Left ventricular global longitudinal strain is associated with filling pressure...
Barbas de Albuquerque, Francisco; Teixeira, Rita; Pereira-da-Silva, Tiago; Ferreira, Vera; Valentim Gonçalves, António; Ilhão Moreira, RitaPublisher Copyright: © 2024 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia; Introduction and objectives: Left ventricular global longitudinal strain (LVGLS) is an indicator of myocardial function in patients with heart failure with reduced ejection fraction (HFrEF) and preserved ejection fraction (HFpEF). Nevertheless, it is not clear whether LVGLS correlates with filling pressures and cardiac output (CO) in an ambulatory...
Hemodynamic effect of outpatient levosimendan infusion assessed daily using the...
Teixeira, Ana Rita; Barbas de Albuquerque, Francisco; Pereira-da-Silva, Tiago; Gonçalves, António Valentim; Ilhão Moreira, Rita; Timóteo, Ana TeresaPublisher Copyright: © 2025 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia; Introduction and Objectives: Levosimendan infusion in the outpatient setting improves the clinical status of heart failure (HF) patients, although its hemodynamic effects are not entirely known. Remote monitoring using the CardioMEMS™ system enables daily assessment of pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and estimation of cardiac output (CO). We aimed...
Impacto clínico em curto e longo prazo da Válvula Aórtica Percutânea (VAP) em P...
Guerreiro, Cláudio; Ferreira, Pedro Carrilho; Teles, Rui Campante; Braga, Pedro; Canas da Silva, Pedro; Patrício, Lino; Silva, João CarlosIntroduction: The Portuguese National Registry of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation records prospectively the characteristics and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in Portugal. Objectives: To assess the 30-day and one-year outcomes of TAVI procedures in Portugal. Methods: We compared TAVI results according to the principal access used (transfemoral (TF) vs. non-transfem...
Invasive assessment of the coronary microcirculation using the index of microci...
Fiarresga, António; Selas, Mafalda; Oliveira, Eunice; Cavaco-Gonçalves, Sandra; Cacela, Duarte; Carrapiço, Belmira; Cardim, Nuno; Cruz Ferreira, RuiINTRODUCTION: The index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) enables/provides quantitative, invasive, and real-time assessment of coronary microcirculation status. AIMS: The primary aim of this study was to validate the assessment of IMR in a large animal model, and the secondary aim was to compare two doses of intracoronary papaverine, 5 and 10 mg, for induction of maximal hyperemia and its evolution over time...
