Razão Neutrófilo-Linfócito e Aterosclerose da Aorta Abdominal entre Indivíduos ...
Marin,Bárbara Said; Cesena,Fernando; Laurinavicius,Antonio Gabriele; Santos,Raul D.; Bittencourt,Marcio SommerResumo Fundamento A razão neutrófilo-linfócito (RNL) tem sido proposta como um marcador inflamatório possivelmente associado a aterosclerose coronariana, embora a maioria dos dados atuais seja restrita à fase aguda. Além disso, a associação entre a RNL e a aterosclerose extracoronariana ainda não está clara. Objetivo Analisar a associação entre a RNL e aterosclerose da aorta abdominal (AtAA). Métodos Foram incl...
Percepção Inadequada do Risco Cardiovascular e Baixo Conhecimento sobre Hiperco...
Santos,Raul D.; Pereira,Carolina; Cesena,Fernando; Laurinavicius,Antonio Gabriele; Tabone,Viviane; Bittencourt,Marcio SommerResumo Fundamento Indivíduos com hipercolesterolemia grave apresentam alto risco de desenvolver doença cardiovascular aterosclerótica (DCVA). Muitos deles apresentam hipercolesterolemia familiar (HF). Objetivos Avaliar, a partir da perspectiva dos pacientes, o nível de conhecimento sobre a hipercolesterolemia grave, especialmente em relação a HF, DCVA, percepção de risco, desempenho do rastreamento em cascata e...

Cesena,Fernando Henpin Yue; Laurinavicius,Antonio Gabriele; Valente,Viviane A.; Conceição,Raquel D.; Santos,Raul D.; Bittencourt,Marcio S.Abstract Background: The best way to select individuals for lipid-lowering treatment in the population is controversial. Objective: In healthy individuals in primary prevention: to assess the relationship between cardiovascular risk categorized according to the V Brazilian Guideline on Dyslipidemia and the risk calculated by the pooled cohort equations (PCE); to compare the proportion of individuals eligible fo...
The Expected Cardiovascular Benefit of Plasma Cholesterol Lowering with or With...
Cesena,Fernando Henpin Yue; Laurinavicius,Antonio Gabriele; Valente,Viviane A.; Conceição,Raquel D.; Santos,Raul D.; Bittencourt,Marcio S.Abstract Background: There is controversy whether management of blood cholesterol should be based or not on LDL-cholesterol (LDL-c) target concentrations. Objectives: To compare the estimated impact of different lipid-lowering strategies, based or not on LDL-c targets, on the risk of major cardiovascular events in a population with higher cardiovascular risk. Methods: We included consecutive individuals undergo...
Persistent Depressive Symptoms are Independent Predictors of Low-Grade Inflamma...
Franco,Fábio Gazelato de Mello; Laurinavicius,Antonio Gabriele; Lotufo,Paulo A.; Conceição,Raquel D.; Morita,Fernando; Katz,Marcelo; Wajngarten,MaurícioAbstract Background: Depressive symptoms are independently associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) among individuals with non-diagnosed CVD. The mechanisms underlying this association, however, remain unclear. Inflammation has been indicated as a possible mechanistic link between depression and CVD. Objectives: This study evaluated the association between persistent depressive symptoms...
Association of subclinical inflammation, glycated hemoglobin and risk for obstr...
D’Aurea,Carolina Vicaria Rodrigues; Cerazi,Bruno Gion de Andrade; Laurinavicius,Antonio Gabriele; Janovsky,Carolina Castro Porto SilvaABSTRACT Objective To investigate the inter-relation between high sensitivity C-reactive protein and glycated hemoglobin in prediction of risk of obstructive sleep apnea. Methods We included all individuals participating in a check-up program at the Preventive Medicine Center of Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in 2014. The Berlin questionnaire for risk of obstructive sleep apnea was used, and the high sensit...

Relevância da pré-hipertensão como categoria diagnóstica em adultos assintomáticos
Nary,Fernando Costa; Santos,Raul D.; Laurinavicius,Antonio Gabriele; Conceição,Raquel Dilguerian de Oliveira; Carvalho,José Antonio Maluf deOBJETIVO: Avaliar a associação da pré-hipertensão com perfis metabólico, inflamatório e de risco cardiovascular em indivíduos assintomáticos. MÉTODOS: Entre 2006 a 2009, 11.011 adultos assintomáticos (média de idade de 43 anos; 22% mulheres) foram submetidos a protocolo de check-up, sendo classificados em 3 grupos: normotensos (pressão arterial<120x80mmHg), pré-hipertensos (pressão arterial= 120/80mmHg e <140/9...
