Estimating glomerular filtration rate in acute coronary syndromes: Different eq...
Almeida, I; Caetano, F; Barra, S; Madeira, M; Mota, P; Leitão-Marques, AAIMS: Renal dysfunction is a powerful predictor of adverse outcomes in patients hospitalized for acute coronary syndrome. Three new glomerular filtration rate (GFR) estimating equations recently emerged, based on serum creatinine (CKD-EPIcreat), serum cystatin C (CKD-EPIcyst) or a combination of both (CKD-EPIcreat/cyst), and they are currently recommended to confirm the presence of renal dysfunction.

Phenotypic expression in hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and late gadolinium enhanc...
Caetano, F; Botelho, A; Trigo, J; Silva, J; Almeida, I; Venâncio, M; Pais, J; Sanches, C; Leitão-Marques, AINTRODUCTION AND AIM: The prognostic value of late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) for risk stratification of hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) patients is the subject of disagreement. We set out to examine the association between clinical and morphological variables, risk factors for sudden cardiac death and LGE in HCM patients. METHODS: From a population of 78 patients with HCM, we studied 53 who underwent cardi...

Apesar de a ecocardiografia ter permitido avanços no seu diagnóstico, a sua abordagem continua a ser motivo de debate. Neste artigo apresentamos o caso de uma doente do sexo feminino, de 24 anos, com antecedentes de tabagismo, obesidade e sob terapêutica anovulatória que recorre ao serviço de urgência...
