Determinants of minute ventilation-carbon dioxide production relationship in Chagas cardiomyopathy

Revista da Sociedade Brasileira de Medicina Tropical, 2021
INTRODUCTION: The minute ventilation-carbon dioxide production relationship (VE/VCO2 slope) is among the main prognostic factors of Chagas cardiomyopathy whose determinants remain unknown. METHODS: Seventy-eight patients with Chagas cardiomyopathy were

Endothelium‐Independent Relaxation of Alkaloid Boldine in Isolated Aortas From Normotensive and Hypertensive Rats: Participation of Ca2+ Channels

Chemistry &Biodiversity, EarlyView.
Involvement of Ca2+ channels in boldine‐induced vascular relaxation. ABSTRACT The regulation of vascular tone plays a fundamental role in blood pressure homeostasis and still represents a significant challenge in clinical practice. Boldine, a naturally occurring alkaloid from Peumus boldus, has emerged as a compound of interest due to its therapeutic ...

Transfemoral Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation (TF‐TAVI) for Patients With Left Ventricular Assist Device (LVAD) and Aortic Regurgitation

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aortic regurgitation (AR) develops in up to 25%−30% of patients with left ventricular assist device (LVAD). Treatment remains challenging since surgery confers significant peri‐operative risk and the lack of valvular calcification renders transfemoral transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TF‐TAVI) with non‐dedicated devices technically ...

Left Ventricular Apical Thrombus in Apical Hypertrophic Cardiomyopathy Without Aneurysm or Arrhythmia: A Case Report

Catheterization and Cardiovascular Interventions, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Apical hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (ApHCM) is a rare variant of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy, typically associated with a benign course. However, complications such as ventricular arrhythmias, apical aneurysms, and thrombus formation may occur. Left ventricular (LV) thrombus is an unusual finding in ApHCM, especially in patients with preserved ...
