A cirurgia bariátrica tem se consolidado como tratamento eficaz para a obesidade grave, proporcionando significativa redução de peso e melhora das comorbidades associadas. No entanto, os impactos psicológicos psiquiátricos decorrentes desse procedimento ainda são pouco explorados forma sistemática, especialmente no que refere à avaliação da saúde mental nos períodos pré pós-operatório. Este estudo teve objetivo analisar o impacto na dos pacientes, com ênfase psiquiátrica antes depois do...

Abstract Introduction Phase II cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs have been shown to enhance functional capacity and clinical outcomes. Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) is a valuable tool for assessing tolerance cardiovascular function. However, given the wide range of parameters included in CPET, there still debate on which specific measures are most reliable monitoring patient progress during CR. Purpose To assess CPET as predictors adverse events patients after completing Methods...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Cardiovascular rehabilitation (CR) was one the many areas negatively affected by COVID-19 pandemic. A high number cardiovascular disease (CVD) patients had their centre-based program suspended. Physical activity (PA) recommendations for CVD are well established and its benefits largely documented. However, few studies have objectively measured PA these throughout years specifically during Purpose To measure...
Abstract Introduction Chronotropic incompetence (CI) is prevalent among individuals with cardiovascular disease. This phenomenon frequently noted in cardio-pulmonary exercise testing (CPET) patients participating cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs and often attributed to a combination of factors, notably the administration beta-blockers (BB). Recent evidence casted doubt over long term beta-blocker use on ischemic pts preserved ejection fraction some large scale trials as BETAMI DANBLOCK...
Abstract Introduction Participation in Cardiac Rehabilitation (CR) has shown to enhance both morbidity and mortality outcomes patients (pts) with cardiovascular disease (CV). The socio-demographic (SD) analysis is a crucial part of pt evaluation process optimize CR adherence. Purpose Analyze the influence SD status on adherence CV risk factors control. Methods A single-center prospective cohort study was conducted, involving consecutive pts enrolled phase 2 program, from 2015 2023. variables...
Abstract Introduction Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is a structured program that combines exercise and education to help patients (pts) recover from cardiac conditions, in order improve their cardiovascular health enhance overall well-being quality of life. Purpose To compare cardiopulmonary test (CPET) parameters 6 minute walking (6MWT) performance before after CR completion. Methods Single center prospective study consecutive pts completed center-based 2015 April 2023. The included...
Abstract Introduction The benefits of Phase 2 cardiac rehabilitation is well-established in terms improving functional capacity, quality life, and even prognosis. impact a long-term exercise program less established. Purpose To assess the maintenance after on life. Methods A single-center cohort study was conducted, involving patients (pts) who completed phase CR at least 6 months prior to answered 36-Item Short Form Survey (SF-36) telephonically. participants were categorized into groups...
Abstract Introduction Recent clinical evidence reinforces cardiac rehabilitation as a cornerstone for patient recovery and improvement after serious cardiovascular event. Therefore it’s important to study what are the measures with highest impact on outcomes. Purpose To determinants of long-term success in rehabilitation. Methods A retrospective patients involved program at tertiary hospital from 2013 2023. The main endpoint major events was composite of: admission, admission due disease,...
Abstract Background Despite the reduction in mortality and hospitalization rates, resynchronization therapy still has 30-40% of non-responders. Several studies are ongoing to evaluate if novel programming techniques such as multipoint pacing (MPP) increase conversion rate non-responder responder CRT. However, there is lack information about super-responders impact quality life MPP. Purpose To MPP its patients. Methods Randomized clinical trial non-AF patients with indication for CRT who...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Despite the established benefits cardiac rehabilitation (CR), it remains significantly underutilized. Home-based CR (CR-HB) programs should offer same core components as Centre-based (CR-CB) but several aspects need to be adapted, communication and supervision must improved. Although CR-HB has been successfully deployed is a valuable alternative CR-CB, there less structured experience with these non-uniform further...
2) acute precipitating factors, of whom infections (39%), mainly respiratory tract infections, was the most frequent factor, followed by tachyarrhythmia (13%) and heart failure (10%).The or chronic causes were non cardiogenic factors.Concomitant occurrence factors found in 122 patients (14%), mostly combining with (n=18), anemia (n=15), severe aortic stenosis (n=12). Etiological type 2 MI Conclusion:In our large contemporary study, one largest to date, a prospective T2MI identification,...
Background: Nowadays it is well recognized that the absence of obstructive coronary artery disease in a patient presenting with symptoms suggestive ischemia and ST-segment alterations does not preclude an atherothrombotic etiology.CMR essential method for investigation Myocardial infarction (MI) non (MINOCA).Clinical Case: A 66 years-old female was referred after episode acute oppressive chest pain, nausea hypersudorese, followed by syncope.She had previous medical history rheumatoid...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Centre-based cardiac rehabilitation (CR) programs have been forced to close due the need for physical and social distancing imposed by COVID-19 pandemic. A major problem emerges concerning potential harmful effects resulting from suspension centre-based CR programs, leading inactivity unhealthy lifestyle routines. Therefore, development alternative delivery models maintain access avoid should be organized tested....
Abstract Introduction Aortic atherosclerotic plaques (AAPs) are one of the major causes spontaneous and iatrogenic stroke peripheral emboli, carrying an high morbidity mortality. Transoesophageal echocardiography (TOE) plays a key rule on detecting AAP. The therapeutic approach this patients (pts) is not well stablished. Purpose To evaluate impact anticoagulation (ACO) therapy events in asymptomatic pts with AAP detected TOE. Methods Single-center retrospective study consecutive submitted to...
Abstract Funding Acknowledgements Type of funding sources: None. Introduction Peak oxygen uptake (peak VO2) is a strong predictor mortality and commonly used in the evaluation patients for cardiac transplantation. Although guidelines suggest peak VO2<14mL/(kg.min) as cut-off transplant VO2<12mL/(kg.min) under beta-blockade (BB), recent data emerged, questioning suitability such cut-offs. Purpose To correlate CPET echo with outcomes after CR programs to determine best cut off...
Abstract Introduction Atrial futters are macroreentrant tachycardias that typically involve several walls of a certain atrium, being the other atrium passively activated. Biatrial flutters (BAF) peculiar macro-reentries associated with anterior/septal scars, involving both atria and using interatrial connections. Purpose To characterize mechanism BAF cohort patients (pts) submitted to mapping ablation. Methods Retrospective single-center study pts atypical atrial flutter ablation from 2015...
Abstract Introduction High-density mapping tools expanded the mechanism characterization of atypical flutters (AFl). Systematic analysis substrate and activation maps is critical for proper interpretation targeted ablation strategy. Purpose Between 2016 2017, we developed a comprehensive stepwise workflow AFl map in 25 pts. This study evaluates its effectiveness validation cohort. Methods Prospective single-center pts with left-sided referred from 2018 to 2022. Pts prior procedures were...
