RESUMO A insuficiência cardíaca aguda (ICA) representa um dos principais desafios na prática clínica, dada a sua alta morbidade e mortalidade. Este artigo revisa as abordagens terapêuticas atuais no tratamento da ICA, com ênfase nas terapias descongestionantes, como o uso de diuréticos intravenosos, análise benefícios limitações adicionais, vasodilatadores inotrópicos. Além disso, são discutidos os modelos cuidado multidisciplinar (HF-MPs), que têm se mostrado eficazes redução mortalidade...
Objective: The objective of this study is to compare, based on scientific evidence, the Off-Pump and On-Pump myocardial revascularization techniques, analyzing their effectiveness in terms morbidity, mortality, recovery time, aiming identify most advantageous approach for different patient profiles. Method: This an integrative literature review conducted SciELO PubMed databases. keywords “Revascularização Miocárdica” “Cirurgia Cardíaca” were used SciELO, while search strategy was "Surgery"...
Acromioclavicular joint (ACJ) injuries are uncommon in adolescents because their ligaments particularly strong at this age. Therefore, an immature skeleton, to the lateral clavicle more likely result physeal fractures rather than coracoclavicular disruption. This report presents case of a 16-year-old male patient, high-level basketball player, who sustained high-grade ACJ dislocation following sports-related trauma. Clinical examination and imaging confirmed Rockwood Type V dislocation....
Takotsubo cardiomyopathy, also known as broken heart syndrome is a stress-induced which can be interpreted an acute coronary it progresses with suggestive electrocardiographic changes. The purpose of this article to show the importance proper monitoring during surgery, well presence interdisciplinary team diagnose syndrome. Male patient, 66 years old, diagnosis gastric carcinoma, scheduled for diagnostic laparoscopy and possible gastrectomy. In intraoperative period laparoscopy, patient...
Abstract Background Tobacco smoke is one of the most significant risk factors for cardiovascular diseases and damages in myocardial tissue directly. Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been used a promising tool to evaluate morphometry cardiac function humans. The objective this study was associations smoking with by CMR technique young adult smokers. Methods Altogether, 49 volunteers (22 smokers 27 non-smokers) were included study. comparisons between groups performed multiple linear...
Abstract Aims Quadricuspid aortic valve (QAV) is a rare abnormality, which may cause regurgitation (AR) requiring surgical intervention in some patients. The characteristics associated with functional degeneration patients QAV are still unknown. aim of this study to describe prevalence, characterize the disease by multimodality imaging, evaluate predictors severe AR, and assess mid-term prognosis. Methods results Retrospective search imaging exams database one tertiary centre, for diagnosed...
A cardiomiopatia de takotsubo, também conhecida como síndrome do coração partido, é uma induzida por estresse que pode ser interpretada coronária aguda, pois cursa com alterações eletrocardiográficas sugestivas. O objetivo presente artigo mostrar a importância monitoração adequada no intraoperatório, assim presença equipe interdisciplinar para o diagnóstico da síndrome. Doente masculino, 66 anos, carcinoma gástrico, proposto laparoscopia diagnóstica e possível gastrectomia. No...
Zolmitriptan is a drug used in the acute treatment of migraine, which should not be high cardiovascular risk individuals because its potential to induce vasospasm. We report rare case myocardial infarction precipitated by taking zolmitriptan.
Acute myocardial infarction (AMI) involving acute transmural ischemia of two vascular territories at the same time, which is known as double or combined infarction, a well described phenomenon but rarely reported in most series patients admitted for AMI. This may be related to fact that AMI with multiple vessel obstruction often causes extensive injury and death before patient arrives hospital. It speculated results from overall prothrombotic inflammatory conditions associated O enfarte...
Zolmitriptan is a drug used in the acute treatment of migraine, which should not be high cardiovascular risk individuals because its potential to induce vasospasm. We report rare case myocardial infarction precipitated by taking zolmitriptan. O zolmitriptano é um fármaco usado no tratamento agudo da enxaqueca, que pelo potencial de induzir vasoespasmo não deve ser utilizado em indivíduos com risco elevado, doença cardíaca isquémica (DCI) e ou história coronário. Relatamos o caso raro enfarte...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Alcoholic cardiomyopathy is a severe consequence chronic alcohol abuse and causes gradual changes in the structure function heart, being form dilated cardiomyopathy. Purpose To characterize population patients (pts) with alcoholic (AC) terms baseline characteristics, echocardiographic parameters, consumption, medication outcomes. We also intended to evaluate impact reduction/cessation. Methods performed...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: Public grant(s) – EU funding. Main source(s): Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation project. Background Appropriate nutrition physical activity (PA) are essential for the management a large number non-communicable diseases. Nonetheless, our lifestyle is characterized by an irregular often poorly balanced dietary pattern insufficient PA. Purpose The digital health application PROTEIN, which was developed within framework H2020 project...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) has a functional definition. However, differences in clinical characteristics and systemic manifestations make COPD heterogeneous some have been associated with different risks of acute exacerbations, hospitalizations, death. Objective: Therefore, the objective study was to evaluate possible clusters at two centers Brazil identify exacerbation mortality rate during 1 year follow-up. Methods: We included patients all underwent an...
Smoking can change the metabolism of lipids in myocardium, which may contribute to cardiac remodeling. However, there is no data about influence smoking cessation myocardial triglyceride deposition evaluated by magnetic resonance (CMR) with protons spectroscopy. <b>Objective:</b> Evaluate triglycerides before and after CMR <b>Methods:</b> This a pilot study we assessed 28 healthy smokers reevaluated 10 (37.3 ± 8.0 years) one month cessation. We used 3 Teslas quantify levels evaluate...
<b>Introduction:</b> Active smoking is relate to increased risk of cardiovascular disease and the toxic effects cigarette smoke were associated with myocardial damage changes in cardiac remodeling. However, all mechanisms caused by are not fully understood. Objective: Evaluate association between structural functional healthy smokers. <b>Methods:</b> This a pilot study evaluate morphometric function echocardiography, carotid intimal-medial thickness pulmonary 6 active smokers (37.0 ± 4.6...

There is a possibility that cardiac morphometric characteristics are associated with the lipid profile, is, composition and concentration of triglycerides, total cholesterol, HDL, LDL, others lipoproteins in young smokers without comorbidities. Thus, this study aimed to evaluate association characteristics, myocardial fat deposition, smoking cessation profile smokers.A clinical laboratory evaluation lipids status was performed on 57 individuals, including both smoker group control group....
Experimental and clinical studies showed direct toxic effects of cigarette smoke in the cardiac remodeling, independently hemodynamic effects. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a promising tool to evaluate right left functions. <b>Objects:</b> To morphometry function heart smokers healthy never smokers. <b>Methods:</b> It was used MRI evaluated for ventricles. <b>Results:</b> We twenty-seven (34.8 ± 4.5 years) 22 4.6 years). Morphological variables were not different between...
Smoking can change the metabolism of lipids in myocardium, which may contribute to cardiac remodeling. However, noninvasive assessment myocardial triglyceride deposition is being developed with use magnetic resonance (CMR) protons spectroscopy. <b>Objective:</b> Evaluate triglycerides smokers and non-smokers by CMR <b>Methods:</b> We evaluated 22 (34.8±4.6 years) 27 (34.8±4.5 (p=0.97) 3 Teslas quantify levels each group. <b>Results:</b> The average weight 74.5 ± 15.6 kg vs 75.6 12.6 (p=0.78)...
