Abstract The impact of COVID‐19 on cardiorespiratory fitness (CRF) is negative, increasing the likelihood exertional symptoms such as fatigue and shortness breath, adversely affecting vascular function, impairing cardiovascular health. This study investigated endothelial function its relationship with CRF in patients who have recovered COVID‐19. Patients were evaluated 1 month after infection, including clinical assessment, pulmonary (measured by flow‐mediated dilation), cardiopulmonary...
Abstract Our aim was to identify optimal cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) threshold values that distinguish disease severity progression in patients with co-existing systolic heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary (COPD), evaluate the impact of cut-off determined on prognosis hospitalizations. We evaluated 40 (30 men 10 woman) HF COPD through function testing, doppler echocardiography maximal incremental CPET a cycle ergometer. Several significant were identified...
The goal of the present study was to compare pulmonary function test (PFT) and cardiopulmonary exercise (CPET) performance in COVID-19 survivors with a control group (CG). This cross-sectional study. Patients diagnosed COVID-19, without severe signs symptoms, were evaluated one month after infection. Healthy volunteers matched for sex age constituted group. All underwent following assessments: i) clinical evaluation, ii) PTF; iii) CPET on cycle ergometer. Metabolic variables measured by...
Our aim was to assess: 1) the impact of eccentric left ventricular hypertrophy (ELVH) on exercise performance in patients diagnosed with chronic heart failure (CHF) alone and co-existing CHF obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) 2) relationship between right cardiac function measurements obtained by doppler echocardiography, clinical characteristics primary measures cardiorespiratory fitness.The current study included 46 (CHF:23 CHF+COPD:23) that performed advanced tests, echocardiography...
The objective of this study was to investigate the impact chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)-heart failure (HF) coexistence on linear and nonlinear dynamics heart rate variability (HRV). Forty-one patients (14 with COPD-HF 27 HF) were enrolled underwent function echocardiography evaluation confirm clinical diagnosis. Heart (HR) R-R intervals (iRR) collected during active postural maneuver (APM) [supine (10 min) orthostasis min)], respiratory sinus arrhythmia (RSA-M) (4 min),...
Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and abnormalities of left ventricular (LV) geometry often coexist. This study aimed to verify whether LV is associated with airflow obstruction, functional capacity, grip strength in COPD patients.Thirty-seven patients (GOLD II, III, IV) were allocated three groups according as assessed by transthoracic echocardiography: normal (n = 13), concentric remodeling 8), hypertrophy (LVH) 16). Lung function was using spirometry. The Duke Activity Status...
Abstract Our aim was to evaluate: (1) the prevalence of coexistence heart failure (HF) and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) in studied patients; (2) impact HF + COPD on exercise performance contrasting responses patients with only a diagnosis or COPD; (3) relationship between clinical characteristics measures cardiorespiratory fitness; (4) verify occurrence cardiopulmonary events follow-up period up 24 months years. The current study included 124 (HF: 46, COPD: 53 25) that...
Background: Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) leads to and systemic involvement that could damage the cardiac autonomic modulation (CAM), increasing cardiovascular risks mortality rates. The sleep apnea (OSA) syndrome is also associated harmed CAM. However, it not clear if presence of OSA in COPD patients causes an additional loss on nervous function. Objective: To compare responses CAM during respiratory sinus arrhythmia maneuver (RSA-M) between with overlapped isolation....
RACIONAL: Risco nutricional mede o potencial de morbimortalidade associado ao estado nutricional. A obesidade é um distúrbio cada vez mais presente em hospitais gerais e pode estar acompanhada alteração com conseqüências prejudiciais à evolução clínica do doente, além ser fator a complicações pós-operatórias morte. OBJETIVO: Identificar risco através da ferramenta triagem Malnutrition Universal Screening Tool verificar desfecho pós-operatórias, buscando associação entre obesidade. MÉTODOS:...
Background: The heart rate (HR) kinetics as well other predictors of functional capacity such the Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) Assessment Test (CAT), Duke Activity Status Index (DASI) and handgrip strength (HGS) represent important tools in assessing impact COPD on exercise performance health status individuals with COPD. Purpose: To verify relationship between capacity, measured using six-minute walking test (6MWT), HR off-kinetics, HGS DASI CAT scores. Methods: For this...
