Increased vagal activity plays a prominent role in vasovagal syncope (VVS). The aim of this study was to characterize vagal function in VVS by evaluating the heart rate (HR) deceleration capacity (DC)...
A total of 188 consecutive VVS patients were enrolled in the study, of whom 129 had positive head-up tilt test (HUTT); 132 healthy participants were enrolled as controls. DC, DRs (DR2, i.e., episodes ...
Patients with VVS had higher DC (10.63 ± 2.1 vs. 6.58 ± 1.7 ms; P < 0.001) and lower minimum HR and DR6-10 than controls. No significant differences in DC or DR6-10 were found between the patients wit...
Compared to healthy controls, patients with VVS demonstrated distinct HR deceleration profiles between attacks, including overall higher DC and lower DR6-10....
We suggest a novel method for detecting mortality deceleration by adding a penalty to the log-likelihood function in a gamma-Gompertz setting. This is an alternative to traditional likelihood inferenc...
To investigate whether an association exists between deceleration and acceleration areas on continuous fetal cardiotocography (CTG) and neonatal encephalopathy (NE)....
A single center, retrospective case-control study was conducted to compare CTG characteristics of low-risk pregnancies (35 weeks of gestation or more), complicated by moderate to severe NE with two ma...
During the period between 2013 and 2019, we identified 95 cases of low-risk pregnancies that were complicated by moderate to severe NE in our center. Thirty-three (34.7%) deliveries were excluded, mos...
NE was significantly associated with increased total deceleration area, decreased total acceleration area, and a lower acceleration-to-deceleration ratio, independent of cord blood pH. Development of ...
Monitoring muscle damage in athletes assists not only coaches to adjust the training workload but also medical staff to prevent injury. Measuring blood myoglobin concentration can help evaluate muscle...
Whole blood samples from participants' fingertips were collected before the match (baseline) and at 2, 16, and 40 h after the match. Myoglobin concentrations were measured using the IA-100 compact imm...
The mean myoglobin concentration was significantly higher at 2 h than at the other time points (P<0.05), and decreased to baseline levels within 16 h post-match. The mean creatine kinase concentration...
Our findings indicate that myoglobin is a more sensitive marker of muscle damage than creatine kinase after football match-play. Monitoring myoglobin in athletes can aid in determining their recovery ...
Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an important contributor to disability worldwide. The current cardiotocography (CTG) predictive value for neonatal outcome is limited....
To assess the association of intrapartum CTG deceleration and acceleration areas with early MRI cerebral pathology in infants with HIE....
Term and near-term low-risk pregnancies that resulted in HIE, treated with therapeutic hypothermia with sufficient CTG records from a single, tertiary hospital between 2013 and 2021 were enrolled. Acc...
A total of 77 infants were included in the final analysis. Significant associations between increased total acceleration area (p = 0.007) and between a higher acceleration-to-deceleration area ratio (...
In neonates treated for HIE, acceleration area and acceleration-to-deceleration ratio are associated with the risk of neonatal brain MRI abnormalities. To increase the role of these measurements as a ...
The current cardiotocography predictive value for neonatal outcome is limited. This study aimed to assess the association of intrapartum deceleration and acceleration areas with the degree of cerebral...
The aim of this review is to summarize the current scientific knowledge about acceleration and deceleration demands during football training....
A systematic search of three electronic databases (PubMed, SPORTDiscus, Web of Science) was performed to identify peer-reviewed relevant English-language articles, following PRISMA guidelines....
All acceleration and deceleration data were analyzed and organized into four categories: i) training drills variables (i.e. manipulated drills variables such as number of players in small-sided games)...
Different exercises elicit different demands and small-sided games presented higher acceleration and deceleration demands than circuit training and other running based drills. Furthermore, manipulatin...
Modern societies provide an abundance of opportunities, which could lead to acceleration and time poverty, thereby paradoxically limiting well-being. This study examines this issue using social distan...
This study aimed to investigate the acute effects of lower limb wearable resistance on maximal horizontal deceleration biomechanics, across two different assessments. Twenty recreationally trained tea...
A new functional mapping strategy based on targeting deceleration zones (DZs) has become one of the most commonly used strategies within the armamentarium of substrate-based ablation methods for ventr...
The purpose of this study was to analyze the evolution of DZs during ablation and their correlation with CMR....
Forty-two consecutive patients with scar-related VT undergoing ablation after CMR in Hospital Clinic (October 2018-December 2020) were included (median age 65.3 ± 11.8 years; 94.7% male; 73.7% ischemi...
Overall, 95 DZs were analyzed, 93.68% of which were correlated with CMR-CCs: 44.8% located in the middle segment and 55.2% located in the entrance/exit of the channel. Remapping was performed in 91.7%...
DZs are highly correlated with CMR-CCs. In addition, remapping can lead to the identification of hidden substrate initially not identified by electroanatomic mapping but detected by CMR....
Deceleration is considered a commonly practised means to assess Foetal Heart Rate (FHR) through visual inspection and interpretation of patterns in Cardiotocography (CTG). The precision of deceleratio...
