Abstract Background Microvascular dysfunction (MVD) constitutes one of the most important pathophysiological features in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM). Chronic and recurrent myocardial ischemia potentially contributes to arrhythmic risk, namely atrial fibrillation (AF). Purpose To analyze impact MVD occurrence AF HCM patients (P), assessed by coronary flow velocity reserve (CFVR) on echocardiography (echo) cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR). Methods Prospective study, which enrolled...
Objetivo: Analisar a importância da monitoria acadêmica no contexto disciplina Bases Celulares e Moleculares II (BCMOL II) do curso de Odontologia, destacando seu impacto desenvolvimento dos discentes, tanto monitorados quanto monitores, sua contribuição para formação profissional. Relato experiência: As atividades foram desenvolvidas por monitores disciplina. No dia 01/04/2024 deu-se início às na referida disciplina, onde elaboradas realizadas diversas remotas presenciais, sendo relevante o...
Cardiorenal syndrome (CRS) is common in acute heart failure (AHF), and associated with dire prognosis. Levosimendan, a positive inotrope that also has diuretic effects, may improve patients' renal profile. Published results are conflicting.We aimed to assess the incidence of CRS AHF patients according used determine its predictors order identify who could benefit from most renoprotective inotrope.In retrospective study, 108 consecutive required inotropes were divided into two groups...
Brugada syndrome, first described over 20 years ago, is characterized by a typical electrocardiographic pattern with coved-type ST-segment elevation in the right precordial leads and high risk of sudden death otherwise healthy young adults. The sometimes intermittent, fever possible trigger. authors present case 68-year-old woman who came to emergency department syncope. A diagnosis community-acquired pneumonia was made. electrocardiogram performed when patient had revealed type 1 pattern,...
THROMBOLYSIS IN MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION (TIMI), PLATELET GLYCOPROTEIN IIB/IIIA UNSTABLE ANGINA: Receptor Suppression Using Integrilin (PURSUIT) and Global Registry of Acute Coronary Events (GRACE) scores have been developed for risk stratification in myocardial infarction (MI). The latter is the most validated score, yet active research ongoing improving prognostication MI.Derivation validation a new model intrahospital, post-discharge combined/total all-cause mortality prediction -...
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...
O valor prognóstico do realce tardio na estratificação dos doentes com miocardiopatia hipertrófica é controverso. Este trabalho pretende avaliar a associação entre presença de ressonância magnética cardíaca e características clínicas, imagiológicas prognósticas em hipertrófica. De 78 avaliámos retrospetivamente 53, que realizaram cardíaca. Os foram divididos dois grupos, conforme ou ausência tardio. Foi feito seguimento clínico referente disritmia ventricular morbi‐mortalidade. eram mais...
A síndrome de Brugada, descrita há cerca 20 anos, caracteriza‐se eletrocardiograficamente por uma elevação convexa do segmento‐ST nas derivações precordiais direitas e pelo elevado risco morte súbita em jovens aparentemente saudáveis. Este padrão eletrocardiográfico é, vezes, intermitente, sendo a febre um possível fator precipitante. Os autores apresentam o caso clínico doente 68 anos que recorre ao serviço urgência síncope. Feito diagnóstico pneumonia adquirida na comunidade. O...
A insuficiência cardíaca aguda na estenose aórtica grave com compromisso da função sistólica global tem um prognóstico reservado, opções terapêuticas limitadas. Os autores descrevem o caso clínico de doente admitido por enfarte agudo do miocárdio sem supradesnivelamento ST, no qual estudo complementar revelou grave, boa ventricular esquerda, e doença coronária 2 vasos. O desenvolvimento choque cardiogénico, global, ao quarto dia internamento, alterou a estratégia terapêutica, optando-se...
Acute heart failure in patients with severe aortic stenosis and left ventricular systolic dysfunction is well known for its dire prognosis limited therapeutic options. The authors describe the case of a man admitted non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction. Diagnostic exams revealed stenosis, good function, two-vessel coronary artery disease. development cardiogenic shock on day four led to changes strategy. Percutaneous balloon valvuloplasty coupled complete revascularization was performed...
The authors report the case of a patient diagnosed with both hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and aortic stenosis. Due to clinical deterioration, additional investigation was performed, high left ventricular outflow tract gradient identified. Correct identification condition causing symptoms challenging, involved several imaging techniques, contribution transesophageal echocardiography being crucial. final diagnosis severe stenosis led successful valve replacement surgery. presence these two...

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:...
Introduction: Glaucoma-related dry eye disease (DED) is often underestimated, but it an important comorbidity affecting 40% to 59% of glaucoma patients. It may be exacerbation a pre-existing condition or novel starting after the initiation topical medication. The cumulative effect medication, preservatives and excipients leads alteration in tear film composition ocular surface stability. main purpose this investigation was study group Portuguese patients regarding presence DED symptoms...
<h3>Background:</h3> Spondyloarthritis (SpA) comprise a complex group of inflammatory arthropathies that can involve both axial and peripheral joints, often associated with extra-musculoskeletal manifestations, particularly psoriasis. The distinction between Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) involvement SpA (axSpA) concomitant psoriasis has been topic debate, potentially influencing clinical decisions. <h3>Objectives:</h3> To identify demographic characteristics clinician's decision to diagnose...
<h3>Background:</h3> Psoriatic Arthritis (PsA) is part of the spectrum spondyloarthritis (SpA), a diverse group inflammatory arthropathies involving sacroiliac, spine and peripheral joints. PsA can be categorized as either axial or predominantly disease. Axial (axPsA) may occur exclusively concomitantly with involvement. The prevalence exclusive axPsA estimated at 5% patients increasing to 25-70% when associated arthritis. However, absence consensus definition for makes real difficult...
Atrial wall thickness (AWT) is a significant factor in understanding the pathological physiological substrate of atrial fibrillation, with potentially substantial impact on outcomes catheter ablation procedures. Precise measurements AWT may provide valuable insights for categorising patients AF and planning targeted interventions. Objectives: The purpose this study was to evaluate characteristics left atrium (LA) using non-invasive multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) scans subsequent...
