Trombólisis intraparo en tromboembolia pulmonar masiva

Rev. colomb. cardiol; 25 (2), 2018
Resumen La tromboembolia pulmonar forma parte de la enfermedad tromboembólica venosa, junto con la trombosis venosa profunda. Es una patología de alta morbimortalidad, principalmente si no se diagnostica y/o trata de manera oportuna. El diagnóstico es difícil debido a su presentación clínica variab...

Association of Monocyte Count on Admission with the Angiographic Thrombus Burden in Patients with ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction Undergoing Primary Percutaneous Coronary Intervention

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (4), 2018
Abstract Background: The intracoronary high-thrombus burden during the primary percutaneous coronary intervention in patients with ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) can lead to poor outcomes. Monocytes have been described to play an important role in thrombotic disorders. Objectives: This stud...

Impact of a High-Intensity Training on Ventricular Function in Rats After Acute Myocardial Infarction

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (4), 2018
Abstract Background: Physical exercise should be part of the treatment of post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients. Objective: To evaluate the effects of two training prescription models (continuous x interval) and its impact on ventricular function in rats after AMI with normal ventricular func...

Applicability of Longitudinal Strain of Left Ventricle in Unstable Angina

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (4), 2018
Abstract Background: Unstable angina (UA) is a common cause of hospital admission; risk stratification helps determine strategies for treatment. Objective: To determine the applicability of two-dimensional longitudinal strain (SL2D) for the identification of myocardial ischemia in patients with UA. Me...

Mid-Term Results of Surgical Treatment of Atrial Fibrillation in Valvular Heart Disease Assesed by Speckle Tracking Echocardiography

Arq. bras. cardiol; 110 (4), 2018
Abstract Background: Atrial fibrillation frequently affects patients with valvular heart disease. Ablation of atrial fibrillation during valvular surgery is an alternative for restoring sinus rhythm. Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate mid-term results of successful atrial fibrillation surgical ab...

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

Arq. neuropsiquiatr; 76 (4), 2018
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...

The effect of hemodialysis on the body composition and cardiovascular disease markers in recently diagnosed end stage renal disease patients

SUMMARY AIM: Uremic toxins and excess fluid contributes to increased cardiovascular (CV) risk. We aimed to determine the body fluid status in patients who are just starting hemodialysis (HD) and to determine the effects of excess fluid removed by HD on the CV system. METHODS: A total of 52 patients wit...

Association between multidrug resistance-1 C3435T gene polymorphism and right ventricular dysfunction in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease: cross-sectional study

Säo Paulo med. j; 136 (2), 2018
ABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Right ventricular (RV) dysfunction may develop over the course of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) and is an important predictor of morbidity and mortality. Polymorphism of the multidrug resistance-1 (MDR-1) gene has been correlated with worse clinical findings among pat...
