Effect of age on complexity and causality of the cardiovascular control: comparison between model-based and model-free approaches. by Alberto Porta, Luca Faes, Vlasta Bari, Andrea Marchi, Tito Bassani, Giandomenico Nollo, Natália Maria Perseguini, Juliana Milan, Vinícius Minatel, Audrey Borghi-Silva, Anielle C M Takahashi, Aparecida M Catai

“…We found that: 1) MF approaches are more efficient than the MB method when nonlinear components are present, while the reverse situation holds in presence of high dimensional embedding spaces; 2) the CE method is the least powerful in detecting age-related trends; 3) the association of HP complexity on age suggests an impairment of cardiac regulation and response to STAND; 4) the relation of SAP complexity on age indicates a gradual increase of sympathetic activity and a reduced responsiveness of vasomotor control to STAND; 5) the association from SAP to HP on age during STAND reveals a progressive inefficiency of baroreflex; 6) the reduced connection from HP to SAP with age might be linked to the progressive exploitation of Frank-Starling mechanism at REST and to the progressive increase of peripheral resistances during STAND; 7) at REST the diminished association from RESP to HP with age suggests a vagal withdrawal and a gradual uncoupling between respiratory activity and heart; 8) the weakened connection from RESP to SAP with age might be related to the progressive increase of left ventricular thickness and vascular stiffness and to the gradual decrease of respiratory sinus arrhythmia.…”

Current views on antiplatelet therapy in acute coronary syndrome patients: the place of clopidogrel by O. O. Shakhmatova

“…In real clinical practice, clopidogrel is often used because of intolerance, contraindications or unavailability of more powerful P2Y12 receptor blockers. Affordability, good tolerability, greater safety (including in relation to the development of recurrent minor “annoying” bleedings), single dose clopidogrel and availability of fixed combinations with acetylsalicylic acid result in better adherence to treatment with this drug than with more powerful P2Y12 receptor blockers, which in real-world settings may provide a more optimal treatment outcome. …”
