Loop diuretic discontinuation in chronic heart failure patients: A retrospectiv...
Silva, G; Moura, B; Moreira, E; Camila Dias, C; Sousa Pinto, B; Campelo, M; Amorim, S; Martins, E; Pinto, R; Maia Araújo, P; Resende, CX; Mena, BIntroduction and objectives: The use of loop diuretics is central in managing congestion in heart failure (HF), but their impact on prognosis remains unclear. In euvolemic patients, dose reduction is recommended, but there is no recommendation on their discontinuation. This study aims to assess the impact of loop diuretic discontinuation on the prognosis of outpatients with HF with reduced ejection fraction. Me...
Genetic variants identified by target next-generation sequencing in heart trans...
Martins, E; Sousa, A; Canedo, P; Leite, S; Pinto, R; Campelo, M; Amorim, S; Moura, B; Lopes, JM; Machado, JC; Cardoso, JSIntroduction and Objectives: Dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) is a myocardial disease that can progress to a terminal stage, requiring heart transplantation. In this work we aim to contribute to knowledge of genetic variants in adult patients undergoing heart transplantation due to end-stage DCM, reporting the results obtained in our single-center tertiary hospital series using target next-generation sequencing (NG...
Genetic Variants Are Not Rare in ICD Candidates with Dilated Cardiomyopathy: Ti...
Sousa, A; Canedo, P; Campelo, M; Moura, B; Leite, S; Baixia, M; Belo, A; Rocha-Gonçalves, F; Machado, JC; Silva-Cardoso, J; Martins, E; Investigators, FSudden cardiac death (SCD) risk stratification in dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has been based on left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF), even though SCD may occur with LVEF > 35%. Family history of unexplained SCD, especially in the young, raises concern about potential inheritable risk factors. It remains largely unknown how genetic tests can be integrated into clinical practice, particularly in the selecti...
