A Proposed Inflammatory Score of Circulating Cytokines/Adipokines Associated wi...
Faria,Ana Paula de; Ritter,Alessandra Mileni Versuti; Gasparetti,Carolina Souza; Corrêa,Nathália Batista; Brunelli,Veridiana; Almeida,AurélioAbstract Background: There is evidence that subclinical systemic inflammation is present in resistant hypertension (RHTN). Objective: The aim of the study was to develop an integrated measure of circulating cytokines/adipokines involved in the pathophysiology of RHTN. Methods: RHTN (n = 112) and mild to moderate hypertensive (HTN) subjects (n=112) were studied in a cross-sectional design. Plasma cytokines/adipo...
Metabolic Syndrome-Related Features in Controlled and Resistant Hypertensive Su...
Catharina,Arthur Santa; Modolo,Rodrigo; Ritter,Alessandra Mileni Versuti; Sabbatini,Andréa Rodrigues; Lopes,Heno Ferreira; Moreno Junior,HeitorAbstract Background: Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is widespread among hypertensive patients. Clinical features and potential biomarkers of MetS in the presence of hypertension and resistant hypertension (RHTN) represent a great area of interest for investigation. Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of MetS and the clinical features associated with it in resistant and mild to moderat...
Infliximab reduces cardiac output in rheumatoid arthritis patients without hear...
Santos,Rodrigo Cardoso; Figueiredo,Valéria Nasser; Martins,Luiz Cláudio; Moraes,Carolina de Haro; Quinaglia,Thiago; Boer-Martins,LeandroOBJECTIVE: Human anti-tumor necrosis factor (TNF-α) monoclonal antibody (infliximab) is used to treat autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA). Although the risk of worsening heart failure has been described in patients under chronic treatment, the acute cardiovascular effects of this drug are unknown in RA patients without heart failure. METHODS: 14 RA patients with normal echocardiography and no ...
Near-fatal pulmonary embolism in an experimental model: hemodynamic, gasometric...
Pereira,Daniel José; Moreira,Marcos Mello; Paschoal,Ilma Aparecida; Martins,Luiz Cláudio; Metze,Konradin; Moreno Junior,HeitorINTRODUCTION: Experimental studies on pulmonary embolism (PE) are usually performed under mechanical ventilation. Most patients with suspicion of PE enter the Emergency Services in spontaneous breathing and environmental air. Thus, under these conditions, measurements of hemodynamic, gasometric and capnographic variables contribute largely to a more specific comprehension of cardiopulmonary and gasometric alter...
Infusão intravenosa de vasopressina causa efeitos cardiovasculares adversos dos...
Martins,Luiz Cláudio; Sabha,Maricene; Paganelli,Maria Ondina; Coelho,Otávio Rizzi; Ferreira-Melo,Silvia Elaine; Moreira,Marcos MelloFUNDAMENTO: A arginina-vasopressina (AVP) tem sido amplamente utilizada no tratamento do choque vasodilatador. Entretanto, há muitas questões relativas ao seu uso clínico, especialmente em altas doses, pois sua utilização pode estar associada a efeitos cardíacos adversos. OBJETIVO: Investigar os efeitos cardiovasculares da AVP em infusão IV contínua nos parâmetros hemodinâmicos em cães. MÉTODOS: Dezesseis cães ...
Disfunção endotelial venosa em pacientes com doença de Chagas sem insuficiência...
Plentz,Rodrigo Della Méa; Irigoyen,Maria Claudia; Muller,Andreia Simone; Casarini,Dulce Elena; Rubira,Marcelo Custodio; Moreno Junior,HeitorOBJETIVO: Analisar a função endotelial venosa em pacientes chagásicos sem insuficiência cardíaca. MÉTODOS: O grupo Chagas (G1) foi composto por quatorze mulheres e dois homens com idade de 46 ± 2,7 anos, e o grupo controle (G0), por sete mulheres e um homem, pareados em idade, peso, altura. A Técnica de Complacência da Veia Dorsal da Mão foi utilizada para avaliação da função endotelial venosa. Foram infundidas...
