Viability assessment as a strategy to reduce long term events in left anterior descendent artery with chronic total occlusion

Arq. bras. cardiol; 119 (4 supl.1), 2022
INTRODUCTION: Late intervention of a chronic total occlusion (CTO) in stable patients is not routinely recommended by randomized trials. Previous studies have confirmed the negative effect of CTOs on prognosis. Purpose: To evaluate if a strategy of viability assessment (VA) to guide revascularization in ...

Epidemiological profile of patients with heart diseases with indications for palliative care

Arq. bras. cardiol; 119 (4 supl.1), 2022
INTRODUCTION: Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of death in Western countries, with heart failure being the final pathway of heart disease.

Independent assessment of the atrial fibrillation - hypertrophic cardiomyopathy score in a brazilian cohort

Arq. bras. cardiol; 119 (4 supl.1), 2022
BACKGROUND: Atrial fibrillation (AF) is a common arrhythmia in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), frequently related to adverse outcomes. The AF-HCM point-score is a recently validated predictive model for the assessment of AF risk. OBJECTIVES: We sought to independently evaluate the novel AF-HCM score i...

Risk stratification of new persistent left bundle branch block after transcatheter aortic valve implantation

Am. j. cardiol; 15 (175), 2022
ABSTRACT Previous studies reported that new-onset persistent left bundle branch block (NOP-LBBB) was related to worse outcomes after transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI). However, these results can be confounded by the presence of permanent pacemaker (PPM) implantation before and after TAVI. Lo...
