In chronic diseases, the Quality of Life (QoL) is one of the most important patient-reported outcomes. Cardiovascular diseases are the main cause of death worldwide and ischemic heart disease represents an important health burden. In a large population-based cohort, individuals with self-reported previous myocardial infarction (MI) presented worse self-perceived health statuses in all domains, particularly in mobility and anxiety / depression. However, QoL was not independently associated with MI but instead was associated with age, sex and number of comorbidities, [...]

Background: Coronary artery ectasia (CAE) is defined by focal enlargement of the coronary artery exceeding 1.5 times the adjacent normal segment. CAE can often cause arrhythmias, heart failure, sudden death, and myocardial ischemia. Ischemia due to microvascular dysfunction may be responsible for the ventricular heterogeneity in CAE. Objectives: The aim of our study was to evaluate the frontal QRS-T angle in patients with CAE. Methods: Our study included 55 patients with CAE and 50 individuals in the control group. [...]

Background Patients with degenerated saphenous vein grafts (SVG) have a higher risk of developing no-reflow. The CHA2DS2-VASc score was established as a no-reflow predictor in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Objectives In our study, we aimed to assess the association between CHA2DS2-VASc score and no-reflow after the procedure and short-term mortality in patients with SVG who underwent elective percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).

The SARS-CoV-2 pandemic has widely and profoundly impacted cardiovascular care worldwide. In Brazil, a decrease in emergency department visits for chest pain has been witnessed in both public and private healthcare providers., There has been a 23% reduction in weekly emergency department visits for chest pain, from 13.0 to 10.1 per 100.000 habitants, in public health services in Curitiba, Paraná. Private emergency departments have reported an even higher 42% reduction in suspected acute coronary syndrome presentations. A meta-analysis of 12 [...]

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is increasing at epidemic proportions worldwide. MetS and its components are frequent among Brazilian women (41.8%). Women are affected by changes in adipose tissue distribution, lipid profile, insulin resistance (IR), and vascular remodeling during their lives. These changes result from the lack of estrogen after menopause. There have been various attempts to propose a uniform origin for the clustering of the MetS components, including genetics, IR, obesity, lifestyle, sleep disturbances, inflammation, fetal and neonatal programming, and [...]
