Women with Polycystic Ovarian Syndrome Exhibit Reduced Baroreflex Sensitivity That May Be Associated with Increased Body Fat

Arq. bras. cardiol; 112 (4), 2019
Abstract Background: Polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS) women have a high prevalence of obesity and alterations in cardiovascular autonomic control, mainly modifications in heart rate variability (HRV) autonomic modulation. However, there are few studies about other autonomic control parameters, such as...

Effects of a new approach of aerobic interval training on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiovascular parameters of metabolic syndrome subjects

ABSTRACT Objective: To evaluate the effects of 16 weeks of periodized aerobic interval training (AIT) on cardiac autonomic modulation and cardiovascular parameters of metabolic syndrome (Mets) individuals. Subjects and methods: The sample was composed of 52 subjects with a diagnosis of Mets, allocated ...

Ideal Cardiovascular Health and Job Strain: A Cross-Sectional Study from the Amazon Basin

Arq. bras. cardiol; 112 (3), 2019
Abstract Background: Ideal Cardiovascular (CV) Health is characterized by four ideal lifestyle parameters and absence of cardiovascular risk factors. The prevalence of ideal CV health in the Amazon Basin and the influence of job strain on CV health in this setting are uncertain. Objective: To evaluate ...

Hypertension Prevalence, Treatment and Control in Older Adults in a Brazilian Capital City

Arq. bras. cardiol; 112 (3), 2019
Abstract Background: The diagnosis, treatment and control of arterial hypertension are fundamental for a reduction in cardiovascular outcomes, especially in the elderly. In Brazil, there are few studies that specifically identified these rates in the elderly population. Objective: To verify rates of pr...

Metabolic risk factors clustering among adolescents: a comparison between sex, age and socioeconomic status

Abstract The aim was to compare the metabolic risk factors (MRF) between sex, age and socioeconomic status in a sample of adolescents from Curitiba, Brazil. A cross-sectional school-based study was conducted on 997 adolescents (429 boys) aged 12-17 years old from public schools. Total Cholesterol (TC), L...

Anthropometric measurements as a potential non-invasive alternative for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in adolescents

ABSTRACT Objective: To identify which anthropometric measurement would be the best predictor of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in Brazilian adolescents. Subjects and methods: Cross-sectional study conducted on 222 adolescents (15-17 years) from a city in southern Brazil. Anthropometric, physical activity, b...

Does the combination of resistance training and stretching increase cardiac overload?

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: To compare the effects of combinations of resistance training (RT) and static stretching (SS) on heart rate (HR), systolic pressure (SBP), diastolic pressure (DBP), rate pressure product (RPP), oxygen saturation (SpO2), rating of perceived effort (RPE), and heart rate variability (HRV) in men...

Objetivos de presión más bajos al estándar no reducirían la morbi-mortalidad en pacientes con hipertensión arterial y enfermedad cardiovascular
Objectives of blood pressure lower than the standard did not reduce morbidity and mortality in patients with hypertension and cardiovascular disease

Evaluation of volume responsiveness by pulse pressure variability and inferior vena cava dispensability index at different tidal volumes by mechanical ventilation

Braz. j. med. biol. res; 52 (9), 2019
This study investigated the effects of tidal volume (TV) on the diagnostic value of pulse pressure variation (PPV) and the inferior vena cava dispensability index (IVC-DI) for volume responsiveness during mechanical ventilation. In patients undergoing elective surgery with mechanical ventilation, differe...
