Effects of isometric handgrip training on blood pressure among hypertensive pat...
Palmeira,Aline Cabral; Farah,Breno Quintella; Silva,Gustavo Oliveira da; Moreira,Sérgio Rodrigues; Barros,Mauro Virgílio Gomes deABSTRACT BACKGROUND: Meta-analyses have demonstrated that isometric handgrip training (IHT) decreases blood pressure in hypertensive individuals. Nonetheless, most studies were conducted in laboratory settings and its effects in real-world settings remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of IHT on office and ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive patients attended within primary healthcare. DESIGN A...
Impact of hypertension on arterial stiffness and cardiac autonomic modulation i...
Farah,Breno Quintella; Cucato,Gabriel Grizzo; Andrade-Lima,Aluísio; Soares,Antonio Henrique Germano; Wolosker,Nelson; Ritti-Dias,Raphael MendesABSTRACT Objective: To examine the impact of hypertension on cardiovascular health in patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease and to identify factors associated with uncontrolled hypertension. Methods: A cross-sectional study including 251 patients with symptomatic peripheral artery disease (63.9% males, mean age 67±10 years). Following hypertension diagnosis, blood pressure was measured to determin...

Botero,João Paulo; Farah,Breno Quintella; Correia,Marilia de Almeida; Lofrano-Prado,Mara Cristina; Cucato,Gabriel Grizzo; Shumate,GraceABSTRACT Objective To investigate the impact of the coronavirus 2019 pandemic on physical activity levels and sedentary behavior among Brazilians residents aged ≥18 years. Methods An online survey was distributed through a social media platform between May 5 and 17, 2020. Participants completed a structured questionnaire in Google Forms, which assessed the physical activity level and sedentary behavior of adult...
Visual data: a new tool to improve the presentation of clinical trial results
Ritti-Dias,Raphael Mendes; Correia,Marilia de Almeida; Farah,Breno QuintellaABSTRACT Randomized controlled trials are known to be the best tool to determine the effects of an intervention; however, most healthcare professionals are not able to adequately understand the results. In this report, concepts, applications, examples, and advantages of using visual data as a complementary tool in the results section of original articles are presented. Visual simplification of data presentation...
Physical Activity Levels in Peripheral Artery Disease Patients
Gerage,Aline Mendes; Correia,Marilia de Almeida; Oliveira,Paulo Mesquita Longano de; Palmeira,Aline Cabral; Domingues,Wagner Jorge RibeiroAbstract Background: Increases in daily physical activity levels is recommended for patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, despite this recommendation, little is known about the physical activity patterns of PAD patients. Objective: To describe the physical activity patterns of patients with symptomatic peripheral artery (PAD) disease. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 174 PAD patien...
AORTIC POST-RESISTANCE EXERCISE HYPOTENSION IN PATIENTS WITH PERIPHERAL ARTERY ...
Correia,Marilia de Almeida; Andrade-Lima,Aluísio; Germano-Soares,Antônio Henrique; Cucato,Gabriel Grizzo; Costa,Eduardo CaldasABSTRACT Introduction: A single session of resistance training decreases brachial blood pressure (BP) in patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, it is not known whether similar responses occur in aortic BP, which is a better predictor of cardiovascular risk. Objective: This study aimed to analyze the effects of a single session of resistance training on aortic BP in PAD patients. Methods: This r...
Validation of a Brazilian Portuguese Version of the Walking Estimated-Limitatio...
Cucato,Gabriel Grizzo; Correia,Marilia de Almeida; Farah,Breno Quintella; Saes,Glauco Fernandes; Lima,Aluísio Henrique de AndradeAbstract Background: The Walking Estimated-Limitation Calculated by History (WELCH) questionnaire has been proposed to evaluate walking impairment in patients with intermittent claudication (IC), presenting satisfactory psychometric properties. However, a Brazilian Portuguese version of the questionnaire is unavailable, limiting its application in Brazilian patients. Objective: To analyze the psychometric prope...
Cardiovascular responses of peripheral artery disease patients during resistanc...
Gomes,Ana Patrícia Ferreira; Prazeres,Thaliane Mayara Pessôa dos; Correia,Marilia de Almeida; Santana,Fábio da Silva; Farah,Breno QuintellaBACKGROUND: Resistance training has been used for the treatment of patients with peripheral artery disease (PAD). However, cardiovascular responses during this type of exercise have not been fully elucidated in these patients. OBJECTIVES: To analyze the cardiovascular responses during resistance exercise and to verify whether there are any correlations between these responses and disease severity or blood press...
Anthropometric parameters as predictors of muscle mass in elderly women
Santana,Fábio da Silva; Farah,Breno Quintela; Soares,Antonio Henrique Germano; Correia,Marilia de Almeida; Prazeres,Thaliane Mayara Pessôa dosThe aims of study were to analyze the relationship between muscle mass and anthropometric parameters in elderly women and to develop a mathematical model to predict muscle mass based on anthropometric parameters. The study included 63 elderly women (71.4 ± 4.4 years). Body weight, height, arm, waist, hip and calf circumferences were measured. Muscle mass was estimated using a densitometry. The muscle mass index...
Resistance exercise performed with repetitions until failure affects nocturnal ...
Correia,Marilia de Almeida; Lima,Aluísio Henrique Rodrigues Andrade; Cardoso-Junior,Crivaldo Gomes; Rodrigues-da-Silva,Anderson José MeloStudies have shown that resistance exercise reduces 24-hour blood pressure to levels below resting values, although this is not a universal finding. The number of repetitions has been shown to influence this response. Thus, the aim of the study was to analyze the effects of resistance exercise performed until failure (UF) on 24-hour blood pressure in hypertensive women. Thirteen hypertensive women underwent thr...
