Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) is part of the management patients who have suffered an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Patients with a reduced ejection fraction (EF) comprise higher-risk subgroup and are referred less often for these programmes. This study aimed at assessing impact baseline EF on functional benefits, as assessed by peak oxygen uptake (pVO2) exercise duration, EBCR programme in AMI survivors.Observational, retrospective cohort including all admitted to...
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) plays a pivotal role in the management of acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Studies have shown that older individuals worse prognosis after an AMI, attesting to importance risk reduction strategies. We aimed at assessing impact age (patients dichotomized as ≥65 years old or <65 old) on functional benefits EBCR program among AMI survivors.Observational, retrospective cohort study.All patients admitted due who completed phase II discharge, between...
As short-term mortality continues to decrease after myocardial infarction (MI), secondary prevention strategies attain increasing relevance. This study aimed at assessing the control of cardiovascular (CV) risk factors, including dyslipidemia, hypertension and diabetes, in a contemporary cohort MI survivors who completed an exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) program. Observational, retrospective patients admitted tertiary center with acute between November 2012 April 2017, phase II...
Suberosis is an occupational lung disorder of cork industry workers usually presenting as extrinsic allergic alveolitis, but airway involvement in some cases makes the diagnostic approach complex. We assessed peak expiratory flow rates (PEF) 17 with asthma symptoms that worsened at work, comparing three methods PEF graph analysis. Complete agreement (three observers) was found 12 (70.6%) visual inspection mean daily values and 11 (64.7%) minimum, maximum, (without any consensus two cases)....
Exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) is paramount after an acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Older individuals have been reported as having a worse prognosis AMI, and some series differences in the functional response to EBCR. The peak circulatory power (CP), non-invasive parameter, has described surrogate for power, showing promising results comprehensive measure of cardiovascular response. Whilst this, data concerning impact EBCR on CP, particularly among elderly individuals,...
O Sarcoma da Artéria Pulmonar é um tumor raro, apresentando-se com sinais e sintomas inespecíficos, simulando por vezes o Tromboembolismo (TEP), que torna seu diagnóstico difícil tardio. A este propósito os autores apresentam caso de homem 59 anos, ex-fumador, internado dispneia esforço, toracalgia gerais. Portador uma radiografia TAC torácicas, ambas evidenciando imagens sugestivas Trombose Direita. Analiticamente antes qualquer terapêutica: Inibidor Lúpico ↑ anticardiolipina IgM +....
Objetivo: Evaluar las percepciones de la enfermedad que se asocian con hábitos vida saludable en pacientes enfermedades crónicas Medellín y municipios aledaños. Método: Estudio prospectivo correlacional basado aplicación del cuestionario breve (BIPQ), salud paciente (PHQ-9), ansiedad generalizada (GAD-7) un saludable. Participaron 51 diferentes crónicas: migraña, cáncer seno, diabetes, artritis reumatoide, cardiovascular e hipertensión arterial primaria. La evaluación los llevó a cabo tres...

Exercise stress testing can have a central role in the assessment of cardiovascular disease. Contemporary data, however, has highlighted added value imaging modalities over exercise electrocardiogram investigation coronary artery Given physiological changes associated with and possibility to address other parameters such as rhythm chronotropic response, continuous electrocardiographic monitoring still an important place contemporary clinical practice. We report case complete atrioventricular...
cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT), and which of these two factors is the most important predictor remains unclear.Purpose: We aimed to assess importance patient comorbidity profile in survival HF patients undergoing CRT.Methods: Single-centre retrospective assessment 697 consecutive CRT implants during a 12-year period.Patient was assessed using Charlson index, Age-Comorbidity Index (CACI).Predictors free from heart transplantation were assessed.CRT-related complications cause death...
Abstract Depression and stress have been related with poor Health Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) prognosis. However, it is not clear when these depressive symptoms should be measured. A sample 177 Coronary Heart Disease patients were followed for 15 months aimed to compare the effect depression measure at time hospitalization three later on physical HRQoL trajectory. Linear growth models’ results showed that after discharge are negatively correlated affect prognosis patients.
Heart failure (HF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite major advances in the treatment of HF, there are still important unmet needs among this patient population. Cardiac rehabilitation has a central role cardiovascular prevention for overall disease management, can have an impact HF patients. The authors present brief overview on current cardiac patients contemporary setting discuss some areas future research context intervention.
