Background: Recent research efforts on bariatric surgery have focused metabolic and diabetes mellitus resolution. Randomized trials designed to assess the impact of in patients with obesity hypertension are needed. Methods: In this randomized, single-center, nonblinded trial, we included (using ≥2 medications at maximum doses or >2 moderate doses) a body mass index between 30.0 39.9 kg/m 2 . Patients were randomized Roux-en-Y gastric bypass plus medical therapy alone. The primary end...
The triglyceride-glucose index (TyG index) is a tool for insulin resistance evaluation, however, little known about its association with coronary artery disease (CAD), which the major cardiovascular death cause, and what factors may be associated TyG index.
Background: Male pattern baldness (MPB) also known as androgenetic alopecia (AA) affects approximately half of men by the fifth decade, and significantly influences both psychological well-being quality life. Existing pharmacotherapies include oral finasteride, which reduces dihydrotestosterone (DHT) levels slows follicular miniaturization, topical minoxidil, enhances blood flow extends anagen phase. However, adherence to regimens can be suboptimal. A combined low-dose minoxidil (2.5...
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutrition Program (BALANCE Program) on plasma levels various apolipoproteins (A-I, A-II, B, C-II, C-III, and E) lipid biomarkers over a three-year follow-up period in individuals undergoing secondary cardiovascular prevention. exploratory analysis included 276 patients aged 45 years or older with history disease within preceding decade. Participants were randomly assigned one two groups monitored three years: BALANCE group...
Proinflammatory biomarkers levels are increased among patients with cardiovascular disease, and it is known that both the presence of insulin resistance diet may influence those levels. However, these associations not well studied established disease. Our objective to compare inflammatory biomarker disease secondary prevention without resistance, evaluate if there any association between plasma fatty acid them. In this cross-sectional sub-study from BALANCE Program Trial, we collected data...
Bariatric surgery is an effective strategy for blood pressure (BP) reduction, but most of the evidence relies on office BP measurements. In this study, we evaluated impact bariatric 24-hour profile, variability, and resistant hypertension prevalence. This a randomized trial including obese patients with grade 1 2 using at least antihypertensive drugs maximal doses or >2 moderate doses. Patients were allocated to either Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass (RYGB) combined medical therapy alone 12 months....
Appropriate dietary recommendations represent a key part of secondary prevention in cardiovascular disease (CVD). We evaluated the effectiveness implementation nutritional program on quality diet, events, and death patients with established CVD.In this open-label, multicenter trial conducted 35 sites Brazil, we randomly assigned (1:1) aged 45 years or older to receive either BALANCE Program (experimental group) conventional nutrition advice (control group). The included unique education...
OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the effectiveness of Brazilian Cardioprotective Diet Program in reducing blood pressures, fasting glucose levels and body mass indices patients with established atherothrombotic disease.METHOD: This randomized controlled pilot trial included outpatients who were over 45 years age cardiovascular disease.Group A, received Program, had weekly sessions dietitians.Groups B C usual dietary therapy that is given to diseases as proposed by guidelines.This diet same nutrient...
Abstract Background The present study aimed to assess the effect of a healthy diet, enriched or not with pecan nuts extra‐virgin olive oil, on lipid profile patients stable coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods This was randomised clinical trial conducted for 12 weeks aged between 40 and 80 years CAD more than 60 days. Individuals were into groups [control group (CG) 67 patients, nut (PNG) 68 oil (OOG) 69 patients]. CG prescribed diet according nutritional guidelines; PNG same plus 30 g day...
Abstract Objective: To evaluate the association of dietary inflammatory index (DII®) with occurrence cardiovascular events, cardiometabolic risk factors and consumption processed, ultra-processed, unprocessed or minimally processed foods culinary ingredients. Design: This was a cross-sectional study that analysed baseline data from 2359 cardiac patients. Data on socio-demographic, anthropometric, clinical food were collected. Energy-adjusted intake used to calculate DII, classified according...
Resumo Fundamento: A adesão à uma alimentação adequada em macronutrientes é fundamental para a prevenção secundária de doenças cardiovasculares. Objetivo: Avaliar prevalência às recomendações consumo ácidos graxos e tratamento cardiovasculares, estimar se presença determinados fatores risco cardiovascular estaria associada adesão. Métodos: Estudo transversal com os dados linha base 2358 participantes do estudo "Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program Trial". Dados alimentar, foram...
Achieving nutritional goals established by scientific societies is a constant challenge and not always achieved.
Obesity and overweight are becoming progressively more prevalent worldwide independently associated with a significant increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Systemic arterial hypertension is frequently found association obesity contributes significantly to increased risk. We hypothesise that Roux-en-Y gastric bypass (RYGB) surgery, procedure effectively reduces body weight, can also positively impact blood pressure control obese hypertensive individuals.A unicentric, randomised,...
A adesão a uma alimentação saudável depende de fatores como os preços dos alimentos, sendo que alguns estudos conduzidos em países desenvolvidos apontam para um maior custo melhor qualidade nutricional. O objetivo do presente trabalho foi avaliar o direto da indivíduos adultos com doença cardiovascular no Brasil, investigando relação entre e dieta. Foram utilizados dados ensaio clínico randomizado, BALANCE Program. investigação atual é análise transversal momento inicial participantes alta...
The consumption of ultra-processed foods (UPF) has been associated with cardiometabolic risk factors. However, there is scarce literature on the association between UPF consumption, cardiovascular events, and factors in subjects undergoing secondary care for diseases (CVD). Thus, we aimed to evaluate CVD, established CVD. Baseline data from 2,357 participating a Brazilian multicenter study were analysed finding mean 18.7% their energy intake. Higher figures founded an increased presence high...
The American Heart Association (AHA) has developed the concept of "ideal cardiovascular health" (ICH), a seven-component score, which includes health dietary metrics. Higher ultra-processed foods intake is related with several cardiometabolic and diseases. We propose to develop validate Cardiovascular Health Diet Index (CHDI), diet quality index that combines AHA's recommendations healthy for foods. used data obtained through 114-item FFQ from 14,779 participants Brazilian Longitudinal Study...
Abstract Background Achieving nutritional goals established by scientific societies is a constant challenge and not always achieved. Objective To investigate the dietary adequacy of individuals with cardiovascular disease (CVD), participants in Cardioprotective Brazilian Food Program residing Northeast region Brazil, according to recommendations Society Cardiology (SBC). Methods Cross-sectional analysis data from study implementing Diet (DICA BR), which evaluated CVD treated specialized...
The diet of the Brazilian Cardioprotective Nutritional Program (BALANCE) classifies food into four groups and sets daily amount to be consumed. dietary approach BALANCE is different from other recommendations; therefore, it not possible use existing indexes (DI) assess patient's adequacy diet. For this reason, important develop a specific index based on This study aims describe development DI, evaluate its internal consistency, construct content validity population characteristics associated...
