Tendon degeneration remains an intricate pathological process characterized by the coexistence of multiple dysregulated homeostasis processes, including increase in collagen III production comparison with I. Mesenchymal stem...
Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is a highly sensitive and specific biomarker for the extent of myocardial infarction that strongly related to short- long-term prognosis in patients with acute coronary syndromes.To assess prognostic value BNP levels Portuguese cohort ST-elevation (STEMI) patients.We performed retrospective analysis admitted STEMI included Registry Acute Coronary Syndromes (ProACS) between 2010 2019. Patients were divided into three groups according level (<100 pg/ml, 100-399...
Cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has a unique role in evaluating pericardial disease, permitting non-invasive tissue analysis, and haemodynamic assessment.In Case 1 of recurrent pericarditis, CMR confirmed reactivation inflammation with late gadolinium enhancement native T1/T2 mapping techniques, prompting therapeutic changes. In constrictive is the only modality capable differentiating subacute potentially reversible form (Case 2), from chronic, burnt out irreversible phase characterized by...
Acute coronary syndrome (ACS) is the result of a complex pathophysiological process with various dynamic factors. The 10-item Perceived Stress Scale (PSS-10) validated instrument for estimating stress levels in clinical practice and may be useful assessment ACS.We carried out single-center prospective study engaging patients hospitalized ACS between March 20, 2019 3, 2020. PSS-10 was completed during hospitalization period. group compared to control (the general Portuguese population),...
Numa era em que a doença coronária é uma das principais causas de morte nível mundial, vários estudos referem persistência obstáculos no acesso à revascularização, sobretudo na facilidade intervenção percutânea, podendo tal estar associado piores outcomes. Comparar os outcomes cardiovasculares dos doentes submetidos percutânea (ICP) hospitais com e sem on‐site. Estudo retrospetivo baseado Registo Nacional Síndromes Coronárias Agudas (SCA) – colheita dados 2010 2018. Divisão SCA dois grupos:...
Abstract Background While catheter ablation (CA) has proven effective in managing ventricular arrhythmias (VA) associated with structural heart disease, a portion of patients continue to experience refractory VA despite medical treatment and multiple CA procedures. In such cases, additional techniques, as autonomic neuromodulation, have been explored. Renal denervation (RDN), traditionally performed for the resistant arterial hypertension, inhibits afferent renal sympathetic pathway, leading...
Abstract Introduction Pulmonary vein isolation (PVI) is the cornerstone of atrial fibrillation (AF) catheter ablation. Several extra pulmonary (PV) ablation strategies for substrate modification (PVI plus) have been employed to AF patients. It has not proven that this approach decreases recurrence AF, and it could contribute increase risk developing atypical flutter. Methods Patients submitted at our centre between 2005 2020 were included. Using logistic regression, we did a retrospective...
Abstract The prevalence of lead-induced tricuspid regurgitation (LITR) ranges between 7 to 45%. most frequent mechanism LITR is the impingement leaflets, but right ventricle remodelling, pacing-induced cardiomyopathy and annular dilatation also can contribute severity (TR). Different studies concluded that was associated with an increased risk all-cause mortality heart failure hospitalizations. Beyond diuretics, patients (P) may be candidates for interventional treatment, including lead...
Introdução: A febre tifoide, uma doença bacteriana global endêmica em certas regiões do Brasil, é causada pela Salmonella typhi. transmissão ocorre principalmente por água e alimentos contaminados. Os sintomas variam de alta a complicações graves como hepatoesplenomegalia. O diagnóstico clínico-laboratorial, com tratamento baseado antibióticos hidratação. Objetivo: estudo visa identificar características clínico-epidemiológicas da tifoide populações pediátricas adultas. Métodos: Trata-se um...

Charles Bonnet Syndrome (CBS) is a rare cause of complex visual hallucinations (VH) in individuals with preserved cognitive status. We report case an elderly patient VH, diplopia and headaches for 1 week, acuity without any strength or focal neurological findings. Computed tomography revealed subacute ischaemic stroke temporal occipital involvement. The was admitted to the Department Internal Medicine where neurological, ophthalmological psychiatric primary disease were ruled out, as well...

The authors report a rare case of successful Advanced Life Support in the context cardiac arrest due to presence an anomalous aortic origin right coronary artery 49-year-old patient. patient was admitted chest pain and dyspnea, with rapid evolution pulseless ventricular tachycardia cardiopulmonary arrest. Acute myocardial infarction considered, absence hemodynamic laboratory hospital, thrombolysis performed. Subsequently, angiography revealed no angiographic lesions arteries originating from...
In patients with non-ST-segment elevation acute coronary syndromes (NSTE-ACS), an invasive strategy is recommended. However, the optimal timing to perform angiography (CA) remains undetermined, and this issue has become particularly relevant since 2020 European guidelines restricted pre-treatment (PT) P2Y12 antagonists. To assess prognostic value of early (ES; <24 h) versus a delayed (DS; >24 when no loading dose antagonist given as PT in NSTE-ACS. A retrospective analysis was carried out...
Introdução O procedimento de Bentall foi descrito pela primeira vez há 50 anos e passou por várias melhorias ao longo dos anos. Essa técnica é considerada um seguro antigo. Porém, como qualquer cirurgia, pode apresentar complicações, pseudoaneurismo anastomótico, infarto do miocárdio endocardite. Em países desenvolvidos, com acesso diferenciado a cuidados saúde profilaxia, endocardite uma patologia incomum, associada complicações frequentes altas taxas mortalidade. A antibioticoterapia visa...

OnBehalf Portuguese Registry Acute Coronary Syndromes (ProACS) Introduction The main treatment for ST elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) is the reestablishment coronary flow infarct related artery. However, 50% cases present multivessel disease (MVD), negatively affecting mortality. Complete revascularization (CR) currently advocated since it can reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE). Objective Evaluation...
