Heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFPEF) is a highly prevalent syndrome that difficult to diagnose in outpatients. The measurement of B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) may be useful the diagnosis HFPEF, but different cutoff from used emergency room. aim this study was identify BNP for HFPEF This prospective, observational enrolled 161 outpatients (aged 68.1±11.5 years, 72% female) suspected HFPEF. Patients underwent ECG, tissue Doppler imaging, and plasma measurement, were...

Arterial stiffness is associated with higher burden of atrial arrhythmias and worsening left function (conduit reservoir), even before dilation this cavity. PACs: premature contractions; cfPWV: carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity.
Abstract Background: Increased arterial stiffness is currently an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation, but the pathophysiological mechanisms of this arrhythmia remain area knowledge gap to be explored. Objectives: To investigate existence association between and density premature contractions (PACs) in hypertensive individuals without fibrillation. Methods: Cross-sectional study with patients diagnosed who were studied speckle-tracking echocardiography assess left (LA) strain...
Abstract Background The congenital absence of the left atrial appendage (LAA) is an extremely rare anatomical anomaly, with only 23 cases documented in medical literature. LAA plays a critical role thrombus formation, particularly patients fibrillation (AF), thus impacting stroke prevention strategies and management anticoagulation. Case summary We report 48-year-old male 2-year history hypertension prior episodes tachycardic palpitations, who presented AF chest pain. During catheter...
The patient was a 47-year-old white single female referred for medical treatment to the Instituto do Coração, born and coming from state of São Paulo, with four children, unemployed, but reporting having worked in coffee farming inner Minas Gerais state.
Resumo Fundamento No tratamento da fibrilação atrial (FA), a arritmia sustentada mais frequente, com ablação por cateter (ABL) ou cardioversão elétrica (CVE), o período periprocedimento é uma das fases críticas. Atualmente, uso de novos anticoagulantes orais ação direta (DOAC) cada vez no entanto, mundo real, ainda existem poucos dados estudos sobre incidência trombo átrio esquerdo (TrAE) contraste espontâneo denso (CE) ecocardiograma transesofágico (ETE). Objetivo Analisar prevalência [...]
Abstract Objectives: The pathophysiological mechanisms of increased arterial stiffness, currently an independent risk factor for atrial fibrillation, remain poorly understood. This study investigated the association stiffness with presence nonsustained tachycardia (NSAT) in hypertensive patients. Methods: We included sixty participants from a single centre without evident cardiovascular disease who underwent extensive examination. Arterial was assessed by pulse wave velocity (PWV) and...
