World Heart Federation Cholesterol Roadmap: The Portuguese case
Abreu, A; Dores, H; Gonçalves, L; Franco, F; Silveira, C; Proença, G; Teresa Timóteo, A; Cardim, N; Pedro, M; Fiuza, M; Ferreira, D; Bento, LAtherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) remains the major cause of premature death and disability; effective cardiovascular (CV) risk prevention is fundamental. The World Heart Federation (WHF) Cholesterol Roadmap provides a framework for national policy development and aims to achieve ASCVD prevention. At the invitation of the WHF, a group of experts from the Portuguese Society of Cardiology (SPC), addr...
Not All Pseudoaneurysms Are Femoral. A Transcaval Transcatheter Aortic Valve Re...
Mano, T; Ramos, R; Cacela, D; Patrício, LWe report a case of a 73-year-old male with multiple comorbidities, including postpoliomyelitis severe scoliosis, referred to our tertiary center due to a severe symptomatic aortic stenosis, considered high risk for surgical aortic valve replacement (AVR). Due to unsuitable femoral and subclavian accesses, the patient underwent a transcaval transcatheter AVR (TAVR) procedure, complicated by the development of a...
Prevalence and Prognostic Impact of Apical Sparing Contractility Pattern in Pat...
Ferreira, V; Aguiar Rosa, S; Pereira-da-Silva, T; Rodrigues, I; Gonçalves, A; Mendonça, T; Castelo, A; Branco, LM; Galrinho, A; Fiarresga, A; Ramos, RIntroduction: Prolonged afterload increase in aortic stenosis (AS) may alter left ventricular (LV) contractility, irrespective of LV ejection fraction (LVEF). The prevalence and morbimortality associated with the apical sparing strain pattern (ASP), a typical finding of cardiac amyloidosis (CA), are not fully understood in patients with AS. We assessed the prevalence of the ASP in patients with severe AS and it...

Guerreiro, C; Ferreira, PC; Teles, RC; Braga, P; Canas da Silva, P; Patrício, L; Silva, JC; Baptista, J; de Sousa Almeida, M; Gama Ribeiro, V; Silva, BIntroduction: The Portuguese National Registry of Transcatheter Aortic Valve Implantation records prospectively the characteristics and outcomes of transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) procedures in Portugal. Objectives: To assess the 30-day and one-year outcomes of TAVI procedures in Portugal. Methods: We compared TAVI results according to the principal access used (transfemoral (TF) vs. non-transfem...

Short- and Long-Term Outcome After Alcohol Septal Ablation in Obstructive Hyper...
Aguiar Rosa, S; Fiarresga, A; Galrinho, A; Cacela, D; Ramos, R; de Sousa, L; Gonçalves, A; Bernardes, L; Patrício, L; Branco, LM; Cruz Ferreira, RIntroduction: In obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM), alcohol septal ablation (ASA) can lead to gradient reduction and symptom improvement. We aimed to assess the efficacy and safety of ASA in a long-term outcome study. Methods: We analyzed patients who underwent ASA over a seven-year period in a tertiary center. The primary echocardiographic endpoint was >50% reduction in left ventricular outflow tra...

Timing and Long-Term Prognosis of Recurrent MI After Primary Angioplasty : Sten...
Viveiros Monteiro, A; Ramos, R; Fiarresga, A; Sousa, L; Cacela, D; Patrício, L; Bernardes, L; Soares, C; Cruz Ferreira, RBACKGROUND: In patients recovering from an ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI), it is not clear whether the negative impact of stent thrombosis (ST) is different from a non-stent-related recurrent myocardial infarction (NSRMI). This study sought to assess the long-term incidence and prognostic impact of recurrent myocardial infarction (MI) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for STEMI ...
Coronary Optical Coherence Tomography: A Practical Overview of Current Clinical...
Cruz Ferreira, R; Pereira-da-Silva, T; Patrício, L; Bezerra, H; Costa, MCoronary optical coherence tomography has emerged as the most powerful in-vivo imaging modality to evaluate vessel structure in detail. It is a useful research tool that provides insights into the pathogenesis of coronary artery disease. This technology has an important clinical role that is still being developed. We review the evidence on the wide spectrum of potential clinical applications for coronary optica...
