Pericardial NT-Pro-BNP and GDF-15 as Biomarkers of Atrial Fibrillation and Atri...
Fragão-Marques, M; Barroso, I; Farinha, R; Miranda, IM; Martins, D; Mancio, J; Rocha-Neves, J; Guimarães, JT; Leite-Moreira, A; Falcão-Pires, IAims: This study aimed to evaluate the association of GDF-15 and NT-pro-BNP in two different biological matrices with AF in severe aortic stenosis patients undergoing aortic valve replacement surgery (AVR), its association with atrial matrix remodeling, as well as with 30-day postoperative outcomes. Main Methods: One hundred and twenty-six patients between 2009 and 2019 with severe aortic stenosis undergoing AV...
Meta-Analysis of Relation of Epicardial Adipose Tissue Volume to Left Atrial Di...
Mancio, J; Azevedo, D; Fragão-Marques, M; Falcão-Pires, I; Leite-Moreira, A; Lunet, N; Fontes-Carvalho, R; Bettencourt, NMany studies have explored the hypothesis that epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) accumulation adversely affects cardiac remodeling. We assessed, through a systematic review and meta-analysis, whether EAT is linked to left atrial (LA) and left ventricular (LV) structure and function, irrespective of global or abdominal visceral adiposity. We searched MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science for studies evaluating the a...
Does the association of prostate cancer with night-shift work differ according ...
Mancio, J; Leal, C; Ferreira, M; Norton, P; Lunet, NBackground: Recent studies suggested that the relation between night-shift work and prostate cancer may differ between rotating and fixed schedules. Objectives: We aimed to quantify the independent association between night-shift work and prostate cancer, for rotating and fixed schedules. Methods: We searched MEDLINE for studies assessing the association of night-shift work, by rotating or fixed schedules, with...
Epicardial adipose tissue volume assessed by computed tomography and coronary a...
Mancio, J; Azevedo, D; Saraiva, F; Azevedo, A; Pires-Morais, G; Leite-Moreira, A; Falcao-Pires, I; Lunet, N; Bettencourt, NTo conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on the crude and adjusted associations between epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) volume determined by computed tomography (CT) and coronary artery disease (CAD). MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science databases were screened for all observational studies assessing the association between EAT volume and CAD. We calculated pooled odds ratio (OR) or hazard ratio (HR) and...
