Background and Aim: Left ventricular thrombus (LVT) is a common complication of myocardial infarction (MI) heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF), typically managed vitamin K antagonists (VKAs) for up to six months. However, data on direct oral anticoagulants (DOACs) LVT treatment remain limited conflicting. This study evaluates the effectiveness safety DOACs compared warfarin resolution. Methods: We conducted single-center retrospective cohort consecutive patients diagnosed...
Abstract Background Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) treatment is aimed at inducing remission to prevent joint destruction and disability. However, it unclear what the long-term impact on health-related outcomes of timing biological disease-modifying antirheumatic drug (bDMARD) initiation in JIA. Our aim was evaluate time between JIA onset a bDMARD achieving clinical remission, physical disability quality life (HRQoL). Methods Adult patients registered Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese...
To compare physical disability, mental health, fatigue and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) across juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) categories in adulthood between JIA adult-onset rheumatic diseases.Cross-sectional analysis nested a cohort adult patients with registered the Rheumatic Diseases Portuguese Register (Reuma.pt). Physical disability (Health Assessment Questionnaire-Disability Index), health symptoms (Hospital Anxiety Depression Scale), (Functional Chronic Illness...
Patients' objectives and experiences must be core to the study management of chronic diseases, such as SSc. Although patient-reported outcomes are attracting increasing attention, evaluation impact disease on overall subjective well-being, equivalent 'happiness', is remarkably lacking.To examine determinants happiness quality life in patients with SSc, emphasis features personality traits.Observational, cross-sectional multicentre study, including 142 patients, complete data regarding...
Abstract Background Cardiogenic shock (CS) is a complex syndrome that still portends dismal short-term prognosis. However, in patients survive the initial admission and are later discharged, long-term prognosis remains ill-characterized. Aim We aimed to describe morbidity mortality outcomes of surviving index for CS. Methods Retrospective analysis all consecutive admitted cardiac intensive care unit (CICU) between December 2016 2022 with diagnosis All etiologies were included further...
Abstract Introduction Circulating lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been associated with the risk of atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (CAD) and is an emergent therapeutic target. The objective this study to explore association between serum levels Lp(a) previous myocardial infarction (MI) and/or revascularization extension obstructive CAD in patients acute MI undergoing angiography. Methods All consecutive who underwent angiography measurement May November 2023 were included. Patient data...
Abstract Introduction Atrioventricular (AV) conductions abnormalities that require permanent pacemaker (PPM) occur in up to 20% of patients after TAVI. The evolution conduction and the long-time pacing burden have not been fully characterized. We aim characterize ventricular TAVI assessing also impact clinical periprocedural factors. Methods Single centre retrospective registry including all consecutive undergoing between 01/2014 08/2021 had a PPM implanted during index admission. Patients...
Abstract Introduction In developed countries, the incidence of infective endocarditis (IE) is up to 6 cases per 100,000 individuals and in-hospital mortality rates are reported reach 30%. The diagnostic recommendations for IE have been revised in new ESC guidelines emphasizing use transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) advanced imaging techniques (computed tomography [CT], magnetic resonance [MR], positron emission [PET] white blood cell scintigraphy [WBC-SPECT]). Aims This research aims...
<h3>Background</h3> Gout is a frequent inflammatory disease characterized by deposition of monosodium urate crystals in joints and tissues the presence hyperuricemia (1). Ultrasound (US) simple imaging technique that has gained interest assessment individuals with gout due to its ability identify inflammation joint damage, as well crystal deposition. The most characteristic US findings are intra-articular aggregates double contour (DC) signal, included 2015 ACR/EULAR classification criteria....
<h3>Background</h3> Patients with rheumatic inflammatory conditions have an increased risk of premature death due to cardiovascular causes. It can be explained by the unfavourable interaction between process and traditional factors. In obesity, especially if visceral, in diseases, there is production pro-inflammatory cytokines, which contributes increase risk. The influence body mass index (BMI) on evolution, activity quality life rheumatoid arthritis (RA) psoriatic (PsA) has been proven....
