Parathyroidectomy (PTX) may cause low levels of PTH, leading to an excessive reduction bone turnover, which is associated with poor outcomes in dialysis patients, including vascular calcification (VC). We aimed prospectively investigate the impact PTX on remodeling and its potential consequence progression VC hemodialysis patients. In this prospective study, 19 patients severe secondary hyperparathyroidism (sHPT) were evaluated. All underwent laboratorial tests coronary tomography at...
1. Aspectos Gerais […] Posicionamento Brasileiro sobre o Uso da Multimodalidade de Imagens na Cardio-Oncologia – 2021
Comparative trial of the use antiplatelet and oral anticoagulant
Background: Although associated with traditional cardiovascular risk factors, it is unclear whether obesity alone coronary artery disease (CAD). Objective: To investigate the role of as a factor for CAD, defined by computed tomography angiography (CCTA). Methods: This study retrospectively included 1,814 patients referred CCTA in hospital São Paulo, from August 2010 to July 2012. CAD was identified calcium score and presence stenosis > 50%. Images were analyzed two specialists, findings...
Scimitar syndrome consists of anomalous pulmonary vein drainage to the inferior vena cava. Its name derives from image this creates on a chest radiograph. We describe case normal venous that also presented scimitar sign due an aorto-collateral vessel.A 15-month-old girl with mild dyspnoea and fever. Control X-ray showed cardiac dextroposition, hypoplastic right lung, 'scimitar sign'. Although transthoracic echocardiogram confirmed initial suspicion drainage, computed tomography (CT) scan...
Objective The aim of this study was to compare image quality and radiation dose coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography performed with dual-source CT scanner using 2 different protocols in patients atrial fibrillation. Methods Forty-seven AF underwent acquisition protocols: double high-pitch (DHP) spiral retrospective acquisition. ranked according a qualitative score by experts: 1, no evident motion; 2, minimal motion not influencing artery luminal evaluation; 3, impaired evaluation. A...
Background Dilated left ventricular volumes (VE) is one of the main factors poor cardiovascular prognosis with systolic dysfunction. Myocardial fibrosis detected by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) has been recognized in recent years as an independent prognostic factor dilated cardiomyopathy, addition to guiding etiological diagnosis, and most often only noninvasive way differentiate ischemic nonischemic. The aim our study was determine prevalence...
Background Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a common inherited cardiovascular disease present in one 500 of the general population, and it main cause sudden death young people. The presence myocardial fibrosis HCM very (more than 2/3 patients), its identification by late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) helps diagnosis associated with ventricular arrhythmias worse prognosis. aim our study was to find CMR characteristics that are related burden HCM. Methods...
Adolescent, 13 yrs, with slight fatigue and cyanosis since birth. No heart failure, oxygen saturation > 80% continuous murmur +/++ at the inferior left sternal border. Chest x-ray showed higher caliber vessels to left. Left pulmonary artery hypertension (90/45-60 mm Hg 7.8 UW) normotension right (20 Hg, 1.8 UW). originated from ascending aorta filled through a fistula of coronary trunk. Different levels pressure caused procedure difficulty unification two systems. The stable clinical picture...
Eleven-year-old boy undergoing pulmonary banding at the age of one month due to heart failure. He had normal physical growth, good exercise tolerance and arterial saturation. On examination, grade 3/6 systolic murmur LSB. ECG, biventricular volume overload, on chest X-ray, close cardiac silhouette with slightly increased vascularity. Atrioventricular ventriculoarterial concordance ventricles similar size large 52-mm discontinuity interventricular septum up apex (common ventricle). Surgical...
