Combined off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting and lung resection in patients with lung cancer accompanied by coronary artery disease

Abstract Introduction: Optimal surgical approach for the treatment of resectable lung cancer accompanied by coronary artery disease (CAD) remains a contentious issue. In this study, we present our cases that were operated simultaneously for concurrent lung cancer and CAD. Methods: Simultaneous off-pump...

Spirometry in patients screened for coronary artery disease: is it useful?

J. bras. pneumol; 44 (4), 2018
ABSTRACT Objective: To determine the prevalence of spirometric abnormalities in patients screened for coronary artery disease (CAD) and the risk factors for lung function impairment. Methods: Patients referred for cardiac CT underwent spirometry and were subsequently divided into two groups, namely nor...

Ressuscitação cardíaca pré-hospitalar. Do pré-hospitalar à sala de emergência: minutos que salvam uma vida - suporte básico

A incidência exata de parada cardiorrespiratória (PCR) mesmo em países com registros clínicos bem estruturados ainda é desconhecida, mas as estimativas variam de 180.000 a mais de 450.000 mortes anuais. A etiologia mais comum da PCR é a doença cardiovascular isquêmica que ocasiona no desenvolvim...

Cardiovascular risk and bipolar disorder: factors associated with a positive coronary calcium score in patients with bipolar disorder type 1

Objective: Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in patients with bipolar disorder. The aim of this study was to evaluate the factors associated with positive coronary calcium score (CCS) in individuals with bipolar disorder type 1. Methods: Patients from the Bipolar Disorder Program at H...

Atherosclerotic Plaque in Patients with Zero Calcium Score at Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (5), 2018
Abstract Background: In view of the high mortality for cardiovascular diseases, it has become necessary to stratify the main risk factors and to choose the correct diagnostic modality. Studies have demonstrated that a zero calcium score (CS) is characteristic of a low risk for cardiovascular events. How...

Association between cognitive function and parameters of echocardiography and coronary artery angiography

ABSTRACT We aimed to determine whether there is an association between cognition and the results of echocardiography and angiography, based on neuropsychological assessments. Methods: We assessed the cognition of 85 patients who had recently undergone coronary artery angiography. We calculated the Gensi...

Importância do diabetes mellitus na estratificação do risco de doença arterial coronária e risco cardiovascular global

O diabetes mellitus é uma doença epidêmica. Os adultos portadores de diabetes têm taxas de doenças cardiovasculares duas a três vezes maiores do que aquelas observadas em adultos não diabéticos. O reconhecimento de que o diabetes é uma doença heterogênea em relação ao risco cardiovascular fo...

Thyrotropin and free thyroxine levels and coronary artery disease: cross-sectional analysis of the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil)

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 51 (5), 2018
Data on the association between subclinical thyroid dysfunction and coronary artery disease (CAD) is scarce. We aimed to analyze the association between thyroid function and CAD using baseline data from the Brazilian Longitudinal Study of Adult Health (ELSA-Brasil). We included subjects with normal thyro...
