Background: Left atrial (LA) volume indexing for body surface area (BSA) may underestimate LA size in obese and overweight people. Since is a risk marker some cardiovascular events, it suggested that height would be an alternative more appropriate method. The aims of this study were to find normal the best cutoff values indexed our population.
Tricuspid valve repair during mitral replacement surgery remains a controversial topic. The risk-benefit ratio in some populations uncertain, especially rheumatic heart disease patients. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the impact of concomitant tricuspid on surgical mortality patients undergoing cardiac due who have moderate severe functional regurgitation.
Abstract Background Recently, it was demonstrated that allopurinol, a xanthine oxidase inhibitor, has cardiovascular and anti-ischaemic properties may be metabolic antianginal agent option.Objective: The objective of this study to evaluate the effect allopurinol as third drug for patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods This randomized clinical trial between 2018 2020 including CAD who maintained angina despite initial optimization beta-blockers calcium channel blockers....
Fundamento: A terapia de ressincronização cardíaca (TRC) traz benefícios para pacientes com insuficiência (IC) que apresentam bloqueio ramo esquerdo. No entanto, os da TRC em estimulação prévia ainda são incertos. Objetivo: Comparar a mortalidade curto prazo entre o upgrade e implantação novo. Métodos: Estudo coorte prospectiva incluiu IC indicados fração ejeção do ventrículo esquerdo (FEVE) inferior 35%. sobrevida global foi avaliada pelo método Kaplan-Meier, análise multivariada realizada...
Objective: In a population of patients undergoing cardiac surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease, evaluate the impact preoperative PH on early surgical mortality. Methods: This is prospective cohort carried out from January 1, 2017 to December 30, 2020. All over 18 years age who underwent correct disease with functional tricuspid regurgitation in an echocardiogram performed up 6 months before were included. Systolic pulmonary artery pressure (sPAP) value was also defined by evaluation....
Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) improves outcomes in heart failure (HF) patients with left bundle branch block (LBBB).However, the benefits of CRT previous pacing are still uncertain.The aim is to compare short-term mortality between upgrade and De novo-CRT implantation.Methods: Prospective cohort study that included HF indicated for ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) less than 35%.Data were collected investigate predictors after 1 year.The overall survival was...
Background: Left atrial (LA) volume indexing for body surface area (BSA) may underestimate LA size in obese and overweight people. Since is a risk marker some cardiovascular events, it suggested that height would be an alternative more apropriated method. The aims of this study were to find normal the best cutoff values indexed our population. Methods: Echocardiograms from 2018 2021 reviewed patients without known cardiac disease completely echocardiograms had left (LAvol) measured by...
Abstract Introduction Observational studies differ on the impact of performing tricuspid repair surgical mortality. Some demonstrate increased mortality related to right ventricular failure and circulatory shock, while there are other that evidence improvement in quality life signs heart long time. Objective To evaluate concomitant annuloplasty patients undergoing cardiac surgery for rheumatic mitral valve disease, who have moderate severe regurgitation. Methods This is a prospective cohort...
