Parámetros asociados al desarrollo de fibrilación auricular en unidad de cuidados críticos
Parameters associated with the development of atrial fibrillation in a critical care unit

A pesar de los avances en el manejo de los pacientes con fibrilación auricular (FA), esta arritmia es responsable de accidente cerebrovascular, insuficiencia cardíaca, muerte súbita y morbilidad cardiovascular en el mundo. El objetivo de este trabajo fue determinar la frecuencia de fibrilación auricu...

Mecanismo de Frank Starling: una visión aplicada en la erección del pene

El mecanismo de Frank-Starling es un concepto básico de la fisiología cardíaca y su aprendizaje. Constituye la base fundamental para el entendimiento del funcionamiento del corazón y patologías prevalentes y con alta morbimortalidad como lo es la insuficiencia cardíaca. Por lo cual, su relación co...

Correlation between myocardial velocity measured using tissue doppler imaging in the left ventricular lead-implanted segment and response to cardiac resynchronization therapy

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: This study investigated whether tissue Doppler imaging parameters, especially the peak systolic velocity of the left ventricular lead-implanted segment (Ss), affect cardiac resynchronization therapy response. METHODS: In this case-control study, 110 enrolled patients were divided into cases ...

Examining the impacts of 12 weeks of low to moderate-intensity aerobic exercise on depression status in patients with systolic congestive heart failure - A randomized controlled study

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: Psychiatric depression disorder is common in patients with systolic congestive heart failure (HF), and both conditions share underlying pathophysiological mechanisms. The incidence rate of depression disorder has clearly increased with the increase in HF manifestations in recent decades. Depr...

Prevalence of peripheral arterial disease in patients with heart failure with preserved ejection fraction

Clinics; 74 (), 2019
OBJECTIVES: To describe the prevalence of the reduced ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with heart failure (HF) with preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF) attended at a HF clinic in the metropolitan region of Porto Alegre, and to compar the patients to those with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF). ME...

Mitigating effect of tanshinone IIA on ventricular remodeling in rats with pressure overload-induced heart failure

Acta cir. bras; 34 (8), 2019
Abstract Purpose To investigate the effect of tanshinone IIA (TIIA) on ventricular remodeling in rats with pressure overload-induced heart failure. Methods Pressure overload-induced heart failure model (abdominal aortic coarctation) was established in 40 rats, which were divided into model and 5, 10 an...

Quality of life related to health for heart failure patients

Rev. bras. enferm; 72 (supl.2), 2019
ABSTRACT Objective: To assess the quality of life related to health for heart failure patients and to relate sociodemographic and clinical data. Method: It is an observational and transversal study, with quantitative approach, carried out in a heart failure ambulatory in the state of Pernambuco. Resul...

Redistribution of heart failure deaths using two methods: linkage of hospital records with death certificate data and multiple causes of death data

Heart failure is considered a garbage code when assigned as the underlying cause of death. Reassigning garbage codes to plausible causes reduces bias and increases comparability of mortality data. Two redistribution methods were applied to Brazilian data, from 2008 to 2012, for decedents aged 55 years an...
