Comparison between Bruce and ramp protocols for exercise testing in the diagnosis of myocardial ischemia
Int. j. cardiovasc. sci. (Impr.); 35 (1), 2022
BACKGROUND: Exercise tests are an important tool in the investigation of myocardial ischemia. The ramp protocol has gained increasing importance in clinical practice because of the possibility of individualizing its exercise intensity. OBJECTIVE: To assess and compare the sensitivity, specificity, and ac...

Níveis de Interleucina-35 em Pacientes com Doença Arterial Coronariana Estável
Arq. bras. cardiol; 118 (2), 2022
Resumo Fundamento Foi demonstrado que as subunidades de interleucina-35 (IL-35) estão fortemente expressas nas placas ateroscleróticas em humanos. Assim, considera-se que elas têm um papel na aterosclerose. Objetivos Neste estudo, os níveis de IL-35 foram comparados com o grupo controle em pacien...

Early Use of Handgrip Exercise Associated with Dobutamine Stress Echocardiography in Women
Int. j. cardiovasc. sci. (Impr.); 34 (4), 2021
Abstract Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is an important cause of morbidity and mortality in women and requires early diagnosis for defining the appropriate treatment. Objective To identify the positive predictive value (PPV) and safety of the early use of handgrip exercise in pharmacological ...

The Association between Tp-e interval, Tp-e/QT, and Tp-e/QTc Ratios and Coronary Artery Disease Spectrum and Syntax Score
Int. j. cardiovasc. sci. (Impr.); 34 (2), 2021
Abstract Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) causes electrical heterogeneity on ventricular myocardium and ventricular arrhythmia due to myocardial ischemia linked to ventricular repolarization abnormalities. Objective Our aim is to investigate the impact of increased level of CAD spectrum and s...

The Role of Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Risk Scoring Systems in Predicting Coronary Atherosclerosis
Int. j. cardiovasc. sci. (Impr.); 34 (1), 2021
Abstract Background Comparative data on the performance of cardiovascular risk scoring systems (CRSSs) in patients with severe coronary artery disease (CAD) are lacking. Objectives To compare different CRSSs regarding their ability to discriminate patients with severe CAD. Method A total of 414 patien...
Inappropriate screening of obstructive coronary artery disease during pre-anesthesia assessment of candidates for non-cardiac surgery
Braz. j. med. biol. res; 54 (2), 2021
Preoperative evaluation in elective surgeries has been associated with successful surgical treatment. However, there is no solid scientific evidence that screening for coronary artery disease (CAD) reduces surgical risk. The aims of this study were to describe the frequency of inappropriate investigation...
