdominal surgery (3 inguinal hernias, 12 gastric resections; 6 cholecystotomies, 2 aortic aneurysms-with two-pole electrosurgical knives). (c) Electrotherapy (TENS): on pigs. (d) Radiofrequency (RF) for transcatheter ablation-several tests on pigs.

- Abstract
Unlabelled: It is an acknowledged fact that the prognosis for patients with a first myocardial infarction depends mainly on the degree of residual left ventricle function. We wanted to evaluate the importance that certain simple clinical and instrumental variables can have in stratifying post-infarction cardiovascular risk with particular emphasis on chronic obstructive lung disease (COLD). We selected 97 out of the 512 patients treated in the coronary intensive care unit (CICU) from February 1, 1988 to October 31, 1990 according to the following criteria: First myocardial infarction; no cardiogenic shock; no serious concomitant diseases with considered negative prognosis within 6 months. The following variables were considered for all the patients: age; sex; positive family history for ischemic heart disease; history of diabetes mellitus; arterial hypertension; previous cerebrovascular incident; history of obstructive arteriopathy of the lower limbs, of angor and COLD. The following tests were performed on all the patients: echocardiogram prior to discharge form the CICU; angiocardioscintigraphy with Tc-99 between the 20th and 30th day following the acute event; bicycle ergometer stress test on the 30th day., End Points: general mortality; cardiac mortality; non-fatal reinfarction; residual angina at 3 months. All the patients were treated with aspirin (325 mg/die) and/or heparin (12,500 units subcutaneously). All 97 patients were monitored for a mean follow-up time of 19.8 months. General mortality was 2.08% (for reinfarction) 24 (24.7%) non-fatal cardiac events.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)

- Abstract
From the literature we find that the most frequent electrical alterations in Ebstein's anomaly are: the abnormal right atriogram; ventricular pre-excitation; supraventricular tachycardia; right bundle branch block and lengthening of the PR tract. These alterations are also present in cases of Ebstein's anomaly diagnosed in adults. The study of the activation of the right ventricle, which offers a variety of forms of development, is a source of particular interest. We report five cases which have come to our attention, in which greater disturbances of the atrioventricular block were present. This aspect has not yet been clearly reported in the literature.

- Abstract
The national data provided by ANMCO in 1978 show a total of 2.5 m heart cases in Italy, including 1.5 m instances of ischaemic cardiopathy, and an annual incidence of 105,000 new cases of myocardial infarct. An assessment was made of the 1976 and 1977 pattern of "cardiological emergency cases" (ISTAT codes 402, 410-14, 427-29, 441, 450, 519, 997) in the province of Florence and two of its social and health consortia: 39 (municipalities of Dicomano, Londa, Pelago, Pontassieve, Rufina, S. Godenzo), and 51 (municipalities of Borgata Ripoli, Greve, Impruneta, S. Casciano, Tavarnelle). The records of the S. Maria Nuova, Florence Hospital were used for in-patient data, since this is the only hospital in the province with automatic filing by discharge diagnosis according to the ISTAT code. Mortality in emergency cases in the two consortia m and the province fell from 14.68% and 17.17% to 11.20% and 18.11% respectively in the two years. In both populations, the highest incidence was between 70 and 74 yr of age in 1976, and between 65 and 69 yr in 1977. In the case of infarct, mortality moved from 18.75 to 7.58% (consortia) and from 22.40% to 20.93% (province), with maximum incidences in 1976 between 70 and 74 yr (consortia and province), and in 1977 between 65 and 69 yr (province) and between 55 and 59 yr (consortia). Admissions were greatest in number on Mondays (peak hours: 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.) whereas no difference was noted between one month and another. The Hospital Resuscitation Centre, which serves the two consortia, received 45 emergency cases in 1977, including 25 infarct patients. Total mortality was 13.33% (infarct 20%). The slight numeric discrepancy between in the latter data and those held in the computer suggests that the ISTAT code may not be easy to use and not always employed by physicians in a rational manner.

- Abstract
The development of a false aneurysm of the ascending aorta following arteriotomy and cannulation of the aorta performed during closure of a ventricular septal defect is described. The evidence suggest that the sutures of the arteriotomy led to rupture of the aortic wall and secondarily late formation of a false aneurysm.
