INTRODUCTION: AI-based ECG has shown good accuracy in diagnosing heart failure. However, due to the heterogeneity of studies regarding cutoff points, its precision for specifically detecting heart failure with left ventricle reduced ejection fraction (LVEF <40 %) is not yet well established. What is the ...
BACKGROUND: Lung ultrasound (LUS) is a valuable, non-invasive tool for detecting pulmonary congestion in patients with acute heart failure (AHF), with a higher sensitivity relative to physical examination. However, the association between LUS-detected pulmonary congestion and cardiovascular outcomes in p...

DESCRIPTION OF CLINICAL PRESENTATION: A 47-year-old man with a history of hypertension presented to the emergency department with reports of dyspnea on mild exertion, tachycardic palpitations, bendopnea, and mild lower limb edema. Eight weeks prior to hospital admission, he experienced intense precordial...

BACKGROUND: The optimal management of angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors during elective surgeries remains uncertain. While some studies suggest that continuing ACE inhibitors increase the risk of perioperative hypotension, others argue that discontinuation may heighten the risk of significan...

INTRODUCTION: Cancer therapy-induced cardiac dysfunction is a significant adverse effect of chemotherapeutic agents, particularly anthracyclines (ANT). High-potency statin therapy, such as atorvastatin, appears to exert a protective effect against this condition. OBJECTIVE: We aimed to perform a meta-ana...

BACKGROUND: Sodium-glucose cotransporter 2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) have demonstrated cardiovascular benefits in various settings. However, their impact after myocardial infarction (MI) in patients without prior heart failure remains unclear. Therefore, we conducted a meta-analysis comparing SGLT2i to placebo...

INTRODUCTION: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a critical comorbidity in heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF), often linked to congestion due to elevated filling pressures. However, the role of subtle systolic dysfunction in CKD remains to be elucidated. This study aimed to investigate t...
FUNDAMENTO: Devido à grande quantidade de receptores para transplante de coração (TxC) e a falta de doadores, a fila de espera mesmo em prioridade por dependência inotrópica pode ser longa. Os beta-bloqueadores (BB) são fármacos de primeira linha no tratamento da insuficiência cardíaca de fraç�...
