Cardiovascular Disease PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: Spatial QRS T-angle (spQRS T-a) is considered as a novel electrocardiography derived marker of independent predictive value of electrical instability in cardiac disease. Cardiac involvement in sarcoidosis is often underdiagnosed, although a significant contributor to mortality. The present study was conducted to test the hypothesis that patients with sarcoidosis have increased ventricular repolarisation heterogeneity as reflected by spQRS-Ta values. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Elias Gialafos, Vasileios Kouranos, Aggeliki Rapti, Efrosyni Manali, Konstantina Aggeli, Elias Perros, Theodore Papaioannou, Petros Sfikakis, Christodoulos Stefanadis, George Tzelepis, Athol Wells, Nikolaos KoulourisNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.

COPD Epidemiology & Physiology PostersSESSION TYPE: Poster PresentationsPRESENTED ON: Saturday, March 22, 2014 at 01:15 PM - 02:15 PMPURPOSE: European respiratory society (ERS) guidelines recommend to stratify patients with acute exacerbations of COPD (AECOPD) according to the presence or not of risk factors(RF) for Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA). There is controversy regarding the need to empirically cover PA in clinical practice. Therefore a better understanding of the prevalence and RF for PA in hospitalized patients with AECOPD is critical in order to appropriately adhere to clinical practice guidelines. Aim: 1) Determine the prevalence of PA pathogens and PA risk RF in hospitalized patients with AECOPD; and 2) Assess the association of PA isolation and PA RF among hospitalized patients with AECOPD. ⋯ The following authors have nothing to disclose: Pedro Marcos, Pilar Sanjuan, Santiago Rodriguez-Segade, Natalia Uribe-Giraldo, Marina Blanco-Aparicio, Isabel Otero, Jorge Ricoy, Hector Verea, Marcos RestrepoNo Product/Research Disclosure Information.
