1. Introduction There are currently a wide modalities of interventional strategies – both transcatheter and surgical which can be indicated for patients with valvular heart diseases (VHD), the objective reducing morbidity mortality. The correct timing indication type treatment linked to precise anatomical functional diagnosis VHD, comprehensive global evaluation patient. 2020 Update Brazilian Guidelines in addition compiling [...]

AimsObesity has become a major health problem worldwide. Cardiovascular abnormalities have been described not only in obese adults but also children and adolescents. The aim of the present study was to investigate left right, systolic diastolic ventricular dysfunction paediatric patients without comorbidities using 2D speckle tracking longitudinal strain.
To develop a document by Brazilian Cardiovascular Imaging Department (DIC) and the European Association of (EACVI) to review summarize most recent evidences about non-invasive assessment patients with Chagas disease, intent set up framework for standardized cardiovascular imaging assess morphologic functional disturbances, as well guide subsequent process clinical decision-making.Chagas disease remains one prevalent infectious diseases in Latin America, has become health problem non-endemic...
Obesity has become an important health problem throughout the world. Early detection of cardiovascular abnormalities may be useful in future for patient management. This study aimed to identify subclinical ventricular dysfunction obese patients.
Introduction Heart disease (HD) accounts for high morbidity and mortality in Brazil. Underserved populations often suffer long delays diagnosis. We aimed to evaluate the feasibility of integrating screening echocardiography (echo) with remote interpretation established primary care system (PC) Brazil assess HD prevalence. Methods Over 11 months, 20 healthcare workers (four physicians, four nurses, 12 technicians) at 16 PC centres were trained on simplified handheld echo protocols. Three (SC)...
Background Chagas' disease is an important cause of heart failure, and early identification cardiac involvement may help to identify patients at risk for progression. Two‐dimensional (2D) speckle tracking (ST) strain seems be a useful tool detect incipient ventricular dysfunction. This study aims analyze if 2D can contractility abnormalities in asymptomatic with disease. Methods Seventy‐eight (46% male; age 44.7 ± 8.6 years) normal cardiovascular exams control group 38 healthy subjects (58%...

Abstract Background Women with previous gestational diabetes mellitus (pGDM) face a higher risk of developing type 2 and, consequently, cardiovascular risk. This study aimed to compare the carotid intima-media thickness (cIMT) from young women pGDM those metabolic syndrome (MS) and healthy controls (CG) verify whether past history could be independently associated increased cIMT. Methods is cross-sectional performed in two academic referral centers. Seventy-nine pGDM, 30 MS, 60 CG aged...
