SARS-CoV-2 and Pre-Tamponade Pericardial Effusion. Could Sotos Syndrome Be a Major Risk Factor? Open
Pericarditis with pericardial effusion in SARS CoV-2 infection is a well-known entity in adults. In children and adolescents, only a few cases have been reported. Here, we present here a case of a 15-year-old girl affected by Sotos syndrom…

Glycoprotein IIb/IIIa Inhibitors May Modulate the Clinical Benefit of Radial Access as Compared to Femoral Access in Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention: A Meta-Regression and Meta-Analysis of Randomized Trials Open
Objectives. Several randomized controlled trials (RCTs) consistently reported better clinical outcomes with radial as compared to femoral access for primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Nevertheless, heterogeneous use of poten…

Conventional and new electrocardiographic criteria for hypertension‐mediated cardiac organ damage: A narrative review Open
Hypertension‐mediated organ damage (HMOD) is frequently observed in hypertensive patients at different cardiovascular (CV) risk profile. This may have both diagnostic and therapeutic implications for the choice of the most appropriate ther…

Nocturnal blood pressure patterns and cardiovascular outcomes in patients with masked hypertension Open
Masked hypertension ( MHT ) is characterized by normal clinic and above normal 24‐hour ambulatory blood pressure ( BP ) levels. We evaluated clinical characteristics and CV outcomes of different nocturnal patterns of MHT . We analyzed data…

Effects of different statin types and dosages on systolic/diastolic blood pressure: Retrospective analysis of 24‐hour ambulatory blood pressure database Open
We previously demonstrated lower diastolic blood pressure ( BP ) levels under statin therapy in adult individuals who consecutively underwent 24‐hour ambulatory BP monitoring and compared their levels to untreated outpatients. Here we eval…
