Major cardiac complications are responsible for at least a third of perioperative deaths and are associated with significant morbidity, prolonged hospitalization and increased costs. This number is expected to rise as more surgeries are undertaken in older and frailer patients. The term myocardial
- Objective: To determine the effect of the daily addition of five mL of an O3 highly concentrated substance (EicosaPentaenoic Acid - EPA: 2.25 g and DocosaHexaenoic Acid - DHA: 1.08 g), to the standard enteral nutrition diet during RT (5-7 weeks), on the Quality of Life (QoL) and Functionality (Fx)
Even the invasive treatment of coronaropathy during hospitalization, with angioplasty and stent implantation procedures and/or the eventual implantation of temporary mechanical blood circulation assistant devices [aortic counterpulsation, Impella, ECMO (Extracorporeal Membrane Oxygenation)], could
