Truck drivers work under conditions that predispose them to a high prevalence of risk factors for the development cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, these have not been fully evaluated and are usually considered be within scope health or labor services. An observational cross-sectional study was conducted on 250 long-distance truck drivers; were all male aged 18-60 years. The clinical evaluation consisted an assessment social habits demographic data CVD at 3 time points separated by...
Abstract Context Primary aldosteronism (PA) screening relies on an elevated aldosterone to renin ratio with a minimum level, which varies from 10 15 ng/dL (277-415.5 pmol/L) using immunoassay. Objective To evaluate intra-individual coefficient of variation (CV) and direct concentration (A/DRC) its impact PA screening. Methods A total 671 DRC measurements were performed by the same chemiluminescence assays in large cohort 216 patients confirmed at least 2 screenings. Results The median CV...
BACKGROUND Kommerell diverticulum with a right-sided aortic arch is rare congenital anatomical condition most often observed in adults. A possible etiology of the subclavian artery's anomalous origin would be an abnormality regression fourth primitive during embryonic development. CASE REPORT We report on case 16-year-old female patient presenting complaints occasional tachycardia and mild non-specific dyspnea after anxiety crises. Physical examination revealed lower amplitude pulses left...
<title>Abstract</title> Background Cardiovascular diseases are a significant concern among truck drivers due to their profession's nature, involving long hours of sedentary work and exposure various risk factors. Prevalence factors associated with cardiovascular health in long-haul impact on incidence events less studied. Methods A prospective cohort study was conducted traveling BR 277, major federal highway Brazil. Truck aged 18 years above were recruited from four strategically selected...
Abstract Background Aldosterone excess chronically induces oxidative stress and cell proliferation. Previously, a single study investigated primary aldosteronism (PA) in patients with papillary thyroid cancer (PTC), albeit without matched control group. Methods We conducted propensity score case-control to investigate the association between PA PTC individuals arterial hypertension (HT). was 137 HT. The group included (1:1) age, sex-, body mass index (BMI)-matched secondary analysis which...
Primary aldosteronism (PA) is commonly associated with resistant hypertension. Biochemical tests can be clinically useful in the screening and diagnosis of primary aldosteronism. This study aimed to identify cutoff values aldosterone levels (A) aldosterone–renin ratio (ARR) for an accurate prediction PA patients apparent hypertension a real-life scenario. database-based included historical cohort male female hypertension, aged 18 years or older surveyed specialized center from 2008 2018....
Backgroud Aortic insufficiency (regurgitation) is a common valve disease in young and middle‐aged individuals, which requires from the cardiovascular system continuous volume overload. Patients can remain asymptomatic for many years subsequently they present symptoms of congestive heart failure. The remodeling great vessels has been observed patients with severe regurgitation. However, little known about changes elasticity small arteries endothelial function moderate condition, without...
