    Utility of the exercise electrocardiogram testing in sudden cardiac death risk stratification

    No full text
    Background Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains a major public health problem. Current established criteria identifying those at risk of sudden arrhythmic death, and likely to benefit from implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs), are neither sensitive nor specific. Exercise electrocardiogram (ECG) testing was traditionally used for information concerning patients' symptoms, exercise capacity, cardiovascular function, myocardial ischemia detection, and hemodynamic responses during activity in patients with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Methods We conducted a systematic review of MEDLINE on the utility of exercise ECG testing in SCD risk stratification. Results Exercise testing can unmask suspected primary electrical diseases in certain patients (catecholaminergic polymorphic ventricular tachycardia or concealed long QT syndrome) and can be effectively utilized to risk stratify patients at an increased (such as early repolarization syndrome and Brugada syndrome) or decreased risk of SCD, such as the loss of preexcitation on exercise testing in asymptomatic Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome. Conclusions Exercise ECG testing helps in SCD risk stratification in patients with and without arrhythmogenic hereditary syndromes. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Adler A, 2012, HEART RHYTHM, V9, P901, DOI 10.1016-j.hrthm.2012.01.026; Atta S, 2012, J CLIN EXP CARDIOLOG, V3, P223; Bastiaenen R, 2013, HEART RHYTHM, V10, P247, DOI 10.1016-j.hrthm.2012.10.032; Bershader RS BC, 2007, HEART RHYTHM, V4, pS138; Calloe K, 2013, CIRC-ARRHYTHMIA ELEC, V6, P177, DOI 10.1161-CIRCEP.112.974220; Chattha IS, 2010, HEART RHYTHM, V7, P906, DOI 10.1016-j.hrthm.2010.03.006; Cohen MI, 2012, HEART RHYTHM, V9, P1006, DOI 10.1016-j.hrthm.2012.03.050; Elhendy A, 2002, AM J CARDIOL, V90, P95, DOI 10.1016-S0002-9149(02)02428-1; Engel G, 2004, CURR PROB CARDIOLOGY, V29, P365, DOI 10.1016-j.cpcardiol.2004.02.007; Frolkis JP, 2003, NEW ENGL J MED, V348, P781, DOI 10.1056-NEJMoa022353; Gimeno JR, 2009, EUR HEART J, V30, P2599, DOI 10.1093-eurheartj-ehp327; Goldberger Jeffrey J, 2008, Heart Rhythm, V5, pe1, DOI 10.1016-j.hrthm.2008.05.031; Haissaguerre M, 2008, NEW ENGL J MED, V358, P2016, DOI 10.1056-NEJMoa071968; HINDMAN MC, 1973, ANN INTERN MED, V79, P654; Horner JM, 2011, HEART RHYTHM, V8, P1698, DOI 10.1016-j.hrthm.2011.05.018; Josephson ME, 2000, ANN INTERN MED, V133, P901; Kentta T, 2012, HEART RHYTHM, V9, P1083, DOI 10.1016-j.hrthm.2012.02.030; Lahat H, 2001, AM J HUM GENET, V69, P1378, DOI 10.1086-324565; Laitinen PJ, 2001, CIRCULATION, V103, P485; Makimoto H, 2010, J AM COLL CARDIOL, V56, P1576, DOI 10.1016-j.jacc.2010.06.033; MARIEB MA, 1990, AM J CARDIOL, V66, P172, DOI 10.1016-0002-9149(90)90583-M; Meli AC, 2011, CIRC RES, V109, P281, DOI 10.1161-CIRCRESAHA.111.244970; Morshedi-Meibodi A, 2004, CIRCULATION, V109, P2417, DOI 10.1161-01.CIR.0000129762.41889.41; O'Neill JO, 2004, J AM COLL CARDIOL, V44, P820, DOI 10.1016-j.jacc.2004.02.063; Priori SG, 2002, CIRCULATION, V106, P69, DOI 10.1161-01.CIR.0000020013.73106.D8; Priori SG, 2013, EUROPACE, V15, P1389, DOI 10.1093-europace-eut272; Raju H, 2011, HEART RHYTHM, V8, pS41; Roux-Buisson N, 2012, HUM MOL GENET, V21, P2759, DOI 10.1093-hmg-dds104; Steinhaus DA, 2012, AM HEART J, V163, P125, DOI 10.1016-j.ahj.2011.09.016; Sy RW, 2011, CIRCULATION, V124, P2187, DOI 10.1161-CIRCULATIONAHA.111.028258; Tseng ZH, 2009, HEART RHYTHM, V6, P1315, DOI 10.1016-j.hrthm.2009.06.034; van der Werf C, 2010, CIRC-ARRHYTHMIA ELEC, V3, P96, DOI 10.1161-CIRCEP.109.877142; Watanabe J, 2001, CIRCULATION, V104, P1911; Zheng ZJ, 2001, CIRCULATION, V104, P2158, DOI 10.1161-hc4301.098254; Zipes DP, 2006, J AM COLL CARDIOL, V48, pe247, DOI DOI 10.1016-J.JACC.2006.07.0100

    Authority and Personality in M.M. Bakhtin\u27s Author and Hero in Aesthetic Activity

    No full text
    M.M. Bakhtin\u27s fundamental claim in his seminal essay Author and Hero in Aesthetic Activity situates verbal action as the most essential constituent of human personality. A careful reading of this text reveals important truths about the relationship between free individual personhood and the nature of the speech utterance. Bakhtin connects the human experience of speech to the life and person of Jesus Christ emphasizing the incarnation and the Trinitarian view of God as essential principles for understanding the creative power of the word and consequent liabilities. Bakhtin develops these theological and philosophical coordinates around a discussion of the author-hero relationship in the novel asserting that the verbal utterance is creatively involved in building and sustaining the inner personhood of those it addresses. Bakhtin\u27s critical conclusion substantiates that from whom a word is received, and to whom the spoken word appeals has weighty influence on the type and character of human personality, and that personality\u27s relationship to authority

    No full text
    In the present work is a translation of the short introductory work of Turin’s Professor Roberto Salizzoni dedicated to the analysis of art of M.M. Bakhtin and some reflections of the author of the translation, which led him to assess creativity Russian thinker, present in this book of the Italian scientist. First of all, the author of the translation does not agree with the disparaging assessment of creativity of Bakhtin how unoriginal and more abounding plagiarism. The author of the translation argues injustice exaggerated influence on the concept of Bakhtin from literary trends and ideas, including by the media those of the so-called “circle of Bakhtin”. The necessity of considering of creativity of Russian thinker as philosophical, creativity independent and original. Such a conclusion can fail and approval of Neokantian origin of “philosophical roots” of Bakhtin’s concept of philosophy of culture
