Healthcare workers exposed to coronavirus (COVID-19) may not have adequate access personal protective equipment (PPE), safety procedures, and diagnostic protocols. Our objective was evaluate the reality perceptions about among healthcare in Latin America. This is a cross-sectional, online survey-based study administered 936 professionals America from 31 March 2020 4 April 2020. A 12-item structured questionnaire developed. total of completed survey. Of them, 899 (95.1%) were physicians, 28...
Background Other than aspirin, there are few oral antithrombotic treatments with proven efficacy in patients acute coronary syndrome. In this report, we present the rationale, design and baseline characteristics of Clopidogrel Unstable angina to prevent Recurrent ischaemic Events (CURE) trial, which includes a meta-analysis effects thienopyridines vascular disease.
Chagas disease (ChD), a Neglected Tropical Disease, has witnessed transformative epidemiological landscape characterized by trend of reduction in prevalence, shifting modes transmission, urbanization, and globalization. Historically vector-borne rural areas Latin America, effective control measures have reduced the incidence many countries, leading to demographic shift where most affected individuals are now adults. However, challenges persist regions like Gran Chaco, emerging oral...
<strong>Introduction:</strong> Neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) are a group of infections that prevalent in many the and sub-tropical developing countries where poverty is rampant. NTDs have remained largely unnoticed global health agenda. There substantial gap between burden disease for cardiovascular (CVD) research devoted to affected populations. We created Latin-American initiative with emerging leaders (EL) from Interamerican Society Cardiology (IASC) objective perform multiple...
As an Inter-American Society we are convinced of the need to standardize steps in which diagnose, evaluate, treat and control hypertension, establishing guidelines rules that should be adopted all countries Latin America, aimed at standardizing management CV risk order achieve a substantial decrease events.In last four years important international for diagnosis, management, treatment arterial hypertension have been published. In mostly mid- low-income countries, is major problem public...
To assess both ventricular function and myocardial perfusion, five normal volunteers, 19 patients with coronary artery disease, two cardiomyopathy arteries were injected 20 mCi of Tc-99m isonitrile (either methoxyisobutyl or carbomethoxyisopropyl isonitrile) at peak bicycle exercise again rest. A standard Tl-201 stress test was performed in all the same level within one month study. In subjects, perfusion levels left ejection fraction increased 5% more exercise. response to abnormal 14...
Chagas' disease is a parasitic affliction, endemic to certain regions of South America, which may lead chronic dilated nonischemic cardiomyopathy. Ten Chagasic patients were compared 18 coronary undergoing transvenous ICD implantation for ventricular tachycardia (VT), fibrillation (VF), or aborted cardiac arrest. Indications either drug intolerance refractoriness, no inducible tachyarrhythmia at EPS. There statistically significant differences between the Chagas and artery groups with...
Sodium glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with heart failure reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). Clinicians may find estimates of the projected long-term benefits sodium a helpful addition to clinical trial results when communicating this class drug patients.To estimate treatment effects dapagliflozin HFrEF over duration patient's lifetime.Exploratory analysis was performed Dapagliflozin Prevention Adverse Outcomes Heart Failure (DAPA-HF), phase 3...
<strong>Background:</strong> SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has modified the cardiovascular care of ambulatory patients. The aim this survey was to study changes in lifestyle habits, treatment adherence, and mental health status patients with cardiometabolic disease, but no clinical evidence COVID-19. <strong>Methods:</strong> A cross-sectional conducted disease using paper/digital surveys. Variables investigated included socioeconomic status, physical activity, diet, tobacco use, alcohol intake,...
The time to first ICD shock has been extensively studied in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). However, there are no published data on shocks Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChC). occurrence of the appropriate during 6 months follow-up 20 ChC (group 1) and 35 CAD 2) was analyzed retrospectively. All had received a third-generation pectoral for ventricular tachycardia or fibrillation (VT/VF). Indications implantation were refractoriness drug therapy noninducibility VT/VF at EPS cardiac...
ResumenEl tratamiento del infarto agudo de miocardio con elevación segmento ST tiene barreras dependiendo la región geográfica.La angioplastia coronaria primaria es el elección, siempre y cuando sea realizada dentro tiempo por operadores experimentados.Sin embargo, no está disponible, administración fibrinólisis envío para rescate, en caso reperfusión negativa, mejor estrategia.De misma manera, coronaria, como parte una estrategia farmacoinvasiva, alternativa hay positiva.El desarrollo redes...
Influenza vaccination (IV) and Pneumococcus (PV) are recommended for patients with cardiometabolic diseases. This study aimed to evaluate the immunization rate of ambulatory during COVID-19 pandemic in Americas.Electronic surveys were collected from 13 Spanish speaking countries between 15 June July 2020.4216 analyzed. Mean age 60 (±15) years 49% females. Global IV was 46.5% PV 24.6%. Vaccinated older (IV = 63 vs. 58 years; 68 59, p < 0.01) but without gender difference. Vaccination rates...

Although the cardiovascular (CV) polypill concept is not new and several guidelines state that a CV should be considered an integral part of comprehensive disease (CVD) prevention strategy, there are still some barriers to its implementation in real-world setting, mainly secondary prevention. As CNIC-polypill only one approved for patients with atherosclerotic CVD 27 countries worldwide, panel four discussants 30 participants from 18 conveyed virtual meeting on April 21, 2022, discuss key...
