Syncope in Patients with Cardiac Pacemakers
Rocha,Eduardo Arrais; Cunha,Gisele Schineider; Tavares,Aline Bezerra; Viana Júnior,Antônio Brazil; Quidute,Ana Rosa PintoAbstract Introduction: It is challenging to diagnose syncope in patients with pacemakers. Because these patients have increased morbidity and mortality risks, they require immediate attention to determine the causes in order to provide appropriate treatment. This study aimed to investigate the causes and predictive factors of syncope as well as the methods used to diagnose syncope in cardiac pacemaker patients....
Clinical Course After Cardioverter-Defibrillator Implantation: Chagasic Versus ...
Pereira,Francisca Tatiana Moreira; Rocha,Eduardo Arrais; Monteiro,Marcelo de Paula Martins; Lima,Neiberg de AlcantaraAbstract Background: The outcome of Chagas disease patients after receiving implantable cardioverter defibrillator (ICD) is still controversial. Objective: To compare clinical outcomes after ICD implantation in patients with chronic Chagas cardiomyopathy (CCC) and ischemic heart disease (IHD). Methods: Prospective study of a population of 153 patients receiving ICD (65 with CCC and 88 with IHD). The devices wer...
Development and Validation of Predictive Models of Cardiac Mortality and Transp...
Rocha,Eduardo Arrais; Pereira,Francisca Tatiana Moreira; Abreu,José Sebastião; Lima,José Wellington O.; Monteiro,Marcelo de Paula MartinsAbstractBackground:30-40% of cardiac resynchronization therapy cases do not achieve favorable outcomes.Objective:This study aimed to develop predictive models for the combined endpoint of cardiac death and transplantation (Tx) at different stages of cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT).Methods:Prospective observational study of 116 patients aged 64.8 ± 11.1 years, 68.1% of whom had functional class (FC) III ...
Echocardiographic Predictors of Worse Outcome After Cardiac Resynchronization T...
Rocha,Eduardo Arrais; Pereira,Francisca Tatiana Moreira; Abreu,José Sebastião; Lima,José Wellington O.; Monteiro,Marcelo de Paula M.Abstract Background: Cardiac resynchronization therapy (CRT) is the recommended treatment by leading global guidelines. However, 30%-40% of selected patients are non-responders. Objective: To develop an echocardiographic model to predict cardiac death or transplantation (Tx) 1 year after CRT. Method: Observational, prospective study, with the inclusion of 116 patients, aged 64.89 ± 11.18 years, 69.8% male, 68,1...
