Current practice of state-of-the-art coronary revascularization in patients with heart failure
Rev. bras. cir. cardiovasc; 34 (1), 2019
Abstract The best treatment for patients with ischemic heart failure (HF) is still on debate. There is growing evidence that coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) benefits these patients. The current recommendations for revascularization in this context are that CABG is reasonable when it comes to decreasi...

Aortic valve replacement combined with ascending aortic aneurysmectomy in a patient with sickle cell disease: a case report
Rev. bras. cir. cardiovasc; 33 (2), 2018
Abstract Sickle cell anemia is a haematological disorder characterized by multiple vaso-occlusive complications, resulting in a reduced life expectancy. These patients are exposed to several triggering factors for sickle cell crises when they are submitted to cardiovascular surgeries with extracorporeal ...
Heart Transplantation for Peripartum Cardiomyopathy: A Single-Center Experience
Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (2), 2018
Abstract Background: Peripartum cardiomyopathy is an idiopathic disorder defined by the occurrence of acute heart failure during late pregnancy or post-partum period in the absence of any other definable cause. Its clinical course is variable and severe cases might require heart transplantation. Object...

The use of meld score (model for end-stage liver disease) and derivatives in cardiac transplantation
ABCD (São Paulo, Impr.); 31 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT Introduction: Heart transplantation is still the best therapeutic alternative for the treatment of end-stage heart failure. The use of criteria that consider the complications associated with this procedure can guarantee a better evaluation of the recipient and prepare the team for possible uns...
Characterization of Cardiopulmonary Exercise Testing Variables in Patients with Endomyocardial Fibrosis after Endocardial Resection
Arq. bras. cardiol; 109 (6), 2017
Abstract Background: Endomyocardial fibrosis (EMF) is a rare disease, characterized by diastolic dysfunction which leads to reduced peak oxygen consumption (VO2). Cardiopulmonary exercise testing (CPET) has been proved to be a fundamental tool to identify central and peripheral alterations. However, mos...
