Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) is a congestion and inflammation biomarker has been proved to be related worse prognosis in heart diseases. However, the precise relationship between elevated CA125 patients with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) not yet sufficiently studied. We set out determine association of all-cause mortality at 6 months STEMI. CA125, N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) were measured 245 admitted...
Carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) has long been used as an ovarian cancer biomarker. However, because it is not specific for cells, CA125 could also be to monitor congestion and inflammation in heart disease. Acute failure (HF) identify patients with a worse prognosis ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI). We aimed determine the association of acute HF STEMI compare N-terminal pro brain natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) cross-sectional study. At admission, were examined define...
Background: In the elderly, ankle-brachial index (ABI) has greater than 90% sensitivity and specificity for peripheral artery disease identification. A well-known relation exists between number of diseased coronary vessels. Yet, other anatomical characteristics have important impacts on type treatment prognosis. Purpose: To determine ABI complexity disease, by different classifications. Methods: This study was a prospective analysis patients ≥65 years old who were undergoing elective...
Preservation of astronaut crew health during an exploration mission to the Moon or Mars will be crucial success. The likelyhood a life threatening medical condition occuring has been estimated by NASA 1% per year [1]. Since basic support is vital skill in critical care medicine, plans must place for cardiopulmonary resuscitation both microgravity and hypogravity (i.e. on surface Mars). Following design body suspension device simulate environment, subjects performed external chest...
INTRODUÇÃO: O ultrassom intracoronário (USIC) é um método capaz de fornecer medida sensível e reprodutível das dimensões da artéria coronária, placa aterosclerótica do lúmen arterial. Avanços em sua tecnologia permitem agora a caracterização composição morfologia placas ateroscleróticas. Embora estudos prévios tenham reportado dados utilizando USIC com análise radiofrequência, o uso uma nova modalidade (iMap®, Boston Scientific, Santa Clara, Estados Unidos) muito pouco conhecida. Nosso...
Abstract Background The anatomic substrate of bicuspid valves may lead to suboptimal TAVR stent expansion and geometry. Aim We evaluated determinants geometry in treated with Sapien transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) valves. Methods A multicenter retrospective registry patients (February 2019 August 2022) who underwent post‐TAVR computed tomography determine area (vs. nominal area) ellipticity (maximum diameter/minimum diameter). Predictors relative (minimum area/average inflow +...
Annular and left ventricular outflow tract (LVOT) calcification increase the risk of annular rupture following transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR). The outcomes a strategy routine use balloon-expandable (BEV) for all patients irrespective or LVOT calcium is unknown.We evaluated impact bespoke sizing on in treated with BEV.All consecutive undergoing TAVR at single centre (February 2020-February 2022) were only BEV. No other design was used. Annular/LVOT assessed using standardized...
The goal of this study was to evaluate the performance InspironTM coronary stent (Scitech Medical™, Goiás, Brazil). sirolimus-eluting uses an ultrathin L-605 cobalt-chromium alloy with a 75 μm strut thickness platform coated abluminal biodegradable polymer. polymer is eliminated from body through tricarboxylic acid cycle in 6-9 months, releasing 80% drug within 30 days after its deployment.It prospective, single-center registry. To represent clinical practice, all patients undergoing...

Abstract Objectives We evaluated determinants of stent geometry in bicuspid valves treated with balloon expandable TAVR. Background The anatomic substrate may lead to suboptimal TAVR expansion and geometry. Methods A multicentre observational registry patients who underwent post CT determine area (vs nominal valve area) ellipticity (maximum diameter/minimum diameter). Predictors relative (minimum area/average inflow + outflow were a multivariable regression model including calcium volume,...
Intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) provides a sensitive and reproducible measurement of the coronary artery dimensions, atherosclerotic plaque, arterial lumen. Advances in IVUS technology now allow for characterisation composition morphology plaques. Although previous studies have reported data using with radiofrequency analysis, little is known regarding use new modality (iMap®, Boston Scientific – Santa Clara, CA, USA) plaque characterisation. This study aims to analyse morphological,...
