Electrocardiographic changes and changes in cardiac lactate and troponin I levels associated with search and rescue physical activity in military dogs

Rescue and recovery dogs intercalate the activity intensity developed, which also triggers significant metabolic changes in cardiac physiology. Thus, we evaluated the changes that search simulation causes in glucose, lactate, and cardiac troponin I level (cTnI) and the electrocardiographic and heart rate...

Ursodeoxycholic acid induces sarcopenia associated with decreased protein synthesis and autophagic flux

Biol. Res; 56 (), 2023
BACKGROUND: Skeletal muscle generates force and movements and maintains posture. Under pathological conditions, muscle fibers suffer an imbalance in protein synthesis/degradation. This event causes muscle mass loss and decreased strength and muscle function, a syndrome known as sarcopenia. Recently, our ...

Predictive Value of Myocardial injury in Patients with COVID-19 Admitted to a Quaternary Hospital in the City of Rio de Janeiro

Abstract Background In Brazil the factors involved in the risk of death in patients with COVID-19 have not been well established. Objective To analyze whether elevations of high-sensitivity troponin I (hTnI) levels influence the mortality of patients with COVID-19. Methods Clinical and laboratory c...

Valor Prognóstico de Níveis Elevados de Troponina I Isolados em Pacientes sem Síndrome Coronariana Aguda Admitidos no Serviço de Emergência

Arq. bras. cardiol; 116 (5), 2021
Resumo Fundamento: Embora a elevação não isquêmica da troponina seja frequentemente observada em pacientes admitidos no pronto-socorro (PS), não há consenso quanto ao seu manejo. Objetivos: Este estudo teve como objetivo caracterizar os pacientes admitidos no PS com elevação da troponina não-i...

Associação entre o índice de massa corporal e a gravidade e complexidade das lesões coronarianas em pacientes pós-infarto

Objetivo: Avaliar a associação entre o índice de massa corporal e a gravidade das lesões coronarianas em pacientes com infarto agudo do miocárdio. Métodos: Coorte aninhada ao Catarina Heart Study que avaliou 350 indivíduos durante o primeiro evento de infarto agudo do miocárdio e o 30º dia pó...

Behavior of acute myocardial infarctions in an intensive care unit of a medium-size city over a one-year span

Acta méd. colomb; 45 (2), 2020
Abstract Objectives: to identify the clinical and paraclinical behavior of myocardial infarctions in an intensive care unit of a medium-size city during 2017. Methods: a descriptive, cross-sectional study which included 99 medical records with a diagnosis of myocardial infarction on ICU discharge. The ...

Elevación persistente de troponina I

Rev. colomb. cardiol; 27 (3), 2020
Resumen La troponina cardiaca es el marcador bioquímico más sensible y específico de daño/necrosis miocárdica, de ahí que desempeñe un papel crucial en el diagnóstico del síndrome coronario agudo. Sin embargo, en ocasiones, como en el caso clínico que se describirá, la elevación anormal de tr...

Evaluation of perioperative high-sensitive cardiac troponin i as a predictive biomarker of major adverse cardiovascular events after noncardiac surgery

Rev. invest. clín; 72 (2), 2020
ABSTRACT Background: Various studies suggest that perioperative concentrations of high-sensitivity troponins are incremental and predictive factors of a major adverse cardiac event (MACE) and all-cause mortality. Objective: The objective of the study was to evaluate the predictive value of high-sensiti...
