Low-dose resveratrol supplementation on heart rate variability in hypertensive volunteers: a controlled double-blind trial

OBJECTIVE: Hypertension decreases the heart rate variability (HRV). Resveratrol, a phenolic compound found in grapes and their products, has been explored for its potential to treat hypertension. We evaluated the effects of low-dose resveratrol on HRV in hypertensive volunteers. METHOD: Twenty-one hyper...

A comparative study between propofol and etomidate in patients under general anesthesia

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 66 (3), 2016
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Induction of anesthesia is a critical part of anesthesia practice. Sudden hypotension, arrhythmias, and cardiovascular collapse are threatening complications following injection of induction agent in hemodynamically unstable patients. It is desirable to use a safe ag...

Contexto: A insuficiência cardíaca crônica é uma síndrome sistêmica complexa e progressiva que se caracteriza por comprometimento da perfusão tecidual, com sintomas característicos de dispneia, fadiga, além de piora da qualidade de vida. A síndrome está relacionada a altas taxas de mortalidade...

Sevoflurane preconditioning during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion reduces infarct size and preserves autonomic control of circulation in rats

Acta cir. bras; 31 (5), 2016
ABSTRACT PURPOSE: To investigate the myocardial ischemia-reperfusion with sevoflurane anesthetic preconditioning (APC) would present beneficial effects on autonomic and cardiac function indexes after the acute phase of a myocardial ischemia-reperfusion. METHODS: Twenty Wistar rats were allocated in thr...

Non-linear indices of heart rate variability during endodontic treatment

Braz. oral res. (Online); 30 (1), 2016
Abstract Dental treatment promotes psychosomatic change that can influence the procedure and compromise the general well-being of the patient. In this context, it highlights the importance of evaluating the function of the autonomic nervous system in individuals undergoing endodontic treatment. Thus, thi...

Modulação autonômica e atividade cronotrópica durante exercício aeróbio em pacientes que utilizam atenolol

Introduction: The negative chronotropic effect of beta-blockers (BB) can modify itself according to its pharmacokinetics. Objective: To investigate the influence of pharmacokinetics of beta-blockers in heart rate (HR) and autonomic activity (AA) in response to the exercise. Methods: Three groups of hyper...

Instabilidade hemodinâmica grave durante o uso de isoflurano em paciente portador de escoliose idiopática: relato de caso
Severe hemodynamic instability during the use of isoflurane in a patient with idiopathic scoliosis: case reportInestabilidad hemodinámica grave durante el uso de isoflurano en paciente portador de escoliosis idiopática: relato de caso

Rev. bras. anestesiol; 57 (2), 2007
JUSTIFICATIVA E OBJETIVOS: O isoflurano é considerado um anestésico inalatório seguro. Apresenta reduzido grau de biotransformação, baixa toxicidade hepática e renal. Em concentrações clínicas apresenta efeito inotrópico negativo mínimo, diminuição da resistência vascular sistêmica e, rara...

Sildenafil citrate for the treatment of patients with cardiovascular diseases with exclusion of coronary artery disease and hypertrophic subaortic stenosis. Its beneficial effect on patients chronic Chagas's and diabetic cardioneuromyopathies, hypertensive and hypertrophic cardiomyopathies, with or without chronic congestive heart failure

Sildenafil citrate is a potent donor of nitric oxide that has been proved to be effective for the treatment of male erectile dysfunction, but it has been contraindicated in patients with cardiovascular diseases, because of sudden death occurred to some of them. Based on the known vasodilator effect of ni...

Efecto de la amilorida y su derivado diclorobenzamil sobre la auricula aislada del acure (Cavia porcellus): interaccion con otras maniobras inotropicas
Effect of amiloride and dichlorobenzamil derivative in the guinea pig atria: interaction with other inotropic mechanisms

Acta cient. venez; 50 (1), 1999
Se estudiaron los efectos cronotrópico e inotrópico de la Amilorida (AMI) y la dicloro-benzamil-Amilorida (DCB-AMI) sobre las aurículas aislada del acure, así como la interacción de estas drogas con la beta-metil-digoxina (BM_DIGO), la epinefrina y la disminución del potasio extracelular (de 4 a 1 ...

Effect of high-dose fentanyl on renal function in dogs

Säo Paulo med. j; 115 (3), 1997
Our objective was to determine the effects of high-dose fentanyl on canine renal function (RF). We anesthetized with sodium pentobarbital (SP) 16 dogs, randomly divided into 2 groups:in G1, SP was given alone, and in G2, combined with 0.05 mg.kg(-1) fentanyl. All animals were ventilated artificially and ...
