Background— This study evaluated the hypothesis that transendocardial injections of autologous mononuclear bone marrow cells in patients with end-stage ischemic heart disease could safely promote neovascularization and improve perfusion myocardial contractility. Methods Results— Twenty-one were enrolled this prospective, nonrandomized, open-label (first 14 patients, treatment; last 7 control). Baseline evaluations included complete clinical laboratory evaluations, exercise stress (ramp...
Background— We recently reported the safety and feasibility of autologous bone marrow mononuclear cell (ABMMNC) injection into areas ischemic myocardium in patients with end-stage cardiomyopathy. The present study evaluated efficacy this therapy at 6- 12-month follow-up. Methods Results— Twenty follow-up (11 treated subjects; 9 controls) were enrolled prospective, nonrandomized, open-label study. Complete clinical laboratory evaluations as well exercise stress (ramp treadmill), 2-dimensional...
After myocardial infarction (MI), activation of the immune system and inflammatory mechanisms, among others, can lead to ventricular remodeling heart failure (HF). The interaction between these systemic alterations corresponding changes in has not been extensively examined setting chronic ischemia. main purpose this study was investigate cardiac gene cytokine profile mice with post-ischemic HF. Plasma tested for IgM IgG anti-heart reactive repertoire cytokines. Heart samples were assayed...
Background: Cardiovascular diseases are the leading cause of deaths in world, and many events could be prevented by healthy life habits. Objectives: To compare occurrence cardiovascular risk factors adolescents enrolled at public schools city Rio de Janeiro, including a renowned school for sport practices. Methods: Cross-sectional study, convenience sampling 422 students Experimental Olympic Gymnasium (EOG) Figueiredo Pimentel School (FP). Using descriptive analyses, continuous variables...
Background: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction is a well-known predictor of mortality in patients with valvular heart disease (VHD). The assessment RV function often difficult due to complex geometry and hemodynamic factors. We aim analyze severe mitral and/or aortic valve using two-dimensional strain (2DS) imaging conventional echocardiographic parameters, comparing it right ejection fraction (RVEF) measured by three-dimensional echocardiography (3DE). Methods: Fifty-three VHD underwent...
Objective: Transcatheter aortic valve replacement has been an alternative to invasive treatment for symptomatic severe stenosis in high risk patients.The primary endpoint was 30-day and 1-year mortality from any cause.Secondary endpoints were compare the clinical echocardiographic variation pre-and post-transcatheter replacement, occurrence of complications throughout a 4-year follow-up period.Methods: This prospective cohort, nestled multicenter study (Registro Brasileiro de Implante...
Number of subjects currently participating in high-endurance aerobic exercise training regimens and competitions has substantially increased recent years. While there is no doubt that regular practice fundamental for the maintenance a good health, have been reports cardiac structural changes exposed to strenuous endurance physical exercise. This article case 47-year-old male very successful sportsman—including being six-time Ultraman winner—who accumulated more than 50,000 h competition his...
echocardiography associated with three-dimensional printing to create surgical models that allow trainees practice or improve techniques in order the outcomes of repairs, contributing more advanced medical training.Central Illustration: Using mitral valve repairs
A regurgitação mitral representa uma importante causa de morbimortalidade e a plastia cirúrgica continua sendo seu tratamento escolha quando possível. Utilizamos ecocardiografia tridimensional associada impressão para confecção modelos cirúrgicos nos quais é possível o treinamento ou aprimoramento técnicas cirúrgicas visando melhoria resultados das plastias um na formação médica
