Validation of the SCORE2 risk prediction algorithm in a Portuguese population
Temtem, Margarida; Mendonça, Maria Isabel; Santos, Marina; Sá, Débora; Sousa, Francisco; Freitas, Sónia; Borges, Sofia; Henriques, EvaPublisher Copyright: © 2024 Sociedade Portuguesa de Cardiologia; Introduction and Objectives: Subjects without cardiovascular (CV) disease (CVD) may suffer from subclinical atherosclerosis, and are at increased risk for atherosclerotic CV events (ASCVE). The ESC/EAS risk SCORE was updated by SCORE2, which estimates 10-year risk of fatal and non-fatal CVD in European populations aged 40–69 years without establis...
Epicardial Adipose Tissue
Sousa, João Adriano; Mendonça, Maria Isabel; Serrão, Marco; Borges, Sofia; Henriques, Eva; Freitas, Sónia; Tentem, Margarida; Santos, MarinaPublisher Copyright: © The Author(s) 2021.; Evidence points epicardial adipose tissue (EAT) as an emerging cardiovascular risk marker. Whether genetic polymorphisms linked with atherosclerosis are associated with higher EAT is still unknown. We aim to assess the role of genetic burden of atherosclerosis and its association to EAT in a cohort of asymptomatic individuals without coronary disease. A total of 996 p...

Systolic time ratio measured by impedance cardiography accurately screens left ...
Nazário Leão, Rodrigo; Marques Silva, Pedro; Branco, Luísa; Fonseca, Helena; Bento, Bruno; Alves, Marta; Virella, Daniel; Palma Reis, RobertoBackground: The use of impedance cardiography (ICG) may play a role in the assessment of cardiac effects of hypertension (HT), especially its hemodynamic features. Hypertensive heart disease involves structural changes and alterations in left ventricular geometry that end up causing systolic and/or diastolic dysfunction. The IMPEDDANS study aims to assess the usefulness of ICG for the screening of left ventricu...
