Gender Differences in the Effect of Adiposity on Markers of Cardiovascular Risk...

INTRODUCTION: In the last years, evidence has started to emerge on the presence of cardiometabolic differences between genders before puberty. This study aims to evaluate if the association between obesity and markers of cardiovascular risk is different between genders in 8 to 9-year-olds. METHODS: Cross sectional study of 315 children (167 boys) aged 8-9 years old, followed in the birth cohort Generation XXI (...

Síndrome de Marfan — Manifestações Cardiovasculares

O Síndrome de Marfan (S.M.) é a alteração hereditária do tecido conjuntivo mais comum. É caracterizado por manifestações cardiovasculares, esqueléticas e oculares. O seu prognóstico depende principalmente das complicações cardiovasculares. Com o objectivo de avaliar as manifestações cardiovasculares do S.M. em idade pediátrica, os autores procederam à revisão dos processos clínicos das crianças seguidas na cons...

Perinatal profile of ventricular overload markers in congenital diaphragmatic h...

Background: In congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), pulmonary hypertension increases right ventricle (RV) afterload, which could impair heart function and contribute to poor outcome for most affected infants. Nevertheless, the real significance of vascular pulmonary alterations in perinatal hemodynamics is largely unknown. It is defined that ventricular pressure overload induces increased myocardium gene expr...

Myocardium expression of connexin 43, SERCA2a, and myosin heavy chain isoforms ...

Background: Previous morphological studies had produced controversial results with regard to heart development in congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), whereas a few publications investigated cardiac function and myocardial maturation. Myocardium maturation is associated with age-dependent increasing of gene expression of gap junction protein connexin 43 (Cx43), adenosine triphosphatase of the sarcoplasmic ret...
