Acute total occlusion of the unprotected left main coronary artery (LMCA) is a dramatic event. There are limited data regarding this population. We aimed to describe clinical presentation and outcomes patients determine predictors in-hospital mortality.This retrospective study included presenting with acute (<12 h) myocardial infarction due LMCA (TIMI flow 0) between January 2008 December 2020 in three tertiary hospitals.During period, 11036 emergent angiographies were performed, 59 (0.5%)...
Interrupted aortic arch (IAA) is a rare congenital abnormality with only few cases reported in adults. It defined as complete loss of continuity between the ascending and descending portions aorta, usually associated other cardiac defects. The diagnosis adults should be suspected presence refractory hypertension, careful physical examination being crucial to early diagnosis. Magnetic resonance angiography (MRA) techniques can accurately characterize cardiovascular anatomy, also provide...
The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) spread quickly around the world. Although mainly a respiratory illness, there is growing interest in non-respiratory manifestations, particularly cardiovascular ones. At our center, mobilization of cardiologists with intensive care training was needed. Our aim to describe patients severe COVID-19 admitted Portuguese unit (ICU), impact and experience working ICU.Data from adult ICU Centro Hospitalar de Vila Nova Gaia/Espinho between 16 March 2020 21...

Chronic heart failure (HF) is the 21st-century cardiovascular epidemic, marked by recurrent hospitalizations and high mortality rates, represents a considerable burden on Western societies. The complex care demands of HF patients require multidisciplinary approaches, aligning with contemporary guidelines. Accordingly, Excellence in Heart Failure Program, implemented Portuguese tertiary hospitals, aims to establish outpatient clinics Portugal, improving patients’ clinical outcomes. Herein,...
Heart failure (HF) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Despite major advances in the treatment of HF, there are still important unmet needs among this patient population. Cardiac rehabilitation has a central role cardiovascular prevention for overall disease management, can have an impact HF patients. The authors present brief overview on current cardiac patients contemporary setting discuss some areas future research context intervention.
In recent years, the number of patients requiring acute cardiac care has increased, with progressively more complex cardiovascular conditions, often complicated by or chronic non-cardiovascular comorbidities, which affects management and prognosis these patients. Coronary units have evolved into intensive units, provide highly specialized health for critical heart patient. view limited human technical resources in this area, we consider that there is an urgent need in-depth analysis...
