Influência do estado de maturação na qualidade de cereja ‘Sweetheart’
Ricardo-Rodrigues, S.; Agostinho, J.; Laranjo, M.; Agulheiro-Santos, A.C.The cherry is highly appreciated for its organoleptic and nutritional qualities, and for its important role in disease prevention. The correct definition of the ripeness at harvest is indispensable for placing the cherry on the market with high quality. Early harvesting, either for fear of rain or for immediate economic return, often occurs especially at the beginning of the campaign. This study aims to evaluat...
Prognostic impact of invasive hemodynamic evaluation in patients with pulmonary...
Ricardo, I. Aguiar; Plácido, R.; Gonçalves, I.; Agostinho, J.; Silva, G. Lima da; Menezes, M. Nobre; Francisco, A. R.; Santos, R.; Ferreira, A.Introduction: Invasive hemodynamic evaluation is a fundamental diagnostic method in patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH). However, its prognostic value in this group of patients is not fully established. Purpose: To assess the prognostic impact of hemodynamic parameters of right catheterization in patients with PH. Methods: Prospective observational study of patients with PH undergoing right and left cathe...
Can we rely on iFR for avoiding FFR? Conclusions of a 5-year experience
Menezes, M. Nobre; Francisco, A. R. G.; Agostinho, J.; Ferreira, P. Carrilho; Jorge, C.; Torres, D.; Cardoso, P.; Oliveira, E. Infante deBackground: Recently, the instantaneous wave free ratio (iFR), has been proposed an alternative or complementary method to fractional flow reserve (FFR). This new method does not require the use of adenosine and may expedite the speed of functional assessment. The iFR “hybrid strategy” relies on values <0,86 or >0,93 as definitive results which would not require the use of FFR. However, this strategy is much le...
Implantation of ICD and CRT-D in the elderly population : will it be a limiting...
Ricardo, I. Aguiar; Dias, Nuno Cortez; Marques, P.; Magalhães, A.; Gonçalves, I.; Agostinho, J.; Silva, G. Lima da; Guimarães, T.; Santos, I.Introduction: Implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) and cardiac resynchronization (CRT-D) implantation in elderly patients is effective in preventing sudden death, although limited by the natural shorter life expectancy. The different device brands present very variable survival estimates and it has been discussed the availability of less expensive, less longevity generators for the elderly population. P...
