INTRODUCTION: The 12-lead electrocardiogram (ECG-12) is a useful tool in the assessment of athletes. The prevalence of normal electrocardiographic findings in elite Brazilian football players (EBFP) of different ethnicities is not well described. PURPOSE: To compare the prevalence of normal ECG-12 findin...

ABSTRACT: We present a case of a young man with complete atrioventricular block and aneurysm of the right sinus of Valsalva penetrating the interventricular septum and causing severe aortic regurgitation. Chest trauma and inflammatory or infectious diseases are potential causes. Bentall-de Bono surgical ...
RESUMO: A dilatação do átrio esquerdo (AE) é um indicador comum da disfunção diastólica, e sua análise por meio do cálculo de seu volume reflete os efeitos cumulativos das pressões de enchimento do VE. Entretanto, o aumento do volume do AE não é exclusivo da disfunção diastólica, sendo obs...
INTRODUÇÃO: Alterações estruturais e funcionais do ventrículo esquerdo decorrentes da hipertensão arterial são bem caracterizadas e constituem valiosos marcadores prognósticos. Embora a análise estrutural do átrio esquerdo (AE) pelo cálculo do volume atrial seja parte da avaliação ecocardiog...

BACKGROUND: Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction (HFpEF) is a syndrome characterized by different degrees of exercise intolerance, which leads to poor quality of life and prognosis. Recently, the European score (HFA-PEFF) was proposed to standardize the diagnosis of HFpEF. Even though Global Lo...

BACKGROUND: Provocative maneuvers have the potential to overcome the low sensitivity of resting echocardiography and biomarkers in the detection of heart failure with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). We investigate the mechanical response of the left ventricle to an afterload challenge in patients wi...

OBJECTIVES: to enlighten preprocedural risk factors of mitral valve restenosis in a large, single-center cohort of patients submitted to percutaneous mitral balloon commissurotomy (PMBC) for the treatment of mitral stenosis (MS) secondary to rheumatic heart disease. METHODS: this is a database analysis o...
INTRODUÇÃO E/OU FUNDAMENTOS: A estenose valvar pulmonar crítica (EPC) e atresia da valva pulmonar com septo interventricular íntegro (APSI) podem apresentar diferentes graus de hipertrofia e hipoplasia do ventrículo direito (VD). A valvoplastia pulmonar percutânea com balão (VPPB) é o tratamento ...
Congenital third degree block (CHB) is a relative rare disorder. The manifestations of CHB can vary according to many aspects, including ventricular rate of the escape rhythm and ventricular function. The main therapeutic decision is the need for and the ideal timing of permanent pacemaker insertion. Pat...

BACKGROUND: Mitral valve stenosis (MVS) is one of the most common structural heart diseases in developing countries, primarily due to rheumatic disease. Percutaneous mitral balloon valvuloplasty (PMBV) has been, since its introduction in 1984, the preferred option of treatment for such disease. However, ...
