Global Longitudinal Strain Predicts Poor Functional Capacity in Patients with Systolic Heart Failure

Arq. bras. cardiol; 113 (2), 2019
Abstract Background: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain value (GLS) can predict functional capacity in patients with preserved left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) heart failure (HF) and to assess prognosis in reduced LVEF HF. Objetive: Correlate GLS with parameters of Cardiopulmonary Exe...

High Level of Lipoprotein(a) as Predictor for Recurrent Heart Failure in Patients with Chronic Heart Failure: a Cohort Study

Arq. bras. cardiol; 113 (2), 2019
Abstract Background: Elevated plasma levels of Lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] are recognized as a significant risk factor for atherosclerotic vascular disease. However, there are limited data regarding association between Lp(a) and recurrent heart failure (HF) in patients with chronic HF caused by coronary hear...

Left ventricular assessment in patients with mucopolysaccharidosis using conventional echocardiography and myocardial deformation by two-dimensional speckle-tracking method

J. pediatr. (Rio J.); 95 (4), 2019
Abstract Objective: Mucopolysaccharidosis is a rare genetic disease characterized by the intralysosomal deposition of glycosaminoglycans. Cardiovascular impairment is a common feature. Cardiac signs and symptoms are underestimated due to the disease involvement in other organs. Enzyme replacement therap...

Teste cardiopulmonar no diagnóstico de doença coronariana: acurácia da curva do pulso de oxigênio

A isquemia miocárdica induzida por esforço em níveis significativos interferiria no aumento no volume sistólico e levaria à deflexão da curva do PuO2. A alteração da resposta curvilínea do PuO2, que resulta em achatamento da curva, demonstraria redução do volume sistólico e/ou falha para aum...

Relato de endomiocardiofibrose de ventrículo direito em paciente nonagenária

A endomiocardiofibrose é uma cardiopatia restritiva, pouco comum, com descrição recente. Foi descrita pela primeira vez em 1938, por Williams e estudada do ponto de vista anatomopatológico pelo patologista Davies, na África do Sul, recebendo o epônimo Doença de Davies em 1948. Considerando a hi...
