Methods: An online survey on perceptions of cardiology and professional preferences was sent to 1371 members of the Portuguese Society of Cardiology, of whom 18.2% completed the surv...

Global warming and heat wave risks for cardiovascular diseases: A position pape...

Global warming is a result of the increased emission of greenhouse gases. The consequences of this climate change threaten society, biodiversity, food and resource availability. The consequences include an increased risk of cardiovascular (CV) disease and cardiovascular mortality. In this position paper, we summarize the data from the main studies that assess the risks of a temperature increase or heat waves in...

Wearable remote monitoring in heart failure care – where do we stand?

Cardiovascular rehabilitation in patients aged 70-year-old or older: benefits o...

Background: The benefits of exercise-based cardiac rehabilitation (EBCR) programs in post-acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients have been demonstrated. Our aim was to assess the impact of EBCR in ≥ 70-years-old vs. younger post-AMI patients. Methods: We retrospectively evaluated patients who underwent a supervised EBCR protocol, twice a week during 6-12 weeks. We evaluated changes in several outcomes based...

Monitorização electrocardiográfica ambulatória na distrofia miotónica do Tipo 1

A distrofia miotónica é uma doença multissistémica, sendo o envolvimento do coração a segunda causa de morte destes doentes. O atingimento do tecido de condução cardíaco é o mais frequente, caracteristicamente de forma variavelmente progressiva e assintomática. Uma vigilância especial nestes doentes, através da monitorização electrocardiográfica, torna-se então necessária, sendo a sua periodicidade desconhecida...
