Implantable cardioverter defibrillator in arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies.

In the present issue of Circulation, Wichter et al 1 report the largest single-center experience demonstrating the benefit of implantable cardiac defibrillators (ICDs) in the treatment of patients with arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy (ARVC). The patients seem well defined, and they meet the task force criteria. In addition, 50 of 60 patients have had the diagnosis confirmed by e...

Arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathies: clinical forms and main differential diagnoses.

XVI International Symposium on Atherosclerosis

Chemokines and their receptors are crucial mediators and regulators of leukocyte trafficking and homeostasis during immune surveillance and inflammation, which underlie the development and progression of atherosclerosis. The abundance of chemokines suggests that specific functional roles, with cooperative or synergistic interactions between the chemokine subfamilies provide a balance between pr...

11th International Symposium on Hearing

The loudness of a sound is its perceived intensity. A just-noticeable difference (JND) in intensity has a corresponding JND in loudness. We will interpret loudness and the loudness JND as the first and second moments of a random decision variable, which we call the single-trial loudness . This interpretation, combined with signal detection theory, allows us to relate the loudness of tones and n...
