Left Ventricular Remodeling Patterns in Primary Healthcare
Arq. bras. cardiol; 114 (1), 2020
Abstract Background: Left ventricular remodeling (LVR) is related to both non-fatal and fatal outcomes. Objective: To describe the geometric patterns of the LV and their associations. Methods: A total of 636 individuals between the ages of 45 and 99 years in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, were submitted to c...
Use of tissue doppler imaging for the early detection of myocardial dysfunction in patients with the indeterminate form of Chagas disease
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 53 (), 2020
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Chagas disease is one of the most common diseases in Latin America and heart involvement is the main cause of death. This study aimed to determine differences in tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) parameters in the assessment left and right ventricular function in patients with the ind...

Effect of radiation on endothelial functions in workers exposed to radiation
Rev Assoc Med Bras (1992); 66 (7), 2020
SUMMARY OBJECTIVE Our aim is to determine whether radiation affects the endothelial function of hospital staff working in the radiation unit for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes. We have evaluated endothelial function with vascular imaging parameters such as flow-mediated dilatation (FMD) and aortic...
Exercise tests in Chagas cardiomyopathy: an overview of functional evaluation, prognostic significance, and current challenges
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 53 (), 2020
Abstract Patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy (ChC) usually progress with fatigue and dyspnea. Exercise tests are valuable for the functional evaluation of these patients. However, information about the applicability of the exercise tests is scattered, and no studies have systematically reviewed the resul...

Demographic and clinical characteristics of pulmonary arterial hypertension caused by schistosomiasis are indistinguishable from other etiologies
Rev. Soc. Bras. Med. Trop; 53 (), 2020
Abstract INTRODUCTION: Pulmonary arterial hypertension (PAH) is a serious pulmonary circulation disease caused by several etiologies, including schistosomiasis. The present study retrospectively evaluated the clinical and hemodynamic characteristics of patients with schistosomal PAH (PAH-Sch) compared t...
Compression of the left atrium and pulmonary veins due to ascending and descending aortic aneurysms
Rev. bras. cir. cardiovasc; 35 (2), 2020
Abstract An 89-year-old female patient presented to our cardiology outpatient clinic complaining of shortness of breath and back pain. Chest X-ray demonstrated a widened mediastinum. Transthoracic echocardiography showed an ascending aortic aneurysm and the modified apical 5-chamber view showed that left...
Asymptomatic huge cardiac hydatid cyst located in the interventricular septum
Rev. bras. cir. cardiovasc; 35 (2), 2020
Abstract The cardiac involvement of hydatid cyst, which is rarely seen, with the location of asymptomatic huge cyst in the interventricular septum (IVS) is an extraordinary condition. We report an isolated cardiac hydatid cyst located in the IVS in an 18-year-old man diagnosed incidentally by transthorac...
Batista procedure with the aid of intraoperative epicardial echocardiography
Rev. bras. cir. cardiovasc; 35 (2), 2020
Abstract Introduction: The number of cases for which the Batista procedure is indicated is small, but some patients with appropriate indication can achieve good therapeutic results. Objective: To avoid incorrect left ventricular incision and obtain good surgical results in patients with dilated cardiom...
