Objectives: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a common comorbidity in patients with heart failure (HF). We aimed to assess its prevalence, characterization and long-term prognostic impact in the GISSI-HF population. Methods: The study randomized 6,975 ambulatory HF patients to either n-3 polyunsaturated fatty acids or placebo. We...

Objectives Rising evidences showed a possible protective role of statins in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). We aimed to evaluate in a post-hoc analysis of the GISSI-HF trial the prognostic effect of the use of rosuvastatin in patients with co-existing COPD and HF, assuming that the anti-inflammatory properties of these drugs may...

Several studies and experimental trials show promising outcomes of stroke diagnosis and monitoring in adults using microwave techniques. The application of such methods to pediatric stroke has never been explored, despite the potential usefulness in many cases. The goal of this work is to start approaching this problem, with a preliminary...
